Who was this woman? A serving wench who dabbled in potions and spells, says Munkun. A woods witch, claims Septon Eustace. A malign enchantress who bathed in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth, Mushroom would have us believe.

you know what else is a choice. rhaenyra looking alicent hightower in the face and saying 'still you imagine you can have all you want'

the same alicent who had to surrender her body, her autonomy, her future, her dreams, the same alicent who got eaten up by the crown and spat back out after having 4 kids in 5 years, and got shown time and time again by viserys/house targaryen at large that none of those sacrifices mattered

alicent isn't the one who spent the last 20 years doing what she wanted and getting all she wanted and facing no consequences. like she demonstrably isn't

“A son for a son” is the cruelest and deadbeat thing they could’ve had Rhaenyra demand from Alicent after the beaheading of Jaehaerys. Like her shock and horror at daemon earlier doesn’t even exist anymore. It was just lip service to make Rhaenyra look good at the time, but in the moment it counts to say something, all she wants is to make alicent suffer. And for what? Is Luke not avenged properly? All the dead smallfolk they have Rhaenyra pine over, and she can’t even muster a shred of sympathy for a murdered baby and then makes his grandmother choose between the fate of the rest of her family for the beheading of her wounded son. Like. What the fuck. What the fuck? Who are these characters because I can’t even make sense of them anymore. What the hell even was the point of blood and cheese now??
