We've got less than a month to go.
Westerosi propaganda??
"if you believe westerosi historical propaganda" you guys it's so unbelievably over
dare i say aegon saved the episode
Alicole banging at the start of season 2?
Am I dreaming? (If I am, don't wake me up.)
Jokes aside, I am reaaally happy about this. Our girl Alicent deserves some joy in her life, especially knowing what is about to happen.
Though I do pray that whatever goes on between them occurs after b&c, or at the very least, not during it.
The last thing I want to see is Ali being horrendously punished for thinking about herself for the first time. Also, you know, Alicole, Alicent and Criston antis would have a field day, hating on them for getting it on as Helaena and her kids suffered.
(As if their beloved blacks weren't responsible for this tragedy in the first place but whatever.)
We should also take into account the fact that Alicole acting on their feelings after b&c would add a lot more meaning to their relationship in general.
Two souls broken by grief, finding comfort in one another by completely forgetting about their duties and positions after years of repressing what they felt.
I'm all for it

Here's a toast to the HBO Targaryen wives who were made Targaryens by men who didn't love them
Aemma Targaryen deserved better
Alicent Targaryen Deserved better
Rhea Targaryen deserved better
Laena Targaryen deserved better
And Elia Targaryen most of all, deserved so much more better
Because if you're going to take your a-hole husband's last name and are expected to relinquish all that made you you while he makes it clear he's only there to get whatever use he can out of you. Then you sure as heck deserve better
Just wanna say this cause I’ve been seeing it around. This is my opinion, I may not have the same opinion as yours but I ask you respect it.
Rhaenyra and Dany are not alike. They are not the same. They will never be the same.
Rhaenyra could never do what Dany did. She wouldn’t survive that. Dany is her own storm in herself, she suffered through a lot and still had hope for a better tomorrow. Rhaenyra could never. I don’t like when people compare these two because you can’t compare Dany to Rhaenyra.
Dany is what a true Targaryen should be like. She’s a true ruler in her own right. She rules with justice and fights for her people. She locked away her own children when she released that they had killed her citizens baby. She didn’t like it, but she has no choice. Dany didn’t grow up with the same privilege Rhaenyra did, nor did she have the support and options to gain control that Rhaenyra did.
No, Dany gained loyalty all on her own. She inspired hope in her people and they in return had faith in her rule. Dany built herself from the ground up. She struggled and fought for her right.
Daemon and Rhaenyra’s relationship not only embodies what a grooming relationship looks like but also with how it progresses once the minor grows up. Not every person who was groomed is going to admit that it happened to them because it make the situation so much more real. And sometimes the person who was groomed doesn’t even realize that it happened to them until years down the line.
And the saddest part about their relationship and people who are in similar relationships in real life almost always go back. Because that person has been with them through their entire life and has quite literally seen them through thick and thin(even if the abuser was the cause behind it all) and it make the victim believe that the abuser could never be a bad person. We see that when Daemon celebrates Aemma and Baelon’s death by toasting Nyra’s brother as, “Heir for a day.”
Then Daemon goes on to steal the egg she chose for her brother and effectively take over Dragonstone-the castle of which she is now Princess of. And when he comes back to court after being away for four years at war she just forgives him since he’s the only person she has left at court. Even years later, when Harwin and Laena are both dead and Laenor is becoming increasingly depressed because of his sister’s death, Rhaenyra goes back to Daemon because she’s associated him with a relying hand who can help her at court.
She’s so convinced that he’s only looking after her to the point that when he starts an affair with teenage Nettles, all Rhaenyra thinks is that it must have been Nettles who ‘lured’ Daemon into her bed and sends word that she wants Nettles killed.
Guuys do you have any good Alicent centric fics to recommend? I would appreciate even some Alicole ones if you have em.
Yes say it louder! Also I really don't get Mysaria's double standards. In episode 9, she's only willing to give Aegon back to the greens if they promise to stop the child fighting pits in flea bottom. It shows she cares for exploited, abused children. But then she helps Daemon brutally murder a six year old boy? Wtf! Poor kids should be helped but the noble ones have to die? I'm speechless
I’ve seen a lot of Mirri haters saying Mirri supporters should support Mysaria no matter what.
Here’s the problem with that, Mirri is forced into slavery, violated repeatedly, and sees her home destroyed and people she loves killed. Mirri gives clear instructions for Khal Drogo to heal, which he ignores and this gets even more sick. Mirri then attempts to heal Drogo from the brink of death but tells dany there will be a cost. Dany asks if her own life will be the price and when told no she agrees to it. Mirri is then blamed for Drogo not being ‘Alive’ and turns she gets to roast dany saying this is what she saved. Then Mirri is burned alive.
Mysaria in contrast is now a powerful spy master with multiple people spying for her throughout kings landing. She assists her ex lover in murdering a child that she probably doesn’t even know, mentally torturing the mother and grandmother of that child.
They are not the same. Mirri followed orders from her enslaver and when her enslaver was not happy with the outcomes she was burned alive. Mysaria helped murder a child who’s family had done nothing to her.
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
