she was a liar, taunted her half brother his entire life and had a god complex towards her little sister. then she single-handedly ruined the entire stark family by begging her father to take a job at Kingโs landing. The hate is well deserved.
@marenyearly
the UK, apart from being Terf Island, is also nepo baby central
Emily Carrey before HOTD basically had a monopoly on "brunette heroine as a child" roles. It's pretty wild
@Saminallo
the real question is why the Canon Book Art made a 20-year-old prince look like a sullen old divorced dad with a cheesburger diet and a mortgage
if you genuinely enjoy any of the team green characters with your whole chest I simply have to believe you are an idiot sawry that shit just doesnโt make sense to people with braincells
@fkadaenerys
maybe because george commissioned art for shiera, he presented her as the most beautiful woman in westeros, a witch who had multiple lovers and george has big plans for her unlike alicunt and her family
@MissTeamTherapy
maybe the show will have Aegon enter the capital in some kind of mock triumph parade, where little Aegon III has to walk around with mom's leg and leave it in the sept
@iwrite4jacobin
it's such a comfy boomer podcast at this point, half of it is Mark's boomer anti-americanism and the other half of John's increasingly bizarre injuries in exotic locations
The show is made by modern writerd for a modern audience, not for people larping as westerosi peasants
Do you also think Lucerys was a grown man in the finale?
hotd fans take this show as it is based on nowadays norms. Which is so weird to me.
I get that, because hotd looks modern for them. Or they do not get medieval mindset of people.
Telling that Alicent was too young. No she wasn't for Westeros standards.
No longer funny how it's okay and admirable for Olivia to be deeply involved in the writing of her character, completely ruining it, but matt who simply gives his insight and understanding on daemon after reading the book is ruining the fandom and being unprofessional.
@alicentsbree
I can sympathize with Laenor, dude just wanted a cottagecore life with his boyfriend but got pressured into being Rhaenyra's beard and the royal cuckold
anyone would mentally check out of that marriage after a while
@ladylaogai
I imagine Aegon and Aemond would fly their dragons to the funeral, which is why Tom and Ewan are still in the HBO greenscreen dungeon in London
idc about a twitter poll, i just don't get why people are being so insufferable and pretending shiera sucks
she's an awesome historical character, she's referenced multiple times in the main series + D&E....i dont get this weird boner people on twt have for shitting on-
@fkadaenerys
No, bc why is it whenever a woman is in a position of power in media, she has to have her femininity stripped away from her to be seen as legitimate!?!! Itโs giving โnot-like-other-girlsโ when WE ALL KNOW Book!Nyra was a girlsโ girl thru & thru๐
@myneighborjiji
practically useless because black-on-black is invisible, but it slays
Rhaenyra using pure black banners is a lot cooler than that book photoshop
@RiroTheSecond
lmao remember when Freddy Fox was cast and at least one person was seething that HBO should reserve him for non-existent shows as Baegael the Third
yโall can complain about them calling her a โsmutโ all you want, i wasnโt a big fan of that either & definitely side eyed them but they were saying some other true shit idk what to tell you ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
+ someone who, plainly speaking, does not deserve any rights. Not even the whole sex with Viserys scene while she's stiff as a board gives me any sympathy because she frankly, does not deserve it
@aerystrgaryen
yeah, it's a bit silly to pretend the Targs aren't the most famous and popular house in ASOIAF, there's a reason why HOTD is a thing while the Stark prequels got shitcanned
I mean Alicent's plot relevance is from being a Targaryen by marriage
I imagine the fallout after this atrocity is what gets Daemon banned to the couch and going to Harrenhal, hence that Alys dialogue that he had a fight with his wife
I can't imagine Jace, a straightup heroic character, approving of B&C either
Nowhere in f&b does it say, Alicent was a pious, conservative person but hotd portrayed her that way and her stans praise her zealousness as if itโs a good quality. The only pious queens were Alysanne, Naerys and Aelinor (who her stans steal aspects of and insert to Alicent)
Yes, we know. It was severely dumbed down for the folks on your side having a meltdown in the comments. ๐ซถ๐ป
Even though it was literally fanfiction by Sapochnik, who is no longer even involved with the show.. ๐ฅด
@Deedamai
It's 100% confirmed that there is some pro-Rhaenyra, anti-Aegon booing. But there's several public parade scenes being filmed now and nobody knows when the booing is
@aemondcommunist
if rhaenicent were boys it'd be the most popular ship in the whole franchise, it'd be l*cemond times 1000
again, this fandom is filled with misogyny since the 1990s
@bubblegumeow
Aegon is constantly on the edge of blubbering, no contest there. Alicent's big sad eyes are also ready to cry all the time
Helaena has never, ever cried
