I'm getting tired of this "if the war can be averted...I have a duty to try" shit, like the show keeps having these lead characters say it every episode. And it only really made sense in episode 10 of S1, before Luke died, there was a chance for that. The crown was usurped, but there'd been no major casualties.

But after Luke's death, Alicent kept saying it. And now after Jaehaerys' death, Rhaenyra is saying it.

And like, GURLS, DARLINGS, WE'RE HERE. THE WAR IS HERE. IMMA NEED YOU BOTH TO ACCEPT THAT.

People have DIED. You've both lost CHILDREN (well Rhaenyra and Helaena have). We're not coming back from that. The war isn't going to be curbed now.

And the stupid fucking misunderstood prophecy rearing its ugly head yet again. Like Rhaenyra, babes, you thought Alicent was going to change her mind NOW!???

Like c'mon, writers...let the war, WAR already 😭😭💀 Let these women get behind it and LEAD it already 😭💀

#hotd #like this isn't even team related #this aimed at the writers really #I'm confused why they keep halting the progress of the war at this point #Rhaenyra reading Alicent's letter NOW shouldn't mean as much as they're telling it does #it's too late 💀💀#LIKE 'she sent her condolences' ANDDDD your kid is still dead #what is Rhaenyra gonna do #apologize for Jaehaerys too LIKE IT'S TOO LATEEEEE #the whole meeting in the sept was CRAZY there was never going to be anything to gain there 💀💀#what 'peaceful' solution was Rhaenyra looking for???#there's two options here either YOU surrender or AEGON DOES that's it that's all #i cannot with the writing sometimes i fucking swear💀💀
