“I think there’s actually still hope, even with Luke’s death,” Condal said on the House of the Dragon podcast. “The problem moving forward is it’s only so much in Alicent and Rhaenyra’s control anymore. Now we’re dealing with their sons and what we know from history is that war is often fought by the young 16-22 year old angry, testosterone loaded sons of the people that are trying to hold onto their power.” - okay, Rhaenyra's only daughter dies, her beloved son dies but yeeeah her friendship with abuser - woman who wasn't even her friend for last 20 years - is more important. And Rhaenyra is freakin queen. And moving forward is out of her control. What?

“It’s not even Alicent’s fault,” Condal said. “It’s actually her father’s fault and Viserys’s fault. They didn’t even realize it was their fault at the time, but again that’s why this is a Greek tragedy. - Yes, we get it, Alicent is Mary Sue, she never does anything wrong. Even in asoif and GoT main Martin's MS like Jon, Daenerys and Tyrion and just MS like Arya, Sansa and Bran have to pay a price to be in that position.

Rhaenyra spent many years of her life learning how to be a queen by attending councils, sitting at the king's side when he held court, rulling Dragonstone (not only the castle, but villages, small town and its vassals)

Aegon and greens: drink, plotting, drink
