Tyrosh Lannister Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 She is shown having speaking in prophetic riddles (which come true about the eye for example ). So she has prophetic dreams or visions. King viserys also believes his prophecy dreams . Why is he not paying more attention to what his daughter Helaena dreams or speaks ?

The hairy bear Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'd say Viserys doesn't pay much attention to his children with Alicent. We saw that when Aemond lost his eye, and he didn't seem particularly concerned about his well-being. The reasons for that may be a combination of Viserys' precarious health, Alicent's overbearing and overprotective attitude towards her offspring, and the fact that the older one turned out to be an idiot.

EggBlue Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think he loves his children* (though, Rhaenyra is the clear favorite) but he doesn't have the patience and energy he had when Rhaenyra was growing up due to his declining health . so, he doesn't know them enough and probably Alicent who seems to think Helaena's weird , wouldn't inform Viserys about Helaena's prophecies which she probably doesn't understand at all. in the book, Viserys's second favorite child seems to be Haelena . I hope we see that in the show. * in ep3 we saw how caring Viserys was towards Aegon and in ep 6 he liked watching the boys practice , even called Aegon for being rude . and even in ep7 he was truly angry about what happened to Aemond and was desperate when he said "I can't restore his eye".

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I wonder what Helaena's prophetic abilities mean for Blood and Cheese. Will she be able to predict it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kinda predicted it in this weeks episode: "Beware the beast beneath the boards" Might be blood and cheese entering the room shes in from a trapdoor in the ground. beast could also refer to the rat Larys Strong, who might be disguised as Cheese.

After this weeks episode, with Viserys rambling about the prophecy to her, do you think she believes he was just speaking nonsense or will she take prophecies more seriously from now - including Helaena's visions?

I was just thinking about that scene, and also because of the absence of Maelor. Book spoilers/prediction Spoiler It would be within this aspect of her character if when they come into the room, and the choice is given to her between Jaeherys and Jaehaera, she replies in a sad tone something like "Why? You've already decided." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 But if she will be able to predict it, then she might not be as traumatised by the event. Which is the point of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visions or dreams that come to her might appear in a literal sense (a literal beast beneath the boards).she needs to interpret them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLightning Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I just realized that Helaena said that Aegon was the beast beneath the boards in episode 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
