Comment on The Blacks & the Greens

  1. NC (Guest) on Chapter 2 Mon 12 Aug 2019 05:59PM UTC

    I can still enjoy things enjoy things even if I disagree with it, especially with how well written this, they whole story about ASOIAF is about the human heart in conflict with itself, Bad people doing good thinks and good people doing back things, internal conflicts about what is right. Both sides both have good arguments for the crown. Generally if I was a Lord in Westeros I would've supported Aerea/Rhaenys over their uncles, and would've supported Rhaenyra over Daemon as that is the law that the Westerosi Lords follow except from the Dornishmen. The Starks were only convinced to join the Blacks after the Pact of Ice and Fire wedding/marriage pact, same as when the Tully's joined the rebellion to coax marriages from the North and the Vale. The Baratheon's joined the greens for a marriage.

    Would you have supported Daemon Blackfyre over Daeron II if Aegon IV named him prince of dragonstone over his elder brother?

      I mean… Daemon Blackfyre was hotter plus his first name is Daemon so… just kidding XD

      Daeron. He was the older son and there were specific laws for that. Even if Daemon had been legitimized he was still younger. Plus Aegon IV never said that Daemon was his heir, the fact that he gave him the sword Blackfyre was what made people think he wanted Daemon to be the next king. But I look forward to knowing more about the issue in F&B 2 (please George write it please).

      Who would you have supported?

        The point I was trying to make was that the eldest son is the heir, no matter if the king arbitrarily decides to change that. Whilst I hold firm that Daeron II is a bastard, born of Aemon and Naerys because of all of the parallels to Robert and Cersei, If he was truly Aegon IV's son then the throne is his, by right. No matter if Aegon tries to strip him of his birth right and name his younger brother Prince of Dragonstone. If Viserys named Aemond or Daeron his heir, I'd still support Aegon because he's the eldest son. I would only follow Daemon if Daeron was a bastard, since he hasn't been legitimised and would be born of a younger brother Daemon would come first.

        Because his bastardy wasn't proven (though GRRM makes it pretty clear) Daeron was legally his eldest son and Daemon would be a usurper if he tried to claim it, same with Rhaenrya imo, she should've let Jacaerys inherit Dragonstone and Lucerys inherit Driftmark. After the Dance, the succession laws only said that a woman can't inherit in the place of a male Targaryen, it didn't explicitly say younger sons can't inherit. That doesn't make Aegon naming Daeron legal or right.

        I'd rather have TWOW over F&B 2, but F&B was a lot better than I expected, loved the reign of Jaehaerys the most in F&B 1. Can't wait for what happened at Summerhall to be revealed, what happened to Aemond's son, Lyonel Baratheon's rebellion and more detail on the Blackfyre rebellions.

        What would you think if Viserys named Aemond (who most people don't like) as his heir? Or his Uncle Vaegon the master if he's still alive. Or one of Saera's sons from Lys? Would you support whoever the King chose?

          XD by all means think whatever you want. Bottom line: There was no law stating that a son would inherit the crown before an older daughter. So you can go on with that logic and still, prior to the Dance, there was no such law. Hence, Rhaenyra could be the heir and was named as such. If you want to believe she couldn't go ahead it doesn't change things so this is just being pointless. I thought you had moved on to a better topic but I guess not.

            I apologise if I've insulted you, it wasn't my attention, I won't mention it again, doesn't really matter anyway since it's an AU, I'll just read the next chapters and continue with the story, I'm on chapter 3 so far and it's going well

              Of course you haven't, but we should just agree to disagree on that one ;) I hope you enjoy the rest of the story NC and thank you for reading.
