She took off the robe, showing Agnes the proof of her devotion. She said "He cant hurt you anymore." searching for her approval. Then she stripped, completely bare and vulnerable before Agnes, important detail in a society so afraid of the "power" of the female body. Then Agnes bathes her, similar to a baptism. Becka says something like "I committed divine justice... and for you" as if Agnes is more important than the lord she has been told to revere. "I would do anything for you, Agnes."

A Handful of Nuts by Ruskin Bond, first published as Strangers in the Night: Two Novellas, 1996

when helaena asks rhaenyra “do you think living means just not being dead?” that is her trying to make her sister see sense. she is trying to tell her that rhaenyra, after all these losses, isn’t really living anymore.

the rhaenyra that she was died a little when visenya did, but she still had enough to carry on. and then luke died, and a part of her broke beyond repair.

when jace died, so did she.

and then, the final shot of the season—framed like she’s closing the doors upon her own crypt, because she's dead in all the ways that matter.

rhaenyra targaryen—the mother, the daughter, the wife, the friend, the sister—has perished. each one of them died, suffocated bit by bit under the weight of each successive tragedy. now, only the crown remains.

Yep, this move doesn’t bode well for him. At no point in HOTD has Alyn ever cared about the glory of Old Valyria. So why should Rhaenyra’s words about the higher Valyrian gods be enough for him to murder the equivalent of the Westerosi Pope? Alyn is supposed to be a dutiful person, but this is still a strange direction for his characterization.

That murder scene is yet another diversion from book canon.

At the Starry Sept, [Alyn] received the blessing of the High Septon, who traced a seven-pointed star upon his brow in holy oil.

[Alyn] sat with the scribes and maesters of the Citadel so they might set down the details of his voyage, was feted by the masters of the seven guilds, and received yet another blessing from the High Septon.

“And yet, he did nothing to prevent it.”

remus: i don't want to bother you

sirius: moony i have been following you around since we were eleven

"You know, in another life..." she said, calmly "...we belong to each other".
