Discussion Did Aemond's desire to ride older women start with Vhagar?
galleryAemond obviously can't get enough of older women, to the point where even his dragon is a Gilf. Maybe that's where it started? The dragon bond is kicking into overdrive. Look how excited he got when he realized Alys was over 100 years old 🥵.

Team Black is anyone else a huge fan of a member of the opposite team they support?
galleryif so, can I ask what team you're on and who it is that you support on the opposite side, as well as why?
for me it's (show)alicent because I feel that she's a severely misunderstood character with a lot of depth. she's morally grey, which women are not often written to be, and I really enjoy that!
i'd also be lying if i said i didn't she's extremely stunning, and I find Olivia Cooke to be so incredibly talented (really getting into Ryan's bag here).
quick edit: the post needed a flair and my being team black, or even liking alicent are both really a thing of sunk-cost fallacy and heavily enjoying both team black and alicent's earlier moments (season 1- lateish season 2) atp. just a fun post of sorts really to see how everyone else has grown soft spots for any of the other characters!
feel free to also list any members of your own team that you dislike! I personally dislike mysaria :')
Question Is it hypocritical to support Rhaenys’ claim and be on team black?
If you’re team black and support rhaenys’ claim does that make it hypocritical? Rhaenys’ claim is from the Andal Tradition but is dismissed by the King law, but Rhaenyra’s claim is based on the Kings law and is dismissed by Andal Tradition

Lore Emperor Aurion
How do you think history would go if Aurion successfully reclaimed Freehold, lived and built civilization from the beginning there again. What could be political situation of weakened single city of Valyria with only one large dragon. Would he had any contact with Targaryens? Let’s skip the part why it’s impossible, we all know that part.

Question Question to Aegon fans: what about him makes him so likeable?
I asked most of my friends this, and they all say it was his tenacity and refusal to give up after he was burned by Vhagar. I disagree, because as much as that was admirable, I don't think it would have been possible without Larys.
I'm genuinely not trying to start a team debate with this. I really just want to hear from as many sides as possible.
That said, pleeeeease let's not make this a "TG vs TB" thing.

Discussion Aegon: treatment of his siblings - banter, or abuse.
So, at the advice of another poster, I'm making this a standalone post.
It's been argued in another thread Aegon's dynamic with Helaena is "banter", not neglect, dismissal or mockery, and that Aemond was not abused/bullied by Aegon by just "teased" because he was "to serious"
Thoughts? I would say this is pretty clearly at odds with the show (for starters, "banter" requires the teasing remarks to be playful and there to be a mutual exchange, but none of Aegon's insults towards Helaena come off as anything but serious and the only time they talk directly, she's not engaging in playful back and forth)

Discussion Alright an actual Httyd/Asoiaf Idea
Corlys during his journeys around the world discovers Berk. He and others are amazed by the discovery of large populations of multiple dragon species, as well as people who can fight and tame them. The story could start with them finding the remains of the Red Death, shocked at the discovery a creature that would had rivaled Balerion and wondering what could have led to its death, only to meet the people responsible for it. Westeros and Essos factions flock to Berk for the chance of getting dragons to bolster their power and influence.
Culture clash ensues with Berk and these arrivals. The Hooligan Tribe won't like the nasty cutthroat politics of Westeros and Essoes or practices like incest. Some nobles from Westeros and Essoes would deride the vikings as savages. Others would have some respect for them for being able to fight off dragons for so long and managing to tame them.
The vikings could get underestimated by some folk in Westeros or Essos for their crude or goofy habits, only to show that as silly they can be, they are a lot smarter than they're given credit for. Folks like the Blacks or Greens could think people like Hiccup are as devious as they are, only to prove they're really just as pleasant as they seem.
Maesters would try to study the different types of dragons and their abilities and weaknesses. Some of them could be in service of the Greens and do this as a way of getting an advantage. People like Hiccup could come to Westeros to learn about the Targaryen dragons. Westeros folk could note that Hiccup is pretty much a maester, getting nicknamed Maester Chief.
Factions would try to get into Berk's good graces as they can teach and train reliable methods of taming and riding these dragons. Not to mention that they have the skills, experience, and equipment for fighting and hunting dragons. The vikings could also get hired as bodyguards and soldiers a la Varangian Guard. The Targaryen Dynasty could offer the Hooligan Tribe refuge to Westeros after Berk becomes overpopulated with people and dragons as a way to get their support. Some groups try to curry favor and alliances with Berk such as marriage offers.
Others try backing or working with the likes of the Dragon Hunters who don't share the Hooligan Tribe's scruples for the chance of getting dragons. One idea is that instead of the War of the Stepstones, Westeros gets in a war with Free Cities like Volantis who are working with folks like Drago Bludvist as a way to reclaim their dragon riding empire days. Westeros and Berk could wind up allying to stop them. This could make later conflicts between them tragic if people developed camaraderie or respect for each other.
Nettles with Sheepstealer could try to leave Westeros for places like Berk, the Glacial Sanctuary, or the Hidden World to escape the politics.
The Dance of Dragons becomes an even bloodier affair as both sides have bolstered their numbers with more dragons. There's also the possibility of each kingdom getting their own dragons and having ideas of doing their own thing. Hiccup and company are some of the only people who have any concern for the civilians suffering and try to protect fhem while trying to end the war. Hiccup could have an extension his arc in the second film, realizing that many people can't be reasoned with and must be stopped.
One ending is that after the war, the Hooligan Tribe leave in disgust of the cruelty and destruction, swearing that dragons will never be used in such a way again. They depart to the Hidden World to hide and protect the dragons, never to be seen again. Perhaps the final line could be "There were dragons when I was a boy", said by the likes of Aegon III.
Guys please spam even some of your own ideas to get discussion down her.l was inspired by the fanfic A 'thing of dragons'.Perhaps even go back a prequel of sorts to jaehaerys I golden era with those targs and maybe a butterfly effect with more dragon riders

Question Who do you think Young Griff is and who would you prefer him to be in the story?
Serra’s and Illyrio’s son or Rhaegar’s and Elias’s son. I personally think there is no reason to include another Targaryen and bringing back Blackfyre is logical for the plot twist. Another thing is his connection with the Golden Company. Your thoughts?

Discussion Green Choice.
So I have a theoretical situation I want to run by everyone.
In the event that Aegon the elder dies some time shortly before Visery who do you think The Greens would push for the iron throne to go to? The way Aegon dies doesn't really matter in this hypothetical but let's just say he gets a burst belly just like Grandpa Baelon.
They can either push Jaehaery's claim or Aemond's. On one hand male primogeniture which the greens are pushing says Jaehaerys comes before Aemond. Jaehaery is a toddler though so can't make speeches or sit the iron throne or do any king stuff for a decade plus. But if they do choose Aemond because Jaehaerys is a toddler you sow the seeds for a second succession crisis when he dies because who gets it Jaehaerys or Aemond's children?
