I love the fascinated look that Daemon has, he’s not scared, he’s amazed. I feel like he is the most Targaryen of all of them, smart, crazy and obsessed with dragons

[aishalady]

Dude came with a torch in front of a dragon, singing. If this is not the definition of badass, I don't know what it is!

One thing I have really enjoyed about this show is how cultured they've made it. Meaning that they've given so much depth in Targaryen culture, language, customs. It's like I almost feel that these people once existed in history.

I love the respect Daemon has for the dragons. He’s not at all frightened by Vermithor, it’s more awe. And even if Vermithor isn’t Daemon’s dragon, it’s clear he has some kind of respect for Daemon. And I love how he sings the song Jaehaerys used to sing for Vermithor, he probably misses his old rider, and is happy to hear his song again.

This felt so ancient and majestic. The best scene of the entire episode.

Daemon is more dragon than any in his family; chaotic, impulsive, fiery, so it's no surprise he has such an affinity for them and is more at ease with these ancient beasts than people. His coin has always danced on on that fine line between madness and greatness and he is equal in both. Amazing scene!

Daemon Targaryen singing in High Valerian is so peaceful and beautifully sounding, similar to a lullaby.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Vermithor is the next largest dragon after Vhagar and was called The Bronze Fury. His only rider so far was King Jaehaerys I, the old king we saw in the intro of the first episode and Daemon’s grandfather. Once when Jaehaerys’ reign was young, Lord Rogar Baratheon rebelled against him but was eventually taken into custody by the crown. When Lord Rogar asked the Young King Jaehaerys if he meant to take hostages in return for his treason, Jaehaerys simply made Rogar watch while he fed Vermithor, trusting that was enough to keep him in line… and it was…

Vermithor: You crazy as hell. I'll let you live.

[mineralgrey]

It’s quite connected, King Jaeherys doted on Daemon a lot since he was he’s favorite and ironically enough he was the one that taught Daemon how to sing if I’m not mistaking.

Vermithor probably had heard the song plenty of times, and even though Daemon is bonded to Caraxes, vermithor knows him extremely well.

This is one of the most flawless game of thrones scenes ever made

"King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land." - Ser Barristan to Daenerys Targaryen.
Daemon is the rare occurrence where after hundreds of tosses... the coin actually lands on it's side.

[GemGames]

Vermithor: Bro! I haven't heard that tune in over 40 years! Turn it upppp!

[yoelbecher]

This was the first scene of HOTD we ever saw in the original teaser. Matt Smith as Daemon was everything we could have hoped for and more.

[MajoradeMayhem]

Daemon's actual ambition in life is to boop all the dragon snoots.
No lonely dragon left behind.

[CharLie_]

Dragon: FEAR ME, BOY!!! I WAS THE DRAGON OF KING JAEHERYS TARGARYEN!!
Daemon: **continues singing**

[KR-]

My fav scene of the final episode. Shit was fucking intense and Matt is very talented singer.

[spearshake]

My favorite part from the book is how Jaeherys subtely warned Lord Rogar Baratheon by feeding Vermithor in front of him and having him watch. Its like a subtle "don't ever think to fuck with me" move.

Daemon Targaryen is epitome of Targaryen dynasty. We get a glimpse of old Valyria from his perspective. Fearless, mysterious, majestic, glorious and chaotic at the same time!
