Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower House of the Dragon, S03E07

INDUSTRY The Commander and the Grey Lady

One of the most important things I have learned today..

Humiliation, 2010

Now if someone had beaten Alicent to Viserys he might have tried it. Gwayne is the son of a second son and would be outranked by a lot of actual heirs and lords trying for Rhaenyra’s hand so his ass is getting dragged to court and ordered to make sure Rhaenyra personally likes him so he gets picked. Otto then insists on 50 different iron clad clauses to solidify the legality of a female heir, subtly guilt trips Viserys about how wonderful it is that he’s doing this for Aemma like once a week, makes 100% sure there are legitimate grandkids whether Gwayne is gay or bi (it is not optional and he’s going to be a psychopath about it), and he and Hobert would start a campaign about how any challenges to Rhaenyra are against the faith itself because shes uhhhhhhh clearly the image of the mother [citation needed]. Now would Gwayne and Rhaenyra get along? Irrelevant. Would there be a civil war anyway? Yes. Also Daemon would absolutely try to kill little teenage Gwayne in a duel for interfering with his grooming so we may not even get that far

what the hell, sure. Otto hears this from the spy he has under their bedroom floorboards to ensure his grandchildren are being produced and is like for fucks sake finally something in common, now how can I gaslight with this? The next day he shows up to Viserys with a 3,298 year old book and is like I believe Rhaenyra should be king instead of queen since dragons don’t have a gender, it makes more sense since the gods have ordained her and women don’t inherit she’s not literally a woman. Gwayne opens his mouth to ask just what kind of bullshit Otto is going to make him do now and Rhaenyra is like no shut up that makes sense let him finish

Real still of Otto explaining the total logical sense of King Rhaenyra who he loves like his own child. No I did not forget to give him a pin for Gwayne, he’s not wearing one because he would never give one of his actual children positive reinforcement
