[elainiisms]

every time i see a female character garner lots of hate she immediately becomes my favourite and i take my role as her defence attorney

[newts-gay]

where is my alicent “i shall have one of her son’s eyes in return” hightower?

where is my alicent “you may do as you wish husband, when i am cold in my grave” hightower?

where is my alicent “congratulations, stepdaughter. what a blessing this is for you” hightower?

where is my alicent “do keep trying ser laenor, sooner or late you'll get one that looks like you” hightower?

AND

don’t even get me started on alicent “bastard blood shed at war” hightower

she would have been way too powerful for anyone’s screen (especially with olivia’s brilliant performances) and tb stannies kept her from us

I am at last myself. With no ambition greater than to walk where I please and to breathe the open air. To die unmarked and unnoticed and be free.

You and I have begun to blur. We're conjoined.

Curious if either of us can survive separation.

[old-valyrian]

Rhaenyra, born into a dynasty and birthright, the only thing she's ever known. She never had to be married to secure her position in society, she was born into it, regardless of her position of inheritance of the Iron Throne, and her father never treated her as anything other than a daughter. For Rhaenyra, the prospect of marriage has always been about finding a suitable match, not a better one, because there is no better.

Alicent, born to a noble house, very much its pawn and its future. Marriage is an alliance not only for her but for her family, and for the security and wellbeing of children who needed to be their father's more than hers because it was their father's house who would grant more security. For Alicent, even if only subconsciously, marriage has only ever been about safety, and duty.

And it explains why they're such different mothers. In Alicent's mind her children were never really hers, they were Viserys'. How could she be a mother to them, comfort them and raise them, when, as far as she knew, motherhood mattered less than childbirth? Her children, once separate from her body, were not and could not be hers.

Rhaenyra is her absolute foil. In contrast, for Rhaenyra's children, it was their mother that mattered most and her children could only ever be truly hers, more than their father's. She could afford to be their mother, and comfort and raise them, because she never had to deal with the prospect of her children being anyone else's.

And it's what makes the difference between Rhaenyra comforting Jace, and Alicent walking away from Aegon, so profound. Where Rhaenyra has always been able to be a mother to her son, as far as Alicent is concerned, Aegon has never been her son. He's been Viserys'. And now, not only does she lack the connection with him to offer him comfort, but she's entirely unfamiliar with the degree of his grief and loss because while Jahaerys was Aegon's son, Aegon was never truly hers.

[dirtytransmasc]

Alicent and Aegon are so Virgin Mary and Jesus coded, in a sick and twisted way that it barely makes sense, but at the same time just... does.

a mother and her child born damned from the start, yet she loved him to her core, accepting her fate, accepting she would lose him and then herself.

she carried him, birthed him, raised him, loved him, devoted her very being to him... she lost him, grieved him, lost her mind in his absence. the gods her only respite, yet, when she needed them most, when she needed them to protect her son, her baby, her reason for being, where were they?

[elainiisms]

that girl literally has big sad brown eyes like a baby deer and you expect me to be normal about her?????
