i'm so fucking disgusted with the writers of this show. like i don't think i'll ever be over this bullshit. they ruined an interesting, ambitious female character because they wanted to use her as a torture doll to represent "evil hypocritical woman for trump™️" when that was never what alicent was just so they could send a message and live out their fantasy of "wrong" women being sexually punished.
like hey remember in the book when alicent did everything to protect her children and their children, put the crown on helaena's head and called her "my queen"? nah fuck that, she's still so in love and obsessed with her childhood bestie/gf that she's gonna try to force an abortion on helaena that would likely kill her. at this point helaena's death will probably be changed so that alicent sneaks moon tea into her food or something and that causes helaena to miscarry or something and that's why she jumps. every new episode of this show makes me hate the showrunners and blackcels more and more. do y'all feel vindicated? hope you're enjoying your faux feminist fanfic that's somehow the most misogynistic shit i've seen in a long time
