House of the Dragon
Date: 2024-07-31 09:39 am (UTC)Media: TV Series (based on the book Fire & Blood)
Approx length: 2 seasons of ~1h long episodes = 18h
Where to find it: HBO
Summary: An inheritance dispute within a dysfunctional royal family leads to civil war.
Loves: The family dynamics here are so interestingly crafted, even though 80% of the time they're beyond unhealthy. There's just enough intricate world-building and parallels between the cool scenes of dragons and battles for everyone to enjoy it. At the same time it's also the type of canon that makes you sigh endlessly about what could have been. It's a train-wreck of a grand tragedy (in a painfully good way).
Requests:
Aegon II Targaryen/Aemond "One-Eye" Targaryen
I love these doomed destructive brothers who are each horrible so horrible and yet somehow sympathetic in their own way. Terrible Targaryen-Hightower family dynamics and vicious cycles of intergenerational trauma... How their fraternal relationship is twisted both by their family's incestuous custom, their human desires for love, and their believed birthright as dragon-riding royals. Their specific dynamic also changes throughout the story, so there are so many fun points to set a story in (or take it through them all)!
Alicent Hightower/Rhaenyra Targaeyen
The (friendship?) breakup that broke the realm in two </3 The entire show is arguably centered around their relationship and the consequences of its deterioration. The angst! The drama! The what-could-have-beens! Will either of them ever regret the choices which led them down the path to civil war and tragedy?
