#Rhaenyras pov is so blatantly ignored

[lunasglow]

People will understand Alicent’s fear of Rhaenyra for demanding Aemond be “sharply questioned” but forget the ten years of context in which Rhaenyra had to fend for her children against Alicent’s dangerous threats/attacks + how—in one fell swoop—Harwin is murdered, Otto is promoted, and Larys becomes Lord prior to this event…

Oh, but Rhaenyra grasping the opportunity at Driftmark to make Alicent stand down once is “proof” that she is wantonly dangerous?? Please, Rhaenyra was backed into a corner for the majority of S1 and had more substantial reasons to be fearful of Alicent.

Unlike Alicent, Rhaenyra has ten years of definitive proof that Alicent does not care about directly endangering her or her children. Alicent, on the other hand, founds her fears on one lie.
