"Have the indignites of your childhood not yet been sufficiently avenged?"

Thank you, Alicent! Bullied as a child & made it his whole damn personality.

Oh. My. God. I just watched a video theorizing that Helaena is Alys Rivers........

and as much as I don't think that's true because of what Gayle Rankin said about her character, I meaaaaaaaaan.......... I mean, IMAGINE the possibilities. We've all talked about how Alys as she appears to Daemon could be a hallucination only he sees. Like, a representation of something else, in human form to gain his trust, communicate with him and kinda... "seduce him". I mean, again, in the final episode, only Daemon interracted with Alys. Even when Rhaenyra came, no shot of Alys, Alys was nowhere to be seen. You could say "well she was in her laboratory"... and like, SURE. BUT ALSO??????????? What if, "Alys" is hundreds of years old, because she's a "projection" of the Dreamers/Magic powers, of Helaena travelling through time and space like Bran does in GOT?? WHAT IF Alys in Harrenhal is a manifestation of Helaena's power mixed with something else........ Cue to Helaena, talking about Aemond's death in past tense: meaning she could have already forseen it, but also that it could already be in the past for her. OR on the other hand, WHAT IF Helaena's powers are a residual of Alys' magic. The parallel between Alys and Helaena has been established as far as the moment in the Throne Room with Aemond, the music and all...... this was not a coincidence. (it's especially interesting because Aemond offered Helaena to go to Harrenhal with him... WHAT IF she goes???!) There is something there! 👀 And I, for one, am Intrigued(tm)

HOTD SPOILERS N THOTS

I gotta get this out of me

Things I'm excited for:

-we get to have Jace for at least ONE more season

-Rhaenyra is def taking King's Landing next season so byebye Otto woo

-I need to see Aemond goes balls to the wall its what I ordered ok

What I think will happen that veers from that book:

-if they really killed sunfyre, they might end up giving Cannibal to Aegon to try to make some poetic family cannibalism metaphor or something

-Maybe Rhaena will lose Sheepstealer in battle and then end up getting Morning anyway???

-Maybe (HEAR Me OUT) they will end up showing Daemon having survived at the end of this all....maybe he actually dies and then some poor soul fishing gets him out of the water and saves his life so that technically he still "died"??? idk man

-I really think Alys won't end up truly loving Aemond but he will still end up completely whipped for her. He's basically Daemon Lite and she put up with him just fine without falling for him? idk tho but I still really really want to see Aemond simp for her I NEED to see him being pathetic about it ok?! its what we deserve!

Rip V*serys, but I'd have had Da*mon executed

[elliesgaymachete]

Wow that was such a DUMB ending i know they probably wanted to be ambiguous or whatever but they could have AT LEAST ended on Rhaena getting her dragon that’s all i’ve been waiting for all season

[claudeleine]

the cuts to tyland lannister getting his shit rocked in essos is so funny like he just never wins

[thebendsbyradiohead]

a face only a habsburg could love

[ragnarssons]

i could write a whole essay about the rhaenicent scene but........ but...... but rhaenyra's face when alicent accepts her "deal"...

JUST LOOK AT HER rhaenyra is heartbroken that she had to ask that of alicent. she's heartbroken that this is what they've come to do, and to be. that she'll have to kill her own brother if she wants peace, or what she thinks/hopes will be peace. there's so much complexity in this scene, such mixed feelings, such melancholy, for alicent and rhaenyra as women, for their bond as well, but for alicent and rhaenyra as pieces of the same family also. for that moment, that short-fleeting moment during the family's last supper with viserys, where they thought they could be at peace, and live together. where there was this "what if". what if rhaenyra had been allowed by circumstances to learn how to love her brothers, what if they were allowed to love her as well. what if they had done everything differently. rhaenyra could ask for aemond's head, "a son for a son" after all... but no, because this request isn't about revenge, it's not about hatred, it's about what she has to do, what's forced upon her by this war that they have themselves triggered. it's just so sad...

ramin djawadi my best friend i can always count on him no matter what

[top-vi]

“you speak as if from a distant dream”

almost like rhaenyra’s thought about this before. dreamed of alicent coming to her and shirking her duties, running away with her, choosing her over all else.

alicent’s just now discovering this dream, but rhaenyra’s seen it a thousand times by now

[meganwwrites]

anyways I'm gonna cheer so loudly when aemond dies.

justice for luc & rhaenys
