Helaena in some green and my take on her crown.

Glad House of the Dragon is continuing the time honored tradition of making sure the dragons are the only good aspect of an otherwise mid adaptation.
I think I’m making this post into a collection of cool dragon gifs so you don’t have to watch the show to see the cool dragons.
I would prefer if these creators just made a dragon documentary instead.
Just play dove hours of this sort of thing and call it a day. It’s a silver dragon with pink wings killing people what else could I possibly need. Royal family drama is irrelevant look at that dragon.
Oh lawd she coming. Look at that unit.
And we can’t forget the originals of course.

the way some of the fandom place so much weight on traditional attractiveness is insane to me like what books did you read….. people getting legit angry that the hotd actors are “too ugly” to play targs, people saying tyrion is too ugly to ride a dragon, people arguing over which pubescent girl is the prettiest like my god. I’ll be over here obsessively drawing myles’ receding hairline and bigass fucking nose leave me out of that
sorry to keep harping on this but idk it’s just such a misreading of asoiaf it blows my mind, like even besides the way these books do so much to deconstruct the idea “beauty = goodness / ugly = badness” with specific characters…… like even besides that you can just see grrm’s fondness and emphasis on finding love and beauty in the mundane and imperfect, like love in asoiaf is catelyn building a deep and solid relationship with the solemn plain-faced second son she wasn’t supposed to marry, it’s jon snow blushing when ygritte laughs with her crooked teeth and eyes that are too far apart, it’s davos trying to imagine the most beautiful woman in the world and only being able to think of his aging wife with her sagging breasts, it’s joncon mourning myles’ big nose and jug ears and how they were as much a part of him as his warmth….. it’s an important part of asoiaf to me and I find it so much more meaningful than trying to prove my fave is the prettiest
