Although fans of House of the Dragon have been pretty vocal about their attraction to Rhaenyra Targaryen as a character for a while, and after the moment she shared with Vermithor, fans are going even crazier for her.
Vermithor is recognized for being a very aggressive and volatile dragon, but he bowed down to her – and she showed off a lovely little smirk that has fans of the show all riled up.
Here’s what social media users are saying about their attraction to Rhaenyra at the moment.
One House of the Dragon fan launched a Reddit thread to say, “Rhaenyra certainly has an insane face card.”
Someone jokingly responded by saying, “This is the reason why I auditioned to play Syrax.“
As a reminder, Syrax is the dragon Rhaenyra rides.
Another person playfully added, “If I was Vermithor, I’d be shivering too.”
They’re referring to the fact that in the scene, Rhaenyra calmed Vermithor down by taking control of the entire situation.
Another person jokingly chimed in with, “Do we think Vermithor nutted? Can dragons nut?”
Someone else chimed in with, “That high Valyrian she spoke was sexy as hell too.”
Another person added, “I feel like Rhaenyra has a unique, mysterious charisma. The kind that can make you volunteer to probably get burned alive for a slight glimpse at an opportunity to probably get burned alive at a later date defending her honor.”
A separate fan commented, “She legit looks dragon-like. Her eyes and everything.
Someone else complimented her by saying, “Rhaenyra is a total babe in my book.”
Ultimately, the proof is in nearly every social media comment section! Fans are totally crushing on RhaenyraTargaryen right now.
The actor behind the role is Emma D’Arcy, a star who goes by they/them pronouns. When fans of the show are talking about Rhaenyra, though, they’re referring to the female queen who they see on screen.
An entire Instagram page has been dedicated to the character of Rhaenyra right now with more than 75,000 followers reeled in so far.
The feed is full of pictures of Rhaenyra from the start of the show in screenshots from various episodes.
The pics of Rhaenyra range from badass to breathtaking.
