Aegon&Jace'sGirl

The best thing about it is that he doesn't forget what happened. It sits with him, dictates his next moves and he remains raging and hating. That's realistic grief, especially because his *innocent* son was killed so cruelly.

Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen

Me watching this scene:

Tom Glynn-Carney as Sean in Doing Money (2018)

We’re supposed to view Helaena agreeing with Alicent as proof that her decision to betray the Greens is completely justified.

Problem is C&H have written Helaena to be a simpleton, not a voice of reason and common sense. This isn’t even me being rude, it’s a fact. By implying she’s on the spectrum (in the most ableist way imaginable I might add) they have created a character who views the world through the eyes of a child and has no concept of the real world.

Helaena has only known a life of wealth and privilege, her romanticising the idea that she can “keep chickens” is the exact same poverty porn Marie Antoinette did with her fake village. Neither queen knows the first thing about keeping chickens or living in abstract poverty, it’s just play pretend for them.

So this scene doesn’t actually prove Alicent right, instead it highlights just how stupid she truly is to genuinely think two noblewomen with 0 life skills could hack it in the real world.

Rhaenyra/Cersei

women trying to be on the iron throne, who will do anything to achieve this

devotion to their children

bastard children passed off as true born heir

become incredibly paranoid

beautiful women who embody their houses, but eventually their beauty fades, leading to them becoming self-concious

disastrous choices once in power

valonquar prophecy vs rhaenyra being killed by her little brother

jealous of someone they perceive to be prettier than them

relationship with kingsguard member

firstborn daughters

mother died giving birth to younger brother

maegor with teats/mother of madness (nicknames)

kid named joffrey

mother to two kings

disliked by smallfolk

forced by their fathers to marry men that they aren't in love with

parallels between mysaria and taena Merryweather

alicent/catelyn

want to keep their children safe by any means necessary

show!alicent asking rhaenyra for safety for her, helaena, and jaehaera is a lot like catelyn trading jaime for sansa and arya

bastard haters

mother to a king

both outlive all their children (or think they do in catelyns case)

her fear of rhaenyras children getting the throne is like catelyn thinking jon threatening robbs claim

tully words are family, duty, honour. THIS IS LITERALLY ALICENT. where is DUTY, where is sacrifice?

alicent demands lucerys's eye, and as soon as her children are threatened catelyn kidnaps tyrion

alicent stands before a dragon for aegon, catelyn fights off an assassin

master of whisperers who's in love with them: larys strong/littlefinger

aemond losing an eye is never punished, and he is threatened by his own father. sansa loses her direwolf for the actions of others

ROBB AND AEGON PARALLEL EACH OTHER SO MUCH
