What If Laenor Stayed? (House Of The Dragon)

[@efrent-vr3bm]

Suggestion - What if Jon accepts Stannis’ offer and becomes Lord of Winterfell with Val as his lady wife

[@theamericanbusinessman3953]

PLEEEEASE!!!

[@matheusdemello2323]

What if Rhaenyra took Gwayne Hightower as a Lover instead of Harwin Strong? What if Lucerys lost his eye *instead* of Aemond? What if both Lucerys & Aemond died in episode 10? What if Aemma Arryn last child, Baelon was born a girl that married Aegon-II? 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 Rhaenyra Hand Of The King after Otto’s dismissed/Lyonel’s death? What if Viserys-I made Rhaenys Hand Of The King after Otto’s dismissed/Lyonel’s death? What if Rhaenyra married Otto after Alicent married Viserys?

[@CicadasEverywhere]

Oh boy, the last one gives me such weird feelings brother

[@Grieldric]

Read this as “What if Laenor Slayed” and was like you know what? What if indeed

[@anna_luin]

I dont think Laenor would insist on being called a King consort though, he would accept he is a Prince to his Queen.

What if daemon and caraxes lived

WHAT IF ALCIENT KILLED RHANERYA ON DRIFTMARK?

[@alejandronunez5110]

WAR

[@albertcoreas5162]

All the kingsguard would restrain Alicent, Cole would try to protect Alicent but be restrained himself. I imagine Daemon would try to kill Alicent right then and there and fail like Cole. I imagine Cole would be fully dismissed from the Kingsguard and either be executed or sent to the wall. Viserys would succumb to heartbreak and rage and wouldn’t seek council from Otto and try to be advised by his other councilmen or Daemon. Alicent would be imprisoned for her treason and probably be sent to Kings Landing for her fate to be decided. I imagine Viserys to reminisce on Daemons words on calling him weak and in his sorrow would decide to execute Alicent. Daemon would take care of the Strong boys from now on and Otto in his own fury would seek to ignite a war and try to capture Aemon, Aegon, and Daeron.

[@calvinkolling8357]

Viserys could disown his children from alicent, i think that could happen and banish them too exil without a dragon

[@albertcoreas5162]

@@calvinkolling8357Dreamfyre and Vhagar would follow their riders regardless, not sure about Sunfyre.

[@sardonically-inclined7645]

What if Blood and Cheese were caught before they got to Jaeherys? Perhaps guards on patrol happen upon them threatening the queen and deal with them both, capture or kill. Or Criston finishes with Alicent early and heads to Helaena's door. Both kids live.

[@johnhill2353]

What if Baela Targaryen burned Ser Criston Cole when she saw him.

[@wandab3843]

What if B&C murdered Aemond?

[@HahahaOpono]

Then they must have rolled the most inexplicable 20 imaginable

[@juliamolinar3983]

What if rhaenyra married a hightower?

[@pckrichards7980]

What if show Doran and elaria were like their book counterparts

[@ifeeldead463]

If Rook's Rest does happen, I imagine Laenor goes with his mother to back her up. Aegon still shows up but sober as he wants to be a good and involved king + his son doesnt die so hes sober amd more cautious. Heck, he and Aemmond might actually work together now, especially as this time Rhaenys didnt come alone

[@xx_toasterreturns_xx1166]

What if Tywin named Tyrion his heir? (Impossible)

[@jewellet.9016]

Damn Leanor really should’ve never left

[@robind7352]

I'm loving these what if's. Very cool!

[@josebuenrostro1430]

Nice video. I like a lot of your ideas. But about Jace and Luke being bethrothed to Baela and Rhaena. In the book they were bethrothed pretty much as soon as the girls were born since Rheanyra was close to Laena (possibly very close) in addition while Rhaenyra didn't belive in Valerian supremecy to the same degree Daemon did Baela and Rhaena would be the best matches for her sons if she wanted to gaurantee both lines would continue to provide Dragonriders (at this point I doubt Rhaenyra cared if House Valaryon became another dragon riding house in full, they already were with Rhaenys, Laenor and Laena). In the book it's more ambigious if Jace, Luke and Joff are bastards. Rhaenys is far more supportive in the books which lends credence that they might be true born or she's less petty in the books and realizes this was likely the only way Laenor would be a father. Point is in books Rhaenys's support was never needed but since in the show they made the parentage obvious and had Rhaneys not happy about it the marriage as a bargaining chip makes sense. But with Daemon living with them he's also likely want Jace and Luke for Baela and Rhaena because he doesn't want the Targ blood to thin.

[@cturner956]

Daemon is a huge wildcard in this scenario, as he’s not strictly attached to either the Blacks or the Greens necessarily in this scenario

[@eclecticnomad1972]

I want a part two of this so badly! I just feel like all the different scenarios this could lead to would be really interesting

[@phil.moloney2980]

Interesting video, great job. But I'm wondering when parts 2 for the whats with Meakor Waters and if Deamon kept his crown, and part 3 with the killed greens and the bronze dragon. Speaking of the bronze dragon I've rewatched parts 1 and 2 aswell as the tv series and I've reached one conclusion the greens are doomed. Reasons why. 1: The Lannister and the western lands will side with Meagor and Rheranya for one reason Lenaor, if he married to a Lannister than they are tired to his family but Blood and as we know the Lannisters won't side with losers, also Meagor went to war with Lenaor for three years, you can't have to young men around the same age fighting side by side with some kind of relationship happening, and they could join the houses by having one of Meagor and Rheranya younger sons marry Laenor daughter. 2: Ameaond, if Ameaond finds out the ture about Meagor and Alicent than three things will happen, 1, he will side with his father, 2, he doesn't believe any of it and sides with the greens, 3, he can't trust anyone and take Vhagar and leaves. Also on a side note if the battle above the god eye happens it won't just be Deamon and Ameaond I can see Meagor joining the battle trying to stop his father and son form killing eachother. And what if Viserys and Daemon brother Aegon survived child birth and lived how would the story changed if there were three brothers instead of two.

Dude be making videos of my CK 2 & 3’ AGOT play thrus

[@burningboy14]

Can you do a "What if Rhaenyra had married Gwayne Hightower?" Please.

[@crimsonECH1DNA]

What if Balon Greyjoy accepted the alliance terms with Robb? We normally see stuff like "what if Theon never betrayed Robb" but I think this would be a nice alternative. The internal logic here is that Asha/Yara manages to get into her father's ear and convinces him that the Iron Islands have more to gain in the long term by siding with Robb than the short term of raiding the North. So through this chain of events, Winterfell is never taken, Catelyn doesn't give into despair and release Jaime in a moment of weakness, and the Karstarks never defect.

[@isaacjimenez8922]

Maegor Royce part 3?

[@sankarkrishnan407]

Choose your lover carefully. If Daemon was her lover instead of Harwin there is no whisper of Illegitamacy.

[@jaysus4316]

What if Robin Aryn was sent to Ward with Stannis

[@HahahaOpono]

What if Tywin loved Tyrion?

[@mdguy35]

Let’s fuckin go

[@calvinkolling8357]

What if aemond in his hunt for Luke flys vhaghar against a cliff and drowns, vhaghar then follows Luke too Dragonstone

[@faithmoir1637]

there isnt really a need for dragonseeds in this timeline tho, is there? laenor is still around to command seasmoke and luke is still around to command arrax. i can see luke being sent to the vale instead of rhaena bc he's built a rapport with jeyne (tho it could go either way, rhaenyra might not want her fave son so far from her) if rhaena is still hanging around dragonstone, i can see her claiming silverwing, who is clearly pretty accepting of any rider. while vermy is a great get for the blacks, it isn't a huge loss if he goes unclaimed also, i do think jace and luke are still betrothed to baela and rhaena, esp luke. it REALLY boosts their legitimacy (and ideally cancels out any objection from the velaryons when luke comes into his inheritance down the line, bc going down the line of inheritance, the 'rightful' ruler is still ruling driftmark w/ rhaena -- laenor has no legit kids, so the line should go down laena's descendants. in theory, baela is queen, so it would skip over her to rhaena, who would be luke's consort) though i could see laenor offering up joffrey instead, even though that would be problematic on its own bc jace agrees to have joff marry a manderly in the book while hes puttering about the north.

[@jjosifovic]

Seems a better timeline than the current one

[@Chris-vu1he]

What if Leanor was straight

[@trent2961]

Do you ever think you’ll continue your “what if daemon had a son series?”

[@albertcoreas5162]

What if Jon Snow and the Watch lost the Battle for The Wall? What if Beric Dondarrion killed The Hound? What if Bronn was Tyrions champion instead of Oberyn? What if the Faith Militant never released Cersei and killed her?

[@Balorak146]

What if the little Princess Rhaenys Targaryen survived Robert's Rebellion, having found safe harbor during the Sack with ^both^ Jaime Lannister and Ned Stark while being chased into the throne room by Amory Lorch? Yes, I mean that before Ned can condemn Jaime for killing Aerys, they're immediately thrown into working together to deal with a bloody & terrified toddler and the man trying to murder her, and then they have to deal with Gregor Clegane when he comes looking for her himself to...finish his job, as it were. Ugh. I always feel like I need a shower whenever that man comes up...

[@infamous9858]

What if Viserys lived a little longer ( maybe like 5 more years? )

[@juaniavila181]

What if Jaehera lives after her marriage with Aegon III

[@SpongeWatches]

What if daemon went with Rhaenys to Rooks Rest

[@elinakangas571]

Is it possible that Alicent and Rhaenyra made up was performative in front of King Viserys I? That way it makes more sense.
