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
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 thereβs 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
find me in the future.
Team Green or Team Black? π°π
(I'm team Rhaenyra and Alicent should have gotten married π€‘)
