We as a society need to talk more about Rhaenyra just completely ending the friendship to Alicent after finding out about the marriage. She didnโt marry him bc she was greedy, nor bc she genuinely felt anything for him, whatโs not clicking?

S02: According to
@housethedragons
' sources, Emma D'Arcy was seen dressed in a cloak and accompanied by an old man, walking the streets of King's Landing under disguise.
The scene was directed by L. Peristere (EP7).

#HouseOfTheDragons
They insult Alicent for how Aegon turned out but cry their ass off when Viserys is half-dead in episode 8 and calling him โa good manโ as if heโs not the father of Aegon who literally raped Alicent.
I dont feel bad for tv show's Alicent at all...
Wanna know why? Because she's at the SAME time victim of the system, stripped of all agency, also empathetic...yet quick to crown an incompetent rapist to further uphold patriarchal standards of Vatican, I mean Hightowers.
@SAnayati1
Quick question: Do you think the purpose of incest and pedophilia in ASOIAF is supposed to tell you you should ship it? Because this post isnโt about the existence of incest and pedophilia in this universe, I am well aware of that. Iโm criticizing it being shipped.
@killcommander_
I skip this scene and the Larys foot scene whenever I rewatch, just makes me uncomfortable. Thatโs why I often rewatch episodes 6-8 and then repeat
@nedswallclimber
To me thatโs a similar message to the fact that Vissy sits with the โhealthyโ side of his face to tb and with the โsicklyโ one to tg bc theyโre the oneโs who always had to suffer under his decisions and were constantly around him while tb only got the โlovingโ side
@faiIwife
Ig you could say that it requires a certain commitment to not start using makeup to fit societal expectations. However, I actually know a girl who genuinely believes herself to be better than girls who use makeup bc she doesnโt. That shit is embarrassing๐ญ
@aryasmercy
Itโs just not a smart thing to say considering how the tg actors are treated here but as far as I know he doesnโt have social media so he wouldnโt know
What bothers me most about hotd is how Rhaenyra was made the main character and showed her in such a positive light.
It influences the viewers perspective and kinda ruins the understanding for the point of the Dance of Dragons.
@cerseistrap
I just find it funny in the sense that itโs the last thing I expected to see? Like who comes up with that? But itโs definitely fucked up and makes me uncomfortable as a lesbian
@cerseistrap
Bro I live in Germany, should I be worried Cersei is gonna come to hunt me down with elephants๐ญ
Even if so Iโll be waiting with open arms and open legs-
@fem1cent
Esp with the โsharply questionedโ thing. Ofc theyโre gonna believe their lives are at risk once Rhaenyra succeeds when she literally asked for Aemond to be tortured.
only one of them was dumb enough to make their entire house disappear and not even be remembered 150+ years later and it was not rhaenyra ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@spoolofgreen
And everyone always talking about how Baela and Moondancer ate Sunfyre and Aegon up?? They both did well but only one dragon died, and that was not Sunfyre๐ญ
Like why is TB acting as though Baela and Moondancer did much better than Sunfyre and Aegon lmao
@sunfyred
Iโm sorry but most tb actorโs answers were so boring and corny๐ญ
One look at hotdtwt and youโll see all of those takes, give me something new and interesting pls
@HIGHTW_
Reminds me of an edit I saw with that Bojack horseman audio that goes something like โI have toโ โฆ โwhyโ โฆ โbecause if I donโt then that means that all the damage I got isnโt good damage, itโs just damage.โ
This is so funny bc you could fr tweet anything about Alicent and theyy always come out of nowhere lmao
You could fkn compare her to Ramsay and ppl would be defending him๐
Omg people in the quotes are projecting hard. Like yes, Rhaenyra gets fatshamed and misogynistic comments but thatโs obviously not what is being talked about here๐ญ
i love the dichotomy between alicent and rhaenyra stans because rhaenyra stans get offended when you point out any minor flaw about her and then alicent stans are like yes sheโs jealous and self righteous and neurotic
@cerseistrap
I get that the team stuff works good marketing wise but it doesnโt work with the theme of the show. This isnโt a superhero movie with clearly divided sides that are good or bad. And even if it was that way, that still wouldnโt be the point.๐ฅฒ
