Ohoh we're going full blown Lady of the Lake here. Woohoo
Dearest Ninianne / Ninienne / Nimue / Vivianne, make way for Mommicent.
All the tears on you can't make up for your woe's sum.
HOW DOES ANYONE EXPECT ME TO STAY STRAIGHT AFTER THIS?
on god, he may have had zero PREPARATION but he was smart like if they did as he said they would have already won the fucking war like listen to the guy I know he's shit but he's smart your ment to listen to your king not undermind him the only dumb thing he did was replace otto as hand because otto would have agreed with every one of his takes like I need daeron to be trying to push for aegons ideas I really do I need a smart duo
Let's see, Aegon was right about...
1. Considering smallfolk
2. Securing Harrenhal before Daemon builds an army
3. Securing Grover Tully's support after Lucerys' death
4. Burning Gullet's blocade sooner
5. Wanting a dragon to accompany Criston and Gwayne (they could've killed Moondancer and captured Baela)
And STILL many people are saying he was a dumb king! Even with him not recieving any preparation, his ideas would've eliminated the biggest problems that the Greens are facing now.

Very well said, this whole blood purity thing is getting out of hand
why you always pretend to not understand what people are telling you in order to flip everything to your liking? 😭 Viserys has valyrian blood because he is a targaryen, and the only two other house with the same blood is velaryon and celtigar. Alicent's blood descended from the Andals, which is shared with most of the houses of Westeros apart from those three exceptions mentioned. The Valarian minority makes their blood more valuable. If alicent had she been to Valyria, thw situation would have been the same (her having andal blood wound have made her more valuable since she would have been surrounded by valyrian blood). So yes, alicent’s blood is not comparable as viserys as it show in hotd intro, and this isn't necessarily a bad thing like you interpreted
visenya Targaryen married maegor to a hightower. the hightowers are an old and respected house, that has married into the royal family prior to viserys and alicent's marrige.
F&B about the marriage :
"The Hightowers of Oldtown were an ancient and noble family, of impeccable lineage; there could be no possible objection to the king’s choice of bride."
"there could be no possible objection to the king's choice of bride".
prince aemon - jaehaerys's heir, married a baratheon. rhaenys is also half valyrian. but i don't see anyone talking about that.
you only care that alicent married viserys because you hate her. you only care about the targtowers being half targs because you hate them.
viserys originally planned to marry rhaenyra to a lannister. a non-valyrian. the idea that targs only marry valyrians is ridicules and so out of touch with show and book canon.
no anon, i'm not flipping anything to my liking. you sent me that bs post, didn't get the response you wanted and got mad. sorry, i'm just not into the whole "valyrian blood is superior" thing.
GUYS LOOK I'M A GENIUS
When someone judges Helaena because she chose a son to be killed, remember that B&C threatened her and her daughter with being raped and that they would torture her children.
A mother doesn't want her children to die, they gave Helaena the feeling that she could choose, but they hurt her anyway.
The princess is one of the victims here
