@@VampirewolfkingYou’re right. Rhaenyra was the youngest person to ever claim a dragon and I think she did it when she was 6 or 7. Daemon most likely did it when he was a teenager
@@shaunpothepalli836 Daeron was the youngest person to claim an already-hatched dragon (6) but Rhaenyra was the youngest person to ever ride a dragon (7).
Honestly love how Rhaenyra cares for her family. She puts them first, and I honestly love how she shows her love for Baela, and by extension, Rhaena. The children of Laena, became hers, and Baela and Rhaena became the daughters she never bore.
Rhaeny’s children and grandchildren are Rhaenyra’s cousins as well because Rhaenys was her cousin, so, of course she cares for her family. She even wanted to give pardons to her Hightower siblings from King Viserys because she felt that they were given bad counsel by Otto Hightower.
This is a tragic story, made even more devastating by the fact that a family is destroying itself over a conflict that could have been settled without such a heartbreaking outcome.
@@ShaiShai1 By the time the suggestion was put out there she wasn't engaged to Laenor, Viserys just put a stop to the idea because of the age difference (also seemed like he might have been against an incest marriage despite previously being married to his first cousin and he himself being a product of incest).
@@PapiiGotGame Vhagar was Baelon's mount. Meleys was Alyssa's. Baelon and Alyssa were Vizzy and Daemon's parents and one of the most wholesome couple in the Targs. Combined with the fact that dragons can feel their riders' emotions (like how Silverwing and Vermithor often coil together), the Rook Rest battle must have been heartbreaking too.
Did anyone else noticed how Rhaenyra looked at Baela's hands as if wanting to hold them but restrained herself from doing it? Like she wants to show her affection but either doesn't know how to (since she's not her daughter, and Baela herself puts distance between them) or doesn't want to get too attached to Baela to then lose her as well
I think it is Rhaenyra respecting the boundary. Remember, she too lost her mother young. I think Rhaenyra does love both girls, but Baela is a bit more like her father and grandmother....she's outwardly tough.
I still don't understand why Rhaenys didn't have a proper funeral... Even the twins and Luke without a body to mourn had a funeral, but not Rhaenys... 🙈
They should have kept the scene where Baela finds Rhaenys with her dragon and lets out a scream, just made Rhaenys burned instead of looking like a sleeping beauty after the fall. They also cut the scene of Rhaenyra flying to the Red Keep after finding Lucerys. They deleted these scenes but finished the first two episodes with Alicent Crispin shmex….pathetic
Please stop with the why were they so mad at Aemond comments. Get the facts first. Rhaenys didn't claim Meleys until three years after Alyssa Targaryen died. The Vhagar incident happened the very same night Laena was laid to rest. Baela and Rhaena are children, emotionally hurt children. Understand that these were not adults!
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518Right! This fandom literally showed virtually no compassion for them, yet they have TONS for Aemond and even Helaena to the point of ad nauseam. It's annoying. These girls deserved the same kindness they'd demand for anyone else.
@@gutf-k4t Especially Aemond had literally zero reason to be rude to Rhaena. She never did anything do him and she was suffering as much as him not having a dragon.
I despise the show for trying so HARD to make rhaenys hate rhaenyra. In books she ADORED her niece and side note rhaenicent is toxic and not book accurate however laenyra is. Laena the daughter of rhaenys and cousin of rhaenyra, whos also first wife of daemon. They were a NEEDED polyamorus representation in show.
I am curious why is rhaenys admired for sneaking into the dragonpit to claim meleys whereas everyone turned against aemond when he djd the same with vhagar
It's cuz there were a few very crucial differences. Firstly, Meleys' former rider had died YEARS prior. While no one has a "right" to a dragon, so theoretically Vhagar was "up for grabs", it's in very poor taste to try to claim a dragon literally on the night of its rider's funeral. Aemond was a kid so I don't necessarily blame him for that, but also you similarly can't really blame Laena's daughters for being pissed about it. And secondly, we can discern from Rhaenyra's story here that Daemon had tried to claim Meleys but Meleys wasn't interested in him... indicating he was first given an opportunity to claim his mom's dragon BEFORE Rhaenys had a shot. And thirdly, most obviously, it's just the nature of the familial relationship at the time. Rhaenyra literally says that Daemon WAS mad here, and if the state of their family's relationship was like the greens vs. blacks at that point, I'm sure the event would have been treated as more serious and Daemon's "faction" would have been furious with Rhaenys. But the family wasn't divided or at war, so only Daemon was pissed, and eventually he got over it and got his own dragon anyways (Rhaenys's dad's dragon lol).
They were children. Small, young children who had just lost their mother tragically and were in mourning and emotional. He claimed their mother's dragon on the night of her funeral, of course a hurt, grieving child is not going to be mature enough in that moment to understand that. To them, he stole the only connection left to their mother on the night they had to say goodbye to her.
Am I the only one who finds them a bit hypocritical here? They are fine with Daemons mother's dragon allowing rhaenys to ride him and not Daemon but when Aemond rode Vhagar, he apparently stole the dragon. Even though they knew that the dragons choose their riders and won't accept anyone else.

Team Black has always saying that they were kids, it was their mothers dragon and Aemond hurted them in the night of her funeral, but somehow forgot that Daemon was with Rhaenyra that same night on the beach and they were married not long after. To me, their father did a far worse thing to these girls.
@@foxlunacy It is related because you're saying that Aemond hurted the girls so much when we all know that dragons can't be stolen. Aemond could also be killed by Vhagar, but she recognized his courage and character. We all know that even if he didn't took her, Laena's daughters could never claim her because that's the way of things and she could only belong to her true rider. There is no good side in this story, blacks and greens are making same mistakes, they are all hypocrites.
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518 I did not see her conversation with Corlys as badass, she was being Rhaenyra's campaign manager. I love Rhaenyra, but that conversation should have been about the fact that she was her grandmother's only source of comfort for six years because Corlys decided to leave. Rhaenys and Corlys had just lost BOTH of their children, and it is her ten year old granddaughter comforting her? Who does that? Baela should have gone in on him. No holds barred. I needed her to be Daemon 2.0 in that moment.
@@janellejulianajoy We don't know if Baela actually moved to Driftmark at 10 - we know only she lived with Rhaenys at age 16, but it's unknown how long (though that would actually made it even worse for Rhaenys who would be for some time completely alone). You are right Corlys does deserves to be scorned for leaving family but scene was still badass. As daughter of powerful claimants to throne, Baela could easily scheme to have power, but she displays fierce loyalty to her step-mother and stepbrothers instead. She takes her fate in her own hands - unlike Aegon who let Greens to sat him on the throne.
@@Robertthachickenwrangler u know i'm a busy adult person witth a job, family and u know life( +im watching the show with my partner who also has a job) so yeah it's reasonable for me not to be able to find time to watch an episode during the last 5 days and i'm pretty sure there's like a milliion titles u could come up with that wouldn"t spoil anything
Yall are so disgusting for ruining Aemond and not giving him any screentime after baiting the fans during the promotion. Completely nasty behaviour. Ewan Mitchell deserved so much better, not a minute per episode.

rhaenys claiming daemon's mom's dragon and daemon claiming her dad's(his uncle) dragon in spite is peak cousin behavior.
Daemon was six years old when Rhaenys claimed Meleys. (She was 13) We don't know when Daemon claimed Caraxes, but I doubt he did it at age six.
@@VampirewolfkingYou’re right. Rhaenyra was the youngest person to ever claim a dragon and I think she did it when she was 6 or 7. Daemon most likely did it when he was a teenager

It worked out better. Caraxes is Daemon through and through. And Meleys is Rhaenys

no it coulndt have...Alicent and Otto would have never accepted female ruler
It could have, simply have rhaenyra marry Aegon
@@animewiredshe was already married to daemon though and Laenor

I didn’t know Daemon tried to claim Meleys first before Caraxes but Meleys rejected him! Especially considering that was his mother’s dragon.
A deform dragon is better than no dragon just ask one of Daemon daughters
@@LeafyTheLeafBoy Lol for sure especially when it’s Caraxes 😆 wonder which one he would’ve tired to claim if Caraxes rejected him as well
Daemon was six years old when his mother died.. No wonder Meleys rejected him.
@@Vampirewolfking I don’t think he tried to claim her when he was that young most likely when he got a bit older & actually he was 3 when she died
It doesn't entirely make sense given Rhaenys claimed Meleys when Daemon was 6.
I just realised, both of Baela's grandmothers rode Meleys 🥲
jesus muhammed christ this realization has broken me.
RIP Meleys #TeamDragon the real victims of the Dance!
Thank you finally someone said this. Because if you really think about it, the dragon are family as well and have to fight against each other.

“Have you looked after our girls??!” Don’t worry Laena someday is indeed looking after your girls.
Team Rhaenys Targaryen, The Queen Who Should Have Been ✊️💔
She was a brave idiot
The writers had her casually slaughtered hundreds of civilians to show off and then forgot about it.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning...
Love me some Baela! Shes awesome
they missed chance to mention Alyssa story when mention meleys claim by Rhaenys. while the fact she is both of their grandmother
I still don't understand why Rhaenys didn't have a proper funeral... Even the twins and Luke without a body to mourn had a funeral, but not Rhaenys... 🙈
Maybe she had but simply off-screen. There had to be some days before they returned with Aegon to King's Landing.
They probably thought it might loose it's effect if they made a similar scene for each (main-) character that dies.
Why Baela looks SO gorgeous 😭
Ikr, she's drop dead gorgeous
She really is and there are folks saying she isn't pretty enough for Jace. Like, man. Bye!
He definitely was just making any kind of excuse. Look at you now , traveling left and Right
