Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower holding their child's hand
House of the Dragon —S1.E7 'Driftmark'
"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."
― Agatha Christie, The Hound of Death and Other Stories

House of the Dragon + art — Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel
"Better to Reign in hell than to serve in heaven"
Moreover, the prince at first refused to be a part of his mother's plans. "My sister is the heir, not me," he says in Eustace's account. "What sort of brother steals his sister's birthright?" Only when Ser Criston convinced him that the princess must surely execute him and his brothers should she don the crown did Aegon waver.... "Rhaenyra has no choice but to take your heads if she wishes her bastards to rule after her" It was this, and only this, that persuaded Aegon to accept the crown that small council was offering him, insists our gentle septon.
The Painting

The head is raised, and there's that tear in his right eye, but the eyes themselves smoulder with silent anger, and clasped, linked hands, and elevated elbowls indicate that the struggle isn't done. His brilliant, glossy, gracefully flowing feathery wings and breathtaking. He's all set to take off. (x)
