religious devotion and a misplaced sense of duty….criston seeing alicent as a savior figure… serving her would atone for losing his honor…. she lights the way !
Two women who backstab and uphold patriarchy to drag down another woman for their own selfish interests; Two men who betray their former lover in a cowardly manner, and aren’t worth a damn. So true. (Except I love book! Jon and even like book! Sansa).
i think for alicent the rhaenyra thing wasn’t just her realizing she’s lied to her it’s years and years of having everyone around her who is supposed to love her lie and manipulate her and use her for their own benefit she’s a girl with no mother no power no one to look after her
the whole point of asoiaf is that it’s dark grimy fantasy and yet here we are with people moralizing and preaching…. i don’t think this is the series for you beloved
sansa and alicent as the disillusioned good daughter jon and criston as the idealistic knight…. except where alicent and criston allow for their circumstances to corrupt them jon and sansa continue to believe in honor and good 🫣
they’re INSANE they literally just met maybe 30 minutes ago he’s touching her with his bare hands and is talking about wanting her future…. LIKE BENEDICT PLS CONTROL YOURSELF
alicent as the mother religious figure for criston and that’s why he becomes kingmaker and crowns aegon is just so sexy you cannot make me not like it sorry
mind you sansa and the other starks have nothing to do with this there’s a whole show about targaryens on right now and they still can’t keep their mouth shut it’s giving obsessed
and after years of feeling all she’s worth for is having babies for a husband she doesn’t like realizing her closest friend the person she thought loved her the most doesn’t trust her and because of it she is now truly alone with no family… it was the last straw she’s done
she’s seen rhaenyra be given all these choices and her careless disregard when she’s been used and pushed around by her father and now her last family is gone and she’s realizing she and her children might be in danger if she depends on the love of a friend who doesn’t trust her
otto alicent aegon generational trauma i sacrificed our happiness for you i ruined our lives for you you’re so hateful i learned at your feet i am the shape you made me filth teaches filth you’re a mother ma you’re also a monster but so am i
“it’s so obvious, this is all for you. everything i’ve done, everything that i’ve sacrificed. all the awful things i’ve done in order to facilitate your ascension is because i love the bones of you”
Glad reminder that Alicent is a conservative religous woman she is like a Karen. She doesn't believe in a any kind of change a support the patriarchy. Alicent is one of those religous people that think their are superior bc of their faith
alicent’s “gods hes dornish” and her little heart eyes for criston scene all we get of possible alicent in love with criston fueling rhaenyra resentment and why she protects him…. when i see the writers in HELL
Sounds like show runner Ryan Condal is very interesting in turning
#HouseOfTheDragon
into an anthology series, covering different eras of the Targaryen dynasty.
the one thing im very much enjoying though is that we are watching the downfall of targ nation in real time everywhere i turn everyone’s sick of them i used to dream of days like this 🤭
sansa who bled for the north for every northern victory who retook winterfell who fought for northern independence with dragons at her home sansa who stood against dragons where torrhen knelt sansa who will be remembered as the queen who set the north free
alicent trusting the kids to be alone with criston when he has 3 functioning brain cells and 2.5 of them only activate when she’s around him… what could possibly go wrong
alicent is actually unbelievable she said let me marry my best friend’s dad then steal her birthright betray her start a civil war and and make my son king instead…. all while looking hot as hell she’s so cunty i love her
