Dana Terrace has said before that the Clawthorns have a thing for birds, and this is proven true in the show. Every member of the family has a bird palisman-
Now we have seen background palisman who are birds (such as bell goose) but weve never see another witch with a bird palisman until Flapjack chose Hunter.
We know Flapjack had an owner before, and everyones certain its the Wittebro, wouldnt it be weird if birds were a Clawthorne thing but Wittebro was the one exception.
Dell is most likely the orginal holder of the Clawthorne name. I say this cause Gwen says that the Clawthornes are known for their Palisman carving skills and Dell had that role. That being said, look at their side profiles together,
The bridge of the nose and how their hair flows backwards especially sick out here, their far from identical but they definitely look like they could be related.
I think its especially noticeable when you compare hunter to young Dell.
With his hair up you can see the how similar their hair falls.
Okay so this is the biggest piece of evidence is the portraits within Belos' mind, and how they seem to tell the story of how Philip killed his brother after he fell in love with a witch. This post pretty well interprets them as such.
But look at the witch in the portraits,
That first one really looks like young Eda from Echos of the Past.
Thats signature Clawthorne poof hair right there.
The Clawthornes are known for their Palisman carving skills.
And what does one of the portraits show Wittebro doing?
Carving.
Its never stated that you need magic to carve palisman, Hunter doesnt need magic to have one and Eda never says anything about it when she brings the palistrom wood to Luz.
It would be the only skill he could use to in the demon realm to gain a living without magic.
When Eda runs out to the back of the estate she finds these ruins aswell as the damaged portal door.
Going back to the portraits, in the presumably last stand between the brothers we can see that wherever they are, its on fire.
This could be an explanation for the ruins, if this is the old Clawthorne estate then Philip destroyed it.
It would also explain why the portal door was there, if Philip didn't have it of course his brother would. And if his brother knew about his plans to exterminate this place he could bury it to hide it, hence Eda finding it in the dirt.
Well it looks like that witch cursed Philip with something and that Eda's family is way more involved with this that previously thought.
It also means Hunter, on some level, is canonically related to Eda in some way.
Team black stans be like:
Nyra's bloodline continued, the nasty usurpers all died out like they deserved! Our Queen's legacy lived on, WE are the true winners!
When by the end of the dance all the blacks have left is one very traumatized boy king that lost everyone he loved in the span of two years and is terrified of his own house's symbol.
Don't get me wrong, I love Aegon III, he and Vizzy II are actually my favourite targ kings (which is quite ironic knowing how much I dislike their parents)
but seeing how all major targ team black members were massacred by the end of the war (Rhaenyra, Rhaenys, Daemon, the strong Boys, Nettles who just vanishes, and all their dragons dead) you have to be kinda delusional to look at all that devastation and go:
The whole point of this conflict is to showcase how destructive and useless these type of wars are, but apparently all the blacks care about is the fact that the kid who sat the iron throne at the end of it was Nyra's son.
I'm thinking of the incredibly vital role Rhaenyra was given after her mother died, becoming the first ever female heir to the iron throne.
How revolutionary this was, and what an opportunity it presented for all women in Westeros (outside of Dorne).
How the sexist society she lived in was less than pleased of this title and how happy it would have been to strip her of it. And how easy Rhaenyra made it for them to do so.
She knew the importance of the title she bore, she knew that every noble man in the continent would look for anything to discredit her because of mysogyny, she knew that how she behaved would determine whether or not women would ever be considered capable of taking the weight of the crown and rule.
And she completely fumbled the bag by:
Being extremely rude and bratty to all of her suitors, refusing her arranged marriage, obviously cheating of her husband and claiming her bastards were true born, murdering said husband so she could marry her uncle (who has a terrible reputation) days after his own wife's death.
What was she thinking?
Didn't she even bother to wonder what the realm would think of her unlawful actions?
She literally proved the sexist society right, by being the most scandalous princess she could be, and that only solidified in the minds of everyone in Westeros that if you put a woman in a position of power she's gonna abuse it to do whatever she wants.
The girlboss black queen is the reason why no other Targaryen woman ever sat the iron throne after her, as her scandals and treachery turned the population against the mere though of a female ruler, in fear of having a new "Maegor with teats".
This fandom's romanticization of abusive relationships will never not infuriate me.
It's quite ironic when you think about it. People here always claim to be hardcore feminists who want Rhaenyra on the throne cause fuck the patriarchy, but at the same time they cheer her relationship with Daemon who groomed her since she was little, took her to a brothel when she was still a teenager and aimed to ruin her reputation to marry her and claim the iron throne through her. Like you can't tell me he didn't do it out of spite cause Viserys named her heir, and that was the only way he could get the power he always wanted. All of this is not even the worst part, since he physically abuses her and neglects her after a miscarriage.
The fandom also loves Viserys/Aemma, as if he didn't sleep with her when she was thirteen, got her pregnant repeatedly, ruining her health in the process, and finally butchered her like a lamb at the slaughter for a son.
Lmao honestly I get that a lot of ships in hotd are problematic, and it's super hard to find something pure and sweet, but the fandom really chose to stan the worst of the worst wtf
You know one of the things that saddens me the most about the dance (other than the deaths of my faves and it's general outcome) Is the extinction of dragons.
There were such majestic creatures and it really hurts to see them die out like that. But I then I start thinking about how the future would have turned out with dragons still alive and...
Aerys II with a dragon?
The battle of the Trident but Rhaegar has a dragon? (Actually, since he descends from a Targaryen princess, Bobby B could also have a dragon if he managed to claim one and that's equally terrifying.)
Actually, with dragons on their side the Mad King would have won the war 100% and basically all of our faves would have died or never been born.
The blackfyre rebellions but both sides have dragons? Shit, that'd be a second dance.
Aegon IV with a dragon? ( No wait nevermind , he'd be too fat to get on it anyway)
Suddenly I'm so glad these Targs never had the chance to get their nasty hands on them.
Sorry Morning, but I'm kind of glad you were the last one.
EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS TIK TOK AND SHARE IT BC THESE SO CALLED FANS ARE BEING FUCKING RIDICULOUS
Ahhhh this is beautiful! My day is made <3
Please can an artist draw Criston wearing the
"I'm not a step-dad I'm the dad who stepped up"
T-shirt cause that would literally make my day.
Aegon punishing Blood PERSONALLY
Erementals: I dislike AoT no Requiem because the idea of creating an alternate fan ending to someone else’s story simply because you were disappointed with how the actual conclusion was handled is extremely disrespectful to the original artist and their creative vision.
Also Erementals:
Just admit you only defend the ending because Isayama confirmed Eremika was canon at the last second and you despise Requiem because you’re salty that the most well known and popular fan fiction in the entire fandom at the moment focuses on Erehisu instead of your precious OTP, you absolute fucking hypocrites.
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
