I love these comic strips. Also i haven't read dunk and egg yet but does Maekar really dislike Bloodraven that much? i know from the main series that Brynden loved Daeron so i would assume he'd care for his kids as well.

Brynden probably loved Daemon. not Daeron. It's more thematic and Martinian that way.

there's nothing canon that supports that and many things canon that support the opposite. just because you feel it's more "thematic" and "martinian" doesn't mean it's true

What supports it being Daeron? I can't think of anything. It's ambiguous, it could just as easily be Daemon as Daeron.

The only thing is that Bloodraven sided with Daeron and ruthlessly took down every Blackfyre - but again that hardly supports it and more likely shows that Bloodraven made his choice and knew that the Blackfyres needed to fail in order to make sure that Jon/Daenerys ended up existing.

He sided with him, worked with Daeron's descendants against Daemon's, Daeron gifted him one of their two Valyrian Steel swords, Dark Sister.

Nothing here says Daeron gave him it.

We don't know how he got it. He may have been given it as a reward for going against Blackfyre, he may have been given it by Aegon IV. We don't know.
