When will people understand that BOTH Alicent and Rhaenyra did bad things to each other because of patriarchy. Viserys married Alicent and Rhaenyra resented her for that and because of patriarchal society she wasn’t able to comprehend that her father was in the wrong.
We also see that despite the efforts made by Alicent, Rhaenyra still pushes her away and after they seem to re establish their friendship Rhaenyra lies to her and because of that gets Otto fired (we see Otto being the only one there for Alicent, he was a shit father but Alicent can’t put her head around that fact) the moment we see Alicent feel hatred towards Rhaenyra is when she learns that she lied to her.
When we see adult Alicent and Rhaenyra, Alicent is clearly rude to her and wants to see baby Joffrey. She also keeps repeating that Rhaenyra’s kid are bastards, which is true and some of y’all act like it isn’t.
I enjoy and appreciate both of them, even Emma D’arcy said that the show evolves around two smart woman who are put against each other because of patricahy, it’s such a great written show and talks about so many things.
Also I keep thinking the man on the council repeating that war will follow if Rhaenyra ascends the throne, if the Targaryens were a united family who would dare go to war with them, at this point they have Rhaenys, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Aegon, Helaena, Aemond, Jacaerys, Lucerys, Baela who are all dragon riders. They were to busy hating on each other bc both teams did their best to push away the other team.

Me because we probably ain’t gonna see Ville in a while
She was on the early screening on the episode and she answered some questions!
The gore is pretty low and Aegon and Helaena have 3 kids but it’s hard to tell.
I feel like 🩸🧀 will start in the end of episode 1 (like seeing them walk through the secret tunnels) and it will end on a cliffhanger and then it will take place on the beginning of episode 2.
Also Emma’s performance was praised, so excited to see them!
So like father like daughter? Vans are cool.

This this this!!!
My HOT(D) take of the day: Team Black this, Team Green that, Rhaenyra vs. Alicent blah, blah, blah. These two women are in an equally fucked up sinking boat, taking a plunge into the depths of the ocean hand in hand. They really said 'we cannot live our lives together in love and in peace eating cake? Fine, then we'll self-destruct.' At the heart of this conflict there is the simple, straightforward desire of two young girls to reunite, but they are continuously kept apart by the constant meddling of crusty old men. Men are what got us into this situation, and they're what is going to keep us in it until the bitter end.
baddest bitch in all of jackass and you know johnny had a fat crush on her!!! they all did!!
The fact that there aren’t any spoilers yet from people who were on the screening of episode 1 is so weird but for the best, only thing I saw was someone on tiktok saying that b&c was really terrifying.
When Rhaneyra is your queen but Green is your favourite colour so you want team green’s entire wardrobe.
