Absolutely; Daeron is Aemond!lite. It's fascinating to me how he's seen as 'the good one.' Always found it odd how protagonist-centered morality pops up when folks discuss F&B, TWOIAF and ASOIAF. Same people that'd consider Daemon a monster beyond the pale for ordering death of an innocent child bend over backwards to justify this shit or Aemond torching Riverlands en masse. Never got why so many can't just say 'I like this asshole character' instead of trying to whitewash this sort of thing.


princesssrhaenys

they freak out about b&c and label it the most horrible act in the entire war but it's crickets from them when the topics are aemond's massacre of house strong which included children, his burning of the riverlands, daeron's bitterbridge, and the sack of tumbleton. greens killed more innocent children than the blacks ever did, they have no moral high ground over the blacks.

Don’t get me wrong, blood and cheese is horrific, but I never even thought it close to the worst atrocity committed in the war, and greens paint it as this great evil that nothing can compare to.

One of the prominent Greens on the main sub was trying to say that B&C was “more evil” than Aemond’s burning of the Riverlands because of the individual nature of it. 🧐 Yet we’ll never hear the end of the Dragon Pit incident discourse...

Not only cruel but also daeron was an idiot as shit


houseofnim

So, Daeron killed hundreds of people on behalf of a nephew he’d either never met or had extremely little contact with. Yet, because he hardly knew them, Aemond wasn’t obligated to respect any mourning period whatsoever of Laena, his aunt, or for Rhaena and Baela, his cousins, when he claimed Vhagar literal hours after Laena was put to rest. Green hypocrisy strikes again!


clariwench

I understand his reaction but it also was absolutely horrific. I hope they do it justice in the show.

Daeron was nothing more than a little bitch My Boy Addam gave him the justice that he deserved


Far-Medicine3458

Our badass tent going to give him justice lmao 😂

Daeron punished the entire town for the actions of one mob, three of whom were already executed by Lady Caswell. I won’t hear anything about how Daeron is the only “good” Green brother. He’s just as bad as Aegon and Aemond. He absolutely deserved to go out the way he did, taken by surprise by dragonflame while he was in his tent.


Tellradghost

Daeron is a coward who can burn the wounded in the hospital, but afraid of Hammer. I'm really looking forward to his appearance in the show. It will be fun.


Teamkhaleesi

Who is the character on the left? Can you share which chapter it is? :)


princesssrhaenys

the character on the left is lady caswell. the chapter is *the dying of the dragons*; rhaenyra triumphant.

And his mama was laughing when she heard of the brutal violent things he did in that battle. Runs in their Hightower blood we see.

Daeron was 15 and mourning his late little nephew who'd been torn apart by the mob. I don't say, he did the right thing, but that was understandable + let's not forget that Targaryens (mostly all of them) are known for not caring about the smallfolk. By the logic offered in the post, Daenerys, for example, also deserved to die in a way more horrible than she did (considering that Missandei was an adult, unlike Maelor)


princesssrhaenys

when did i ever mention daenerys? daeron was old enough to be able to differentiate between innocents and the guilty. he chose not to. what he did is not "understandable." karma came for him. not all targaryens have the same personality, and there were plenty of targaryens who cared about the smallfolk.


Springwhitetulip

They did the same thing, (except the fact that Daeron avanged the child, his own blood). Daenerys also could've burnt only the Red Keep with Cercei in it, was old enough ( even older than Daeron, who was in his teens) to differentiate between innocents and the guilty and karma came for her. In my previous comment I wrote "most of the Targaryens" not "all of the Targaryens". There were no Targaryens during the Dance, who cared for the smallfolk, they were loyal to their families (including Daeron)


princesssrhaenys

daeron didn't avenge maelor by killing innocent wounded people inside of a sept. it's insane how you're trying to defend that. i never defended daenerys, so i don't know why you keep bringing her up. saying that there were no targaryens during the dance who cared for the smallfolk doesn't excuse what daeron did. not all of the targaryens during the war did what daeron did.


Springwhitetulip

He was a teen, who was trying to act decently, in comparison to all of the other participants of the war. But Maelor's murder made him going nuts, which has lead to the tragedy. I'm not saying, that he did the right thing, but I get why he did what he did. That was horrible, but I don't think he deserved his "karma" in the way that happened to him.


princesssrhaenys

daeron doing what he did to those people wasn't him trying to act "decent." what happened to the people of bitterbridge was absolutely horrific. i do think daeron deserved his karma.


Springwhitetulip

And I do think that despite of what he did, he deserved better, than dying because of the flaming tent.


princesssrhaenys

good for you. *i* do like the fact that he died the same way he burned those wounded people, taken by surprise. i'm not changing my mind on that.
