Rhaenyra's been losing everything and everybody but Emma's first thought is Alicent. And I thought nothing could outgay the Entrainement Weekly S2 promo...!

Now... People are really getting mad at them for their answer? It's a stupid game, Fabien was litterally talking about his damn wig! It's not that serious! Emma's answer isn't even crazy. One of the first thing show Rhaenyra lost his her relationship with Alicent and it shapes the entire story!

Rather you like it or not, that's the heart of the show, always have been and always will. Some of y'all are grown adults twice my age, get over it! We get it y'all hate Rhaenicent, it's worst thing ever and bleh, bleh, bleh. And y'know what? And that's fine, to each their own. But y'know what that also implies? That you can read the book and leave the cast members alone.

Y'all have been freaking disgusting and racist toward the Velaryon actors, Emily Carey's mother had to publicly defend her child, Jaehera actress had to leave the show (a 6 YO??), Olivia Cooke deactivated her instagram and some of you cheered about (don't get me started on the fuckass rumors about her sleeping her way in with Condal), y'all misgender Emma D'arcy out of spite. And the list goes on and it's still not enough for you!!

Leave these people alone! They are just doing their jobs. They are allowed to like the version of the story, even if you don't! They are allowed to act and talk according. GET A GRIP FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!

First of all, y’all not putting spoilers warning pisses me me off. It’s not even hard to do so. Some of us haven’t been spoiled yet and would like to remain such, especially when it comes to show only stuff, basic fandom etiquette.

Whatever, let’s adress the elephant in the room: Alicent and Aemond.

Do I think this leak is real? Yes. Aemond keeps looking for comfort with an older woman who has brownish curls and the same nose shape as Emily Carey.

We also got that shot of Alys wearing a blue dress and a waist chain. And now, when I think about some looks he gave Alicent in S2, I’m like Oh. Also, that boy is insane and out of control, thinking he’s entitled to kissing his Mom (someone who clearly doesn’t want him to) seems very Aemond-ish to do. I’m just a little surprised they'd go as far to show his mommy issues (was more expecting him to do it to Harrenhal-hallucination Alicent)

In this whole Oedipus complex thing, Aemond is Oedipus and Alicent is Jocasta. But who is Laius? This obvious answer would be Viserys, his father and the King. However he’s already dead, Alicent didn’t love him as a lover (and less than her kids), Aemond was rather indifferent toward him and never showed any will to kill him.

Which now leave us with a second option: Cristion (aka Alicent’s dildo). It’s not been shown that Aemond knows about him and Alicent, but he’s smart enough to connect the dots. Nevertheless Aemond gets along with him and he has no interest in killing him. Let’s be real, Alicent may be not Mom #1 but she’s not picking him over kids, nor is she in a dilemma of which love pulls her more. I could even argue that Alicent isn’t even actually attracted to Criston but that’s a topic for another time. He’s not competition!

Then we have Aegon, the King, Aemond tried to kill him and has hurt him enough to steal his place. Nevertheless, his rivalry with Aegon is only about power (and revenge for all the bullying he inflicted on him) not Alicent's affection. Aegon is definitely not attracted to Alicent, she's not either. So, big bro is out!

I think you might have guessed where this is going… Who is the "King", related to Aemond, way older than him, has been/is romantically involved with Alicent (a bond Aemond even called love), someone he wants to kill and an actual obstacle in the love Alicent has for her kids, all at once? Who is a competition serious enough to be Laius? That’s right, mother-fucking (literally) Rhaenyra!!

In this scenario, Rhaenyra is Laius! Like c’mon, she has the throne, the mother, the mother's heart, and Aemond wants her dead!

Sweetheart, you're never going to believe what I'm about to tell you...

"High stakes to hold onto each other and feelings a new rib that we both developed from malnutrition. "

Emma and Olivia, you have no idea how much my Rhaenicent-obsessed brain is worshipping you two right now.

Happy pride month, Rhaenicent fanart for a sapphic collab I hosted

Quality's so bad but you can see her gaze moving up Alicent's form...

Oh Rhaenyra Fagaryen, you're so gonna cheat again

Someone pointed it out that Rhaenyra is twisting her wedding ring in the trailer scene and I noticed she's not doing in the Driftmark one. With how intentional hotd is with visual details, I think there might be something there! (delusion)

I think this might why Alicent is in a maid outfit (same as the servants in the scene). Rhaenyra is going to make her, their Green queen, serve them the proof of her victory. She's showing how much she can disgrace them since she did it to the Queen Dowager, of all people.

Look, this looks like the same room (probably the other side of the room behind Rhaenyra) with the exact same lighting! (I already said I'm obsessed with colors)
