Why are we so attached to the severities of the past? Why are we so proud of having endured our fathers and our mothers, the fireless days and the meatless days, the cold winters and the sharp tongues? It's not as if we had a choice.

The detail of Otto having the same hand fidgeting thing as Aegon and Alicent is so significant Becuase of the implications of such.

We know Alicent’s short comings have been passed from Otto and she passes them on to Aegon but by having small details like that hand thing also be present in Otto (in small understated moments throughout s1) really highlights that it is truely a generational cycle. By having such tiny humanising elements in his performance (paired with moments like his brother pushing him to advance Aegon) it shows he is just as much a person as Alicent, not just a source of evil that infects his children.

He’s still an awful person but he’s also not the start of this generational trauma, he is just another cog in the wheel of what was likely his own father/mother’s hand.

I must be the only person who feels like Qimir and osha are so unearned. Osha liked Yord and Jecki and she forgets that he slaughtered them? They’ve known each other like two days. Weird. And don’t get me started on how unemotional the death of Master Sol was - even if he made mistakes he was still blatantly the heart of the show.

“Otto served 3 kings he deserves at least some respect-”

No. But I will, however, respect him for serving cunt until well into his 70s💅

All the Tywin / Otto comparisons where classic GOT fans claim Otto is no where near Tywin are low-key (high key) just wrong in my opinion.

Otto is a second son of a family line that has narratively been pit against the royal line for centuries in a time where the family he is manipulating has dragons.

Tywin is the first born son of a family that has no great history against the royal line in a time where no one has dragons.

Otto manipulates his grandson onto the throne practically single handedly whilst actively at the kings side.

Tywin waited to see who would win the war before deciding to help at the end and have his daughter wed Robert - and the power Tywin manages to yield over Joffrey, would he still be able to do so if he was actually Robert Baratheons son and not just his kids weird unhinged incest baby? Hm. Maybe but it’s food for thought.

Just something to think about. I hate Otto as much as the next guy (love the performance though, get that emmy Rhys Ifans) but what he achieved was in insane, much more so than Tywin, especially considering his standing in the world.
