I can’t believe I need to say this at all.

But Alicent and Rhaenyra can have consensual sexual relationships with other people that aren’t each other. And they don’t have to be thinking about each other or using their partner as some sort of filler or replacement. Even if you’re a rhaenicent shipper.

Especially when the only time I see people being this up is when they are sleeping with non-white characters. Pretty much nobody said Rhaenyra was thinking of Alicent when she was with daemon and nobody said Alicent was thinking of Rhaenyra when she was with Viserys. But now that Rhaenyra kissed Mysaria and Alicent has been with Criston…they’re suddenly only thinking about each other. After two decades of being estranged?

And for a different subset of this group. If Rhaenyra can be with mysaria and not think of Alicent. Then both Criston and Alicent can have a relationship that isn’t hinged upon wanting Rhaenyra. I see too many posts under both the Criston and Alicent tags about how they are using each other to think of Rhaenyra and that is crazy talk because they have been estranged from Rhaenyra for 2 decades and have been each other’s support systems for 2 decades. They don’t need Rhaenyra to bond them.

I’m just annoyed. Yes, Alicent and Rhaenyra’s relationship is central to the plot. But they are two fully fledged people outside of their childhood bond. They can have wants and motives outside of each other. And that doesn’t detract from their bond that clearly still does influence them.

Two things can be true at once. Rhaenyra and Alicent have weaknesses for one another because they both grieve and long for their bond as girls (romantic or platonic, it doesn’t matter). And, Rhaenyra and Alicent exist outside of each other and can make decisions that are unrelated to one another

i’m genuinely shocked by this:

how can someone miss the point by such a large margin that they end up implying that Rhaenyra’s cause would have had no positive impact on the women of the realm?

how can one’s thought process be so far removed from the actual reality? is this the inconsistent logic one must tangle in to become a green? have these people never sat in a history class before?

jeyne arryn anyone? does she not exist to them? a point actually made in the book (not one twisted by the greens to advance their agenda) was that her rulership of the vale would’ve been seriously endangered and put into question if the greens won. but that is conveniently ignored by these interesting… folks.

i can understand the anger this person has with the horrible dance of the dragons adaptation and its treatment of female characters. and i mean it. especially when i say female characters. because alicent isn’t the female character who’s actually getting the shortest end of the stick. it was rhaenyra and rhaenys who were the most grievously declawed. rhaenyra is queen. her council is supposed to be her council. the war is supposed to be her war for her throne, not for some stupid prophecy that should’ve logically been lost a long time ago. and rhaenys is a baratheon with a temper and a dragon rider who would’ve burnt the greens and melted their bones if she had the chance. but for some reason the show decided to make a whole new character and slap rhaenys name on it.

to be clear: rhaenyra and rhaenys were powerful in their own right. they had dragons and were a part of the royal dynasty with claims to the throne. their power is theirs. it is derived from them.

alicent’s power is derived from the power of the men she is related to. that’s literally what the queen dowager title means. her influence is dependent on if the men in her life and her children listen to her. they don’t have to, and many characters don’t listen to her in the book, which is why i say she wasn’t the most grievously declawed.

it’s also hilarious that this person considers the queen dowager position to be the most powerful position in the greens court. they must have never read a cersei chapter as she faces her loss of power, which showcases the fickle nature of the power women hold in the westerosi patriarchy.

the correct sequence of power in the greens court is: the usurper king. then the hand. then the princes, specifically the usurper kings brothers, and then the queen consort, as they have dragons and claims to the throne. then the lords who can call on armies and fleets and have coffers that run deep. then the queen dowager, who has little influence outside of kings landing and therefore not as much influence in court as others.

the case the screenshotted post tries to make is that non-targ women’s positions aren’t advanced by rhaenyra being queen, which, as i pointed out above, is not true, nor is it what rhaenyra is fighting for. rhaenyra fought for her throne, which she had a legal claim to. that’s all. many houses joined her instead of joining the usurpers because of many different reasons, but, imo, three of the most important reasons for joining the blacks/staying neutral were 1) women’s inheritance rights (and women in general) should be respected 2) the head of the houses heir and the heirs right to inherit should be respected 3) oaths should be respected.

i also want to point out that women, most obviously targaryen women, did lose power after rhaenyra’s death and due to the concessions made to the greens and their ideology by the blacks for peace along with anti-rhaenyra propaganda that set women’s inheritance rights and the general power they could hold back by quite a lot.

and funnily enough, we see this first with jaehaera, who, while was a queen, was most likely murdered by the character who was supposed to be guarding her because no one gave a shit about a targaryen girls status and the potential consequences of killing her because they knew they could get away with it; and her death directly led to alicent’s line ending. the reality is that there were practically no consequences, as it seemed to have been easily covered up as a suicide, because the targaryens lost so much power after the dance, which directly put the targaryen women in the line of fire. if the targaryen women couldn’t be used they’d be discarded. and jaehaera, a simple girl who’s entire family was all dead besides one, and who’s father was greatly disliked by many, was an eyesore to those who wished for more power. so she was killed. brutally.

and the reason the women of house targaryen were so vulnerable? it’s because they had no claim to anything anymore! no one could try to use jaehaera for power so no greedy lords sought her favor nor did any want to protect her! and jaehaera is just the start because afterwards we get the maidens in the vault, then viserys ii is installed over daena, and then everything about naerys and her horrid husband, maekar over daenora, and eventually everything concludes with young princess rhaenys and rhaella over a hundred years later. tragic.

it’s literally downhill after rhaenyra’s death.

[the-witch-of-woods-beyond]

the fact that both helaena and aegon immediately refused to have their son's body pulled through crowded streets and yet it still happened anyway because everyone around them is more focused on exploiting this tragedy than comforting the people involved is breaking my heart a little. like i despise aegon, but his own mother walked away from him crying his eyes out in grief and disrespected his wishes for his dead child. and don't even get me started on everyone neglecting helaena and alicent worried about saving her own skin instead of trying to comfort her daughter and listen to her as she grieves.

New Ninjago DRS1 Part 2 Images Leaked(? Revealed??? Idk I stole them off of Twitter)

I don't really know what to say other than that these sure are images? The second one is the Spirit of the Temple from the Dragon Energy Core Temple, so I guess Lloyd is at that temple?

[honeynclove]

the belpegor redesign perhaps

[fizzy0bloom]

i finde it funny how everyone looked at charlie's new design and expected her to be more 'muture' but shes just her old selfe but worse, same with vaggie

i started to notcie how they are shifting from redeeming sinners plot(really sad about that btw) and introducing new characters so fast

messy to say the least (after the fact that s2 and maybe 3 is on the way wow)

not even gonna talk about ep4 becuse its just viv and that artist fetish at this point (also husk calling angel a loser because of his sa was out of place and annoying)

they are just jumping around things and arent giving the main characters their time to shine in my opinion

sorry for any spelling mistakes btw

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I dunno why I find this so funny. TT0TT

Kyoshi/Sozin being low key haters. Sozin/Rangi being polar opposite 'Fire Nation companion of the Avatar' (she'd never doubt a Fire Sage). Or that Kyoshi can't make a comment or say one thing without the universe wanting to prove her wrong (even a generation later after she's dead TT0TT)
