i agree so much!!! i was delighted by all the valyrian, dragons, even the incest lmaoo, it all speaks so highly of the targaryens as a dynasty, and this song particularly feels so ancient, like i can actually believe it was a song that was passed down through generations from the old valyria

I love the respect Daemon has for the dragons. He’s not at all frightened by Vermithor, it’s more awe. And even if Vermithor isn’t Daemon’s dragon, it’s clear he has some kind of respect for Daemon. And I love how he sings the song Jaehaerys used to sing for Vermithor, he probably misses his old rider, and is happy to hear his song again.

Dany's dragons let Tyrion take the chains off them after he describes how much he loved dragons and reverred them as a child. To me this just further tells me that dragons are incredibly sentient. There seems to be three aspects to getting them to calm and obey- loving and respecting them, doing the ancient Valyrian custom of lowering a lit torch to the ground Infront of them, and appealing to them which seems to warm and calm them. Tyrion talks to them as if they are fellow children in heart and mind, very capable of understanding every word he utters. Daemon understands too. He sings a lullaby. They show they are no threat, they show their love, awe and devotion to the dragons, they partake in the dragons custom of the lit torch and they calm them in childlike ways. Tyrion tells a story and Daemon sings a lullaby.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Vermithor is the next largest dragon after Vhagar and was called The Bronze Fury. His only rider so far was King Jaehaerys I, the old king we saw in the intro of the first episode and Daemon’s grandfather. Once when Jaehaerys’ reign was young, Lord Rogar Baratheon rebelled against him but was eventually taken into custody by the crown. When Lord Rogar asked the Young King Jaehaerys if he meant to take hostages in return for his treason, Jaehaerys simply made Rogar watch while he fed Vermithor, trusting that was enough to keep him in line… and it was…

Maybe Viserys and Daemon were a little scared, being so little and seeing such powerful beings, so when Jaehaerys took them to meet his Dragon, Vermithor, he sang this sweet song that he had learned at their age, from his father Aenys, who had learned from his father Aegon, and so on, all the way back to Valyria of Old.

Just to make it clear: Daemon didn't go there to tame that dragon. He was just checking up on the old beast. Vermithor was the dragon of King Jaehaerys, the old man we see as king in the opening scene of the series. After Jaehaerys' death, Vermithor left King's Landing to settle on Dragonstone. He has been living there ever since, without a new rider. Daemon is just checking up on that big old dragon because he knows that a dragon like Vermithor -second in size only to Vhagar- is an invaluable asset to the Blacks. But he cannot claim Vermithor for himself. Not unless Caraxes is dead.

1:10 man this shot was so ridiculously badass, daemon just be daemoning 😂😂

[@feloveilyamaz94]

It's amazing that a lot of people don't pay attention to details, there's a few Daemon and Caraxes scene from ep 1 that will tell you a lot. Ep 1> Daemon having a lovey dovey moment with Caraxes, and he take Mysaria's hand and let her touch Caraxes Ep 2> Caraxes come on cue when Daemon draw his sword towards Otto Ep 3> Not a single dracarys from Daemon but Caraxes burn in control, react when Daemon got hit with the arrow. Also, this caught my attention that when Daemon go to fight the crabs, did he chain Caraxes? I read someone's comment about this too, "how did Daemon convinced Caraxes to stay?" Because he always react to Daemon, or probably Caraxes being the good boy as he is just stay calm obeyed Daemon Lol Ep 6> my favorite moment.. fly high in the air and Daemon lift his hands up (foreshadowing 😏), Daemon The Show Off, how much trust between him and Caraxes.. fly without a care through the fire.. Ep 10> "I'm presenting you a choice" and Caraxes show up, why is he always on cue? Never heard Daemon called him.. And this awesome scene. The riderless dragon for over 40 years, sing to him, probably to some kind of "wake him up" from his super long me time.. didn't flinch and look at Vermithor in the eye.. Daemon is something else when it comes to Dragons. "Not a dragonrider but a dragonlord" is perfect to describe him.

[@hafsahassan394]

He is the most dedicated Targaryen! explains why he is so mad at the Hightower-targaryens, and at Viserys for not sharing a single piece of Targaryen prophecy

[@ladygrey7425]

Viserys was most likely afraid that Daemon would have flown north to challenge the Night King to single combat and most likely would have gotten him and his dragon killed and zombiefied. One of the worst possible outcomes. Granted, this was at a time when the Realm was united under the dragons and could have stopped a White Walker invasion at the Wall, not during the absolute clusterfuck of Jon and Dany's time where they barely managed to defeat the demonic horde at Winterfell and that's largely due to Arya being a fucking ninja.

[@mirielvan3351]

excellent presentation , daemon is so damn badass

[@SicMundusss]

Well-delivered, sir. You had me take time to revisit those exact moments. Indeed, Daemon is truly a dragonlord.

[@sonofjack6286]

It's not exactly "me-time" if Vermithor has been spending weeks if not months at a time hibernating curled up with his wife.

[@Ivbo]

Daemon was the last true Dragonlord of old, all the others alive during this time period including Aemond and Rhaenys were simply Dragonriders, but Daemon Targaryen was the only true Dragonlord. He’s what the Old Valyrian’s would’ve been like, when you look at him that’s what you see…he commands a certain level of mutual respect with all the dragons. This is what I always imagined Aegon The Conqueror and Visenya Targaryen would’ve been like around the dragons, true Dragonlords of Old Valyria.

[@revanius2213]

Daemon seems to be something else compared to the rest of House Targaryen, delving into researching Ancient Valyria and personally excavating the Dragon Eggs, now this, seems he's trying to push the limits of Targaryen power.

[@hafsahassan394]

In this show, he is also the Targaryen most fluent in High Valyrian! Do the Greens even speak it?

[@princepscivitatis4083]

Vermithor the Bronze Fury. 3rd largest dragon to ever exist, 2nd largest living dragon at present, mount of King Jaehaerys the Conciliator and "husband" to Silverwing. For anyone that's saying Rhaenyra's kids should've claimed him... there's a reason he's called the Bronze Fury. He's just as much likely to burn a mf than be claimed by one. During the sowing of the seeds, Vermithor literally burns one of the poor schmucks that try to claim him. Since Rhaenyra or anybody didn't expect an outright dragon v dragon war, there was no reason for them to risk their lives claiming this monstrosity. Edit- for all that's saying the Cannibal was bigger than Vermithor, here's a direct excerpt from Fire & Blood: **"Vermithor was already a large dragon in 48 AC; only Balerion and Vhagar were larger."** Keep in mind, Vermithor was born somewhere around 30 AC, so that makes him only 18 in 48 AC. Mf was outclassing other dragons when he was just a teenager. At present he's 99 years old.

Actually I think the cannibal may be the 3rd biggest. He and Vermithor are close.
