"It all goes back and back to our mothers and fathers and theirs before them."

Aegon, Helaena, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera in House of the Dragon (2022-)

The time is coming, Alicent. Either you prepare Aegon to rule, or you cleave to Rhaenyra and pray for her mercy.

Episode 5 Daemon crashing Rhaenyra’s wedding, but it’s Bollywood style.

That's Kryspy Cream's whole shabang, being a hypocrite

Crispin Cole sleeps with a princess, confesses to it, murders a man with bare hands on a royal wedding in front of everyone and gets promoted as a personal queen’s guard.

Ser Harwin Strong punches a bitch on the face for his attempt to slander the princess and gets shamefully sent away to Harrenhal stripped of his title as captain of the City’s watch.

This is fucking hypocrisy

Just now re-watching I noticed that Viserys was the one that send tea to Rhaenyra room, basically that imply he didn't believe her, yet, send Otto away.

Like imaging being Alicent, she not only found out that Rhaenyra lied to her and slept with the guy she had a crush on, but as well she couldn't trust her husband because even knowing the true he cover up and send her father away. So that is why the dress scene was such a powerful scene for me.

She was complete isolated and cornered, so instead of hiding she show up at the wedding wearing a dress with the color of her house. A declaration of war, a little girl against all these powerful men with dragons.

She had played the dutiful daughter, the blushing bride, the pliant wife....all the while promising herself that one day it would be her turn.

A Feast for Crows

[xthecaptainssaviorx]

“Fabien had been crying and playing this raw emotion for hours, then there was this moment where he said he saw an innocence in me, which is something I hadn’t consciously been giving off or something that I was trying to play. But I think what Alicent is feeling was that there’s someone else who’s just as lost as she is. There’s this love that she feels for him that she maybe doesn’t quite understand.” - Emily Carey

Criston and Alicent's "unspoken bond"

[judasalicent]

reading people’s opinions on differences between rhaenyra in season 1a and 1b is mind numbing. it’s literally your own fault you don’t See It

[helaemond]

‘take me to dragonstone and make me your wife.’

[winnie-the-monster]

[falllpoutboy]

the “rhaenyra is in the middle of alicent and criston’s relationship” point becomes moot when you remember that he spent at least twice the number of years at alicent’s side than he ever did with rhaenyra
