au!rhaenyra & aegon |...i'm a suffocator

subs available
yeah i cant stop making shit vids. my bad .I just got hit with that feeling that I need to make something now for Aegon. I always had the idea to use Rob for older Aegon back when making my luc vids, but I wasn't Aegons biggest fan yet, so I left it. But now Aegon is starting to become my favourite? huh. Hopefully the vid just speaks for itself. They want to be together, but the fates/destiny/prophecy (whatever you like to call it) basically makes it impossible, and they of course end up going to war like usual (same events played out as the history book). I tried to end it that the fates meet back when Aegon is majorly injured with his burnt body/broken legs (like in canon), which I'm pretty sure took him effectively out of the fighting of the war and kind of ended it for him.
I hope I don't forget anyone. Sorry there is so many. But i felt very inspired by their works so..... :o (Also I tried to use diff manips to my best ability. But I know there are a couple that a few vidders have used. But I made sure not to watch their vids too close to when making mine, and used footage in my own way)
- • rhaenyra targaryen & a...
- • rhaenyra & aegon targa...

- / @sweetie2566
And also song inspo is always this vid. Because this video is pretty much the official music vid in my mind for it. You might see how I am influenced by it? although its like 1000 times better. I mean.. Its masterclass in editing.
• Odi et Amo.

This was the best option book Viserys could've chosen to avoid the Dance. In the show it wasn't possible because she was 17 years older than Aegon but in the books she was I believe 8 years older. Still quite a bit older but it's not like that hasn't happened before. Maegor's first wife, Ceryse Hightower was a decade older than him. The best course of action in my opinion would've been to marry Rhaenyra and Aegon as well as Daemon and Laena. And then bethrode their children together. But Vizzy T is like the player who chooses all the bad options to see how the game will be played out.

this is 6 months late, but this is SUCH a beautiful edit. the music, the dusky-orange filter, and the splicing of the scenes evoke such stirring emotion esp at 1:04 - 1:26 🫶🏼

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you! this is one of my favourite videos I've ever made

[@ItsJessEdits]

IDK how im JUST seeing this, but this is an absolute art piece, wow.

[@rabbitmaze]

Ah thank you! I loooooved making this video so much. One of those editing times whereyou can feel the creation process happening so smoothly. It unfortunately hardly happens for me, but seems to give me my best results. Its probably one of my fave vids I ever made! So I am very happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much again! I'm loving your creative works/worlds and interpretations.❤

[@ivraeas]

this is gorgeous beyond words, it feels vivid and real, so captivating. i’m speechless. this is beautiful! and choosing SMOTHER for it? lovely. and i’m so happy to see you editing hotd (and aegon!), this has to be one of my favourites now

[@rabbitmaze]

Thank you for the huge inspiration! I think its your vid that finally pushed me over the edge into stanning aegon territory. lmao. I was making an alicent/aegon vid, but I can tell its not really ever going to work. So I have still been loving re=watching your videos and the latest one. I am definitely on my daughter kick it seems. Just took me a few years or so....lol. And thanks again, thats really kind words. Wish I could have brought some more ...."ompf" to it (if that makes sense, ha), but I tried!

[@anettenavarro6244]

A masterpiece ❤ the scenes, coloring, song, and dialogue is just chef's kiss 😩

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you so much!

Fue tan bello, un fanfic de esto seria genial ^.^//

[@kueyens9955]

OH MY! i come back from hiatus to this absolute GEM??!!!! the TALENT, the BEAUTY!!!! this looks incredible...and the voiceovers???? *chefs kiss*

[@rabbitmaze]

i wish I can take a proper hiatus of more than few days from youtube like you, haha. Thank you for the inspiration. Your video is the one that twisted my mind, or flicked the switch....and started my fangirling over these two. Your video is still the master of this couple imo. Can't be beaten. :O so thank you for your masterful works.

[@kueyens9955]

@@rabbitmaze thank you for your kind words, they mean so much!! honestly i'm happy that the absolute rot that these two are has invaded your brain and i'll take full credit ahahahah i can't wait to see what else you've got cooking in that wonderful mind of yours!!!

[@MySelflessLove]

this is MAGNIFICENT

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you!

[@ohmystars1]

OH MY FUCKING GOD???!!!? i'm losing it over this edit - how beautiful it is. I adore the song & the editing & the fancast choice for older Aegon. This is definitely going down as one of my favorite fanvids.

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you so much! I've really been admiring all your crossover videos and the way you edit. I have a lot in my favourites playlist. So thank you so much for the positive feedback. Means a lot!

[@ohmystars1]

@@rabbitmaze oh my gosh, thank you so much! You are BEYOND talented - 10x more talented than me. Can I ask if you use AI voice for your videos? Which app do you use if that's true?

[@Hanniet]

omg this video is just a masterpice! The coloring, cuts, song, everything is soo beautiful! You are truly one of the best. I'm a big fan of Daughter so every video with their song and HOTD is a treasure for me 🥹 I think that everybody who read the book did not like Aegon however, Tom plays him so well so I do not blame you hehe :D

[@rabbitmaze]

oh thanks so much! that means heaps, since you inspire me a lot these last months. I tried to bring your.....ahmmm "frantic" energy (there it is! my go to word) in this vid. lol. And yes I pretty much failed at it. Well at the arrows scene, I thought of your editing, and tried. haha. Then it just didn't happen as planned and all went sloooow. progress....progress. XD Glad you enjoyed it! Idk why it took me so long to use daughter songs. I'm just super feeling it lately. Oh dang really? well I was reading the page for his character...and um he sound disgusting in later life...so yes lol. I can see why there must be dislike. Could it be historian biases? I'll blame them! lol. Yeah he definitely does! Thanks again!! ❤🧡💛

[@Hanniet]

​@@rabbitmaze You didn't fail! That is exactly what I try to achieve with my "frantic" energy but it ends up being messy. Yours is really beautiful, so atmospheric and your cuts are simply great. He is however, I hope to see more videos of him from you (.... please? 🥹) btw. as always, you are too kind! 🤍

[@rabbitmaze]

@@Hanniet 🤧thank you for thinking so! ❤❤❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹 But once again I love this mess you speak of. Its the best. Idk what else I could do with him tbh. But I hope to think of someeeeething. Cos he's so great character. sigh. Hopefully inspiration will spark. I have realised I think my medication is making me just vid vid vid obsessively. so it's good to be crazy i guess. OR i just have no life. ya know what, its probably the latter. LOL. thanks again though, you kind soul!

[@robinkun234]

Everything you post is a masterpiece

[@rabbitmaze]

god thank you so much, how I wish. 🙃🙃🙃Buuuut I think your comment might be more suited to be written by us under your vids, lol. but thank you very much for even getting close to thinking so.❤❤❤ Your last video is still playing in my head since you posted. 🤤

[@brkdestinyX]

Oh, i missed to see videos with this fandom! 😭 As always the scenes and voiceovers are *amazing* ! And omg, i never actually tought of them together before, BUT NOW, ohhhh i can see it NOW! It would be actually interesting! 👀 And i loved your fancast as robert 🤩 *great video!*

[@rabbitmaze]

😂 Did i say i'm sorry for this HOTD spam? cos I am! I still waiting on your alicent vid with you know who. Cos seriously, I need something to rip my interest from aegon and let me just obsess over looking at a vid instead of making one. 😭😭😭 Rob had some nice fluffy hair for the part, lol. And didn't look too muscly so he got the lucky part, haha. But I'm glad you can see it now. YES SEE IT MORE! lol. Then make a video on it :D :D thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@emiliasbabe]

Wow i'm in love♥️ You made a masterpiece😍

[@rabbitmaze]

thanks so much! 🥰😭

[@Sweetie2566]

real chills! your editing just never disappoints, your placement of audio, scene cuts and the vibe you're able to create in your videos always leaves me speechless! i can't stop rewatching this video, it has the perfect vibe, ahhhhh I love it so much

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you! I felt a lot of emotion for these two when making this video, and had lots of fun as well. Its only when i click "public" that i feel instant regret, lol. So thank you for the wonderful feedback!❣❤🧡

[@rcsejunie6612]

00:49 THIS PART?? I FEEL GUILTY FOR LOVING THIS EDITTT

[@rabbitmaze]

lol baha welcome to the guilty club. And thank you! 💌❤

[@losloe6815]

I love this video! I like Aegon so much (I think Tom Glynn-Carney is responsible for this😁) and I really want to see him more in the second season. I like so much how you picked up castes for an adult Aegon, I didn't even think about Rob, but this is a complete hit. Of course, young Rhaenyra and Aegon are some of my favorite videos!💔

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you so much! I have come to love them the most o_o. Which was so unexpected. As I thought I would prefer her and daemon. But nope. lol. Yes, I really hope they give him some good screen time next season, I have really come to appreciate his acting. I thought Rob has a good kind of sadness but haughtiness to his face that could work. But its really hard to find a truly 100 percent suitable older aegon tbh. D: thanks again!

[@moondustpro]

God, you're so talented! Your AU videos are so breathtaking and creative, I can't stop wondering about how you make them! I didn't like HOD very much, but if it was THIS plot, I would definitely adore it. Thank you ❤

[@rabbitmaze]

😱😱😱 Girl don't send me into a coma hearing those words from you. You are queen of AU's and non-Au's. Oh just in videos in general! I think we are all sitting around wondering the same thing when you post. I know I do, lol. Well if this was the plot, tbh, it would be Supremely creepy, whoopsies. But if they re-wrote the ages just a tad or remove a couple of scenes then it could work. But as you know, us vidders...we just do the re-writing ourselves. Sometimes for the best, um sometimes not. 😮 Thanks again so much. once more...im surprised people like this. (but happy lol)❤❤

[@alexandragamarrasanchez6711]

this is a masterpiece!!! ❤

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you thats super nice to hear :)

[@sigyn27]

Not sure how I feel about the pairing, but the vid is amazing. The song, the colouring, the text effects - all work perfectly.

[@rabbitmaze]

i totally understand the apprehension. For me I suppose I'm choosing to ignore some certain aspects which is why older alicent is shown with a young rhaenyra at one point, which doesn't make total sense given the canon ages. But even without the ages, it would still be weird. But then again.... I ship cesare/lucrezia so hnnn...... But thank you very much for your lovely words!

[@nyxldx]

I almost cried with how perfect this is??! 🥺 giiirl (non gendered), you're being too hard on yourself!!! you're an incredible editor! every single work of yours is just stunning and I'm so very excited to see you vidding these two, because I've been shipping them for a while now and actually seeing edits of them is so amazing 🙈

[@rabbitmaze]

D: 😱😱😱😭ah thanks so much. I just feel like I've completely lost the ability to look at my videos from an outside perspective, so I can't tell if what i'm making is worth anything or is garbage. Especially since I feel like I make vids too frequently and i want to stoooop, but get obsessive about finishing. lol. So thank you for your words they mean a lot, I really just need to post the vid and not care. And if it sucks well then oh well, at least it was fun to make. what do they say....its the journey not the destination....LOL. Therapy session complete. God, I'm late to the bandwagon, it just started to creep up on me as a ship and then slapped me fully in the face. thanks once more! ❤❤❤❤💔

[@bampo8436]

This is amazing omfg

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you kindly :)

[@KiwiNikified]

Yes, this is brilliant. I am fascinated by these two together. A lovely video ❤

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you!! Yes I am finally seeing the fascination. :o

[@KiwiNikified]

@rabbitmaze The what-if potential is so good. I'd like to think they would have been compatible. Rhaenyra could have worn the pants and Aegon could have lived a carefree life where all he has to do is worship his sister in bed whenever she wants. It's a win win.

[@rabbitmaze]

@@KiwiNikified bahaha I like your train of thinking. She definitely would have worn the pants! I think she really could have looked after him. It didnt even need to be romantic. It would have been nice to just see a bond. But their parents/grandparents destroyed that chance. But I also like your version of retelling the events. lmao.

Сколько бы проблем решил их брак... (Я понимаю, что Хайтауэры предлагали его из-за желания видеть свою плоть и кровь на троне, но всё же, объективно если оценивать, то войны не было бы совершенно и чисто теоретически, если юы права Рейниры оспаривались какими-нибудь лордами, что юыло бы мало вероятно, слея из ее брака, то Хайтауэры ее бы поддержали)

[@TheSylenda]

I'm just speechless about your creativity! How did this pairing even possible come into your mind wow?! I know you do love impossible insets pairing like Cesare&Lucrezia🤗 Now I just start thinking what if... the age difference between them was not so big, maybe the whole story turned into different way..who knows. Your manips are fantastic and look like real clips😍 And this song brings me so many nostalgic memories when it was popular about 10 years ago. This is truly masterpiece! I can't wait till the new season!🤩

[@rabbitmaze]

I definitely cant take credit for the idea of these two together!!! I'm pretty sure the first video I linked is what got me going "huhhhhhh. It's beautiful!'. And its much much better video than mine. Originally i always had the idea to use rob with some older version of his full sister from the show. But I never got into that pairing. Well actually the girl i wanted to use for her, the clip aspect ratio was too different between shows to look natural, so i gave up, lol. This pairing now I find fascinating. Yeah the age gap is the only thing that made me cringe, mostly because they actually show him and her together when he is a baby, so I'm pretending that does NOT exist. And thats why its au with the ages. lol It only took me 10 years to get into vidding daughter ahh! Been in my song list since forever since that cesare/lucrezia video. And I thought these two had enough tragedy for them to go with the song. thank you for your lovely lovely comment. I always love when you poke your head out. haha. Ya know here I am still waiting for you to upload (i must say this every time but its the truth). Hopefully new season super inspires you to vid again! I also can not wait for new season ughhhhh! 💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@TheSylenda]

@@rabbitmaze your video is the first I saw about this pairing and you surprised me a lot🥰🤗 Oh Hunnie, thank for your kind words, I really don't know if I ever come back to vidding as time flies so fast, and so much staff to do!😱I really can't understand where I had so much time 10 years ago, or maybe time wasn't so crazy like now😨 I had an idea about Targaryens dragons video for many years and even started to make it but then gave up. I do hope for next season of House of the Dragon and I love Aemond &Alis Rivers pairing that is coming in a new season. I hope writers will give them enough time in Harrenhall and who knows maybe I will open Sony Vegas after all these years😂

[@rabbitmaze]

@@TheSylenda well i'm glad i could introduce you to them! It kind of just hitting me how much emotion aegon's actor brings into his role. And they look so lovely together, and the differing personalities and how they mesh. Her more strong and assertive and him needing more reassurance. Yes time does fly too fast!! I didn't think I would still be vidding now. But to be honest, I thought I just wouldnt be here in general, so I'm happy I still am. lmao. But I do think its good you are not vidding all the time or so frequently. Its such a time consuming hobby. And while its good to have hobbies....sometimes i think vidding gets kind of addictive. Almost like gaming, where you just sit yourself in front of the computer. Even though i think vidding is more creative. idk. D: I think its good you found balance in your life, and thats fine you don't vid anymore, even though I will always be missing your works of art. It seems like you found other more important things to fill that time, and thats good! Damn, I feel like your vid would make me love aemond and Alis Rvers :O I only know them from scattered videos. Well I hope then that the writers do this for your sake, since I dont mind for my sake, because I never read the book, so my expectations wont be so high for them! 😅❤❤❤

[@Celra205]

your vid is a masterpiece and i'm so happy you edited these two. Tom G-C is definitely my favorite actor on the show, it's a shame that the writers decide to make Aegon a r*pist. also, i love all the yellow you used, it gives something very beautiful and very strange. Thank you for this vid, it will help me wait for season 2.

[@rabbitmaze]

thank you 😭😭 I'm honestly surprised people like it. lol. Maybe its hard to resist the dragons? lol. Oof I forgot he did that stuff in the show. Now from watching peoples videos, its almost like it didn't happen. o_o I like how we can re-write through videos. What a power tbh! Yes he's definitely a great actor and doing really good things. I love his facial expressions and how he delivers dialogue. He does it with empathy, instead of sounding whiny. And thanks, I was finally satisfied with the coloring and didn't need to turn it to b&w (though I like when other people use those colours, I just always have preferred brighter colours for my own vids. But lost my ability to properly colour grade a vid in a way I like). I'm glad it could help and I;m excited for s02. Gosh I've forgotten how far away it is.....
