Fully Liberating

Also me: *gets overly attached to Luke*

Me during the finale:

Rhaenyra's immediate grief when she hears about Viserys. The way she calls for Daemon because he's the only one she can bear to have close during her suffering. The way she immediately knows he's plotting war. Her slight hesitation, almost fear when she sees Daemon holding her father's crown. The quiet acceptance when he kneels before her. Rhaenyra's smirk when she hears Luke call her perfect, because she knows her flaws. The way she calls him her 'sweet boy'. The way they do the forehead touch thing, and all those kisses she presses to his head.

Rhaenyra recognizing the page Alicent had sent. Her face crumpling at the betrayal. Syrax reacting to Rhaenyra's rage and roaring. The way she makes her sons swear not to fight. Her little smile when Luke calls her 'mother'. Her trust in Jace. The way she immediately knows Daemon has bad news in the last scene.

The grief on Daemon's face when he sees Viserys' crown, the one he'd only just set upon his brother's head. The way he kneels so willingly before Rhaenyra, and proclaims her his Queen. The way he staggers back when he sees Rhaenyra cradling Visenya's corpse right after the birth. His grief on the beach - almost made more poignant for how briefly it was shown. The way he stands with her at Visenya's funeral, watching over her despite his own grief. The way he chafes against her orders, but always obeys. The pride on his face when she flies in on Syrax for the confrontation with Otto.
