*insert cool phrase here*

I really hope he and Corlys team up to take control, thus locking Rhaenyra in her chambers as shown by the trailer.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work and he ends up dying, this Rhaenyra screaming about how they turned on her.

I think Jace loves his mom. But I agree that he doesn't like her as person or a leader because of all her behaviour.

Jace is hasty and hot-headed. Rhaenyra hesitant behavior clearly annoys him. Her plans are also questionable most of the time, taking his idea and twisting so she could take bastards and giving them dragons directly affects his claim and hurt him in a personal level. Specially when Jace see her taking Addam into his place.

Also, trusting Alicent and Rhaenyra close relationship with Mysaria, when Daemon was away definitely bothered him. I mean he even say she needs Daemon. And what kid wouldn't be bothered, right?

"My enemies have been allowed to muster their strength!"

Rhaenyra is referring to Ormund who has now been given confirmation by Larys' agents that Aegon is alive, going by the footage of his green ringed hand opening a letter with Aegon's green and gold seal.

💯

Daemon Targaryen’s very existence is a gaping plot hole they can’t escape no matter how much sand they bury their head in!

They can’t explain why Alicent, Helaena and Jaehaera are safer with Daemon than Aegon, Aemond and Criston.

Deep down they know there is no logic to Alicent’s stupidity in 2x08, because deep down they know Alicent’s supposed one true love won’t protect her from him.

It’s not cluelessness, it’s full on denial!

Imagine knowing your ship is the reason a show is doing so badly even the original writer turned on it!

Deep down Rhaenicents know every single one of HotD’s failures stems back to this ridiculous ship, they just can’t accept it.

BAELOR who talks you through it. And not in a “Yes, just like that, baby” way. No, in a way that he explains everything. His big hands are squeezing your thighs, his silver rings are cold against your skin. “Lean back, my love” Once you do, he lifts your skirts enough to have a view of you.

“Lift your hips for me” once you do, he takes your undergarments down, softly, even when every inch of his body told him to rip them off. “I can use my hands” he says, leaving soft kisses in your lower belly. “But i know you prefer my tongue”

Before diving in, he spits a little right in your clit, circling it with his thumb before burying his head between your legs. “This is a sensitive spot for you” He mumbles, his beard tickling your inner thighs. “I play with it, and that’s how i please you, my lady wife” Your needy whimper encouraged him to dive back in. And so he did for hours.

Their fanon ship doesn’t exist in it

Rhaenyra isn’t a whitewashed Mary Sue

Alicent is an actual leader of the Greens instead of a useless pushover with 0 political acumen

The women in general are complex characters who have done terrible things instead of 24/7 victims of evil men

Rhaenyra is proactive in taking her throne rather than standing around whinging about men not respecting her

Unlike Ryan and Sarah’s failed attempt at a “sapphic romance” that is as intriguing as white bread with boiled potatoes, the book had multiple lgbt couples

Both George and the fandom lay majority of the show’s faults on C&H’s refusal to accept this ridiculous ship was a mistake

Great points anon.

It’s more than that, I do believe we underestimated just how pissed off C&H are that not only did everyone reject Alicent’s “redemption” in 2x08 but the vast majority of viewers took George’s side even if they never read the books.

So they have two options in front of them:

Acknowledge that George is a better writer and you have screwed up big time.

Double down, convinced if you shove Rhaenicent down the viewers’ throats 24/7 they’ll finally accept it.

Guess which one the narcissists will choose?

It's clear they've chosen option 2. Two tv spots have been leaked and all there is is corny lines about Rhaenicent like:

"She will cut you open and watch you bleed"

"She will lure you into Vhagar's jaws"

"Rhaenyra still has good in her, but the weight of the crown crushes"

Fucking MELODRAMA no one cares about! These are matriarchs of opposing political sides, losing children and allies on the daily in a war they helped kickstart. But instead, they're acting like mopy TEENAGERS.
