rhaenicent so real

i am literally in shock at that alicent and rhaenyra scene, even if it all goes to shit in the end, the love was there...and they BOTH know the love is still there they could see it in each other's eyes. "come with me" alicent pleads, rhaenyra's genuine smile, the soft "go" with tears in both of their eyes

alicent is literally the spouse who shows up at 3am to her ex wife's house rambling about how she's been taking more walks in the woods lately and started a new kombucha tea diet and that everything is okay now and we can still work things out actually while her ex wife is staring at her from the porch wondering if she's on drugs or not

"that was so unrealistic for alicent to do!!" "there was no reason for another rhaenyra and alicent reunion scene wah wah wah!!!" do people not understand at this point that this is what gay people do? that they can easily break the rules of law, time, and physics when they want to see each other? that they find a way to talk with each other when almost all forms of normal communication have been taken away? whether it's behind a wendy's parking lot at 4am or it's in a church dressed up like nuns, if gay people want to see each other, they will find a way
