Dreamfyre - Tumblr Posts
I just saw a Syrax hate post. Guy, please. You can hate the characters you hate and love the characters you love, but why do you need to bring the dragons into it? This isn’t about them, it’s about their riders. If you hate Rhaenyra, you hate Rhaenyra. You don’t need to start bitching about her dragon because of it. The dragons are innocent. In fact the whole show is about how the dragons suffered and died out because of people. Please don’t hate on the dragons.
THE DRAGONS AND THEIR RIDERS In House of the Dragon (insp.)
always remember this kids: Out of the two Green dragons that outlived their riders, one chose to die instead of fleeing and the other decided to go fight her deceased rider's enemies which included a dragon three times bigger than her
Dreamfyre and Tessarion were loyal to the very fucking end
the theme of dreamfyre for herself and her riders is simply that you cannot outfly rot and that even a dragon cannot save women from westerosi gender violence and i think about her name and the hundreds of thousands of miles she flew with rhaena searching and searching for home and daughters and meaning and the years spent stabled in the dragonpit as helaena was consumed by her grief and solitude and then her eventual death madly trying to break free of her bonds as the pit was stormed, crashing into the great stone dome, and being crushed to death along with her attackers. a grounded dragon, killed by her own escape from something as mundane as humans and rock

Rhaena Targaryen & Dreamfyre
“I fed my last husband to my dragon. If you make me take another, I may eat him myself.”
Dreamfyre you’re still the mother of Daenerys’s dragons in my heart and will be until GRRM comes out of his hole to tell me otherwise
Dreamfyre was a slender she-dragon, born in or shortly before 32 AC. Her coloration was primarily pale blue, with silver markings. She had silver crests and pale blue wings. Dreamfyre was ridden by Princess Rhaena Targaryen and later by Queen Helaena Targaryen. She died in 130 AC, in the Dragonpit.

No but Rhaenyra building a relationship with her siblings not because of some earth shattering, world turning realisation but because they are honestly just some of the dumbest kids alive who have no self preservation. And somehow, shes ended up being the one who always stumbles upon them or is called to handle it.
Rhaenyra stumbles upon Aemond attempting to steal a dragon egg. She has to literally pick this kid up and drag him away because going near nesting dragons when you are not their rider is a bad idea. She thinks shes got him to stop, when the next night she comes across him doing this again. and again. and again. The same way each time. She doesnt know whether to laugh or be worried about his memory.
Aegon decides he’s going to sneak out of the castle and go ride Sunfyre. He is also drunk and has been grounded. He decides he is going to sneak out at night doing the old bedsheet to the ground trick. His room is several stories up. He makes it, but Rhaenyra, who was on a nightly stroll, is waiting at the bottom an “are you fucking serious” look on her face. The next day she gets a message from the dragonpit requesting her presence. She arrives to the sight of Aegon trying to mount Sunfyre. He has not realised there is no saddle on or that Sunfyre is standing too high for him to get up and is very confused. Rhaenyra has questions. She does not get an answer.
She thought she was safe from Helaena. She was not. Helaena wants some rare bug that is found in some really steep cliffs. She takes Dreamfyre and goes off without telling anyone. Rhaenyra is sent as an adult dragon rider to find her. Helaena decides that Dreamfyre cant get her close enough to the cliffs while on her back and has started to walk along her wing to get close. Rhaenyra has to get Syrax to grab her off Dreamfyres wing and place her back into the saddle. Helaena tries again. Rhaenyra grabs her again. She is honestly wondering whether someone dropped these kids as babies.
Thanks god Daeron is in Oldtown, his elder siblings are bad enough.
