Why was Addam of Hull chosen by Seasmoke in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6? 

Idk why I said Maegor in terms of Vhagar brain fart!

Either Velaryons could always ride dragons but never had access to them, or the intermarriage with the Targaryens gave them then the blood of the dragon

My boy Seasmoke only wants those velaryon riders

If the dragon Rhaena ends up bonding with is Sheepstealer and not still Morning, I will be a little disappointed the one and only cannonically pink dragon will not be making an appearance. The fact that Fire and Blood basically confirmed thatpinks dtagons are a thing in the Song of Ice and Fire universe never fails to amuse me.

Seasmoke really said pranked you bro I am gonna go choose my own ride now.

Seasmoke to Addam: Ride! or Die!

I'm glad you did a video on this because I've been thinking about what happened to Steffon and why. I do think Seasmoke was willing but I think when Steffon said "I did it", that implies control and as you mentioned, Viserys did say, control is an illusion because... "a dragon is not a slave" (Dany). Steffon also sees dragons as Gods, whereas Targs grow up with the idea that they are special, young Rhaenyra S1 said something like people think "we are closer to Gods than men." There's a boldness that comes with the idea that you are born to ride a dragon and that being a Targ makes you special/ chosen. Steffon didn't grow up thinking he could ever mount a dragon and doesn't identify as a Targ. As for Addam, I'm guessing he has Targ blood because Velaryons intermingled a lot with the Targs. He didn't grow up a Targ either but Velaryons were from Valyria so the connection is probably closer and maybe the dragon can sense it? Also as you mentioned, Addam is closer to Leanor's personality. But I'd be interested to see what the show does with the lore in regards to dragon riders. What if the histories lied? Jace said in ep 5 that maybe the Valyrian dragon lords controlled information to "gild them in glory." Would you like that angle? That maybe anyone can ride dragons? I'd personally be sad if that were actually true...

“Why him?” Because George wants him to

Seasmoke said "all Valeryons look the same" im sorry bad joke

I mean like, wow, wonderful grasp of the obvious you have.

Maegor never rode Vhagar. Visenya and Baelon father of Daemon and Viserys did.

I haven't read the books but here is my impression about Laena: - She wants to go back to Driftmark (this is fine) - Saying some toxic wife things "we are meant to do bigger things" whatever that means while Daemon would have started another dynasty with dragon blood abroad. It was not enough for her - During giving birth there was a chance that the child would survive but she did not want to bear the pain of it so she chose a maybe even more painful death: death by fire - Made the creature that loves her the most execute her - Vhagar probably felt the pain of burning alive, she probably knew it and she did not care - She also killed her baby giving it no chance to live I think she matches the personality of a B and someone that Vhagar would like.

Racist dragon

Why? Because George RR Martin said so.

My issue with addem getting claimed is that the valerions arent dragon riders and thats a fact knowing that no rider was valerions until after Rhenese khz she was targarien. So what if alyn is corlys and addem is leanor

DEI

Diversity and inclusion?

My boy Seasmoke got TASTE.
