Corlys Velaryon: Always brings something from somewhere interesting

Meet Corlys Velaryon, aka the Sea Snake, the guy who never shows up empty-handed, always armed with something fascinating from some far-off place.

You better believe there would be a culinary adventure as soon as this man steps into your humble abode, because this well-seasoned lord would absolutely spice up your gravy with exotic flavors from distant Essos, turning your ordinary Thanksgiving tukey-and-stuffing-shenanigans into a feast fit for royalty.

With a cargo hold full of tales from his high-seas escapades, this wonderful and delightful guest would turn your dinner table into a lively hub of excitement and flavor. Can you imagine the little kiddos crawling up on his lap to hear about sea monsters, pirates, and all his incredible adventures out in the wide world? It’s be a priceless, wholesome and delicious day.

Helaena Targaryen: The sweet one

Helaena Targaryen would be the sweetest addition to any Thanksgiving feast. This delightful dreamer and dragon enthusiast brings a touch of warmth and charm to the table, making her the perfect guest for a day of gratitude and gobbling.

Known for her kind spirit and skill for turning even the most mundane stories into enchanting tales, Helaena is sure to add a dash of magic to your Thanksgiving gathering. She’d play with the children and probably relax, so long as her stupid brother-husband Aegon wasn’t around to bother her. It would be a day filled with laughter, joy, some dancing, and perhaps a dragon-shaped dessert surprise. With Helaena around, our Thanksgiving is guaranteed to be as sweet as pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, joy, and feasting, but not everyone is welcome at the table. I actually have standards and would only invite people who’d bring out the best in everyone who sits at my table. In the spirit of keeping my sanity intact and preventing a Westeros-worthy clash, let’s take a moment to look at the three House of the Dragon characters who would turn our Thanksgiving into a chaotic disaster if they were allowed on the guest list.
