Brinquedo de Papel Machê

Meu bem, que você me encontre ao acaso num dia qualquer, que você venha sutil e leve, que ali seja traçado nosso destino, que você me veja e me ache linda a ponto de pensar: “eu quero casar com essa mulher”!!!

Que você olhe no fundo dos meus olhos e me enxergue através deles.

Que você me ache encantadora e sinta vontade de me conhecer cada vez mais.

Que você me ache engraçada a ponto de rir das minhas piadas bobas e sinta como se tivesse ao seu lado a melhor comediante do mundo.

Que você me ache sensual e que sinta cada parte do seu corpo se acender quando eu estiver por perto, que nossa química possa ser sentida a quilômetros de distância.

Que nossa conexão possa ser sentida em todos os níveis e que vivamos cada momento como se fosse eterno.

Que nos meus momentos difíceis você saiba que o pior está por vir mas que não me abandone.

Que você veja meu caos e me abrace.

Que você me segure em silêncio enquanto o meu mundo desmorona.

Que você conheça meu lado bom mas entenda que em alguns momentos minha cabeça será minha pior inimiga.

Que você não me acha uma pessoa difícil de amar.

Que você faça planos comigo, que você queira viver um futuro lindo, que me faça surpresas gigantescas mas também que faça pequenas declarações diárias que demonstrem a sorte que é poder compartilhar seu amor comigo.

Que você me sinta, me ouça, me veja e me enxergue transparente e que com todos os meus defeitos imperfeitos você nunca vá embora.

Que eu seja seu lar e que isso seja suficiente para você ficar….

Querido futuro amor, que você exista em algum lugar!

Unfortunately for you, anon, Viserys naming Rhaenyra mattered quite a fucking lot because he was the king.

Rhaenyra was formally proclaimed his heir, made Princess of Dragonstone, and hundreds of lords and landed knights swore oaths to defend her rights of succession. Even after Aegon was born, Viserys deliberately refused to replace her and continued treating Rhaenyra as his heir in his will. So “she had no claim” is objectively nonsense. Her claim was disputed, not nonexistent.

And the Great Council of 101 did not produce some neat little written statute saying “eldest male always wins forever.” According to Gyldayn, it established what many regarded as a powerful precedent that the Iron Throne should not pass to a woman or through the female line. Viserys then explicitly ignored that precedent when he retained Rhaenyra as heir after having sons. That contradiction between royal designation and male-preference precedent is precisely why both Rhaenyra and Aegon had serious competing claims.

“Everyone was backing Aegon” is also demonstrably false. Green and Black factions existed at court years before Viserys died, and even the Greens themselves expected houses that had opposed Viserys’s line at the Great Council to support Rhaenyra. The realm literally divided between two claimants. You cannot simultaneously argue that Rhaenyra had no meaningful claim and explain why enormous portions of Westeros fought to enforce it.

Viserys’s actual failure was refusing to properly settle the contradiction after Aegon was born. He should have called another Great Council, demanded fresh oaths, issued an unmistakable public settlement of succession, or transferred the inheritance to Aegon if that was what he wanted. Instead he refused to discuss it and left two competing principles waiting to explode after his death.

Also, saying Rhaenyra simply “started the war” is factional storytelling. Viserys died with Rhaenyra still his declared heir, and the Greens crowned Aegon in opposition to that stated succession. Rhaenyra then asserted her own claim. That is why it is called a war of succession, not “Rhaenyra randomly decided to murder thousands because she fancied a chair.”

No, anon. You’re taking characters receiving horrible endings in a brutal dynastic history and retroactively turning every death into divine punishment for violating “traditional values.”

That interpretation immediately falls apart because honorable, dutiful and religious people are slaughtered throughout GRRM’s work while complete monsters sometimes live comfortably for decades. Westeros is not a morality play where the gods hand out deaths according to sexual conduct.

Rhaenyra being remembered officially as a usurper also proves very little about whether her original claim existed. History was written after Aegon II’s reign was legally recognized, so naturally the official succession lists favored his kingship. Political victory shapes historical memory. It does not travel backward through time and erase the fact that Viserys named Rhaenyra heir, lords swore to uphold her rights, and half the realm eventually fought for her.

And Aegon III becoming king actually creates a problem for your argument. Aegon II’s entire claim depended heavily on male-preference succession. Once his sons were dead, he could hardly insist that his daughter Jaehaera should inherit ahead of the surviving male descendant of Viserys I without undermining the same principle used against Rhaenyra. Aegon III was not some random child handed the crown because everyone ran out of options. He was Rhaenyra’s surviving son and a legitimate dynastic claimant.

You can absolutely argue that GRRM explores the social importance of family, duty, stability and tradition. He does. What he does not write is “sexually immoral woman disobeys religion, therefore gods kill her children and humiliate her as punishment.” That is your moral framework being imposed onto the text.

Use your head, anon. 🫩

Saying “Rhaenyra started the war because she refused to surrender her claim” is just as reductive as saying Aegon started it because he accepted the crown.

Viserys died with Rhaenyra still formally designated as his heir. The Greens concealed his death, convened a council, crowned Aegon and presented him publicly as king before Rhaenyra could even respond. Rhaenyra then asserted the succession she had been promised for decades. That is a succession crisis between two rival claimants, not one woman randomly deciding to start a civil war because she was bored on Dragonstone.

And “she would have been fine if she just accepted it” is pure hindsight. Why exactly should she assume that surrendering would guarantee her safety, her children’s inheritance, or some peaceful future marriage arrangement between the branches? Westerosi history is not exactly famous for defeated rival claimants being left alone forever. Dragonstone, Driftmark and several dragonriders under one displaced branch would remain an obvious political threat to Aegon’s descendants.

Also, Aegon being crowned “with all signs of legitimacy” does not erase Rhaenyra’s legitimacy. He had a serious claim through male-preference precedent. She had a serious claim through royal designation, sworn oaths and decades as acknowledged heir. That clash is literally why the Dance happened.

You’re becoming genuinely fucking annoying, anon, because you’re so emotionally attached to proving Rhaenyra had no legitimate position that you keep citing things that don’t actually support your argument.

Yes, Alicent proposed marrying Aegon to Rhaenyra, and Viserys rejected it because he understood exactly what Alicent wanted politically. None of that changes the fact that he continued to recognize Rhaenyra as his heir after Aegon was born.

The Laenor incident actually undermines you further. Viserys threatening to replace Rhaenyra if she refused the marriage demonstrates that he believed the succession remained within his royal authority to determine.

You can argue Aegon had the stronger traditional claim. That is reasonable. But this obsessive attempt to turn “Rhaenyra’s claim was contested” into “Rhaenyra had no claim whatsoever” is simply historically and textually wrong.

Because Emma specifically pushed for Rhaenyra to have a more masculine wardrobe and carry a sword, and that approach influenced the costume direction for younger Rhaenyra too.

The armor was fucking atrocious, but I suspect that may actually have been intentional. It looks like they were going for “Rhaenyra found Visenya’s ancient armor gathering dust somewhere and simply put it on” without properly refitting, modernizing or decorating it for herself. Which would explain why the supposed Queen looks less impressive than half the guards standing behind her.

And visually, that entire sequence felt painfully derivative of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. Same general imagery, except filtered through Temu Westeros.

I couldn't understand why she kept seemingly wanting approval from others and especially Mysaria. That am I worthy line was so cringe. She's the freaking queen, she was named heir over twenty years ago by the king, the whole realm bent the knee to her, and now some advisor she can't fully trust should tell her if she's worthy?

The way she kept having the same conversation with Daemon, over and over again in nearly every episode. What happened to we were meant to burn together, they will fear what we're capable of ?

The way she so easily trusted Alicent, as if the past twenty years did not exist, as if her and Laenor were not set aside at court, as though Alicent didn't fuel the hatred that eventually killed Lucerys. I could go on for hours. It's not a simple quarrel, it's two decades of hostility.

Where is her care for her own children? Not one moment does she worry about little Aegon or Viserys, not one moment do we see her being affectionate towards Joffrey. Where is her loyalty to her own allies, to Baela for example, who has lost as much as her?

I could go on, I think, but I'm going to stop there. I'm putting the last thing under a cut because I know I'm going to get hate for this.

“Season 4 is going to be even bigger. We have new characters and new dragons and new locations, all to come, that I think are gonna make it a very worthy final season.”

If you would guess, where it’s going? 💀
