As much as I hate the fact that they don’t follow the show and that many people say that “Fire & Blood is not a reliable source” (what is a hole new thing) it is so true so many characters (especially Alicent & Rhaenyra) Are just going from side quest to side quest. And you get the feeling (especially Alicent) like these characters, from season 2, are not the same people, as thei are from season 1, and not in the characters arc kind of way more in the: “we are inconsistent with how we write these characters, but pretend it all makes sense.” ???????????
"fire and blood isn't supposed to be a completely true story. the showrunners can adapt things how they want, they don't have to follow the source material."
my brother in christ they are not even following season one
Is this a fucking joke?!
ALICENT has never sacrificed anything?!
Alicent has sacrificed EVERYTHING
She sacrificed her choices and happiness for Otto by marrying the King. She sacrificed her friendship with Rhaenyra. She sacrificed her bodily autonomy to give the king a male heir. She sacrificed her own safety for the safety of her children. She was prepared to die by dragonfire for Aegon, sacrificing her own life for his
But no. She has never sacrificed anything. Everything has been handed to her on a silver platter according to these writers
Meanwhile wtf has Rhaenyra sacrificed? A random knight so she could marry Daemon? A ton of innocent people for more dragons? Those aren’t personal sacrifices the way Alicent’s are. She’s sacrificing other people for herself
Not the same at all
And everything she has, she has been handed on a silver platter. Daddy named her heir, despite her treason in passing off bastards as heirs to Driftmark. She fucked off to Dragonstone and still was heir. She got the Riverlands because of Daemon, not anything she did. She got the dragons through evil means. Alicent offers her everything she wants
It it’s Alicent who has never sacrificed anything?
And now she’s being forced by the writers to sacrifice her son; the person she did all this to protect. Now she’s choosing Rhaenyra because this is redemption to the writers instead of the character assassination that it is
At least Olivia tries to save what she can by making Alicent have a panic attack
I see what you want. I get what you mean. But I’m to ashamed to admit it (I got shamed by my friend 🥹)
u all need to wake up!!!!!! fight back!!!!!!!
Yea typical for the Hotd fandom to be like the writers of the show (I sound like a crazy hater) and make that there favourites have done nothing ever wrong. (IMPORTANT: Both sides have this problem)
fics that make out like OTTO was the one in the wrong for the heir for a day thing….. have me dead
dude… like the only bad thing he did was be the spy guy when he wasnt master of spys 😭😭
but like theres nothing evil about having spies when ur hand anyway!!
and like wdym otto is in the wrong for it?? and not the man DAEMON who literally is celebrating his nephews death!!!
me writing the worst paragraph of my life knowing that a sexier, more hydrated version of me will fix it later
oscar tully is the prince who was promised
viserys : marries a 14yo without her consent, has 4 children with her that pose a threat to rheanyra's reign and will be killed once she takes the throne, refuses to change his heir or marry his firstborn daughter to his firstborn son to prevent a succession crisis, neglects his children, doesn't prepare his chosen heir for her role and ignores her mistakes, doesn't even try to make peace, appoints his son's grandfather as his hand knowing damn well that he wants his grandson on the throne and allows him to take control of the capitol, thinks that one dinner solves 20 years of hatred, dies
the dance of the dragon : happens
TB stans : this is all alicent's fault! and if you disagree then you hate women.
people who let me wake up to this get a special place in heaven. firefly_fox how does it feel to hold my life in ur hands....
