now that it's confirmed that alys and helaena are both tapped into the weirwood hive mind do you think they've been messaging each other all season long because me personally i'd like to think that alys gave helaena a front row seat to every single second of daemon's experiences of the Horrors
JACE CALLING THE DRAGONSEEDS MONGRELS. i cheered. yes, jace! that's exactly what you think you are! you are a mongrel, nothing definable, ugly and with only a measly claim to your royal heritage. if they can claim dragons what are we? IT'S JUST SO GOOD that he specifically mentions rhaenyra's "silver haired" bastards when he refers to the dragonseeds....well yeah! what happens when aegon and viserys grow up looking every bit targaryen and rhaenyra dies? what happens to jace? YOU ARE MY HEIR. does she know? does she even know? her perplexed face!!! rhaenyra's like "why would jace bring this now?" it's both wonderful and awful that she fully doesn't see jace as a bastard but just as her son. jace didn't know what to say either....they are trying to communicate for the first time in their LIVES but can't say a single word about it. did the conqueror's dream foretell that? kill me kill me kill me
was it worth the price?
I don’t have a poem but there’s something about Gwayne being the desired gender (son) but being abandoned by his father and Alicent being the favorite but only because Otto can use her. The sibling bond being so strong that despite years of separation and estrangement Gwayne puts aside his resentment to comfort his sister by telling her about her son. Assuring that if there is poison dripping through it is not from her but the prison she is also trapped in. I don’t have the poetry, but you get it.

truly the best thing about Conclave, absolutely the best thing, is that now everyone knows what I have been saying for 10 years: Catholics who want to bring back the Tridentine Mass are invariably, 9 times out of 10, a bunch of weirdos. Thank you Edward Berger for bringing this into popular conscience.
