But he cannot escape his mother's blood. He'll scream and try to wash it off of his fingers. But he'll never escape what he's made up of.

Because being a Derry Girl, well, it's a fucking state of mind.

EMMA D'ARCY & OLIVIA COOKE Can't Stop Complimenting Each Other

it’s kind of funny how the same people who never shut up about Criston having a madonna-whore complex unironically subscribe to the same belief when it comes to Alicent vs Rhaenyra

Alicent having sex with one person as a widow has people blasting her as a whore, both in the story and in fanon people treat her having sex like it’s a character flaw and she’s portrayed as responsible for blood and cheese because she dared to have a romantic relationship.

on the flip side Rhaenyra having an affair with Harwin is treated as something noble and respectable, her having sex with Daemon the night of his wife’s funeral is seen as loving and no one puts the blame on her shoulders for the eye incident because she dared to have sex.

everything Rhaenyra does is treated as inherently virtuous whereas Alicent was getting called a whore when her only crime was being forced to marry Viserys and now that she has a relationship with Criston the misogynistic comments are only worse.
