When a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin. Daemon’s landed on its edge.
He does monstrous things and he does good things. That’s the best part of his character.
I really wish they kept that scene in as it shows the love he has for his children. #HouseOfTheDragonHBO pic.twitter.com/BetUxNcsOF— Takane Hironaka (@HironakaTakane) September 28, 2022
