The stay-at-home-mom!Alicent agenda or whatever in modern rhaenicent fics is so interesting because in the show only one of them was a sahm…and it wasn’t Alicent.
#rhaenicent#I think it’s just that Alicent is portrayed as more traditionally femme#plus Emma being non-binary#no hate just find it interesting how y’all’s minds work#and that sounded bitchy but im being genuine#because rhaenyra literally disappeared to dragon stone for years just to raise her sons#and Alicent stayed in the red keep to rule#like the whole show?#I think a lot of people fall in the trap of making seeing alicent as traditionally feminine in every aspect#for a lot of reasons#but mostly because of her feminine appearance and the appearance of her actress#whereas despite not being traditionally feminine rhaenyra definitely loves being a mom#so in modern aus where they have a choice I can’t see alicent being a sahm and rhaenyra being a working mom#but that’s just me#also thinking about gender roles within queer relationships in one of my pastimes so#and how society has pushed them upon queer people#as someone that looks very femme I get pushed into roles a lot that make me truly uncomfortable
