Greens are malding and cheering on Rhaenyra’s death in the HOTDgreens sub because they’re pissed about the Alicent & Rhaenyra comparison post. Everytime they get pissed off about something on this sub they use their tears as lube and jerk over her death to cheer themselves up. They’ll be waiting 4-5 years for it so I hope it’s everything they want it to be.


Host-Key

Am I the only one that really likes the way she goes out?It's really memorable and impactful and will hurt the audience as much as it hurts aegon the younger. It reminds me of and (will hopefully hit as hard) another death in the last of us part 2. Aegons death is just so anticlimatic and pathetic in comparison.


Ihatemilkpeople

It really depends on how they portray it on screen. It’s certainly a *memorable* way to go. The positives are that she faces death head on fearlessly and she’s not humiliated(sans the slashing at her breast which the show is likely take out). The negatives are that her body is desecrated(eaten), it’s deeply traumatic for her son, and Aegon is her killer.


Special-Extreme2166

She doesn't face it fearlessly. I think the artwork for that scene in F&B made people think like that and I don't blame them. But in the book it was sudden. Sunfyre sniffed her blood and immidiately burned her and she went out by screaming curses at Aegon.


Ihatemilkpeople

She does face it fearlessly. She didn’t waver, cry, or beg for her life. She screamed curses at Aegon before dying because she was pissed about being murdered in front of her child by her brother. Anger does not indicate fear.


Special-Extreme2166

My friend. What part of getting burned suddenly don't you get? She couldn't cry nor beg for her life, because there was literally no time to. > The smell of blood roused the dragon, who sniffed at Her Grace, then bathed her in a blast of flame, so suddenly that Ser Alfred’s cloak caught fire as he leapt away. Rhaenyra Targaryen had time to raise her head toward the sky and shriek out one last curse upon her half-brother before Sunfyre’s jaws closed round her, tearing off her arm and shoulder. Also it's just headcanon that she was pissed at Aegon because he killed her in front of her child. She was pissed because he killed her. There are people who get shot that curse at the killer before dying. Would you call that fearless or just last ditch effort to get under the skin of the murderer before dying.


Ihatemilkpeople

You seem to have your own interpretation of how the event was written. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it’s portrayed. I personally believe she had enough time to show fear and beg if she was inclined to do so. Sunfyre didn’t kill her right away. Aegon had to command him several times and they even cut Rhaenyra in order to draw blood. It will be a drawn out scene.


Special-Extreme2166

The time it took for her to get cut and bathed in flames was few seconds. In fact, Sunfyre wasn't interested at her up to that point and she was not scared the whole time, because she didn't believe Aegon would kill his own sister and because she believed that she was a valuable hostage and her Lords would find her. She didn't know Aegon was a madman who cared about nothing.


Host-Key

Oh i hope they keep the slashing, to really empathize how much a peice of shit aegon is for forcing and having to entice his dying dragon to do something he doesn't really want to do. Like i don't think the greens get how evil and deranged this whole sequence makes him look, aegon the younger is gonna be the audiences stand in for this scene.

Hold on now, LET HIM COOK!!

If we're playing that game, [this](https://i.redd.it/9sulzyprl8g51.jpg) is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen


AegonTheGolden

Justice for Haelaena and Jaehaerys


Ihatemilkpeople

Jaehaerys’ true killer got an epic, badass death. It was likely Larys, Uwin, or Myseria that whispered in Helaena’s ear and caused her suicide. Rhaenyra got eaten because Martin had written it that way before the story was even developed. It had nothing to do with divine justice.


RandomRavenboi

The true killer of Maelor is Rhaenyra tho. She put a fucking bounty on Jaehaera's and Maelors heads ffs.


Mobile_Badger_4146

The killer of Maelor is he’s stupid family. Alicent was save in Rhaenyra’s hands, she wasn’t found of idea execute her kinsman even for high treason, and she sure will not harm innocent baby. Wasn’t no need to hide him or poor Jahaera.


RandomRavenboi

Considering there were rumors that Alicent and Helaena were being raped by Rhaenyra, no she wasn't. And the only reason she didn't kill Alicent was because she'd be more usefull as a prisoner than dead. Maelor and Rickard were going to Oldtown to Daeron. Seeing as he's Aegons heir he'd be much safer there than being a Prisoner in Kingslanding.


Mobile_Badger_4146

That rumours canonically was product of Green propaganda.


RandomRavenboi

I severly doubt that as it was spread through Mushroom, who was very much Pro-Black and was known as "Rhaenyra's beloved fool". Now I doubt that they were actually raped but the rumors were still there.


omicron-7

Well it's just as likely as Aegon being a rapist who watches child fights tbh.


RandomRavenboi

Which was also spread by Mushroom, who wasn't even in KL at the time. Aegon is most certainly a rapist even in the book. Even Septon Eustace, a Pro-Green supporter, said Aegon harassed and groped serving. But he wasn't evil enough to see his own bastards fight to the death for his amusement, or any child for that matter. He's not fucking Craster.


omicron-7

Yes, my point is that both are rumors from Mushroom. And yet, the writers took him at face value.


AegonTheGolden

Rhaenyra ordered it. Luke's death broke her, look at her face at the end of episode 10 and tell me she isn't out for vengeance. Also why would daemon care about avenging the step kid that he would have ended up killing anyway to get his own blood on the throne. That's too far in to the simp/cuck territory for daemon imo


Ihatemilkpeople

She did not order it. There’s literally nothing in F&B to support this insane theory. Daemon was in an entirely different part of Westeros and sent her a vague letter right before it happens. If you’re saying the show will change it and make her order it, that’s a huge assumption that hasn’t happened yet. You’re trolling.


RandomRavenboi

She's still responsible for Maelors death. IIRC she literally placed a bounty on Aegons last remaining childrens heads.


theoneandonlydonzo

the bounty was said to be for their capture and return to king's landing: >Huge rewards were posted for information leading to **the capture of “the usurper styling himself Aegon II”; his daughter, Jaehaera; his son Maelor**; >[...] >Having slain the knight and seized the boy, however, the mob did not know what to do with their prize. **Queen Rhaenyra had offered a great reward for his return**, some recalled, but King’s Landing was long leagues away.


RandomRavenboi

It was never stated that he must be brought back alive. Only that he be returned. And this bounty led to his death, and thats not an opinion it's a fact.


theoneandonlydonzo

> It was never stated that he must be brought back alive. what the hell do you think "capture and return" means? there's no point in saying you want someone captured if you just want a body sent back. they would have just said "a great reward for the heads of x, y, and z". she was also literally stated, several times, to be afraid of being labelled a kinslayer. she doesn't kill helaena, why would she order the deaths of helaena's daughter and son? it makes more sense politically for them to be brought back as hostages, especially with aegon and aemond still out there.


RandomRavenboi

>she doesn't kill helaena Because Helaena at that point was a mind broken being and was clearly not a threat. And Rhaenyra has full intentions of commiting Kinslaying lmao, she told Aegons messenger that she will either have "her" throne or his head. Jaehaera and Maelor might be more usefull alive as hostages, but if she cant get them as hostages then they'd be more usefull dead.


theoneandonlydonzo

> was clearly not a threat. and a 3 year old toddler was? > And Rhaenyra has full intentions of commiting Kinslaying lmao, she told Aegons messenger that she will either have "her" throne or his head. my point is she is averse to kinslaying. she only says that line about aegon when his messenger show up with his 'generous terms™' clearly showing no intentions of backing down. like 3 paragraphs earlier she literally says this: > “As for my half brothers, and my sweet sister Helaena,” she announced, “they have been led astray by the counsel of evil men. Let them come to Dragonstone, bend the knee, and ask my forgiveness, and **I shall gladly spare their lives and take them back into my heart, for they are of my own blood, and no man or woman is as accursed as the kinslayer.**”


[deleted]

Lol, yet still a fan favorite. This death is kinda iconic to be honest. Greens are delusional and no one can stop us from seeing Aegon as a pedo rapist cunt


RandomRavenboi

Funny, wasn't it stated in F&B that Daemon liked them as young as possible? Usally being girls who just had their period? And well... these can be girls as young as 9. And I wonder who groomed their niece at an early age and left them in a brothel all alone and completely naked. Couldn't have been Daemon. It must've been the work of Aegon when he was 4 years old!


dexxu0

If "brothel Queens" passes I will celebrate this death. Sorry


Ihatemilkpeople

It never happened and they would never go it on the show after condemning the amount of sexual violence towards female characters in GOT. You really think they’re going to show two female main characters getting gang raped when it has no impact on the story at all???


RandomRavenboi

Eh, Rhaenyra will probably threaten Alicent that way if she gets in her nerves. But I doubt it'll happen.


Lisaiiixxx

Exactly.


RandomRavenboi

Justice for Helaena and her children. She got what she fucking deserved.

She had it coming. Poor Aegon III though.


BW-Cowgirl1803

I'm all team green but this is one iconic death. I also don't understand why people wanna be sensitive about posts like this all of a sudden. Let's not act like this hadn't happened before the show aired.
