RHAENYRA TARGARYEN in House of The Dragon 01.01

[chiaracognigniart]

The walls shielding the heart of politics crumble, and the Realm prepares for war, yet amidst the rising flames, flowers blossom and the rivers slow. But would the Mallister eagle rise above or succumb to the threat..?

I held her once, right then and there, needing to hold something tangible, something alive, so that in death, I wouldn't be so lonely. She struggled to live, I struggled to die, neither of us could win the other. How do I put it? I sought to absorb some smell of life from her, holding onto her tightly, craving her breath, her scent, her restless movements. Behind me was death, so I held her face to face, refusing to let go, afraid to turn away. For if I turned back, I shall turn rigid, cold and rotten.

" When Prince Daemon sent forth his call to arms, they rose up all along the rivers, knights and men-at-arms and humble peasants who yet remembered the Realm's Delight, so beloved of her father, and the way she smiled and charmed them as she made her progress through the Riverlands in her youth. Hundreds and then thousands buckled on their swordbelts and donned their mail, or grabbed a pitchfork or a hoe and a crude wooden shield, and began to make their way to Harrenhal to fight for Viserys's little girl." — George R.R. Martin; Fire & Blood.

Cersei Lannister

She was as beautiful as men said. A jeweled tiara gleamed amidst her long golden hair, its emeralds a perfect match for the green of her eyes.

Prev post about Alyssa Targaryen reminded me how weirdly oversexualised she was in the text despite barely appearing in it. Almost all of her direct speech is about wanting sex or bragging about how much she enjoys having sex. Even while talking to her dragon she mentions "being mounted". The entire castle hears her on her wedding night. Her adult life is literally described as spent either fucking her brother or riding her dragon. Even Saera, who is treated as a demonic sex pest in the book, has more interests than this. A character that is supposed to be a tomboy nonconformist, Alyssa as an adult barely has anything other than her (monogamous and approved by her parents) sexuality.
