Alicent Hightower - Blog Posts
I stayed up till 3 am for only one episode of Milf of the Dragon and... I swear I cannot choose green or black, I choose milf.
I swear that my therapist will heard about that okayy I need to see more of them. Olivia Cooke and Emma D'Arcy are fabulous... Do we care about men no we care about women and non binary people.
“Why do you like Alicent?” “How could you like Alicent” “she’s a traitor”
My favorite Shakespearean character is Lady Macbeth. This should be a surprise to no one. God forbid women do anything
Also Olivia Cooke is hot
Like I’m screaming and throwing up. Are you kidding me.
I’m throwing up
La tristesse durera toujours.
Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower in House of the Dragon Season 2
Obviously this is NOT done but I think I speak for all Rhaenicent fans when I say that we will take whatever we can get. So anyway here’s my progress on these babies
I never post on tumblr, but it's pride month and Rhaenicent is in my brain.
I may or may not finish this. We will see 💃🏻
Like bro take your conjugal beefing to a therapist or smth just don't make a war out of it
gays will get divorced and make it everyone's problem smh
Me, when Daemon the malewhore has THE AUDACITY to call Alicent a whore
Me when Daemon does his arrogant crap and then blames Alicent for all the problemes doesn't listen to his wife and being a major hypocrite
OKAY HARWIN STRONG WOULD NEVER RAISE HIS HANDS ON RHAENYRA AND CHOKE HER
Fuck you, Daemon, honestly, FUCK YOU
Why the Greens are better than the Blacks
And before you send me to Seven Hells, I meant them as characters.
What HotD promised us? The creators promised us twisted morally-grey characters who you can't attribute to good or bad? The original book was, yes, quite Blackish but still- Both Rhaenyra and Aegon were difficult to accept. To root for someone you need to ignore or justify so much that it made Dance of Dragons so interesting.
But in the show it's so obvious that Blacks are sooooooo great and in their right that it is kinda boring to follow.I mean, name some of the strong (hehe) individual traits of the Blacks. And than try ti name some of their bad traits?
Meanwhile the Greens have such strong character. the Shakespearian level of shit. Yes, Aegon is an awful person, bit somehow you see layers of him. Helaena with her prophecies that everyone ignores - CASSANDRA'S LEVEL OF TRAGEDY!!! Aemond is just, you know, has so many dimensions that he's beyond basic physics at that point. Criston is basically the archetype of a noble knight twisted. Larys is creepy and mysterious (hes a shit). Otto goes in some Macbeth stuff. And Alicent... She's iconic, Medea, Medusa, such tragic and poetic figure. Alicent was invented for classic literature.
All of these people are so complicated and tragic that you can definitely see them in a Shakespeare tragedy meanwhile the Blacks are just like comic book characters - they have traits but they are not so deep.
I really think that's what they remembered 😭💔
Rhaenyra and Laenor introducing X to the court:
L: In the name of all that is holy, will you look at Cryston Cole's training clothes?
R: He is one of the dumbest guys you will ever meet. Laenor sat next to him at tournament last year.
L: he asked me how to spell "honor"
X: And that little one?
R: That's Larys Strong. He's totally rich because his dad accidentally died in Harrenhall. Larys Strong knows everybody's business.
L: He knows everything about everyone. That's why his hair is so big. It's full of secrets.
R: And evil takes a human form in Alicent Hightower. Don't be fooled, because she may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing, slut-faced ho-bag. But in reality, she is so much more than that.
*i couldn't help but to do this*
Friendly reminder that just because you hate a character doesn't mean that you have to insult an actor. Especially their appearance.
I've seen people calling Ty Tennant and his look really nad things (not gonna repeat them here). And honestly -WHATS WRONG WITH YPU PEOPLE. yes Aegon Targaryen is, let's say, pretty complicated character but what did the actor do to you?
Meanwhile the dude in question looks like a Renaissance painting.
Helaena Targaryen: shows up with her bugs and occasionally predicts her brothers future:
Me:
I really love how Alicent went from country girl interrupted to her Reputation by Taylor Swift era. Girl literally chose to shade, plot and wear fancy dresses. Good for her! 😌🤚
Alicent Hightower 🤝Criston Cole
Being the victims of Targs power abuse game, breaking down and being shamed by the audience for not being the main guy!
i know rhaenyra targaryen posted this
um sorry for moaning when you stabbed me. it's been a really long time since anyone touched me like that
Two queens ♥ Commissions info ♥ My gallery ♥ My instagram ♥ My twitter
the calm before the storm
having a crush on someone is nice until u start losing your mind
on god, he may have had zero PREPARATION but he was smart like if they did as he said they would have already won the fucking war like listen to the guy I know he's shit but he's smart your ment to listen to your king not undermind him the only dumb thing he did was replace otto as hand because otto would have agreed with every one of his takes like I need daeron to be trying to push for aegons ideas I really do I need a smart duo
Let's see, Aegon was right about...
1. Considering smallfolk
2. Securing Harrenhal before Daemon builds an army
3. Securing Grover Tully's support after Lucerys' death
4. Burning Gullet's blocade sooner
5. Wanting a dragon to accompany Criston and Gwayne (they could've killed Moondancer and captured Baela)
And STILL many people are saying he was a dumb king! Even with him not recieving any preparation, his ideas would've eliminated the biggest problems that the Greens are facing now.
so true like I hate how people fault for her for it because added to it her father was actively telling her that rhaenyra would have to put alicents own flesh and blood to the sword and then rhaenyra has bastards (not blaming her she need heirs) but it just strengthen alicents fear of her own being killed.
so without a doubt I would to conspire to put one my sons on the throne most likely a smart one who's not stupid but obvi the lords wanted the first born son so yeah I'd do it what mother (or parent or father) wouldn't want their child to sit the throne and rule like I fucking would like hell yeah make me the queen mother idc how history wanna portray me if I got one of my own kids on the throne than fuck me with a chainsaw I'd be living
Not gonna lie.
If my bitch ass husband had me give birth to four children. And three of them being boys and not naming any of them his heirs no matter how much he cried and complained about wanting a son.
Yeah I would have taken the throne and put my son on it.
THIS those kids are so fucking interesting to me like those four where screwed the moment they were all born, aegon was like most likely an infant when people started to think about him being on the throne instead of rhaenyra like their all so tragic helaena being cursed to know that she and her siblings and children will die is just *chefs kiss* aemond losing his eye due to claiming a dragon agted being bullied for not having one, daeron being sent away to live at old Town not really knowing his siblings all that well but willing to die to protect and avenge his family is just *cries* alicent the mother out living all of her children (and I think grandchildren 2) and hating the colour green, the same colour of the dress she wore to be her own person to defend her children and fight for them
like obviously the team black/team green divide is stupid and missing the point of the dance and like obviously the show is written with a rhaenyra bias but likeeeeeee. HOW can you not be endlessly compelled by how irretrievably doomed the team green kids are. how can you not be intrigued and endeared by how narratively fucked these poor stupid teenagers are. pov: you were born to be a weapon in a civil war started by people who don’t care about you. that is the reason for your existence. you are obviously fated to die young and tragic and everybody knows it. you are a team green kid.
I have nothing against young alicent I love her but older alicent being given the scene of right after jaehaerys instead of aegon will forever pain me LIKE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT AND DIDNT why I will forever wish to know, plus we would have got to see the aftermath of that scene in the next one like why they so obsessed with alicent like I get it she's like a main character for some reason but the war is between aegon and rhaenyra for the throne.
btw if there's any fanfics where it is aegon finding out right after instead of alicent tell me I'd eat that shit up so fast
I really don't understand the desire of the screenwriters to make absolutely everything in this series revolve around Alicent. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but all the events of the series REALLY don't need to be focused on her. Show me how Helaena runs to Aegon with her daughter in her arms. She finds him in the throne room and the whole company freezes, seeing her in tears, with a cut on her neck. The smile fades from Aegon's face when he realizes that something irreparable has happened. He sobers up immediately. Finish the episode on his face when Helaena says that Jaehaerys was killed and after we were watching the development of Aegon's relationship with his son, it'll hurt. Let me see the moment when he realizes that while he was getting drunk with friends on the throne, his son was being killed. Show me his eyes when he realizes that the fragile happiness he had was destroyed and he couldn't prevent it in any way. Children are the only thing these two have in common, it's their tragedy, don't take it away from them.
honestly tho they so would like yes they have a dysfunctional family but they care about each other they'd do a lot for each other, and like they want me to believe that show aemond is aemond from the book like I'm sorry but that is two diffrent people so glad the shows it's own canon and the books are their own canon
Just thinking about how book Alicent and Aemond react to the way their show version treat Aegon kill me 😂
Alicent: what's this bitch is doing to my sweet son? Oh no–
*Show Alicent slap Aegon*
Alicent:...
Aegon: mother? Are you ok–
Alicent: *throw the remote and break the TV*
Alicent: *hugs Aegon tightly, almost suffocating him*
Aegon: M-Mother, can't breathe–
Alicent: Shh, it's ok now, my love. Mother loves you, darling. No more nasty TV for you.
Aemond: what is happening? W-wait don't tell me...
*show Aemond trying to kill Aegon*
Aemond: *face go blank* my king?...
Aegon: hm?
Aemond: forgive me...
Aegon: oh come on it's just a stupid show no need–
Aemond: not that, I'm apologizing for what I'm about to do...
Aemond: *pull his sword out and put it on his own neck*
Aegon: wha... WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!
Aemond: PLEASE DON'T TRY TO STOP ME–
Aemond: *suddenly fall to the ground*
Aegon: *look back up and see Daeron standing there with a flowerpot in his hand*
Daeron: you're welcome.
New chapter is out! My favorite one yet just because I like the way I wrote!!!
Dipping myself into the house of dragon world!
