Alicent Hightower - Blog Posts
Dipping myself into the house of dragon world!
As a young woman i know that i wouldn't make a good mother, and i knowladge that. This is why i don't plan to have childeren.
I think this is why i sympathize with Alicent so much.
I feel like she know she wasn't ready to be a mother, even when she was a adult she wasn't ready but she became a mother at 16, the very same age with me and now she has four kids.
I am not saying her abusing her kids was right, if i were her i would try my best to be a good mother and i think this was her trying her best to be a good mother. Unfortunatly she didn't know better
RHAENYRA & ALICENT in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ── season 2, episode 8.

I WILL wake up Christmas morning and find these two scissoring under the tree 🙏🏻🙏🏻 please god
You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to put you on that throne.
Who else clinging desperately to a past they cannot return to
Like young love belongs to spring
But I see her in the back of my mind…
all the time.
KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU!!!!
olivia cooke! it was a tough field but you have once again been awarded with the nobel prize for the facial expression of looking like you would want to kill yourself if you knew the possibility existed but it could not even occur to you since you must fulfil your duty and responsibility to your family and station which you have accepted since you were a little girl and you are also gay
I think it's fair to give hotd shit for quite a few things, but I still think that how they chose to change Alicent's character was genius. To look at her and ask: what if she was young? What if she was scared? And then, in turn, to have this scared young girl, that was pushed into the cycle of violence and abuse that is feudalism, grow up into a scared wary woman, that doesn't stop the cycle for her children but instead pushes them into it as well, because it's the only way the world works that she knows. Because when her father pushed her into the cycle, he kissed her brow and called it duty. And now she makes her children wed each other and ursurp a throne, continuing all the abuse and violence, because she was told as a girl that if you just follow the rules enough everything will be alright.
And that's also what makes her relationship with Rhaenyra so fascinating. It's love, but it's also resentment. To Alicent Rhaenyra is free. She doesn't follow the rules, flaunts some of them openly. And still it seems like there are no consequences for her. She doesn't follow the rules and still Viserys loves her in a way he never did his children by Alicent. While Alicent breaks and reprieves herself in an attempt to do everything right, but it won't save her.
Just between us, I remember it all too well.
Gay people are so crazy… what do you mean you married her dad but you’re thinking it could maybe still work out🧐🤨
it would be a hundred times easier
if we were young again
this is what my delusional ass thinks happened in the finale
You know what I want to see, a pirate, or Arena fighter or dragonkeeper or any kind of 'man' job reader with yandere hotd, like I like the trope of reader being sweet and nice but that's overused, I NEED BADASS READER WHO CAN AND WILL FIGHT THE TARGARYENS FOR HER FREEDOM OR CAN KEEP UP WITH THEIR VIOLENT TENDENCIES. You feel me?
Literally the perfect scenario.
is it wrong that I really hope they go down the Alicent x Criston path …
But specifically I want those two to be so entrenched in their own morals and ideals that they hurt from want. I need heavy breathing, and lingering touches!! I want lustful looks, and internal turmoil!! I want them to both be so consumed by their hatred for Rhaenyra and her freedom that they deny themselves the pleasure of being loved !!!!! I want anguish and self denial and self righteousness that drives them to sickness with desire … I want those bastards to be so in love that they’re miserable
