I cannot get over the ppl on this site who are like, "I just don't understand WHY ppl who like this ship won't let me preach at them as to why it is evil and nasty and they are evil and nasty for liking it!!! so weird! where are all the normal ppl at??"
Like....maybe people just...don't enjoy that? And don't see shipping as an expression or a practice of morality and instead it is a fun activity to do in their free time? If YOU wanna spend your free time talking about how certain ships and characters are evil and bad and nasty, then far be it from me to stop you but if people don't wanna play in the same way as you, that doesn't make them bad or weird. Just different.
Secular christianity sure does have a chokehold on fandom these days huh???
its so funny that s1 criston is like "can we run away together" and rhaenyra rejects him and s2 alicent is like "can we run away together" and rhaenyra rejects her and s2 larys is like "can we run away together" and aegon is like yk why the hell not??
also also this may just be in my head but there was a moment when Alicent realized it was Rhaenyra in disguise and she was right back to her younger self exasperated by Nyra's sheer dumbassery and bullheadedness. it was the quickest exchange and it was SO GOOD.
I know the struggles of the smallfolk of King's Landing. They will be ruled either by you or by the usurper. And only one of you has shown yourself to be merciful.
they really put alicent in bridgerton blue on the reunion and genuinely expected me to think that she didn’t in fact march all the way to dragonstone to get wifed up? bfr
the way they use criston's cape to showcase the nuances in his relationships with rhaenyra versus alicent is so fascinating to me. rhaenyra takes his cloak off without asking. alicent puts his cloak on, but only after criston asks her to. rhaenyra does not understand the weight of what she takes from criston; while criston trusts alicent to return what rhaenyra took. getting at the ways in which both alicent and cirston have been in unbalanced dynamics with viserys and rhaenyra respectively and how criston respects alicent because he knows she can truly understand what it's like for him in this regard.
