Quick question and curious how you all feel about it. I think Daemon and Rhaenyra could make a strong couple eventually, but I found Daemon's actions here to be quite manipulative. He didn't consider her an equal and wanted to spite Viserys. Even if ultimately he regrets it, and can't fully go through with it, the damage was already done. Then he doubles down with the marriage proposal.
Similarly, Rhaenyra took advantage of her power imbalance with Criston. He swore an oath, told her to stop, wanted to leave, clearly looked uncomfortable, and really had to take a breath there before giving her what she wanted. Because, after all, he is in no position to refuse.
Yet, online I'm just seeing a lot of people just shipping Rhaenyra with one of the two. People being unhappy that Daemon didn't go through with it or cheering on Rhaenyra for getting with Criston. Am I being a stickler here? I was genuinely surprised by these responses.
