If Rhaenyra comes into power… your very life could be forfeit. Aemond’s as well. She could move to cut off any challenge to her succession.

"But I think what’s clear in the first few episodes is that my Alicent doesn’t have a choice. And even when she’s given this privilege of choice, it’s still being made by men. The choice is still constantly, consistently, being made by men." - Emily Carey

"It’s very odd and freaky that they’re of similar ages. Alys wants to freak Alicent out, but she’s also intimidated by her. It’s a little like two wild animals together. We figured out this dynamic quickly because what was crazy about it was having Olivia actually be there. It feels like Alicent shouldn’t be here. This is Harrenhal, so what is she doing here? So there was already a hilarious, tense, strange, exciting aspect to that that we just leaned into." – Gayle Rankin on Alys and Alicent

Grieving, grieving, constantly grieving. I mourn what could have been, what will not be, what I can't save.
