call me crazy if you want. but i would love to see percy and sally go to therapy together. because these two have so much to unpack. the trauma. the codependency. the separation anxiety. the unspoken, pre-determined grief sally refuses to talk about. the unspoken, blood-coiling anger percy refuses to address. the potential is there. and i need it so badly.
Bowing her head in defeat, Queen Alicent surrendered the keys to the castle, and ordered her knights and men-at-arms to lay down their swords. "The city is yours, princess," she is reported to have said, "but you will not hold it long. The rats play when the cat is gone, but my son Aemond will return with fire and blood."
FIRE AND BLOOD by George R.R. Martin
That is insufficient. Aemond has been damaged, permanently, My King. "Good will" cannot make him whole. There is a debt to be paid. I shall have one of her son's eyes in return. He can choose which eye to keep, a privilege he did not grant my son.
— Queen Alicent Hightower

Rio: I've been going on some dates. Dating actually.
Miles: Oh, right.
Rio: And there's this one guy, I've seen him a few times and it's...well, it's going well.
My hot take is that it should have been Rebecca, not Ted, who talked to Jamie about his father in 3x11. Here are my reasons:
1. So much of Rebecca's arc is about recovering from an abusive relationship while her abuser is still, somewhat unavoidably, part of her life. Her experience with Rupert and Jamie's experience with his father aren't identical, but she knows better than anyone else at Richmond how it feels to have someone like that turn up at her place of work, and how stressful their planned encounters are, even when they're just in the same large stadium and don't need to directly interact.
2. As the owner of the club, Rebecca almost certainly knows what happened at Wembley, and she's not only well-placed to make practical arrangements like getting James banned from the match (since none of them knew he wouldn't be there) but also, as of 3x10, has come to terms with with her relationship with Rupert — both the good parts and the many, many bad parts — in a way that enables her to interact with him when necessary without massive emotional distress, while also keeping very firm boundaries in place. Basically, she, unlike Ted, could offer advice based on relevant personal experience.
3. Jamie could finally find out that Ted didn't have him sent back to Man City — while it would be nice for Ted to say it, Rebecca is better placed to give the full story, and she and Jamie have a lot in common when it comes to expressing their hurt in a way that leaves a lot of collateral damage.
i have to admit im loving seeing fernando interacting with all the other drivers that are not carlos, like, partying with george, being besties with lance, sharing a plane with val or exchanging shoes with alex because i remember when he said he didn't really have any friends in the paddock anymore apart from maybe carlos, so seeing him with more drivers creating this random duos makes me really happy 😁
