just read a comment theorizing that bc of that video of daemon touching daeron’s face, we might get the nettles/daemon cheating storyline with daeron.

do i believe it? no.

am i horrified by the mere thought? yes.

fucking side note: the amount of transphobia i’ve seen in some tiktok comment sections directed to charlie gordon (the actor playing daeron) is absolutely fucking disgusting and i hope y’all leave him the fuck alone.

from what i’ve seen on his instagram, he identifies as a trans man, so istg that if i see another dumbass talk about “daeron being a girl” i’ll crash the fuck out.

no matter what daeron does on the show, i hope we’ve all learned to separate actors from their characters, and i most definitely hope that none will let their transphobia show by hating on charlie and misgendering him.

do better.

thought about including some examples i’ve seen but honestly, i don’t want to give these idiots space on my feed if not to shame them.

love the cognitive dissonance that can sometimes be found in the fandom.

tg claiming that they can call rhaenyra a whore and her kids worthless bastards bc they were those things according to their world’s standards, and that as a woman rhaenyra had no right to the throne bc again, those were their standards.

well, according to their standards, alicent isn’t a victim, viserys isn’t a perv, daemon isn’t either, and otto didn’t really do anything wrong by selling his daughter to the king bc that’s lowkey what daughters were for, to be married off in order to gain power and make political alliances.

me personally, i can’t just ignore my own set of morals when consuming content, though i have enough brain power to acknowledge that in the asoiaf world things work differently than they do in ours. but i just find it kind of funny how some people only care about “their standards” or “our standards” when it suits their narrative.

[iliveinarainbow]

another thing about alicent.

i feel like whenever i say that i don’t like her character arc in the show, people automatically assume it’s because i wanted her to be evil so i could hate her and side with rhaenyra.

wrong.

my thing is that i feel like they could’ve done more with her. i didn’t necessarily mind the initial changes because i thought we could get a true and honest character arc, but i feel like the show is so dead set on her being a victim that they don’t allow her to be anything but that.

imo they were on the right path for a time, with her slowly coming into her own and understanding how to use the power she’d been given, but then nothing.

like, they gave her the biggest reason to start a war when they had us think that she fully believed that rhaenyra would kill her kids as soon as viserys died, but nothing.

the first thing she does once viserys dies is argue that rhaenyra’s life needs to be spared.

why?

because they were friends 20 years ago?

sara hess said it had something to do with rhaenyra’s toast at the dinner, that after that alicent was like you know what? you can take the throne, idc be the queen, go off.

but that then she misunderstood viserys’ dream and blabla.

but why?

for twenty years alicent believed that rhaenyra would kill the kids for the throne (believed it enough to terrorize aegon into taking it), and honestly after daemon came into the picture, she had very valid reasons to fear that that might just happen.

but then rhaenyra thanks her for sticking by viserys’ side and suddenly everything is fine? what does that have to do with anything?

how does rhaenyra thanking her for being loyal to viserys mean that she won’t kill alicent’s kids?

imo, since they’re so stuck on wanting alicent to appear like the best person with only the best intentions (she’s just a victim of circumstances, nothing is ever her fault), they still could’ve done it whilst letting her have some power and autonomy.

me personally (tw my opinion), i would not have faulted alicent for starting the war if the reason behind it was that she feared for the lives of her kids. that is just about the most noble and (to me) understandable reason you could have.

but no, after 20 years of treating rhaenyra like shit, thinking she’s going to kill her kids and terrorizing her son, rhaenyra says one nice thing and suddenly alicent is pretty much begging for her to be spared.

aemond lowkey had a point when he called her a fool and i really dgaf.

i didn’t want her to be evil, i wanted her to do something.

(also love how you say this, and people bring up the scenes that objectively make her look bad, for example her going to helaena and talking about “what you saw last night” in reference to her and criston, like helaena hadn’t seen two men cutting off her child’s head, which is arguably more impactful than seeing your mom get dicked down. people bring those up and are like “you couldn’t handle that but you wanted her to have an active role in starting the war?” yes jan, yes i did)

one thing is her doing something because she thinks it’s the only way to save her kids, and another is her going to her grieving daughter and talking about shit that does not matter.

(“omg but it’s bc she feels bad, she thinks that it’s all a punishment bc she’s sleeping with criston”, and then she does it again on that same night. her children alone grieving their son whilst she fucks criston. and i hate that to this people say that bc otto never comforted her, she doesn’t know how to do it for her kids. otto’s not the only person/parent alicent has interacted with in her life, we know her mother died some time before aemma did. she saw rhaenyra be a mother and we saw her comforting aemond in s1.

ofc otto’s parenting will have impacted the way she deals with her kids, that’s kind of the point of the cycle of abuse, BUT istg some of y’all act like alicent has never once met anyone but otto, like she lived every second of her life with him alone. her mother died when she was a teenager, she saw aemma and rhaenyra, even viserys and rhaenyra, rhaenyra and her kids. like i said, just bc otto doesn’t comfort her doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what that means. even with viserys, it’s literally one of the first things she says to him, that when her mother died all she wanted was someone to say she was sorry for her.

and now, obviously i can understand why she might struggle to know what to say bc what do you say to someone who just lost a child? especially in such a horrific way. but it’s not all always about otto being a shit dad, bc although she has valid reasons to struggle, that doesn’t erase the fact that alicent is a shit mom. she could’ve not brought up the criston thing, could’ve fought for helaena to not have to sit there whilst her child’s corpse was paraded around - she only spoke up when otto said that she would have to go as well - could’ve just stayed with aegon in silence if she didn’t know what to say, just to let him know he wasn’t alone)

and her selling aegon, idgaf, she’s the one who scared him into thinking he had to take the throne (bc otto told her to blabla ok, she’s still the one who spoke to aegon about it), and then when shit actually went down she gave him up, when he took the throne for her.

and before anyone tells me: “why would she protect/comfort a rapist?”

she crowned a rapist.

thx for coming to my pep talk.

[iliveinarainbow]

my thing with alicent being a victim in the show is that she is one, OBVIOUSLY, but sometimes it feels like the show is so obsessed with her being a victim that they forget that she’s not the only one, by only ever truly focusing on her pain and acting like nobody else has gone through some shit.

for example, i’m still mad about the fact that they never really talk about helaena and aegon being forced to marry each other (one mention about what life is like for her in two seasons, whoop whoop).

in the book (only bringing it up bc due to the time jumps idk what happened in the show) helaena was THIRTEEN when she was married to aegon, and FOURTEEN when she gave birth to the twins.

but the show never talks about that (again, one single mention in two seasons)

i also think nobody really talks about what life was like for rhaenyra and laenor when they first got married, of a gay man and his wife forcing themselves to sleep with each other to try and have a baby (again, one mention in two seasons)

and i can’t fucking wait for them to ignore the fact that alys was a WAR PRIZE and use aemond’s sylvi related trauma to make alys look like some sort of pervy groomer who took advantage of him (ik it hasn’t happened yet, but i feel it in my bones that it will)

and plz, do not get me started on nobody ever speaking on what aemma went through.

like, i completely understand and acknowledge that alicent absolutely is a victim, but she’s not the only one, and i would personally appreciate it if the show at least tried to look like it cared about any character other than her.

also i’m sorry but they just include her in scenes when she’s not needed, like did i really need a snapshot of her praying for luke during his funeral? that moment was meant for luke’s family, the people who truly knew him and loved him, to mourn whatever was left of him.

tf did alicent have to do with that?

i don’t remember them showing rhaenyra crying over jaehaerys in the middle of his funeral.

that’s it, i just had to get that off my chest. no need to get upset if you don’t agree, just my opinion.

[iliveinarainbow]

can i give y’all a theory on what i think is going to happen in s3?

spoiler warning

i think rhaenyra is going to go to kl, and we’re going to get some soft (and stupid, i’m sorry but i just don’t like it) rhaenicent scenes where maybe they reminisce on their friendship (that has been dead and gone for 20 years but the show doesn’t care about that) where alicent is really nice.

and then after jacaerys and viserys die rhaenyra loses her shit (fair enough) and turns against alicent bc she FINALLY realizes that alicent lowkey played a role in the war starting, and she’s going to turn against her.

why do i think this?

bc the show is obsessed with alicent being the sole victim of anything and everything that ever happens, always tries to do the right thing and then poor her people are mean.

mind you, i am not denying that alicent is indeed a victim, but she’s not the only one, something that in my personal opinion the show sometimes forget.

[iliveinarainbow]

accidentally stumbled upon a leaked video from the set of hotd s3 and i’m so confused

-possible spoiler warning(?)

it looks like ormund is giving daeron to daemon?

obv we don’t know the context, so as far as i know it’s some sort of ploy to confuse the audience and make us think something it’s going to happen when it’s not, or it’s aemond hallucinating in harrenhal, or maybe ormund is toying with daemon and daeron is some double agent who’s going to to pull some stunt, idk.

but if that actually happens then ig the daeron the daring plot is out the window, and im sorry but how tf is rhaenyra supposed to lose now?

like, she has alicent, helaena and daeron, ormund’s army is seemingly giving daeron up, ergo possibly not fighting daemon. rhaena has a dragon and nettles is nowhere to be seen, so ig the whole “daemon is cheating on me and i can’t trust him anymore” plot is not there either.

maybe daeron really is given to daemon due to alicent seemingly siding with rhaenyra at the end of s2? (still mad about that btw, idgaf argue with the wall)

i’m so confused.

once again, i do not know the context for that leak i saw, so i have no idea of what is actually going on or what is going to happen next, but still…

i am confusion.

[iliveinarainbow]

i know that a while back i said that i wanted the sunrise on the reaping cast to be age accurate, but i take it back.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT’S AMPERT????

your honor he’s like three apples tall please i can’t do this :(

[iliveinarainbow]

finally got my hands on “Interview with the vampire” by Anne Rice and girl…

why did nobody tell me about the whole plantation situation????

you guys are telling me that the vampires i’ve been babygirlyfying for two whole seasons are slave owners in book canon??

tf.

i knew some things about the books but this was not one of them and i’m shocked to say the least.

(i’ve never seen the og movie, plz don’t crucify me, so idk if this was mentioned there but i’m bamboozled rn)

[iliveinarainbow]

one popular argument within the HotD fandom is “who betrayed who first” when it comes to the downfall of alicent and rhaenyra’s friendship, and to me it’s much more complicated than what some people make it out to be.

also love how we automatically want to pin all the blame on the two teenage girls who were both in shitty situations, and not the men who fucked both of them over and put them in these situations (not saying that alicent and rhaneyra are faultless here, but when i think of who ruined their friendship first, i think of either the father who pimped his daughter out to her best friend’s dad, or the father who entertained an inappropriate relationship with his daughter’s best friend and kept it to himself until the day he announced he’d marry said bestfriend, completely blindsiding his daughter… just saying).

both alicent and rhaenyra think the other betrayed them first, bc both of them see their own lies, or not coming forward with the truth as something they had to do to protect themselves. so they both see the other as being the one at fault for their friendship breaking down.

when it comes to alicent visiting viserys and not telling rhaenyra, i think saying that she simply should’ve gone to rhaenyra or just not have gone to viserys, is in a way erasing the complete and utter deference she shows her father.

otto told her to go visit viserys, so that’s what must be done, and viserys himself told her not to tell rhaenyra (way after they started this thing but that’s not the point).

but also, if anyone had found out about alicent, a young unmarried woman visiting a man, alone, at night sometimes, no chaperone in sight and doors closed, alicent’s reputation would’ve been ruined.

even if both she and viserys swore on every god they believed in that nothing had happened between them, nobody would’ve believed it and alicent would’ve been done for.

bc even if viserys had married her (and i do believe he would have to try and salvage her reputation), people wouldn’t have truly respected someone who they thought had sullied themselves to gain power the second after the queen died (and yes viserys was there but when are the men held responsible for things?… exactly).

and whilst i don’t believe that rhaenyra would’ve told on her if alicent had gone to her from the beginning to perhaps ask for help, i also completely understand alicent’s hesitation bc if rhaenyra had for whatever reason reacted poorly and told someone, alicent’s life would’ve been over, especially since she is the daughter of a second son so not necessarily someone who others would believe over a princess.

so that’s alicent’s reasoning.

on the other hand rhaenyra sees this as a betrayal and i think there’s a couple reasons for this.

1. it’s pretty clear to me that rhaneyra doesn’t truly understand the sense of duty alicent feels towards her father, and how she desperately clings to that bc that’s all she knows. so to her alicent could simply have defied his orders.

2. alicent was rhaenyra’s lady and also her closest friend, so to a certain extent i do believe that if alicent had immediately gone to rhaenyra and told her what otto had ordered her to do, she may have been able to do something to prevent the marriage. not that i believe she would’ve had the power to get viserys to take back his announcement that he would marry alicent. but that if that first night alicent had gone to rhaenyra, and rhaenyra in turn had spoken to viserys about it, maybe she would’ve been able to make him see what otto was planning. but once again this is rhaenyra’s pov, which kinda ignores the need alicent feels to obey otto.

3. rhaenyra knows what otto is. she spent a lot of time with daemon so it wouldn’t surprise me if he had told her all about otto’s schemes and his hunger to rise above his station. so there is a chance that rhaenyra simply thought that alicent had revealed herself to be otto’s daughter from head to toe, and that she like him wanted more power. and to this one might question why rhaenyra would think her best friend capable of betraying her like this, and to that i say that at this point rhaenyra had already been betrayed by people she trusted (ex. daemon with the whole “heir for a day” thing bc she must’ve asked why he got banished, or him stealing baelon’s egg and trying to take dragonstone from her).

so to rhaenyra, she could’ve helped alicent escape this fate if only alicent had immediately gone to her and told her the truth, but to her alicent chose to keep this secret perhaps in search of power.

also love how in that one deleted scene rhaenyra says something like “i can stop this” and people are like “omg she thinks she’s so powerful but she’s not above the king”… ok sorry girly didn’t know what to say after finding out her father is marrying her one friend… tf.

other reason why i hate the time jumps, in that one deleted scene rhaenyra mentions the meetings, how did she find out about that?

so many questions.

side note, i see it all the time people saying that rhaenyra was only mad at alicent and not viserys but like… she didn’t seem that friendly to him either if you ask me.

and when it comes to rhaenyra not telling alicent about criston, i’m sorry to say that i believe the people who stand by the fact that she should’ve told her are stupid.

at this point rhaenyra and alicent were not friends, and they hadn’t been for two years, and rhaenyra probably realized that no matter what her reasoning may have been, she’s the one who pulled away and ignored alicent’s attempts at being friends again, so she knows that from the jump she’s not necessarily in friendly territory.

to rhaenyra alicent is otto’s daughter and viserys’ wife, the queen, a person who in order to gain power for herself and her own son, has reason to tell on her.

and side note that alicent also confronted rhaenyra in a public space, and whilst yes we don’t see anyone, who tf knows if there were servants going around who very well could’ve heard rhaenyra confess if she had, and then gossip to all their friends.

but also, alicent was incredibly hostile in this scene (i get her anger bc of her own situation but that’s not the point), from the get go her tone is angry and the way she presents herself immediately allows rhaenyra to understand that she is livid. she overheard a rumor, she believes it, she disapproves, and she’s mad.

again bc of the things i stated previously about what may have been rhaenyra’s thought process about alicent’s “betrayal” (we don’t know what she thought bc time jumps, i hate the time jumps), she might think that alicent is just like otto and that she wants all the power for herself and her son.

so why would she trust alicent with a piece of information when she has reason to believe alicent would tell both their fathers that rhaenyra had confessed to it, a piece of information that if discovered by everyone in the realm (bc that’s what otto would’ve done if he’d had the chance) could mean utter ruin for her reputation, and could therefore lead her to lose her position.

and yes ik viserys knew but he doesn’t fucking count bc he’s useless, but if we look back at fairly recent targ history, we see a similar situation between jaehaerys and saera and that ended differently to say the least.

so why wouldn’t rhaenyra think that viserys might pull something like that if he received confirmation from his wife, especially since at this point he has a son, so he doesn’t necessarily need her and she knows this.

i mean yeah he says he loves her and won’t replace her, but he also said the same about aemma after impregnating her to death and then entertaining an inappropriate relationship with a young maiden starting the day of her funeral, and remarrying fairly quickly after her death…

so viserys’ love means nothing.

also, people always bring up the fact that alicent defended rhaenyra when talking to viserys, and about that:

1. rhaenyra had no way of knowing that.

2. i do not believe she would’ve done that if she had known the truth. and i’m not saying that bc i think she would’ve seen it as an opportunity for aegon, but bc alicent’s whole life revolves around her sense of duty and honor, and i mean we saw how she reacted when she heard the rumor, she was immediately enraged and went on the attack. so i do not believe she would’ve defended rhaenyra if she’d known that she had fucked criston (esp since i vaguely remember reading somewhere -don’t quote me on this- that emily carey stated that alicent had a crush on criston, so not only had rhaenyra fucked someone she was not married to, therefore going against alicent’s beliefs and doing something she is not allowed to do whilst she’s forced to sleep with viserys, but she also did it with someone alicent had a crush on, which definitely didn’t help).

and on the other hand alicent is just mad that rhaenyra lied bc she doesn’t understand why, we see up until this point (almost) alicent is still desperately clinging to their friendship as the one thing she has left of her old life, so perhaps she thought that in the name of that friendship they once shared rhaenyra would confide in her.

maybe bc in her mind she doesn’t perceive herself or her son as a threat to rhaenyra’s claim, so she doesn’t understand why rhaenyra would think she’d tell on her bc she doesn’t feel she needs to.

(even though i personally don’t really believe this bc again i do think that alicent’s anger and resentment stem more from jealousy than anything else, especially at this point, so imo she still would’ve been livid as fuck even if rhaenyra had been the one to tell her instead of criston. but again this is just me putting myself in alicent’s shoes to understand why she said she could help her bc how? she tells you the truth and then what? you exile daemon and then? you truly would be fine with thinking they fucked and still watching her go on with her life and be queen? i doubt that).

so yeah.

mind you i am not a rhaenyra or alicent die hard, so i’m not trying to claim that one of them was “more right’ than the other, or that either of them is a saint, i just think that in these two instances both of them had every reason to keep things to themselves, but that from their prospectives i can kinda see why both believe the other lied to them and therefore betrayed them.

and obv as viewers we can have whatever opinion on who did or should’ve done what, but i was more thinking about their thoughts.

[iliveinarainbow]

raise your hand if you’re surprised that the one son who was not raised by alicent turned out to be the only decent one: …

great, glad we all agree.

my thing with alicent as a mother is that she is not a good one, and whilst i do 100% acknowledge that she has every reason under the sun to struggle with motherhood considering her circumstances, i find it quite funny how some people still fight tooth and nail to claim she’s the best mother in westeros.

throughout her children’s lives alicent’s main focus was rhaenyra, and her hatred and resentment towards her made it so that raising her children without instilling into them her own unhappiness was not on her list of priorities.

and once again, i do understand why she struggled to bond with them since she didn’t want them in the first place, or at least not how she got them if yk what i mean.

and obv viserys’ negligence did not help, but neither did alicent’s emotional abuse and/or neglect so yk… takes two to make two kids go wrong.

and i also do know that otto’s parenting definitely did a number on her, but i do find it interesting how some people act like he’s the one parental figure she ever came across in her life.

alicent had her mother (who died right before aemma did), aemma herself, viserys (only to rhaenyra and only kind of), and then rhaenyra to look to for good parenting (and olivia cooke has stated that alicent knows that rhaenyra is a better mother than she is but instead of taking some inspo it just made her mad), and yet bc she was blinded by her rage she couldn’t help but continue the cycle that otto had started.

and ig that’s the point.

even with otto in oldtown and a whole decade alone at the keep to try and perhaps rebuild herself, alicent followed otto’s lead.

one thing i will never understand is the people who claim that alicent’s hostility towards rhaenyra only stemmed from her fear for the lives of her children.

and i don’t get that just bc if i really did believe that you would kill my kids, i would not be a bicth to you and make you hate me and perhaps by association my children.

but maybe that’s just me.

alicent’s treatment of rhaenyra was due to her resentment towards her bc as far as she was concerned, rhaenyra got the fairytale ending she never had, bc whilst she was also forced into a marriage she didn’t want, she found an agreement with laenor and had kids with a man she cared for (i think bc due to the damn time jumps who the fuck knows anything about rhaenyra and harwin’s relationship).

and to her that’s not fair bc “where is sacrifice, where is duty?”.

alicent seems to be under the impression that bc she herself was sacrificed for otto’s quest for power, that means she is owed something, but that’s not how things work.

in blindly following otto’s guidance alicent forced her children to suffer as she did, and perhaps without meaning to she is the one who taught aemond how to hold a grudge.

i know we did not see the aftermath of driftmark (i hate the time jumps), but i’m willing to bet that on more than one occasion alicent told aemond that the debt needed to be paid, and paid it was, in full.

(obv not saying that alicent is responsible for lucerys’ death, that’s on aemond who at the end of the day is a grown man who evidently thought that playing tag on a fire spitting war machine would end in anything but someone dying bc smart. i’m just saying that perhaps spending his whole life watching as his own mother never let go of anything taught him a thing or two. but again, he made his bed so it’s his fault).

i think the scene where it’s most obvious that alicent believes she is owed recompense for her suffering is when she told aegon about the sacrifices that were made to put him on the throne (aka her life and happiness), but what i find interesting is how this logic only seems to apply to her.

she got married off to someone she didn’t want, forced to have his kids and become the queen, so her son must sit the throne bc that’s fair ig.

but aegon and helaena who were also married off to each other against their will and forced to have kids are not given the opportunity to not sit a throne they don’t want as payment for their sacrifices.

idk i just find it interesting how alicent’s sympathy only goes so far as self pity, and does not include her own flesh and blood, or even aemma for that matter.

cus if you being sold off like cattle earns your son a throne then why does aemma’s life not warrant her daughter a crown?

and mind you that alicent has every reason to feel bad for herself, not denying that here.

but i do think it’s interesting that she doesn’t seem to understand (or perhaps just doesn’t care) that in following her father, aka the person who fucked her over and she knows this, she willingly sacrificed her own kids and continued the cycle, and yet can’t bring herself to acknowledge that.

also love how in that one scene were aegon was mourning his dead son and she just left him to fuck criston (parenting 101), people brought up the fact that since otto doesn’t care to comfort alicent then she herself doesn’t know how to comfort her own children.

and i’m sorry but that’s just stupid.

we see in s1 that she knows how to hug a child to at least try and bring them comfort, and she is the one who told viserys that the one thing she wanted people to tell her when her mother died is that they were sorry for what happened to her, so she could’ve at least tried to say that to aegon and helaena.

and mind you that this is obviously just about the worst fucking situation one could find themselves in bc the fuck do you say to a parent who is suffering the worst pain imaginable?

but i do think that it’s interesting how some people still claim she’s a good mom when she fully walked out on her child mourning his own, and when she went to her daughter to ask her not to snitch on her talking about “what you saw last night” as if she hadn’t seen her child’s head being sawed off his body, which is probably a bit more impactful and important at this moment than seeing your mom riding dick.

do i get why she’s like this? yes.

does that mean that i refuse to acknowledge that she’s a shit mom and that her being a shit mom fucked her kids over? no.

more than one thing can be true at the same time.

that’s it.

that’s all i had to say.

oh and i removed the option to comment on these posts bc if i’m honest i don’t really care to have anyone else’s opinions on my thoughts bc this blog was made for me to rant, not to debate with people.

[iliveinarainbow]

to have daemon be the one to hallucinate himself fucking his own mother is just…

they really took aemond’s storyline and gave it to daemon huh.

i’m sorry but if there is one crazy inbred blond man who wants to fondle his mom that’s aemond.

[iliveinarainbow]

fuck both rhaenyra and aegon and just give the crown to jacaerys and baela.

when i say i’m team black that’s what i mean.

“but they don’t have experience ruling”…

neither does aegon.

and rhaenyra’s experience is not doing her any favors so at this point who fucking cares.

[iliveinarainbow]

-alfred broome ate.

-baela targaryen ate.

-jacaerys velaryon ate.

-the lords and ladies of the riverlands ate.

-and daemon targaryen fucking ate sadly for everyone who had to sit there and watch it.

what the fuck was that scene.

like actually.

[iliveinarainbow]

alicent being mad that she wasn’t picked as regent is hilarious bc yk… the council took rhaenyra’s throne bc she’s a woman so for you to expect them of all people to give you as a woman any actual power is everything and i love and support the delusion of it all.

talking about how she has experience as regent as if that erases the fact that she is a woman, and is therefore useless as far as the council is concerned, something she knows bc yet again, she is the one who brought up the dream bullshit, they had been scheming for years because rhaenyra is a woman.

also girly pops, rhaenyra also had experience in the council, and as ruler of dragonstone, you know who didn’t? aegon.

you wanted him to be king and yet never bothered to give him any education on how to rule, bc ig you were too busy antagonizing rhaenyra (the person who you believed would kill your kids, so yeah let’s be hostile, great move genius).

and yet you put him on the throne anyways bc he is a man (idgaf about what sara hess has to say about this).

so you only care about having someone with experience be in control when that someone is you huh?

also love how she was like “aemond is deranged, he can’t be regent”, as if she didn’t place a drunken rapist on the throne… ok.

so i’m sorry but i really don’t care about alicent being sad that the council didn’t pick her, since she herself said that it is not a woman’s place to rule, so practice what you preach.

yet again another example of alicent’s hypocrisy.

viserys was blind to rhaenyra’s faults and she told larys she would never do that, only to then silence her son’s victims.

rhaenyra couldn’t be queen bc “one day honor and decency shall prevail”, and then she crowns aegon of all people.

she can fuck criston but rhaenyra can’t.

and she can rule but rhaenyra can’t.

ok queen.

[iliveinarainbow]

just watched someone hallucinate themselves eating out their own mother.

how’s your morning been so far?

i mean it in the kindest way possible when i say that if i’d been armand i would NEVER have let daniel live after this scene.

this is peak desperation, and most importantly peak humiliation, and i simply would never be able to go on with my life knowing that someone who witnessed me in this state is still alive and vibing somewhere in the world.

and yes he did fuck up daniel’s memory but i’m sorry that would not be enough for me.

to get to a point in your marriage where you have to beg a random guy you’ve just met to teach you how to get your husband to find you interesting??

look at my man. a whole ass eternal being who has been alive for centuries begging a 20 something year old to teach him how to be cool.

nah, absolutely not.

i would be forced to kill daniel, and then i would probably just spontaneously combust out of sheer embarrassment bc girl no.

armand my princess you have definitely pulled some stunts but i do feel for you.
