Yeah, okay, HOTD season 3 premiere got me FED with new photos.

these two character, like many of tg\tb characters, are meant to mirror each other (aegon\rhaenyra, daeron\jace, mysaria\larys, otto\corlys). they literally have the same name & play the same role for their teams - they are dangerous, unexpected, violent and the biggest threats to the other team. and while both are def horrible people & committed many war crimes, daemon will always be worse imo.

in the book, he plans b&c (fuck hotd version)

he likes "deflowering maidens"

is gross with teenage rhaenyra

has a relationship with 16yo nettles while he's in his 50's

daemon seems to have a very disturbing pattern of abusing the young and helpless. it's disgusting.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, a book written by an author who got imprisoned for sodomy, is getting a visual adaptation where the two characters with clear homoromantic undertones are turned into brothers.

Dracula, a book about a group of friends that explore the themes of antagonism and Victorian anxieties, is getting a visual adaptation where the count falls in love with one of his rape victims.

Wuthering Heights, a book that beats the reader over the head with a bat about how the POC protagonist wants to be privileged and white, is getting a visual adaptation with a white person as the protagonist and a POC as the one he envies.

The Odyssey, a book about a man from Ancient Greece trying to get home from war, is getting a visual adaptation coated in a "Hollywood" aesthetic that rejects accurate armour and casting.

That man was ready to DIE for honor over a man he met like 3 days before.

- His cousin betrayed Dunk, he WITHOUT A SINGLE SECOND OF HESITATION, said “tap me in”. MIND YOU HE WAS A SQUIRE

- Fought without an armour

- Stayed mounted for the majority of the trial

- Beat Aerion’s ass from the horse AND his cousin’s for good measure.

- Left the trial UNSCATHED. AND he even helped Dunk off the field.

This man is a fucking MONSTER in the best way possible. Green apples for the win🍏🙌🏾
