Hehe

The parallels between Rhaenyra and Alicent showing how one of them is trapped in history and destined to bear a heavy burden while the other one is finally free

i was confused at first as to why orwyle was so panicked when the guards knocked on the doors but when larys said "i'll have the sentry give you more warning" it made sense- they're trying to rehabilitate aegon, but they're doing it behind aemond's back so that he won't try to stop them and/or kill aegon. this is setting up a future confrontation where aemond gets taken by surprise by aegon showing up and relieving him of his duty and i like where it's going bc i live for the drama

find me in the future.

alicent finally breaking free from the religious constructs taught throughout all her life. breaking free from the men who imposed their duty and their wishes upon her, until she lost her own self and had to find it again.

then there’s rhaenyra who always chose to be free, and not let the wits of men win against hers, always controversial, now turning to the shackles of duty. stripping herself of hope and a peaceful ending in exchange to fulfill the role of a dutiful prophecy indirectly forced upon her.

these two women will always be the same coin but never the same face
