Like dawg why are we presenting the uncle/niece 2 for 1 combo of alyn and baela and daemon and rhaenyra as somehow morally ok incest couples. Why did the only interrogation of what dameon did to rhaenyra happen in s2 with those harrenhal dreams and then he was somehow absolved of everything by believing she should be queen because of a prophecy.

Thanks to sum-42 for her art that inspired me!

Immediately starting my rewatch of the season now that it's wrapped up. I do love how sinister Jace comes off in this scene. It's always been an undercurrent of the character, from bringing the knife in 1x07 to lashing out at Luke in 1x10 and Ulf in 2x08, but never really emphasized by the show until now.

He strips his own mother of her agency and authority, knowing people will listen to him because the Black Council at the time is a bunch of misogynists, and he does it with the assurance that HE won't be punished for it. "Your life for hers," as in he fully knows that Ser Lorent is going to die unnecessarily for HIS choice and commands it done anyway.

It's a really interesting choice for what is essentially Jace's last big scene. He's always been the nice, dutiful son in contrast to the menaces that are Aegon and Aemond. He vows "My ruler is my mother, and I do not wish it otherwise" in 2x06, but this scene shows that even he is susceptible to the patriarchal order that looms over all of them that enables men to be their worst selves. When he finally has enough and thinks he knows better, he will use his privilege as a man to exert authority over her. Even Jace can't escape the corrupting influence of their whole society.

Essos Infographic: Dothraki

"The Dothraki people are a culture of nomadic warriors in Essos who range across the vast grasslands of the Dothraki seain hordes known as khalasars. People of the Seven Kingdoms and the Free Citiesalso refer to the Dothraki as horselords.

Dothraki typically have copper-toned skin, black hair, and black, almond-shaped eyes.Dothraki men wear their hair in long braids, oiled or greased with fat from the rendering pits.Dothraki warriors carry small bells in their braids, which ring softly when they move. They are only allowed to braid their hair after they have won a victory. A bell is added to their braid after each victory; The braid is only cut when a Dothraki warrior is defeated in battle, an act through which he lets the world know his shame. Only few men die with their braids never having been cut off.Men further might wear metal rings bound in their mustachios.

Both men and women might wear painted leather vests over bare chests and horsehair leggings cinched by bronzemedallion belts, although wealthier Dothraki might also have silver and golden medallions on their belts. Others might wear sandsilk trousers. For footwear Dothraki wear leather boots, leather sandals which lace up to the knee, or sandals of woven grass." - A Wiki of Ice and Fire (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Dothraki)
