So, Rhaenyra and Mysaria kissed each other on House of the Dragon. It came as somewhat of a shock for fans of the show who genuinely didn’t see it coming.
People have been holding out hope that Rhaenyra would reconcile with Daemon Targaryen at some point.
Is it possible for that to be on the table anymore now that she’s interested in Mysaria?
Here’s what fans of the show are saying about everything.
A Redditor launched a thread to start a conversation about Rhaenyra and Mysaria’s kiss.
They wrote, “What do y’all think of the Mysaria and Thaenyra scene? To be honest, I don’t mind the relationship. After all, Rhaenyra is literally married to her uncle and she’s not the first Targaryen to be gay or bisexual.”
Someone who saw leaked details about the episode before it aired responded by saying, “When I first read the leaks, I thought that it was one of Daemon’s hallucinations. But as it was apparently real, I fear this will end badly for Rhaenyra since I don’t trust Mysaria at all.”
Another fan added, “I also don’t trust Mysaria. For me, her scene with Rhaenyra parallels the Larys and Aegon scene. Both may be just trying to manipulate the weakness and vulnerability of both claimants.”
Someone else who’s a bit annoyed by the kiss wrote, “I don’t like the introduction of another romantic subplot love-triangle in this phase of the series. It’s not even enough time to do all the established personal relationships justice, plus the politics, plus the actual war. On another note, I disliked the timing of the kiss. Either Mysaria is playing Rhaenyra for personal gain, or it’s super weird that she initiated a kiss right after talking about being sexually abused.”
Someone else with similar thoughts added, “I was hoping to see Rhanerya’s wild side on the battlefield, not in the bed!”
Someone else joined the conversation to say, “Tbh, I will say I don’t mind it. However, I feel like there wasn’t enough build-up to this? I’m not against them having a fun tryst or whatever they end up being.”
Another social media user wrote, “It definitely felt a little random. I guess I just need to see more of it to understand where it might be headed if it wasn’t just a one-time thing. When Rhaenyra and Daemon inevitably make up, maybe it hits Mysaria hard to the point of turning Rhaenyra against him and making her paranoid?”
Additionally, someone chimed in with, “I’m all for a queer Rhaenyra and queer relationships featured in the story overall, but I personally don’t see any real chemistry between them so it fell a bit flat for me.”
Overall, it seems that many House of the Dragon fans didn’t care for the romantic moment between Rhaenyra and Mysaria.
A few positive comments about their connection are sprinkled across the internet, of course, but the overall consensus is that it felt a bit unnecessary.
A lot of people are truly still rooting for Rhaenyra to reconnect with Daemon. What do YOU think of Rhaenyra and Mysaria’s kiss? Let us know your thoughts section below.
