will we see Bethany again in story?
Yes, but not for a while. Luce doesn’t really interact with Bethany during The Golds, so if Bethany appears in Compromise, it won’t be until Arc 3.
I have thought about how I want Bethany’s story to continue. She’s not going to be a main or POV character, but it would be interesting to see how her traumatic experience shapes her and affects her dealings with the Targs.

Perhaps the boldest letter [suggesting Aegon's new wife] came from the irrepressible Lady Samantha of Oldtown, who declared that her sister Sansara (of House Tarly) “is spirited and strong, and has read more books than half the maesters in the Citadel” whilst her good-sister Bethany (of House Hightower) was “very beautiful, with smooth soft skin and lustrous hair and the sweetest manner”, though also “lazy and somewhat stupid, truth be told, though some men seem to like that in a wife”. She concluded by suggesting that perhaps King Aegon should marry both of them, “one to rule beside him, as Queen Alysanne did King Jaehaerys, and one to bed and breed”. And in the event that both of them were “found wanting, for whatever obscure reason”, Lady Sam helpfully appended the names of thirty-one other nubile maidens from Houses Hightower, Redwyne, Tarly, Ambrose, Florent, Cobb, Costayne, Beesbury, Varner, and Grimm who might be suitable as queens. (Mushroom adds that her ladyship ended with a cheeky postscript that said, “I know some pretty boys as well, should His Grace be so inclined, but I fear they could not give him heirs”, but none of the other chronicles mention this affrontry, and her ladyship’s letter has been lost.)

Bethany Hightower (TargWh0re's Version)
Tumblr media
Daughter of Ormund Hightower and his first wife
Younger sister to Lyonel, Martyn, and Garmund
Her Step-Mother is Samantha Tarley (Lady Sam) who later becomes her Good Sister after she marries Lyonel
Nicknames: Beth, Bethany, Little Beth, Little Bethy, Green Bethy, Little flower
Was sent to Kings Landing at a young age to be a ward to Queen Alicent
Is Alicents favorite bc when she's around her brothers and her cousins she actually reminds Alicent of a younger version of herself
Aegon tried to prev on her at one point but now he just likes to tease her (in a cousinly way) and kinda sheilds her from things
Tumblr media
(This picture is so them credit to meilian.art on Tik Tok)
Hairstyles:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Prefers to keep hair up most of the time bc she doesn't like it on her neck and likes to decorate it with jewels, and flowers, and feathers)
Dresses:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sticks close to Daeron and Helaena at family gatherings
Religious but struggles with it bc she blames herself for her mom dieing since it was giving birth to her
Is intimidated by her Step-Mom/Good Sister Lady Sam
Is shy and reserved, especially aeound new people or people she isn't comfortable with which makes alot of people things she's stupid and lazy when in reality she's very intelligent and vivacious when in reality she just prefers to do things on her own without people watching her bc she has anxiety and it makes her uncomfortable
She plays the perfect part, but secretly sneaks out with her brothers sometimes, they go to there secret spot and there she's her true self and she'll drink with them and sing baudy songs and just laugh through the night which is music to their ears bc she never laughs her true laugh in public
Randomly snaps back or saying something witty out of nowhere every once in a while and it shocks everyone (she's laughing internally)
Loves to pick flowers and garden. Could tell you a thousand usless facts about plants and flowers and their properties and uses. Helaena is the only one who will listen to her, everyone else just pretends to, dismisses her, or won't even do that. But she also has to listen about Helaena's bugs in turn which she doesn't mind
One time Bethany was gardening and Helaena was digging for bugs and when they came back inside, Bethany with her rare flower and helaena with her bug, Alicent didn't have the heart to yell at them for tracking dirt in and instead let out a big sigh, smiled, and listened to them rant about the two things for hours
Loves to read. Mostly romantic stories like Florian and Jonquil, Symeon Star-Eyes (which Bethany compares Aemond too when she sees his sapphire, and just stares at it with wonder and awe, not a hint of disgust, actually making him blush) but she also enjoys a good history book which she bonds with her cousin Aemond about.
Loves to laugh and is funny. She has a dark sense of humor though that not really many people get. (Just imagine no one laughing except for Helaena clapping and giggling, everyone else looks at her with concern "are you okay?")
Loves to ride horses (races the dragons shadows as they fly above her, whooping and hollering at her from above)
Loves to look at the stars and would look through the Maesters looking glass and listen to them list facts about them with a dreamy smile on her face.
Loves to jump in mud puddles while it's raining. Laughing and ignoring the Septa's scolding.
Likes to catch fireflies in jars and use them as nightlights.
Loves and is really good at hide and seek bc it gives her time alone
Has no wish to get married and begs and pleads with Alicent not to marry her off. She takes pity and keeps postponing bc she doesn't want history to repeat itself like her having to marry Viserys

The fact that this teams and stan crap is leaking over into real life again, needs to stop. Seriously, it's not a big deal if you want to keep things seperate so you don't wander into a fandom space you don't want to be in, but lashing out at the actors? Inexcusable.
First it was Fabien Frankel's social media comments being filled with hate for Criston Cole and for Fabien himself. Then it was Tom Glynn Carney's. Fabien has had to deactivate his socials several times and TGC's is handled by a manager now.
Then someone literally got in Olivia Cooke's face when she was minding her own business in a bar and called Alicent a "cunt".
Folks bitching at Harry Collet for being Team Black - HUH? Did you expect him to be Team Green? Give me a break.
And now it's racist crap being thrown at Bethany Antonia.
This needs to stop.
It's a fucking show. It's not that deep. It's a show.
Get some mental help if you struggle to seperate the two.

i saw such a good post that discussed the racism that bethany, steve and phoebe went through, how their characters were reduced, how their plots were disrupted, how the script was cut for their scenes, etc. I wanted to share it but then OP decided to use the post to bash olivia cooke, and it just...kinda pissed me off.
Op was upset that olivia cooke had bath scenes, and somehow, connected that to the reduction of the black character's screen time. and it just really really made me upset because here you have such a good post about racism, but in the end, you don't actually care about racism, you're just using the plight of black actors to be weirdly misogynistic to olivia - an actress who herself faces more misogyny, abuse and harassment than anyone in the cast.
of all the things you can bring up - you bring up olivia cooke. you don't bring up how, since s1, the black actors plots have revolved solely around rhaenyra and daemon, you don't bring up how in s2, the baela is literally just created to be a cheerleader for jace and rhaenyra, and her only purpose is uplifting them and being their mouth piece. to the point where her relationship with her grandfather is completely written out to uplift rhaenyra.
you don't bring up how phoebe's whole character is reduced to being a nurse maid for rhaenyra's children, and then at the end, only the very end, she comes across sheep steeler - and mind you, that is nettles plot. so we can also talk about how the show runners are now just seeing black character's plots as interchangeable which is racist in itself.
the reality is that the lack of scenes and development for the black characters is greatly tied to the white characters they interact with the most. That is Rhaenyra, Daemon and Jace. You can't tell me that their narratives aren't inexplicably connected to their white counterparts, to the point where they just have no agency. From s1, that's how it's been. The show has greatly, GREATLY, reduced them in order to make space for the white characters on team black. Laena was treated terribly by Daemon to make space for Rhaenyra, season 2 things aren't better. Better exists to coddle Jace, reinforce her love for Rhaenyra, and that's it. She isn't even allowed to have a relationship with Corlys because her whole narrative is centered around Rhaneyra. Corlys himself gets shamed for mourning LMAO,
There are certain reasons that Black characters are shelved, there is certainly racism and erasure that comes into play. But if you looked at the show, and you are seriously sitting here and just blaming Olivia Cooke - an actress who faces misogyny and abuse by the general public - then you don't actually care about Black characters.
