Alicent Hightower would have loved Six

alicent just hits different no one else in HotD is doing it like her. no one else is embodying the tragic figure like her. like 'what have i done? but what was expected of me?' 'all i wanted was for someone to say they were sorry for what happened to me.' 'our hearts were never one. i see that now.' like cool girlie I'm gonna start stigmata-ing in your name my nail beds are bleeding suddenly. follow the trail of blood to my unresting place we're forming a church in her name

Whenever I see someone claim that Alicent has a crush on Criston, I lose twenty years off my lifespan

Alicent Hightower.

apologist? not necessarily. explainer? perhaps. understander? intimately. enjoyer? greatly. sexualizer? frequently,

Let them think what they must. I am at last myself.

Me, knowing asoiaf is, in part, a story about the danger in reading too far in prophecies, watching Rhaenyra not run away with Alicent to fulfill Aegon the conquerors dream

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 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.

rhaenyra being canonically queer makes rhaenicent canon too for those with eyes to see

what have i done but what was expected of me?
