“Some truths are hard to hear. Robert was a … a good knight … chivalrous, brave … he spared my life, and the lives of many others … Prince Viserys was only a boy, it would have been years before he was fit to rule, and … forgive me, my queen, but you asked for truth … even as a child, your brother Viserys oft seemed to be his father’s son, in ways that Rhaegar never did.” [A Storm of Swords. Daenerys VI]
Visenya was as much a warrior as Aegon himself, as comfortable in ringmail as in silk. She carried the Valyrian longsword Dark Sister, and was skilled in its use, having trained beside her brother since childhood.
Rhaegar Targaryen died with a whole year’s worth of tax revenue on his breastplate and the costume department of GoT is out here tryna convince me that Rhaegar would wear a potato sack to his wedding. Get outta here
We waited 7 years to see Rhaegar, the most beautiful man in Westeros, and they gave him the Viserys Party City wig instead of the Legolas Lacefront. Disrespectful.
I like how everyone fancast Rhaegar as this beautiful tall strong Medieval Fabio with long flowing blonde hair but instead he just looked like Viserys 2.0
i’ve never seen a fancast for rhaegar that i’ve been happy with but that’s probably because when i think of rhaegar i literally just picture an anime character among regular westerosi people
