oh hbo the television network that you are

team both

how come the black brothers get so much hype and this trio gets NONE??? misogyny i think

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

Gay people are so crazy… what do you mean you married her dad but you’re thinking it could maybe still work out🧐🤨

I think it's fair to give hotd shit for quite a few things, but I still think that how they chose to change Alicent's character was genius. To look at her and ask: what if she was young? What if she was scared? And then, in turn, to have this scared young girl, that was pushed into the cycle of violence and abuse that is feudalism, grow up into a scared wary woman, that doesn't stop the cycle for her children but instead pushes them into it as well, because it's the only way the world works that she knows. Because when her father pushed her into the cycle, he kissed her brow and called it duty. And now she makes her children wed each other and ursurp a throne, continuing all the abuse and violence, because she was told as a girl that if you just follow the rules enough everything will be alright.

And that's also what makes her relationship with Rhaenyra so fascinating. It's love, but it's also resentment. To Alicent Rhaenyra is free. She doesn't follow the rules, flaunts some of them openly. And still it seems like there are no consequences for her. She doesn't follow the rules and still Viserys loves her in a way he never did his children by Alicent. While Alicent breaks and reprieves herself in an attempt to do everything right, but it won't save her.

i’m losing my mind right now bc i really really want to write but for some reason i can’t think of anything. sitting here staring at like 3 open wips without a Single working brain cell. god has abandoned me.
