i really think the storm’s end scene reflects well the complex dragon and dragon rider bond. Even before taking off, we see Arrax really nervous, and while Luke tries to calm him down, he’s feeling the same way and Arrax absorves his feelings (we can’t also forget he’s a young dragon).
Aemond wants to scare Luke and teach him a lesson, and Vhagar feels what he’s feeling. Luke felt fear so Arrax acted out to protect his rider. And Vhagar then decides to act on her own. Arrax’s attack and Aemond’s feelings are decisive. (We shouldn’t also forget Vhagar is an old dragon and experienced in battle).
And you can see both of them trying to make the dragons stop and obey them… Clearly both the dragon acted on their own, but based by the feeling of their riders.
After Luke’s death, Aemond’s reaction isn’t a pleased one at all, you can see it in his face, he’s feeling shocked and I believe it’s because he knew Luke’s death would mean an open war, and he must also be surprised by Vhagar not obeying him. And remember that Vhagar also didn’t want to obey Laena when she said dracarys.
Let’s also not forget the words of Viserys: “The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion.” Dragons are not slaves, they’re still creatures of their own. And they disobeyed even in the books (including Drogon, in the books and the show).
So…. I think the scene makes sense as it is… but it’s just my opinion idk what you guys think
Ok my first reaction was I didn’t like how the dragons disobeyed their riders like that, but after thinking about it I think it’s kinda brilliant when it comes to the behaviors of dragons.
First, both Arrax and Luke were really young and had absolutely zero combat experience. As soon as they saw Vhagar, it’s very obvious they simultaneously became a lot more tense. Then after Luke had his encounter with Aemond and left you can see Arrax looking in the direction of where Vhagar was in clear distress and Luke does the same thing before mounting. Luke realized their anxiety was high and he did his best to calm Arrax down before taking flight, but that all went out the window as soon as Vhagar gave chase. Now you have a child and a very young and small dragon that are bonded together in a very scary situation: being chased down by a behemoth in the middle of a raging storm (poor Arrax was flapping his wings as hard as he could) I personally think Arrax went on the offense to try and protect both himself and Luke, if only to give them a chance to escape. Both of them did the best they could.
Then you have Vhagar, an extremely old, massive, experienced dragon that is bonded to an inexperienced rider who is feeling a lot of unhinged rage and resentment. They were flying in attack maneuvers ffs I doubt she thought it was a game. And then this little dragon has the audacity to breathe fire in her face. Of course she’s not going to deal with that shit, as utterly tragic as her response is.
At the end of the day, dragons are not mindless war machines that will obey every command. They’re very powerful animals. No matter how trained or bonded with their owners they are, very powerful animals can and will do what they want.

He was soooo small.
I ... I can't 💔💔💔💔💔💔
The dragons having personalities and character traits is really fun. I live for the background info that Caraxes is a lovesick SoundCloud rapper with a crush on Syrax
These two have my WHOLE heart. I’m a sucker for dragons.
This two and Syrax, Seasmoke, Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegal and so on.....

Violet’s Letter
To my beloved Major Gilbert.
How are you? I hope all is well with you. Where are you right now? I hope you are not stressed out. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Many seasons have passed, but I am still waiting for your return. At first, I did not understand. I did not understand any of your feelings. But I started learning about emotions, from this new life you have provided me. Through writing letters for others. Through the people I have met. I still believe you are still alive out there somewhere. That is why I will continue to live my life. I may not know what lies ahead, but I will simply live. And if we should ever meet again, this is what I would tell you. I now understand what the words… ’I love you’ mean.
