#witheredoffherwitch

Three decades of mystery, where she fought tooth and nail to secure her son's legitimacy.. at least in the beginning. I need some theories for these unaccounted years - don't really care how kooky they are!!

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about that part of the story (mine vision endeth with Alys killing her haters in plain sight in Harrenhal and sending them away to KL with the fear of the Seven in them lol).

However, the kooky theory I heard and that I've come to prefer over any others to explain her and Aemondcito's disappearance is that she cloaked them with some form of magic of disguise to protect themselves against the changing and dangerous political tides.

Aemondcito is a high value child and a threat to the Crown. She also had the added prejudices of society to deal with. She must have tried her very best to survive and reserve her son for whatever divine, political or magical purpose she believed he was called to.

I don't think she wanted to spend all her time and fight drawing attention to the two of them by starting disturbances. So she probably kept herself and her son hidden for a very, very long time... positioning him where he stood to benefit. 🙂

You are the shining light of Helaena-shaped love on my dashboard. From all the wild theories to frustratingly inept and juvenile opinions about this character, I'm so lucky to have your page be the sane anchor this fandom needs 🫶

I will probably crawl into your askbox again after I get through the dreaded Alys/Alicent/Rhaenyra theory from my own inbox.. but for now, give me your overall thoughts? Also lowkey.. this trailer is making me question every single leak? I'm starting to question the legitimacy of rumors like the 'female ratcatcher' or any other casting speculations.

Thanks for the ask!!!!

I loved so much from the trailer!!! My nitpicks are few, like the crown on Aegon oddly worn lower, his hair looking funny, the ominous music that plays whenever a Green comes on screen to emphasize they're 'villains'.

You can hear it play when Aegon enters the throne room, Criston beheads Lord Darklyn and Aemond appears on Vhagar. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra is clearly being turned into a Visenya/Dany hybrid lmao, that we should all root for to bring down these treasonous, filthy 'Hightowers'.

On to the good stuff now, though. The Greens ARE serving cunt. The voice overs from Otto and Alicent...delicious!!! The Sunfyre representation on Aegon's clothes 🔥, Helaena looking ethereal in every shot, Criston front and center in battle, Alicent being the queen of good looks and melancholy, Aemond in his unapologetic kinslayer reputation era!!!!!! Additionally, Jaehaerys has a traditional Targaryen burial (cremation) and not the Hightower one as I feared. Cheese is clearly trash and not an unwilling participant as most of us thought.

The pros outweigh the cons by far for me. Only thing I'm sad about is not seeing a sneak of Alys in Harrenhal although we could see that in the next trailer. 😉

You are my refuge from all the blithering, nonsensical fandom discourse. I turn to your blog for guidance and you deliver it with enthusiasm. I'm so thankful to have you as my bewitching sidekick and adore that you are the leader of our crusade in this realm!

ALL hail King Aegon the Second! 💚💚

Thank you, Coven Queen!! Thanks for tolerating me lol. And thanks for making our little coven expand an inch. Truly revolutionary stuff we doing over here lol.
