Vermax - Tumblr Posts
All in all not my favorite episode, but I'm glad we got to see Vermithor again, and that Silverwing finally made an appearance. Doesn't matter how much they screw up the characters, the dragons are always done perfectly. Also, we finally got a Tessarion mention!
I just saw a Syrax hate post. Guy, please. You can hate the characters you hate and love the characters you love, but why do you need to bring the dragons into it? This isn’t about them, it’s about their riders. If you hate Rhaenyra, you hate Rhaenyra. You don’t need to start bitching about her dragon because of it. The dragons are innocent. In fact the whole show is about how the dragons suffered and died out because of people. Please don’t hate on the dragons.
"By royal decree, each of the Velaryon boys was presented with a dragon’s egg whilst in the cradle. Those who doubted the paternity of Rhaenyra’s sons whispered that the eggs would never hatch, but the birth in turn of three young dragons gave the lie to their words."
Fire and Blood: Heirs of the Dragon: A Question Of Succession
One of my favourite parts of the Dance is that this was a real thing they did. They gave Rhaenyras sons eggs to proof that they weren't bastards.
When Rhaenyras mother was half Arryn and she had no issue claming a dragon, Rhaenys mother was half Bartheon and she had no issue claiming a dragon and Alicents children are all half Hightower and had no issues claiming dragons.
Which works in universe really well, but from a modern perspective it's just really funny to think that they belived that dragons cared about human marriage.
Sure this gigantic fire breathing lizard totally cares that some random guy blessed you otherwise it wouldn't hatch from it's egg.

THE DRAGONS AND THEIR RIDERS In House of the Dragon (insp.)
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SEASON 2 APPRECIATION WEEK day 1 — dragons
Riders and their Dragons
By Anabel Rossi
Now that I have finished all the Fourteen Flames of the Valyrian Pantheon, I decided to do a family tree. Due to the incest, it’s a bit confusing lmao
A little summary:
Terrax (the known world, “Earth”): is the antithesis of Chaos and her creation was set up by Fate. She is the Mother of all Creation, the light that came out of the darkness, the organization of the world from the chaos of cosmos. She is soil and earth and creates Arrax as her companion and they have six children together.
Arrax (Urano): The known world’s sky. Essentially the atmosphere that separates Terrax and the world she built from cosmos (the reign of chaos). Arrax is the first son of Terrax, and becomes her companion, husband and the father of her six children. He betrays her by trying to destroy all her creation and is slain and banished by his children with her aid. In many legends, he fathered Meleys with his daughter, Syrax.
Meraxes (Jupiter): the youngest of Terrax and Arrax’s children. She leads the war against Arrax and later banishes Terrax. The Queen of all the Gods, she becomes the Goddess of the Sky, giving the seas to her brother Caraxes and the underworld to her brother Balerion. Her sister Syrax becomes the new Goddess of earthly life and Vermithor forges the volcanoes. She marries her sister Shrykos, Goddess of marriage and family. She has many kids. Vhagar and Tyraxes with Shrykos, her wife. Vermax, by herself. Perzys and Tessarion with Vermithor. And in some legends, Meleys with Syrax.
Shrykos (Light of creation): Queen consort of all Gods, married to her sister, Meraxes. Mother of Vhagar and Tyraxes.
Caraxes (Neptune): King of the Sea, married to Perzys, God of Fire.
Perzys (Sun): Caraxes’ queen, and twin to Tessarion, the Sun to her Moon.
Tessarion (Moon): Twin to Perzys. Created by Vermithor and Meraxes, the twins meant to became fire and light in the sky.
Vermithor (the chain of Fourteen Volcanoes): the creator for the Gods, made the moon and the sun with Meraxes, and the fourteen volcanoes in the peninsula to represent all Fourteen. He was the one who started the cataclysmic events of the Doom.
Balerion (Pluto): King of the Underworld, married to his niece Meleys, the Goddess of Love and fertility.
Meleys (Venus): Balerion’s queen, daughter of Syrax with either Meraxes or Arrax. Is coveted by Vhagar, who fell in love with her (one-sided).
Syrax (Vegetation): Took over her mother, Terrax, as Goddess of Vegetation and Earthly life, and has a daughter, Meleys, whose paternity varies between legends.
Vhagar (Mars): daughter of Shrykos and Meraxes, lusts after Meleys.
Tyraxes (Chaos//Cosmus//Fate): son of Shrykos and Meraxes.
Vermax (Mercury): son of Meraxes, turns himself into a dragon to travel between worlds.
I've really fallen in love with House of The Dragon and Jace is definitely my favorite character! I've wanted to try drawing him recently and since I got an iPad I thought one of the first things I'd draw is him! This is just a fun idea for his armor though I know it more than like isn't gonna look like this in the show, I had fun regardless!!

The Dragons of HOTD as Dog breeds for my fic “Last Christmas”
(And reasons why)
Syrax- Labrador Retriever
She's a yellow cutie who's friendly (to an extent)
Vermax- Dalmatian
He has Dalmatian energy there's no way to put it into words
Arrax- Australian Shepard
He's affectionate and good boy
Sunfyre- Golden Retriever
Do I need a reason? He's beautiful and golden
Dreamfyre- Great Pyrenees
Dreamfyre like a Great Pyrenees looks friendly and majestic but will destroy a coyote if need be
Vhagar- Tibetan Mastiff
Vhagar is huge and ancient like this breed plus those eyes look like they've seen war
Tessarion- Weimaraner
Weimaraners are graceful and classified as the color "blue" like the Blue Queen herself
Caraxes- Whippet
If you've ever met a Whippet this is 100% accurate, Caraxes is energetic and almost a wild card
Moondancer- Ibizian Hound
Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous enough said
TBH we all kinda collectively think Latino soap operas are the only ones serving the authentic Latino drama but let's be honest here
What the fuck hotd even is if not the family fighting over their late granpa's house?
