@sunfyrethegold: maturing is realising that the hightowers were in fact objectively better for the realm || #houseofthedragon #hotd #ottohightower #alicenthightower #househightower || team green team black house targaryen the targaryens edit edits fyp asoiaf rhaenyra daemon ulf smallfolk aemond aegon dyana tg tb
I think Rhaenyra is the rightful heir but Alicent was a way better ruler than both Aegon and Rhaenyra combined. She ruled the kingdom for years when Viserys was bedridden and it was a peaceful time. Alicent and Otto might not have been good people in our eyes (as in the watcher) but they were fit to rule definitely

so weird how helaena is the only one in the show (with a dragon) to realize how cruel it is to bring your dragon into a war as a weapon

Rhaenys killing hundreds in the dragon pit isn’t discussed enough…

Like the Hightowers or not, they knew how to rule effectively.

Alicent Hightower demitiu uma serva estuprada pelo filho para esconder o crime, Otto literalmente queimou uma mansão de Mysaria, matando milhares de servos. COMO os Hightowers são melhores que os Targaryen? todos são casas nobres e antigas no final das contas, não uma grande diferença entre um e outro.

It's why Daenerys Stormborn is better cause she's the only Targaryen who knows what it likes to live with nothing. And use her newfound gifts not to conquer but help the unfortunate who suffer like her

Even though i prefer the Targaryens, we gotta be honest, they see smallfolk as completely peasant rats and who are we to blame? They own fucking dragons and think they’re gods so everyone beneath them is simply nothing

i lowkey hate how they've made it seem that ormund is responsible for the smallfolk's disdain for rhaenyra — it's like they are just a prop for the writers and not actually people. they ARE what aegon and rhaenyra should be fighting over, because what is the point of siting on a throne with no subjects left to rule? and smallfolk's dislike for rhaenyra/aegon/aemond was a result of THEIR CRUEL ACTIONS, not propaganda. it's like writers insist on them being this blank slate with no memory, opinions and beliefs. i hoped that when manderly mentioned rhaenyra's blockade it'd be expanded upon — but it wasn't so far. and i hoped that smallfolk will revolt in their religious leader being k!lled, but so far? nothing. in the books, they've had their own prejudices, yes, and their beliefs and opinions, and here it's like they are whatever the writers want them to be with no thought behind them — like they aren't supposed to be a real, diverse group of people but a bunch of dolls, who have no thought of their own, but need to have their beliefs installed by one of the highborns :|

Westeros would be a million times better if the Hightowers were the kings.

After 15 years of watching the Targaryens, maturing is realizing they were the real villains all along.

One thing about the hightowers is that at least they were wary about the small folk

Independientemente del equipo al que pertenezcas, es imposible negar que Otto y Alicent (y en general los Hightower) fueron los mejores gobernantes y por mucho.
