Grin And Bare It

-daeron being adept at reading omund’s emotions, anticipating his anger, and then trying to protect other people from it

-tessarion acting protective of daeron around ormund

-ormund acting “fatherly” while raising daeron to dislike his actual father

-ormund raising daeron to think of himself as “different” from his “savage” family-but only thanks to ormund of course. if daeron disappoints ormund, he’s returning to his “savage” origins

-the irony of alicent thinking she saved daeron from a doomed upbringing while unknowingly sending him off to something worse

Aegon and Rhaena are both really interesting in how they mirror their dragons. Aegon is injured and dying/dead, the first time we’ve seen him happy since Rook’s Rest is with Sunfyre again. It almost gives the vibe that he wishes he could curl up and die next to his dragon.

Meanwhile Rhaena has fully changed her look to match Sheepstealer’s wild nature. It’s a bond that’s clearly grown a lot stronger since Ep 1 as now he listens to her, she can fly with ease, and he’s very protective. For once, she argues back against her father, denies him, insults his ideas for how they can fix it. Completely refuses to even consider giving Sheepstealer up. Obviously there are a lot of other factors but it suggests that just being around Sheepstealer is influencing her own behavior. After all, she does claim “He is a part of me.” (He’s not in the episode but Aemond very similarly changes his whole personality after claiming Vhagar.)
