If he did casual viewers wouldn’t have struggled to tell him apart from Jace lmao

I can’t picture viserys ever doing that. Especially with how much he favors Rae

I feel like we didn't discuss how this changes Rhaenyra and her sons relationship with Viserys. I feel like after this she might not trust Viserys, she can still remember that Viserys ordered a knife be taken to her mother. I feel like this would reopen old wounds.

The frequency and quality of your videos is extremely admirable and i pray more people flock to them in the coming months

What if Viserys married Laena? What if Rhaena beat Aemond to claiming Vhagar after Laena’s death?

cool concept but even if Viserys chose to punish Luke I don’t think he would go this far, the harshest thing he would do is maybe having Luke lashed

It makes no sense for your page to not be big! I’m obsessed with your videos, especially the what ifs. Thank you for these! 🫶🏾🎉

I can't get rid of the picture of Luke having a ruby in his missing eye, contrasting Amond that way too.

I just want to point out that none of Alicent's children recieved cradle eggs actually. Otherwise if they did she wouldn't be making comments about the Strong boys' eggs

I don't think Rhaeynra would forgive Alicent outside surface politeness, because there is a difference between children fighting and one got maimed because things went too far and forcing a mother to watch an adult intentionally maiming their child. A mother does not forgive that! Rhaeynra would have gotten the message that her position and children were not safe no matter what. And Alicent would have known that and gotten that any war between the Blacks and Greens was going to go hot the second Viserys died no matter who was officially heir and it would have been her fault for demanding Luc's eye and not teaching Aemond consequences as yes he had a right to claim, but his timing smacked of spoilt brat. If he had done so on any other night he might have not lost an eye. Luc losing an eye in this manner would cause the war to got hot earlier because it will no longer be about the crown it will be two mothers fighting for their family's survival (not just Alicent thinking that way) because the Blacks and the Greens know that each side will wipe them off the board.

What if Aemond died in Driftmark part 2 Waht if Viserys and Alicent have only daughters

Dude!! your what-if HotD videos are awesome!. I binged 3-4 of them in one sitting, I had to restraint myself from watching more so I still have some left for the next day.

It would save Aemond from one of his most character marring actions.

If he had 1 eye, he'd definitely become the pirate lord of driftmark

What if Rhaenyra died of the cut Alicent gave her on Driftmark (like an infection). Is Jace capable of leading the black faction at his age? If not, who'd take up the mantle? And what punishment would Alicent face in this situation? these are only a few questions I have for this scenario, I'm sure you can think up a whole lot more. Thank you for the video.

So I don’t see this ever happening because, They aren’t at the red keep they are in Driftmark Corlys’s domain and Luke is his heir’s heir. Trying to take Luke’s eye could start war. Great Video.

What if Viserys only have daughters with Alicent? What if Lucerys lost his eye *instead* of Aemond? What if Viserys had Aegon II married Rhaenyra *After* Laenor’s death? What if Rhaenyra was like Jaehaerys The Conciliator? What if Rhaenyra Targaryen married Borros Baratheon? What if Viserys-I made Rhaenys Hand Of The King after Otto’s dismissed/Lyonel’s death? What if Viserys-I made Daemon Hand Of The King after Otto’s dismissed/Lyonel’s death? What if Aegon-III lived longer and made his Daughter Daena hair after the death of his sons?

I love this so much I need a part 2 ❤❤❤

It would be so great in this timeline if Luke put a ruby in his empty eye socket to parallel Aemond’s Sapphire in his.

Can you do a video about what if aemond DID kill Jace or luke in the cave scene? Like what if Luke missed with the knife or aemond used the rock before luke could attack him

Please make a part two to this video

This what if would be way better if Luce claimed vermithor

What if the mad king burned king's landing

Fire video! I thought a lot of the same

What if the dragons live

Please do a part 2 of this video but if Alicent took Lucerys's eye against Viserys's wishes like she tried to.

Luke loosing his eye could prevent the dance like u said the scene on stormend would change drastically their is one flaw however with ur what if. King V would never hurt or punish his favorite side of the family. If Aemond took Luke eye out however I feel king v would make a punishment towards Aemond. King v is nothing but consistent with defending Rt n her kids.

I wonder what would've happened if Aemond either survived or killed Daemon. Would he have become king or would he be in line for the throne after Aegon and Viserys (Rhaenyra's sons)?

2:10 to be fair the old king only allowed a select few to own dragons and those who died had their dragons passed on to those of extremely close relation like father to son or aunt to niece or uncle to nephew. All the dragons are passed on once its agreed the ypung Targaryen is ready unless they had a hatchling. Also the Dragons stand as a symbol of whom they are riding Vhagar historically with the exception of Laena in the show has always claimed warriors as her rider Visenya Prince Baelon and Aemond all have those characteristics. I did think it was unfair for Aemond to slink in and claim Vhagar in the show but it is what it is and no one can criticize his bravery

One question. Would Jace not stand in for his brother when it comes time to lose the eye?

Can you do a video what if Rhaenyra Targaryen had a twin brother?

What if daemon and caraxes lived

Here’s an interesting what if it’s not house of the dragon, but game of thrones. What if Tywin betrothed Jamie Lannister to Lyanna Stark?

When part 2 with Maegor the bronze dragon.

What if viserys and aemma had more daughters. What if Princess alyssa didn't didn't die. What if Princess visenya lived.

make a what if Aegon V didn't die in The Tragedy of summerhall, and had managed to hatch dragon eggs, let's say 3 dragon eggs to make it interesting, how would that change history from that point o,n with no one dying in summerhall and dragons returning to the world?

What if Visenya Dies instead of Rhaenys

So before watching the video, I thought this what if was going to talk about what if Lucerys losing his eye instead of Aemond? Key word being *instead* here. Wondering what Rhaenyra would do if she was in Alicent place, if Aemond cut Lucerys eye out and how she would’ve done? That be interesting but no, it’s not about that scenario. As for the video itself, it’s fine I guess? Lucerys living in the dance might change things? If Lucerys could’ve lived until Aegon-II recapture Kinglanding, weather he kill Lucerys or not? He probably would. Leaving Aegon-III as hair like in canon, since what’s stopping Aegon-II from killing Lucerys after killing Rhaenyra? It’s that one obstacle stopping Lucerys from being King after Aegon-II is poisoned. So yeah, it’s an okay what if, not expecting what it actually about.

He's half blind because he tried to kill his nephew with a rock

aemond should count himself lucky he only lost an eye calling the princes bastards is treason and the punishment for that is death

I hate that people keep saying Aemond was "bullied" by Aegon, Jace, & Luc. They TEASED him about not having a dragon and you really only see that in ONE scene. He took it negatively because he was an emo kid in general.

Then he'd have to punish Aemond for committing treason. Luke loses an eye, Aemond loses his life
