You can’t win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you’re badly developed, be morally corrupt and you’re hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you’re a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you’re just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.

SOPHIE TURNER as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones 8.06

it's the fact that aemma BEGGED viserys not to harm her while she was dying. she SCREAMED at the top of her lungs, she repeatedly said that she was scared and asked what was going on and NOBODY answered her. nobody cared about her from the moment viserys prioritized the child. they don't even tell this pregnant woman who's literaly on the verge of exhaustion that they're going to move her to open her belly !!! viserys hears her screams, her begging and holds her hand and yet not once does he pity her enough to truly care about her. and don't talk to me about the rest of the court, they don't even care to tell rhaenyra that her mother is dying. she is happy and cheering on the tourney and no one even bothers to tell her what's going on, even so that she can say goodbye to her mother. what an UGLY man.

People like this should ask themselves what authority they have over someone's life to speak with such self importance and if the person they're addressing knows them or values their opinion. The answers to all the above is a resounding NO. Leave actors the hell alone.

You don't know the half of the abuse.

I will never forgive HOTD for making me sit through TWO Rhaenyra births and TWO Rhaenyra weddings…

But never having us see Alicent’s wedding or births. Scenes that would have forced the fans to confront the true reality of how despicable her situation is. It would force viewers to see a child, devastated, as she walks down the aisle to her creepy old man of a husband. It would force viewers to watch a little girl have a child. Completely unprepared and alone, crying for her mother and finding no sympathy. She has no father to protect her. No mother to guide her and comfort her. No husband who cares about her.

It would force team black to stop seeing her as the evil seductress, for even a moment. And see her true vulnerability. See how she doesn’t, and never did, want this. See how these are not consequences of her actions, but instead the consequences of the men around her that she has to suffer for them. Because they don’t care about her. Viserys doesn’t care about her.

These are scenes that are meant to bring sympathy to her character. To give Alicent a reason to be righteously angry at the family and system that broke her down and stole her childhood. It gives Alicent a valid motive to fight aside from fear. And it takes away the chances for team black to deny her suffering at least a little bit.

Because as the current narrative sits, it’s easy to ignore Alicent’s experience and warp it into a much more pleasant story. They see Alicent “seducing” the king and then she is already married. And then she’s pregnant and the babies magically appear. No screaming or crying or bleeding involved. All is good. The teenager definitely didn’t suffer at all. And by doing this some people can’t sympathize as much or they are given allowances to intentionally not sympathize.

Instead. The current narrative allows for Alicent to be the seductress, the crazed woman, the jealous bitch, and the villain. But if we saw what she actually went through. Alone, scared, suffering, neglected, and holding it all in. We would be allowed to see her as she truly is. The victim. Finally crushing under the weight of it all and lashing out.

(And the narrative would be all the better for it because instead of feminist icon team vs crazy trad wife and co (as far as team black sees it), we would have woman fighting against patriarchal narrative for her own claim vs woman fighting against patriarchal narrative to destroy the people who hurt her)

I've been joking that I'm looking forward to Criston's homicidal grandpa arc, but seriously, this moment is going to make me go insane. We're actually going to see Criston spend time with all three four of his children this season. But this moment is gonna be incredible. Because he's rushing for Aegon and Aemond, most likely having just watched them fall from the sky, their dragons entangled with Meleys. He probably thinks he's about to find nothing left, that they're both dead and it will be his fault because this was his plan, his idea.

Those are his children. He knew Aegon and Helaena from when they were babies, odds are he was right outside of Alicent's chambers when Aemond and Daeron were born. He likely heard Aemond and Daeron's first cries of life, probably walked with Alicent when she had to present them to Viserys hours later.

I swear to God, if that leak about Criston carrying Aegon is true, I will be passing away. 😭
