Alicent Hightower Deserved Better - Blog Posts

The way the show runners and TB stans (specifically Rhaenyra stans) want me to sympathize with Rhaenyra when she is rude, spoiled, has made no sacrifices besides that of her own people, and is THE definition of a Nepo baby, is wild when you add in the fact they want me to hate Alicent. You know Alicent, the girl who was forced into a marriage against her will, a girl who was a victim of marital rape, the girl who by the age of 20 was raising all FOUR of her children while Rhaenyra was pregnant with her FIRST?

Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either. Cause out of those two options I will always sympathize with a character like Alicent before a "strong female character". I couldn't care less that she was "usurped". I don't care for the people who say she obviously wouldn't hurt her siblings, cause we never got one scene of her giving Alicent or her siblings a reason to believe she wouldn't harm them. She not on e said anything to anyone else that she wouldn't want to harm her siblings before the dance, so if I was Alicent and told that she would kill my children by all these people I trust, than why should I not trust them when the person they are telling me will do it isn't saying anything to change my mind.

Needless to say I will always sympathize with these Alicents

Before I EVER sympathize with either of these Rhaenyra's

And no one will change my mind.
