Welcome to the world of me, a person who has loved Matt Smith since his premiere as the Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who, and ever since. (Yes, I even watched the movie Womb where he plays a clone of a man who is in love with his mother, Eva Green, who used to be his lover before he died.) So when the news came that Smith would be playing Daemon Targaryen on House of the Dragon, I knew one thing for certain: I was doomed to love this character.

Now, I know Daemon’s going to do some bad things and that he’s not someone to praise, but also he’s my new trash boy of Westeros and I am so beyond happy about it. And I’m not alone—the internet has taken to Daemon in a certain kind of way in these first two episodes that feels right and good in the world of being a Matt Smith fan.
