Anti Daemyra - Tumblr Posts

because the fandom focuses so much on Rhaenyra's threesome with Daemon and Laena, when at that time Rhaenyra had her secret relationship with Harwin. Literally here they are invalidating both relationships.

And no, I've never seen them include Harwin so don't come out with "it's a polyamorous foursome", because of course Daemon x Laena are not as interesting without Rhaenyra, and how is Rhaenyra going to have pure love with someone who doesn't know Daemon?🙄

#Justice for Harwin and Rhaewin

I know a lot of people aren’t gonna love this but i got to say it:

Laena/Rhaenyra wasn’t sacrificed for Rhaenicent. It was sacrificed for the same reason Harwin/Rhaenyra and Laena/Daemon were sacrificed.

Daemyra

So, I don't know why I am posting this but I had this in my heart since a long time. So, bear with me.

I read Princess and the Queen and Fire and Blood back in 2019, after GoT ended for more content. And I got to know about The Dance from Tumblr, the awesome artists and fanarts.

When I read those books, I felt for Rhaenyra. No I don't have a step mother but Rhaenyra felt alone, like her mother died and her father remarried, her new step mom was first kind and loving but then after a brother all that changed.

I can't blame book Rhaenyra for not having good relationship with her siblings, she was a child, just like them and the world was trying to replace her with them just as her mother had been replaced. (When my brother was born, I felt the same and we don't have the best relationship even now, but you know whose fault is that? Adults. Adults who love to compare and pity siblings against siblings)

Why Viserys never tried to mend the relationship between his eldest son and daughter? Even Alicent tried. And then Daemon evidently manipulated Rhaenyra more to hate her siblings for his own benefit. He was pushed down in succession. (He should never have been in succession)

Then Rhaenyra grows older, bold and doing as she like, fighting her step mother, beefing with her siblings and people are following her. She is being courted and has freedom in that era.

I liked book Rhaenyra because she seemed ruthless. She wasn't trying to pretend being good, she was ambitious, she was fighting for the throne because her father chose her. Not because of a stupid prophecy. We all know how that ended. She wanted the throne. (I will eat my brother alive if my father chose me for something and not him). She was unhinged.

And I liked that about her. I liked Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. She was greatly flawed, she offered her brothers for Laenor, she fed a man to her dragon, she hosted a lavish feast in a starving city, she was a woman and let men do the fighting. She was a mother and did everything to protect her children (foolishly though). She faced death with bravery and didn't begged and didn't offered negotiation, didn't ran. A true dragon. Like those menacing cruel dragons?

And then HotD gave us...

1) 'I rather serve as a knight and ride to battle and glory' but she isn't train with swords. If she wants that then why isn't she trained? Was this to appease Arya's fans? Also this message of feminism, 'a woman only cool and worth something when she wants to be like men, Do what men does.' I am not saying this is bad but you are making her a feminist atleast let her appreciate females? Also, again, if she wanted to train with swords then why didn't she? Nobody stopped Visenya and Alyssa, no one would have stopped her.

2) On Aegon's nameday, enough people have said that already, Rhaenyra being mean to her two year old brother and acting like a spoilt child but I want to add this—

Everyone came there for Aegon, hoping Viserys will name him heir. HotD gave us Rhaenyra acting like a brat and then killing a boar and totally projecting her as a protagonist by showing White Hart, and sexy cool asf covered with blood. She could have made alliance, like book Rhaenyra would have mingled with everyone, dressed better than everyone, charming everyone. Not arguing with other ladies and lords.

3) Daemyra. Enough said. I never thought Book Rhaenyra and Book Daemon had any great love story, they were not even written as such. Nah, Rhaenyra desired Criston, tried to seduce him first. Daemon was only using her. He had one healthy relationship in the book and that was with Laena. They both came together because none of them considered Alicent and her children as their family too.

I hate this show for promoting them as some great tragic love. Nah, Rhaenyra needed his protection and Daemon wanted to be closer to the throne. Why didn't they let them be that? How are they going to justify as to why Daemon left Rhaenyra and his son alone to go die along with Aemond?

And if Daemyra is a great tragic love story why they got afraid to show Rhaenyra having Laenor murdered? Because that was the level of her craziness in the books, and that's in the character of Daemyra. That's 'I will do anything to be with you, for you' energy.

Gods, I thought Rhaenyra would be Cersei Lannister level in HotD, cool, snarky, awesome, beautiful, unhinged, fashion icon, doing everything for her children, doing everything for her and not shying away from the person she is, a necessary evil (like feeding Vaemond to Syrax). And incestuous. Of course Jaime x Cersei level of craziness in Daemyra?

In HotD... Emma and Milly did awesome job but their character was bland. Served to us by writers as 'a goody two shoes always right'. 'she can do nothing wrong.'

Why is media afraid of showing what women are? Why can we only be 'goody two shoes, patriarchy bad, I am awesome cause I am not like other girls' in feminist shows? Why can't they women as humans, as grey, ambitious? Why can't woman be anti hero? Rhaenyra is suffering from stereotyped blend of Arya and Dany.

Alicent is a fresh breath in that regard. But I hate the show for stripping away her agency and making her a crybaby. You are showing me that the Queen, who may or not have murdered Viserys, cried for him? That her, who plotted and plotted and led the Greens, crowned her daughter would not want her son to be king?

They even changed the dinner scene, everyone was supposed to make fun of the other party. No heartwarming and Aegon was supposed to fight Jace.

But make two female characters cry over each other, cry over men, abuse them, strip their agency, make the person you are trying to show as protag (she should not even be a protag) blander than water and call it a feminist show.

(HotD should not even be a feminist show, it should have been a family drama show. Imagine my embarrassment when I told my brother that I love Rhaenyra and I am just like her before the show started and by the end I was like ... Wow Aegon Second of His Name, I stan the One True King. Because he, despite they made him a monster is more interesting than Rhaenyra at this point.)

I was robbed. We were robbed of spicy hot pizza and instead given a bland cheese toast.

I refuse to eat bread, give me cake. Cersei, Margaery, Catelyn were cake, Alicent... She is the cookie. (Not adding Sansa because in the end of the show... Book Sansa is pastry.)

At this moment we all most cope. Thank you whoever read this. Also wanted to add, I was Team Woman but I can't stan this Rhaenyra. Nah.

HBO I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT DAEMON AND RHAENYRA WEIRD ASS INBREEDING RELATIONSHIP!!

“A Targaryen love story”

Kiss my ass. Viserys horse had a better love story than these two. I hate this relationship so much. Rhaenyra deserves better.

Good night to everyone, except: haters of any female hotd character, d*emyras, l*cemonds, people who can’t separate actors from their characters, people who reduce female characters to the men in their lives, anyone who believes Targaryen incest is the exception, masc!rhaenyra haters, people who think velaryons shouldn’t be black, people who excuse sexism/pedo shit in the show because “that’s what they did back then”, and lastly bitches with no media literacy.

Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship not only embodies what a grooming relationship looks like but also with how it progresses once the minor grows up. Not every person who was groomed is going to admit that it happened to them because it make the situation so much more real. And sometimes the person who was groomed doesn’t even realize that it happened to them until years down the line.

And the saddest part about their relationship and people who are in similar relationships in real life almost always go back. Because that person has been with them through their entire life and has quite literally seen them through thick and thin(even if the abuser was the cause behind it all) and it make the victim believe that the abuser could never be a bad person. We see that when Daemon celebrates Aemma and Baelon’s death by toasting Nyra’s brother as, “Heir for a day.”

Then Daemon goes on to steal the egg she chose for her brother and effectively take over Dragonstone-the castle of which she is now Princess of. And when he comes back to court after being away for four years at war she just forgives him since he’s the only person she has left at court. Even years later, when Harwin and Laena are both dead and Laenor is becoming increasingly depressed because of his sister’s death, Rhaenyra goes back to Daemon because she’s associated him with a relying hand who can help her at court.

She’s so convinced that he’s only looking after her to the point that when he starts an affair with teenage Nettles, all Rhaenyra thinks is that it must have been Nettles who ‘lured’ Daemon into her bed and sends word that she wants Nettles killed.

Daemon never respected nor loved anyone but himself period.

Trigger Warnings; grooming, manipulation, physical abuse, forced pregnancy, abuse, cheating, stillbirth, miscarriage.

What is actually astounding is fans thinking Daemon ever loved and respected Aemma.

Like, guys. While she was being forcibly impregnated for Viserys' dreams of a son, suffering through multiple pregnancies, miscarriages and stillbirths, he was advocating for himself to be made heir. When she died in childbirth and her son a while after her, he was out partying and joking about the "heir for a day". He then proceeded to groom, manipulate and almost ruin her only daughter's reputation, and after marrying Rhaenyra, he physically abused her (only show, season 1 episode 10) and very probably cheated on her (in the book Fire and Blood).

Daemon never respected nor loved Aemma. (Neither did he love Rhaenyra.)

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2.02: Rhaenyra the Cruel)

So , true and its sad because, Rhaenyra is betrayed by everybody on her side to some extent and truly only thought with greed and selfishness with conveyed into madness. I do believe she is held accountable for everything done except what is done primarily by Daemon's actions and I hate how she went about dealing with baby Maelor , poor Helaena. Daemyra stans are very delusional and I sure as hell agree with that. For me it was pretty obvious from the Get-go especially after Daemon left Rhaenyra exposed and vulnerable in a brothel where anybody could be in position to take advantage of her. Also Daemon is just as bad well even worse than any lord who of course and obviously wanted Rhaenyra for her blood. The girl is pawn by birth whether she refuses to admit it or not so, of course she'll flaunt whatever superiority complex she has and that says a lot when Daemon cheats on her with nettles. I hate people would be like oh "well they had children together." and? , Arranged marriages and marriage due to a women simply being a women still exists like what world are Daemyra stans living in? , with all that being said Rhaenyra and Daemon are their own worst enemies but, Rhaenyra is partially the cause of her own downfall but, Viserys i paved the way for that by naming her heir in the first place he thought he was keeping everything peaceful but he was actually killing them slowly. I agree with your statement moral compass wise but, I still like Young and Adult Rhaenyra because, I relate to both consistently through mental image and physical values.

Daemyra stans are so delusional! Daemon does not love Rhaenyra I don’t know how many times George has to repeat this before it finally goes through their heads 😂

Daemon loves Rhaenyra so much he tried to ruin her reputation when she was only 14.

Daemon loves Rhaenyra so much he ran off with Laena.

Daemon loves Rhaenyra so much the only wife he’s canonically faithful to was Laena.

Daemon loves Rhaenyra so much he continued his relationship with Myseria, something she was aware of.

Daemon loves Rhaenyra so much he left her for a teenage girl.

Where in Fire & Blood does it tell me Daemon loved Rhaenyra? 🤣

sorry for the late response😭😭

and also LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

Daemon was NEVER in love with Rhaenyra, he just wanted to be her husband to piss of everyone who doesn’t want him on the throne. Gaining Rhaenyra was his only way of becoming king, even if it’s just consort and getting his blood on the iron throne. Rhaenyra was his key to power. He never loved her.

I’m pretty sure he was more in love with Laena than Rhaenyra. And yeah, he cheats on her MULTIPLE times. Daemyras are so delusional. Like how do you miss the point so badly??
