Now There's This Acc That Said Canon/book Alicent And Rhaenyra's Beauty Cannot Be Compared, Because 'Alicent

Now there's this acc that said canon/book Alicent and Rhaenyra's beauty cannot be compared, because 'Alicent is just as beautiful as Rhaenyra'. And their reasoning? Because Hightowers have Silver/blonde hair. And ofc Alicent had silver hair. And silver hair is the only thing that makes Rhaenyra more beautiful than Alicent.

The only Hightowers with silver hair is Alerie, who is most likely 40+, it could simply be age. OR the fact she came after Rhaena married into House Hightower. She had six DAUGHTERS. Lady Sam and Lyonel had six SONS. I'm not saying they all married each other. BUT, they're cousins. Though Westerosis did not marry their siblings, they did marry their cousins (ex: Tywin & Joanna, were first cousins).

It is so stupid how the shitshow has brainwashed people.

The only upperhand Alicent had on Rhaenyra was the fact she remained a slim beauty after 4 pregnancy.

the anon asking for differences

Aemond wasn't bullied

Alicent wasn't a victim

Rhaenyra was younger than Alicent

Rhaenyra and Alicent were never friends, Rhaenyra and Laena were close

Daemon never choked Rhaenyra

The dress scene with Alicent belonged to Rhaenyra in the book

Rhaenys had dark hair

Aegon's r@pe on Dyana wasn't so obvious

Helaena wasn't a dreamer

Aemma died in a bit different way

Age gap between Alicent and Rhaenyra was bigger, Alicent had a beef with a child

Different narration for sure

Rhaenyra never slept with Criston

Laena didn't die by getting burned, she died in childbirth

Rhaenys and Meleys never interrupted corporation

The crowd was cheering for Rhaenyra, not Aegon

Viserys was actively preparing Rhaenyra to be an heir

Rhaenyra was a badass

Criston convinced Aegon to take the crown that's why his alias is "Kingmaker"

Thank you nonnie!!!

Alicent having beef with a child, iconic 😭😭😭

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.

I had my friend tell me that one of the best changes in the fanfic shitshow was changing Rhaenyra's black and red dress to Alisaint's green dress.

And when I asked her why was it so? Her simple answer was sending me this reddit post.

"Never made sense, as a fierce statement, her house colors, what's so defiant about it?" -Maybe the fact that Alicent was actively trying to replace her position as heir? And her telling Alicent to fuck off.

"Like something Sansa would do" -you mean Cersei? Sansa isn't stupid enough to commit treason against the king, to have a 'fuck you, i am cool' moment.

"It gave the moment the Greens and Blacks were born" -you mean when the greens were born? Where is the black counterpart? The part where Renada married a black man, maybe? Or the that house Velaryon wore black?

All the emotional weight it deserved, much more than the books ever did. -emotinal weight?lol. The books had a plot behind it, Rhaenyra making a statement she is every inch a Targaryen, and her father's true heir. What exactly did the show do? Alisaint being angry because renada fucked someone?

Lol. These people are truly delusional.

Quick sketch of Baelon and Alyssa about to make Daemon lmao

Hi I'm really sorry for the terrible comments you are getting. But I think it is mostly because House of the dragon is now canon. Which I get because people like you have being fans longer than hotd fans. Calling hotd fans terrible when you are the one making unnecessary rude comments and playing the victim Is just wrong.

In all seriousness, how is that fanfic shitshow supposed to be canon when the viewers doesn't even understand what the universe of 'A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE' is abt lol.

You people are the same people who said otherworldly valyrian beauty was a propaganda made up by the conquerors so they could be seen as worthier rulers. Like I wish I was making this up.

The same people who bullied a 60+ man who has been a (Tolkien, GRRM, fantasy) viewer for YEARS, all because he said the actor who was playing Renada in that shitshow was not beautiful enough to be 'THE REALM'S DELIGHT'. That's all he said, he didn't say the actor was ugly or any other negative comment. But people bullied him off the app.

GRRM HIMSELF HAS SAID NO OTHER CANON IS TRUE BUT THE BOOKS. Like this man, at his age has to earn his living somehow.

If you like the show canon and believe it to be canon, FINE. But coming into my asks and leaving unnecessary asks is perfectly sane behaviour.

How am I playing the victim here when I get called a pedophile because I like Daenerys and Viserra.

Daenerys was a 13 getting rap3d.

Viserra was a 15 year trying to escape a life of marital rap3 but died a virgin.
