Honest thoughts on Alicent Hightower?

I have a lot of empathy for women like Alicent Hightower. I know and love quite a few women like her, with similar experiences, and fears, and who make similar decisions. 

Some women who align with the system that is oppressing them do so due to their inability to envision the possibility of freedom. Therefore, they opt to join the oppressive system in the hope of gaining some power from it. They sacrifice their dreams to the patriarchy and more often than not, they're fine with this exchange because they can wield power as wives, as mothers and less commonly as daughters.

Which is understandable, sad but understandable.

It is a miserable existence, and they feel resentment when they see other women who do not want to conform to the narrow lane that patriarchy (especially African patriarchy) designates for us. They become bitter and resentful, but they never direct that bitterness towards the men who are oppressing them. They direct their bitterness towards the women in their lives, bucking patriarchal oppression as best they can, instead of the men who are actively oppressing them. 

It makes them very dangerous. Women whose entire identity is tied to the men in their lives will gladly set you on fire to keep a man, any man, warm. They'll rarely encourage men to hurt you explicitly, but they'll cheer when they do. They'll tell you that being hurt by the patriarchy is the price that you have paid for stepping out of line. For daring to aspire to more than three predetermined roles that women are destined for.

My whole life has been balancing my love and my anger at the patriarchy princesses in my life. How do you love someone who is in community with people who want you dead? In my experience, painfully and from a distance.

If coming across or engaging with posts with an opinion that differs from your own in the HotD fandom (where there are two very distinct sides) has you feeling so strongly about it that you feel the need to go into the OP’s inbox to insult them and send hate- please reevaluate the amount of time you’re spending online and in this fandom and remove yourself from the space because it is not normal to behave in this way.

The block button (including for tags) exists for a reason.

Can Daemon actually speak to his daughters in this coming season please!!!!! Like it’s crazy that the show really tried to spin it like he doesn’t care, when Book Daemon loved ALL his kids and that includes his StepKids.

I have an incredibly low tolerance for nuisances and unnecessarily rude people on here and I’m not going to entertain it ongoing.

If you want to be an asshole, you can be an asshole without the safety of anonymity. ‘Say that shit with your chest’ so, I can then block you x

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like "Evil volcano inspection unit" and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

sometimes i remember that “you were a child, i spared you” line that daemon says to rhaenyra and the top of my head starts getting hot. the writers/producers involved in that show are so racist that it stops me in my tracks sometimes.

they really lowered laena’s age to victimise her. every single achievement/relationship is stolen from her to prop up white characters. her husband’s love for her is taken away to prop up daemyra. her girlfriend is taken from her to prop up rhaenicent. she can’t go home because of reasons. even her claiming vhagar is taken away to prop up the one-eyed menace.

they hate black people so much that they’d rather have an incoherent, misogynistic mess of a show than stick to a canon where the characters they race bent have actual impact on the storyline. they’re all going straight to hell.
