House of the Dragon 2nd rewatch - 1x10 The Black Queen

sooo funny that in the recap before episode 1x10, they put the scene of rhaenyra ripping the book page and giving it to alicent. it was like "okay for the casual viewers, please remember the page, it is suddenly gonna become Very Important".

lucerys really getting the "this character is going to die very soon so let's give him screentime and tender moments" GoT treatment in this episode lmao.

If you think about it, the Dragonstone bridge is kind of The Otto/Daemon place.

It’s so funny that Orwyle went with Otto all the way to Dragonstone to deliver the terms to Rhaenyra so he could, what, tuck the little homosexual book page in his sleeve? Otto like, I need the assistance of the Grand Maester so the page is more legitimate?? Lmaoo.

Otto: Queen Alicent eagerly awaits your answer. / Daemon: She can have her answer now, stuffed in her father’s mouth along with his withered cock. / Rhaenyra: *shedding one lonely tear* ……she kept the page all this time.

Daemon there wasn’t really any need for you to talk about Otto’s cock while threatening to kill him……

When Rhaenys says “The Stranger casts a long shadow over this family”…. No one has ever been more correct.

Corlys: our pursuit for the Iron Throne is at an end / Rhaenys: ofc you had to wait until both our children and your brother were death to decide that.

Oh my god I just realized Jace was the one that had the idea of delivering the messages to the Starks, Baratheon and Arryn by dragon….. he must be slowly burning with the guilt of Luke’s death even if it wasn’t his fault.

Rhaenyra’s hair in 1x10 looks super nice I wish she had that same wig in 1x07.

If I were Lucerys, the moment I saw Vhagar I would’ve gotten back on my dragon and flew back home are you kidding me???

Aemond playing around with Vhagar like she’s a water gun and not the oldest living dragon.

No but Rhaenyra crying in front of Otto out of all people because Alicent kept the page for 20 years….very powerful stuff.

[alicentalicent]

Daemon with long hair = full commitment with the Targaryen legacy, Viserys’ heir. Daemon with short hair = his own path, King of the Narrow Sea in defiance of Viserys and the Targaryen legacy. Daemon with shoulder length hair = a compromise, King Consort, Targaryen but not enough.

[alicentalicent]

Sorry I've rewatched it and I'm so basic.

House of the Dragon 2nd rewatch - 1x09 The Green Council

Viserys’ last words being “my love”. They love parallels so what if Rhaenyra’s last words are “my love” referring to Alicent?

The Green Council is such a good episode I could lick my screen right now

Those first scenes in the small hours of the night and the Red Keep is silent and not a single soul is walking its halls? PERFECTION

written for television by SARA HESS. directed by CLARE KILNER. Homosexuality INCOMING.

If you think about it the Green Council is just about Alicent vs. Otto in all possible ways. The first time Alicent rebels against him and it was all just to guarantee Rhaenyra would survive the (inevitable) usurpation.

Alicent my baby that smiles at the worst possible times I love you so much.

Olivia acted the SHIT out of this episode it’s truly mesmerizing.

Aegon being safely tucked away in the Sept under the altar…. The first thing he says is “I want my mother”…..when you want to be a momma’s boy so bad but she doesn’t like you At All…

Wait hehe Criston fell in the stairs of the sept, just as Alicent :P

Criston cannot smile normally he always smiles like a psychopath. Another Alicent parallel? :P

Otto: You look so much like your mother in certain lights / Alicent: yikes.

Btw Otto you’re a certified freak I’m sure you meant that as a compliment but you should Really stop treating your daughter as your wife.

The feet scene is so fucking evil. The close-up of Alicent’s feet to Larys masturbating to a close-up of Alicent’s face turned away and her expression crumbling like that I fucking want to die. Alicent is breathing super fast like she’s having a panic attack UGH IM GONNA THROW UP.

I find it interesting that Larys is always killing by fire, giving the orders but not committing the act himself. First his brother and father…then Mysaria’s house. Ultimately helping Aegon escape and sending him to Dragonstone, which will lead to Aegon killing Rhaenyra by fire.

Why is Ser Erryk manhandling Rhaenys like that show SOME RESPECT.

That scene with Aegon and Alicent in the wheelhouse before his coronation is So Important to me…

Whenever Alicent mentions Rhaenyra in front of Aegon, he bristles. Whenever Alicent mentions Aegon in front of Rhaenyra, she bristles. They both want what the other has, and Alicent is in the middle like "yikes"

aegon's coronation scene its incredibly good and you know why? because it's all about alicent. the green dress song is playing, ALICENT is the one being filmed while aegon is being crowned LMAO and they really thought he was going to be in the main poster for S2 :(((((

Otto is acting like he gave birth to Aegon JSKKJSAjasj #mpreg

[alicentalicent]

Sounds Alicent makes when she’s arguing with Otto about offering terms to Rhaenyra in 1x09:

Big Tired Sigh

Guilty Homosexual Gulp

Annoyed Tongue Clicking

[alicentalicent]

bro it's your coronation but they're making it all about your mom. bro wait maybe this scene is about your mom fulfilling her duty. bro wait i think you're not the main character but your mom is.......

“Shame can be hot if you try hard enough” -Alicent Hightower

[alicentalicent]

I CAN and WILL make everything about Alicent Hightower

[alicentalicent]

I watched Disobedience (2017)…Esti is so Alicent coded.

Esti Kuperman, a lesbian in a marriage that was an institutional obligation. Esti Kuperman, who never got over her lost young love, who reached out against her own benefit, who never stopped loving her. (Alicent)

Esti Kuperman said: “i used to think about your life in new york. i tried to imagine your room. i kept track of the time difference... so i knew when you were awake and when you were asleep”..... Alicent Hightower��living in Rhaenyra’s old bedroom.

Esti Kuperman likes it when Ronit spits in her mouth. You know who else has a running water theme going on that could make this possible? Alicent Hightower :)

Esti and Ronit fell back into the easy familiarity of their teenage love, into the recklessness too. You know who else goes back to their teen selves whenever they meet? Alicent and Rhaenyra :)

This review of Disobedience could be a review for Rhaenicent.

“a bond so strong that they fall back in sync with each other like second nature, even if they try to fight against it. even if it won’t work. and yet they choose each other, even if for a few minutes”

House of the Dragon 2nd rewatch - 1x08 The Lord of the Tides

Directed by Geeta Patel: homosexuality INCOMING.

The outfit choices for Rhaenyra in this episode.........only one dress works the rest are slop.

12 minutes into the episode and still no Alicent?

Here is my gorgeous gorgeous queen with her BIG ASS STAR LMAO.

This scene at the council is SO funny Otto is literally falling asleep and Alicent is stifling a yawn.

Alicent is almost falling asleep but when Ser Harrold announces her guests have arrived she perked the fuck out like a fucking puppy. Girl, you are not subtle at all and I love you for that.

Okay this is so funny Alicent literally interrupted the council because she “MUST greet our guests” and she’s walking sooo fast to go see Rhaenyra after all those years that’s a Certified Fggot.

And Ser Erryk comes to tell her about Aegon and she’s like “whatever it is, it’ll need to wait” she was desperate to see Rhaenyra ugh #thatsMYalicent.

I remember very clearly when 1x08 first aired and every one I knew was losing their shit over adult Aemond.

It’s so funny how from the very first scene he appears, adult Aemond is like: yes everything I do is supposed to mirror Daemon look how I smirk all mischievous hehe.

I don’t know what Vaemond expected from calling Rhaenyra a whore in front of the whole court and in Viserys’ face he literally had a death wish.

The way Alicent says “your graciousness moves me deeply, Princess” is extremely homosexual. Everything about the toasts scene is peak homosexuality.

Okay but why Lucerys had to be a little shit during the dinner huh?? I blame Daemon.

[alicentalicent]

House of the Dragon 2nd rewatch - 1x07 Driftmark

Daemon laughing at his wife’s funeral…..not a serious bone in him. I mean sure he was laughing at Vaemond using his speech at Laena’s funeral to make a jab at Rhaenyra and her children but STILL. god

Love how much of this episode is about gazes. A lot of things unsaid, but still there, present.

Please someone give Otto a comb, he's STRUGGLING.

Alicent’s face after Viserys calls her Aemma I AM CRYING. In front of EVERYONE, so humiliating omfg I want to die.

I wish Rhaenyra was there I would like to see her reaction to her father calling Alicent by her mother's name.

Otto kicking Aegon that’s a Latino dad.

That moment when young Aemond tries to approach Jace at Driftmark to console him or just be cordial and not knowing how / understanding he shouldn’t. The apple don’t fall far from the tree and all of that.

A lot of the discourse about Dritfmark Alicent centers around her reaction during the knife scene only. But what about her remorse after? What about her conversation with Otto where he's PROUD of her cause she showed her claws, proud that she had that side of her. What about how she latched into religion even more after this, pursuing a path to righting her wrongs? Anyways Alicent is not Driftmark Alicent, she never was, she never will. Anyone who thinks so is forgetting her words "I am at last myself."

Btw when Rhaenyra says to Daemon "Fire is a prison. The sea offers an escape." and the scene cuts to Alicent in a boat????? heheh i see what you did there

[alicentalicent]

Ranking the lines from the Driftmark scene:

1. It’s trampled under your pretty foot again 😩

2. Where is DUTY? where is SACRIFICE? 🤬

3. But now they see you AS YOU ARE 👹

4. What have I done but what was expected of me??? 🥺

5. Lucerys screaming like an eagle 🦅

Alicent Hightower’s arc poses the radical idea that women deserve to exist beyond the concept of motherhood

House of the Dragon 2nd rewatch - 1x06 The Princess and The Queen

The birthing scene is so messy and visceral and the camera barely leaves Rhaenyra's face, it's very well done 10/10

Obsessed with Rhaenyra and Laenor using just #her and #she to talk about Alicent. She who shouldn't-be-named lest they invoke the evil she represents? She, who is so ever present in their conversations that a name is not necessary. She, the one whose name hurts.

Alicent and Rhaenyra's are like cats in a hissing contest in this episode. Their passive aggression is so compelling, I love this soap opera.

Alicent: Rhaenyra’s children don’t look like Laenor AT ALL. Viserys: listen but horse genetics say that it can happen.

I will never get over the look on Alicent’s face when Criston called Rhaenyra a spoiled cunt. I know she was calling him a slur in her mind.

This episode is so hard to watch Alicent keeps distracting me with how pretty she is and how great her hair looks.

The scene when Alicent yells at Aegon to drill her point home and then gets self-conscious that she kinda lost control a bit but obviously she can’t apologize cause that would undermine her point and also why would she? She’s in the right. I love her she’s so maladjusted.

I bet Daemon wishes his name had been Aegon.

That scene where Daemon is flying on Caraxes and Laena is on Vhagar and he open is arms in the air like “look im driving with no hands” is sooooo corny. lmao he thinks he’s so cool. No, you are silly and corny.

I wonder at what point Aegon stopped showing to sword lessons.

The council scene in 1x06 is genius for so many reasons (like Alicent canonically using Rhaenyra's lactation as an excuse to look at her boobs Four times (I counted)), but I’m obsessed with Rhaenyra being quiet and even bored until Alicent speaks and then Rhaenyra immediately contradicts her just for the sake of it.

Alicent and Larys' relationship is hard to analyze for me cause it evokes a lot of awful feelings. But this scene where she is so comfortable around his presence shows us they were actually friends at some point, Alicent really needed someone that was on her team (besides Criston) and it makes what happens in 1x09 even more real and sinister and awful.

After Laena's death, Daemon is just as unable to give emotional support to his daughters as Viserys with Rhaenyra.

[alicentalicent]

in episode 1x06 we see how alicent interacts with each of her children, considering that she shows her affection with touch.

she touches helaena's arm, which openly displeases helaena.

in the same scene she hugs aemond, and he sinks into it. (i like that both moments happen in the same scene, with the two children she's affectionate with)

then we have aegon, the child she does not give affection to, but rather grabs his face harshly.

she then realizes she lost control a bit and was too harsh, even if it was to protect him and make him understand what's at stake, and she brushes his hair, trying to soothe the hurt she already inflicted.

it does not work.

[alicentalicent]

every single word coming out of laenor's mouth is completely unhelpful and so funny. this show is a comedy
