I was looking at bts from Emma D’Arcy + Olivia Cooke photoshoot and realized we’ve never seen adult Alicent truly smile or laugh in the show and possibly never will. There’s been a few instances of a sarcastic/sardonic smile, but the closest I can think of is a brief moment when she is first holding baby joff, or minuscule moments during the 1x08 dinner. But like, we’ve yet to have a true smile of joy from adult Alicent the entire show, which is just really sad.
