At her wedding to her brother, Prince Aegon 'the elder'
The last recorded portrait of Queen Alicent Hightower
“She does not even have enough shame to wear black.” Rhaenyra thought.
Instead, the queen wore dark green velvet with long sleeves, richly decorated with golden thread and cloth of gold. Her dark hair was pulled up in the style of the capital, and jewels glowed on her ears, neck, and hands. She smiled as she saw Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra gave her no more than an empty stare.

Sometimes I like to make simple edits to entertain myself 😂 They're not a big deal but I like them and I think they look good like Aemma and Rhaenyra because they look alike? I don't know, it seems that way to me xd✌️
From a power hungry bitch to a sad victim saint, and yet they made the character 'better'
Book!Alicent: knows what she wants, gladly marries the king at 18 and becomes queen-consort, actively desires power and Aegon on the throne and Viserys knows it, openly hates Rhaenyra and doesn't try to like her (Rhaenyra is nine btw), thought of by many as someone reaching far too high above her station
Show!Alicent: I'm just a victim and a blind idiot also I think my former best friend capable of kinslaying and uwu I'm an abusive mother and have no agency or real purpose other than being a contrived, badly written mean gurl manipulated by the patriarchy feel sowwy for me 👉🥺👈
Team green fans can be such hypocrites at times. Like shaming Rhaenyra for not physically fighting on dragonback, when she is in such pain and grief. But Helaena gets a free pass because her son was killed. And she's depressed and going through grief and mourning.
While that is exactly the emotion and pain Rhaenyra is going through (even more). Rhaenyra lost her father. Rhaenyra lost her birthright/throne/crown. Rhaenyra lost her son, Luke. Rhaenyra lost her daughter. That too in a stillbirth, which takes months to heal. Even if we put aside the grief and death and loss, there is still physical trauma, and pain. In such a condition she is supposed to be in bed resting.
But still what's the point of having a dragon if you're not putting it any use.🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The way some people would rather die than admit this, IT WAS THE GREENS THAT STARTED THE WAR, NOT THE BLACKS.
Even if you count usurpation a reclaiming of birthright rather than a declaration of war, it would still be the greens that started the war.
Not the event of Blood & Cheese. Not Daemon. And certainly Rhaenyra.
“Lucerys Velaryon died with his dragon. The prince was thirteen years of age. His body was never found. And with his death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest.”
Clearly stated. It was Aemond, a member of the greens that started this war. He killed a CHILD, a envoy to his rival, because his week male ego and pride was hurt.
Both Alicent and Otto are recorded as being of the consequences that will soon follow. The usurper thought this was “a good beginning.” Even throwing Aemond a great feast for killing a child.
The way some broccoli people are so in denial.... Rhaenyra being arrogant and not bending the caused the war? Daemon, Mysaria and Blood & Cheese caused the war? Please stut tf up🙏🤦♀️
Alicent Hightower had to be bitch to a motherless child. She could've been a positive figure in Rhaenyra's life, but no you have to make her life more miserable than it already is🤦
Daughter of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne.
(why yes, I did redo Viserra. Why do you ask?)
To the wonderful fanfic shitshow fan who said me (and other blacks fans) are trying to make Rhaenyra the second Helaena, here is a little reddit post from a greenie like you.🙂
'that deserves better' whatever that means.
If I see one more person using the 'mother of dragons' for alicent 🤦♀️🤦♀️. What makes the mother of dragons, giving birth to targs? Everyone and anyone is a mother of dragons then.
Mother of the realm, what is that similar with hmm🤔? Oh yes, the realm's delight. How exactly is she the mother of the realm? Don't really know.
Not one inch in his body is he anything like Aegon I. Lol.
'Aegon the unbroken' and what is that similar to, Aegon the broken (Aegon III, R+D). Every part of this man was broken, burned and destroyed, mind you.
'the king who prevailed'. What exactly did he prevail, no one actually knows.😮
She is princess Diana, ofc.😍😍
She was a kind queen. 🤷♀️.
'Pride of the realm'. What exactly is something abt her to be so proud of?. Again, similar to 'the realm's delight'
'Beacon of hope'. man's favourite pass time destroying people's hope and burning everything down.

not a bot, just a chilling lurker. Viserra and Rhaenyra and Daenerys³ are baby girls who deserved better. “And here it is, our final night alive, As the earth burns to the ground.“
