HOTD: Official Podcast: S2 Ep. 6 Sonoya Mizuno on the Relationship between Mysaria and Rhaenyra

[@languorfellaway]

it was so good hearing sonoya’s perspective on this episode - mysaria is fascinating!

This may be a bit of a stretch, but I honestly believe Sonoya is the perfect choice for the MCU’s Psylocke. It would be a great opportunity to join in.

Fun fact: Sonoya Mizuno was in a very recent play that ended on the 7th of july called 'a Child of science' in the bristol old vic. She was a costar with tom felton (who yes, played draco malfoy in the harry potter franchise.) Not many people knew about it and you got to meet her afterwards and get a pic/autograph.

As listening to this podcast, after first viewing of the episode, I realized that the reason she flies to meet Seasmoke and its rider could most likely be her thinking her ex hubby is back in town because that would be the simplest explanation and only she knows he is still alive out there somewhere... and also all of the reasons memtioned in this episode of the podcast.

[@lamo1724]

I think it's worth remarking, yet again, on the wonderful character development the actor who played Young Alicent gave to the role. There's a clear demarcation of the mother she wanted to be and the mother she became that occurred the day she donned the Greens after finding out about Rhaenyra and Cole. Aegon and Helaena were probably youngsters at that time, but Aemond would have been in his most formative years in terms of child development. They've all needed a better mother than they grew up with, but Aemond truly is most disturbed by not receiving maternal love xxx

[@lesliemisaacs]

Aegon is the oldest, then came Helaena, then came Aemond.

[@lamo1724]

@@lesliemisaacs Exactly! So Aemond would have been an infant when his mother's love suddenly 'changed' , as Alicent became bitter about Rhaenyra xxx

[@Plantbasedgirl90]

I would be cautious with Mysaria, Rhaynera is very vulnerable and I think Mysaria would use that to her advantage.

[@sproductionsinc]

What would her endgame be? I’m trying to figure it out. I suppose she could be with Greens, but that seems odd to me & goes against her character so far. Rhaenyra wants to help the small folk, so it seems unnecessary to manipulate her.. unless Mysaria really doesn’t care about the small folk, but that also feels weird for her character.

Probably to keep the “brand” consistent and “faceless” to present more broadly and professionally. Not saying that it’s the right move but it’s probably the thinking behind it. Also less production worries with no video, especially if this was meant as an audio only podcast for other platforms first and then ported to KZbin second.

[@vgfunman]

Well, for one - the leitmotif isn't played in-universe. It's the theme of House Lannister in the show so of course it would be played. Beyond that, it's very intentional that they only play the first parts of it and not the notes denoting the specific end of Reyne. Nitpicky.

[@IndomitableAde]

@@vgfunman It only becomes the theme of House Lannister _after_ Tywin enters the story and _because_ of what he did to House Reyne. Even the first part is Lord Reyne speaking in defiance to Tytos Lannister, so yes, I'm nitpicking. It doesn't belong there.

Seems Aemond wants 3 things. 1) A dragon 2) the ability to rule 3) his older sister(Helaena). he took Laena’s dragon the night of her funeral. He torched his brother in revenge for bullying. Hopefully he never gets #3 considering he has the first 2

[@lawbinson]

I think she flies off to meet Seasmoke now because if the new dragon rider is Green, either she kills Seasmoke now, or she has no chance if Seasmoke gets to group up with Vaghar.

[@FinOsin9]

@@vzhh_0 i think what @lawbinson meant that she just wants to know who riding Seasmoke: new rider, an ally or some body she has to take over by herself (her with the strongest dragon from black team so far). if she wins, good. no new threat and her enemy should consider a better plan, black team still have hope to battle. if she loses, o-m-g. nothing left for black team. even she's alive and be able to run back to dragonstone, it seems no chance for black team to win a group of Vagar and Seamoke. it's terrible to see that two dragons fly together.

Say what you will about my beloved MysNyra, but it's clear that Rhaenyra wouldn't have sent the folks at King's Landing food and gained their favor, or rode off to find Seasmoke herself, without Mysaria's influence and support. Mysaria is the only person that doesn't make her feel inadequate, and it's giving her the confidence to actually play some real offense for once. Whether their relationship continues romantically or platonically, it's anything but "unnecessary" or "pointless." It's the whole damn turning point.

[@connoraidenwilliams]

39:00 I’m sorry but what are they talking about? Rhaenyras children with Harwin are bastards and they ride dragons. Bastards with Targaryen blood riding on dragon back isn’t new or shocking at all. What are we talking about here?

​@jun3078 the faith of the seven has a different outlook on the matter, they think people born out of wedlock are inherently evil. That's really sad, and of course untrue.

[@gunselshaly537]

@@jun3078 That full quote is, "“The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” but that's irrelevent to this storyline anyways. Both Velaryons and Targaryens can claim dragons. Addam, who claimed Seasmoke in the series, also claimed Seasmoke in the book. Keep in mind these folks all share *some* blood.

[@SonderDAzeX]

I think they mean democratizing Dragons to smallfolk vs Targaryen noble born. Even when Rhaenyra proposes to Darklynn its on the premise that He is noble born with Targaryen Noble ancestry. And RHaenyra Strong Kids are Bastards But they are still recognized Noble birth from House targaryen (and Velaryon) in the line of succession. That is the difference. Addam Claiming a Dragon(Or Dragon claiming rider) challenges not only class, but Targaryen Exceptionalism and their monopoly on Dragons.

[@gunselshaly537]

Keep in mind that people are dumb af, and they don't know left from right.

[@bfarewell296]

Their legal status (bastard/legitimate) is irrelevant, it matters whether they have dragonrider blood or not. All who descend from Targaryens have dragonrider blood, including Rhaenyra's Strong sons. But Addam, as far as we were aware, does not have Targaryen blood. Or maybe he does? I believe in the books there was a Targaryen woman married into the Velaryon house some generations ago, so maybe that's why Addam was eligible for a dragon ride. Velaryons are not a dragonriding family, as far as we were aware. There is a theory that explains it quite well: supposedly in the days of old Valyria dragons were bound to the will of humans by dark rituals that made one bloodline of dragons connected to one human bloodline. So that's why Targaryens can control dragons (except some wild ones), but no other remaining Valyrians can: there are Velaryons, Celtigars and countless Valyrian descendants in the Free Cities in Essos, but they aren't capable of controlling dragons.

[@r.f.6702]

Dany basically uses her handmaid Irri like a human sex toy because it's convenient, not out of genuine attraction to her or women in general. Irri sees it as her duty to attend to Dany sexually because that's how she's always been used by the men she's served. Dany admits to herself that she'd rather have sex with a man and that she knows Irri isn't into her at all (her kisses 'tasted of duty'). At the end of the day, their relationship is a master abusing their servant. I wouldn't call leaving it out of GOT bi-erasure. Neither one of them was actually into women.

That isn't even Mysaria. You've simply made a new character for your fanfic season and used the name. Rhaenyra made the blockade, but people are praising her? They're mourning the dragon that crushed hundreds in the pit? I hate these writers.

[@mattsavage9960]

Go away and watch the pathetic rubbish literally everywhere else on every streaming platform currently.

[@merchantofchaos088]

The crown has a responsibility to feed the small folk. It doesn't matter to them that Rhaenyra has the blockade. It is the crown's responsibility to find a way around it to feed them. They need someone to blame and the Greens are closer and is easier for them to see that they're still eating good and even their dragons are well fed. So yeah, the woman sending the food so they don't starve is the one who gets their praise.

[@SonderDAzeX]

So jarring to hear Mysaria talk in a normal accent.

It's cabbage not lettuce 🙄

Team Emma Darcy

[@BALL_BUZZ]

I thought the episode was good. The whole kissing thing was cringe though. We have a whole war going on we don't have time for this kind of stuff especially when they are giving us 8 episodes instead of 10. I think the writers are unintentionally making Rhaenyra look incompetent and the wrong person to put faith in when there is a war going on.

[@FinOsin9]

look what Rhaenyra did when she heard about a "unknown rider" on Seasmoke. she doesn't want to stand still and listened to other men, she goes and gets her dragon and takes off right away. her son cannot even talk or stop her. i called that "determined", one of leadership's needed trait. she didn't distract or second guess about what she needs to get done.

[@kauetadaieski3131]

That last scene was made only for pride money. No other reason.

[@aliyoung7717]

So why Jace is rejected? He has good potential to rule.

[@calistoatriano9258]

So understanding there is another dragon around after seeing the ground scorched and burnt carcasses makes her a smart cookie??? Oh, and what exactly were Alicent’s triumphs as a leader? Starting a civil war in a grab for power? Stop trying so hard to cheer for “girl power”, it’s lame.

Boring ass episode. 🥱🥱🥱

Thanks for ya input. No one cares but thanks.

[@jheartnote1401]

And the wokism reaches House of the Dragon yet again. A romance that wasn’t even in the novels

[@zacharybroussard1968]

Yeah definitely ruins a series

[@brandcamacho2899]

Rhaenyra is heavily implied in the books to be a bisexual with her cousing laena and there are romantic undertones in between rhaenyra and alicent that all the actors have said theyve tried to portray so idk what u talking about they are also two women that feel alone and stressed out and that understand each other and enjoy their company is totally plausible for that to happen in secrecy and thats the same reason its not shown in the history books

[@thirdcoinedge]

@@brandcamacho2899 Also, Emma D'Arcy is nonbinary, so honestly, I'm just glad the show is finally utilizing the fact that their main lead in a show about a woman seeking to ascend as monarch in a highly patriarchal world is a queer actor. Even if it's not "accurate to the books," this show is an adaptation, it has a right to diverge in areas where it sees appropriate to do so.

[@MyUniqueVibe]

Lol, do you have nightmares about "wokism?" Do you, like, cry salty tears?

[@purplehairedwzrd]

Martin says it best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4ucc4Swn6qMg80si=V3Zs4Orc_K4Q3lUV P.S. you don't understand what it means, and it shows

bruh hope they get a x-scene with misaria and rhae.

They just had to turn another character gay. They can never seem to help themselves.

[@chlxbear]

rhaenyra is implied to be bisexual in the books…

[@ogmeatwad.6]

The episodes are getting worse and worse.

[@hehe-mq2bk]

mysaria is Asian? isn't that a disconuity? Asians aren't the supposed to exist in Westeros unless we know they came from places like YiTi?

[@iliaponomarev1624]

Well, my head canon is that she's probably from Yi Ti...
