In 112, bk!Rhaenyra would have been ≤15 & Aemma died when she was ≤8. But in the show, they imply that Aemma was preg w/Rhaenyra during the 101 GC, which should have made ep 1 Rhaenyra ≤ 11, not ≤15 (14) as Condal says we should think it!

21. Alicent's hair net & pregnancy dress of episode 3
22. her red dress later in episode 4, confronting Rhaenyra
23. having Larys kill Harwin & Lyonel -- > makes the most sense out of the speculations for how they died

17. Alicent's scene w/Dyana -- showed, rather than told, the deal with her, her priorities, her relationship w/Aegon, and Aegon's own character in what I thought was very blunt about how Aegon's protection from accountability & Alicent's own hypocrisies

16. the times Alicent stopped Rhaenyra from probably getting the council to take her plans for the Stepstones seriously by pointing out her leaking breasts; comment to Laenor abt his kids looking like him---but not her at council at all (bc it actually doesn't make sense)...when Alicent was herself

15. *the Velaryons--anyone in a high aristocratic position, being Black & being crucial figures to the story and its protagonist (this one's conflicting for me, & for not the reasons people might think)

It's also canon-compliant; the obviousness of Rhaenys' love for her grandkids
13. Rhaenyra shutting Otto down in the selection of guardsmen for her and her father [epi 2]
14. epi 2: the parts where Rhaenyra flies in on Syrax & her confrontation w/Daemon

12. most of episodes 4 & 7: most of Rhaenyra w/Daemon in Flea Bottom & their steamy encounter; all of Alicent & Rhaenyra's confrontation; Alicent & Rhaenyra's fight over their sons' fight; Corlys' support for the V boys, esp Lucerys. It played genuine and seemed like he actually cared for this kid.

10. Rhaenyra killing the boar & the white stag scenes
11. making Baela and Rhaena part of the fight scene where Aemond's confronted after claiming Vhagar

& why HotD makes certain characterizations & storylines.
Sometimes it may be a production/exec thing...sometimes it is not. And if one bothers to actually investigate how HotD tells and chooses to present certain conflicts or motivations & see HOW they change things, you'll see.

I dislike HotD PRIMARILY for its "benevolent" sexist writing, many internal inconsistencies *they* set up independently, AND its frequent use of the "accident" & indecision to drive its plot forward, which minimizes several critical characters' accountability & intelligence.

Why is it when HotD made Baelor *possibly* either cheat on Alyssa or have some hanky-panky after her death (Ulf), people r screaming, crying character assassination...
But the inferior revamps of Rhae & Ali's entire personalities & having *less* ambition have been ok?!

Viserys sincerely loved ALL his grandchildren ("A Question of Succession" below).
He is not a Tywin Lannister (who I must remind people of his dwarf, abused son killed in his shit box), whose daughter slept w/her twin partly to feel more in control of her own body, etc.

Why Viserys "allows" Rhaenyra to continue to have her "illegitimate" children (bk & show). 🧵

I don't really like it when people paint Rhaena (Dreamfyre's rider) as this militant, offspring-eating harpy who tricked her husband into marrying her. Smacks of misogyny and homophobia.

People were going around claiming Laena was less deserving of a dragon-claiming scene than Aemond because she died before the Dance & apparently she & Rhaenyra didn't have a close relationship...meanwhile canonically (bk), yes they did.

I said this on Tumblr already, but a reiteration abt why Dany IS Azor Ahai despite the not very feminist story about Azor Ahai and Nissa-Nissa. 🧵

It's plain fact that Dany herself was CONCIEVED AND CREATED before any of her ancestors were, & they are written as they are in F&B, PatQ, AWoIaF because GRRM wanted to bring some form of heritage and background that provides more meaning & urgency to Dany's present plot.
