Having Helaena and Alicent go through The Horrors™ again as they'd have to conceal Helaena's pregnancy and/or withstand a miscarriage/forced abortion/harrowing childbirth knowing that the baby will be killed or taken from them is only gulpable IF it re-emphasizes the murder of Jaehaerys and further establishes how cruel Rhaenyra & Daemon can be when power and legitimacy are concerned despite efforts to remain unchanged and unsullied by it
(Rowan and Nil are by @biposi, they are added just for fun)
Another reason why Colin will always be the best brother!
do the hotd writers not understand that the show would be infinately more compelling if they stuck to the books in providing both sides with nuanced portrayals? in framing team black as oppressed saints and team green as unsympathetic fools they only work to make all the characters less enjoyable.
what purpose has removing maelor from the show (therefore ruining daeron's future storyline if they ever include him) other than making b&c less psychologically damaging for helaena? why was alicent not here? the parallels of grief meant to be drawn in 'a son for a son' were ultimately stripped in all of these decisions. helaena doesn't even call her dead son by his name when telling alicent about it- its all so detached and disappionting.
oh and of course this was all a mistake which daemon had no part in.

LULU (JAEHAERA TARGARYEN) with mark stobbart (cheese) and sam c. wilson (blood) behind the scenes on the set of hotd s2.
Nothing upsets me as much as the absolute fuckup that was B&C in the show. Sometimes I can not even believe it.
Not even going to mention Maelor, because GRRM already did (not wanting to hire toddlers my ass. That wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t choose to de-age like four tweens into toddlers)
But removing Alicent is just weird.
Blood & Cheese is not a debated passage, it is seen as straight up fact. The only things that aren’t completely confirmed are the details of the orders.
Let me get this straight:
Alicent was a victim of Blood and Cheese. They broke into her room, and bound her so she couldn’t scream and then made her watch the murder of her grandson.
Making her end Blood & Cheese in a borderline comedic scene of Helaena walking in on her mom is so genuinely fucked up.
Ryan Condal saying that it is somehow is propaganda is straight up false. That is literally him writing his own fanfiction.
Instead of Alicent going through Blood & Cheese with Helaena and her grandchildren, we get her riding Criston. Which I honestly think was just to make her a hypocrite regarding her treatment of Rhaenyra.
Alicent and Criston has no hint at having a sexual and/or romantic relationship in the books, so Ryan Condal decided to make up a situationship so Alicent could be a hypocrite by not being there during Blood and Cheese.
Not to mention that Blood and Cheese were the protagonists in what they called “black comedy” instead of the victims who barley got screen time. They felt that it was so much more important to show the child murderers than said children.
