alicent not knowing how to comfort her children is kind of my favourite concept ever….. welcome back my immigrant mother who was married too young and with whom i share all my sorrow. her pain is my pain is our pain
alicent just got freed from being married to a targaryen for twenty years and her council thought a greyjoy would be suitable for her……. get behind me alicent
people act like jaehaerys was some lesser lord’s nephew 😭😭 sorry were they just not meant to have a funeral for the firstborn son of their king ?:?:?2£):
viserys actually stresses me out so bad because his good guy act is eerily similar to abusers you see irl. they all present themselves as unassuming and blameless to the point where even thinking they may be at fault feels like a misstep
i think alicent being unable to differentiate between or separate her love and loyalty towards her children (innate) and her love and loyalty towards rhaenyra (familiar) perfectly encapsulates how motherhood was pushed upon her at a time where she was not prepared for it.
people acting like rhaena should be at rhaenyra’s feet because she’s been bestowed the highest of honours (glorified babysitter for siblings she’s been passed up in favour of) make me want to break things
not lost on me how criston is being pushed as most hated character when daemon’s ugly ass was able to get through s1 grooming and abusing without issue
i’m telling you alicent could have carved out viserys’ bones while he was still breathing, ground them down to dust and made him snort them and she’d still have my unconditional support
crazy how in a cast full of chronically offlines we got emily carey who consistently gave us new content and was so excited yet people were still horrible to her
idk i can’t really blame aemond when he and aegon had it literally drilled into them that rhaenyra would harm them and their lives would be forfeit if she were to ever come into power. he’s doing what he literally needs to because all he’s been fed is ‘rhaenyra will kill you’
why do tb get so pissy when you try to discuss family dynamics as not being one dimensional. like in no world would jace and fuckass daemon have a good relationship in the slightest. that isn’t an insult to them it’s just an observation😭
rhaenyra’s dialogue is giving bland i really need the writers to step up because four episodes in and she’s still not said anything of actual substance. just constant iterations of ‘aegon sits my throne’ ‘i’m meant to rule’ ‘i don’t want a war’ 🪦
y’all know damn well she wasn’t gonna hop on dreamfyre and burn people what about that do you not understand. why is aemond canonically righteous but helaena isn’t just because y’all like that white man so much. be fucking for real.
