people being shocked and frustrated by Alicent not comforting Aegon is funny because they clearly haven't been following the same "child bride, married by 14, two kids by 18, routinely martially raped, emotionally repressed, guilt-ridden" character that I've been following for the past two years.

#“She didn't comfort him!”#have we...considered that she literally doesn't know how to??#“She could've just hugged him!”#are we talking about the same woman who is approached by physical touch as a sexual/abusive transaction??#“She's a bad parent!”#yes?? we know??#sometimes the cycle wins guys. sometimes. the fucking cycle wins.#Alicent Hightower couldn't get out. and now she's stuck looking at the mirror every time she looks at Aegon.#and so. she won't look at Aegon.#hotd #house of the dragon #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #text #team green
