Era isso que tava faltando aparecer na Casa do Dragão, uma feiticeira misteriosa com aura de liderança, ou melhor dizendo: uma coruja amaldiçoada a viver como mulher. 🦉
"Oh, oh, the agony! Once more the dreadful throes of true prophecy whirl and distract me with their ill-boding onset. Do you see them there-sitting before the house-young creatures like phantoms of dreams? Children, they seem, slaughtered by their own kindred, ...Such boldness has she, a woman to slay a man. What odious monster shall I fitly call her? An Amphisbaena note? Or a Scylla, tenanting the rocks, a pest to mariners, a raging, devil's mother, breathing relentless war against her husband? And how the all-daring woman raised a shout of triumph, as when the battle turns, the while she feigned to joy at his safe return! And yet, it is all one, whether or not I am believed. What does it matter? What is to come, will come. And soon you, yourself present here, shall with great pity pronounce me all too true a prophetess." by Cassandra.Aeschylus, Agamemnon. Fits eerily well for Helaena and Rhaenyra to an extent. Phia Saban (Helaena's actor) said in Den of Geek, May 22 2024: "She's got this like Cassandra-like aspect to her. The curse is that no one will ever believe her." Cassandra of Troy 🤝 Helaena Targaryen : *quoting Thanos* : You're not the only one cursed with knowledge. Both are born princesses, bestowed the gift of prophecy since an early age, yet deemed a mad woman (pun intended) where unfortunately nobody would listen to the seers' warning prophecies, eventually locked away by force and in their grief as they witnissed their family and kingdom's destruction. Cassandra was forced into slavery as a concubine while Helaena was forced into marriage which is pretty much the same. Even her older sister Rhaenyra mentioned it, "For men marriage might be a political arrangement. For women it is like to be a death sentence." Cassandra had twins Telemadus and Pelops while Heleana gave birth to Jaehaerys and Jaehaera. Sadly both royals each had 2 children murdered while young. Both suffered tragic demises, but here their similarities end as Cassandra was murdered while Helaena took matters into her own hand and comitted suicide. Rare cases when death is more of a mercy than a punishment. Fellow bookworm, GoT fan and Swiftie approves of this crossover 100%! Well done! If I were you, I would make a Castles Crumbling music video featuring Rhaenyra when Season 3 unfolds as she abdicates not long after her hard-fought and pyrrhic reign, esp. with Swift's lyrics 🎵My foes and friends watch my reign end. I don't know how it could've ended this way. Smoke billows from my ships in the harbor. People look at me like I'm a monster. Now they're screaming at the palace front gates, used to chant my name, now they're screaming that they hate me. Never wanted you to hate me 🎵 Ps: Remember when the bard was singing to Rhaenyra in Season 1 Ep. 2 about Nymeria fleeing with her 10,000 ships, the lyrics, ♪ She fled with her ships and her people, her heart broken for those who had died through the flames under the dragon's eye ♪ are an eerie forshadowing of the tragedy yet to come and the irony of how House Targaryen immolated itseld on a pyre in the name of legacy. It's really like poetry, they all rhyme! Helaena and Aliecent as flashback young Gamora and Thanos meme template: *in the afterlife* Heleana: Did you do it? Alicent: Yes. Helaena: What did it cost? Alicent: Everything 💔
@@thorn.fieldnsta I read the short story The Princess and the Queen and she does get mentioned in that. SO I'm guessing that's what gonna happen to her. *HOWEVER* I don't see her and Daemon as a thing. Gross.
right in the feels and the quality of this was amazing crisp. by far the best of season 2 so far. Rheanys going out as dignified as she lived. Angos Melys. Rheanys will not run
