#i do not know how to do one of these topics 🤡 i should've looked at many examples over the course of a while but

I said thought the same thing regarding the Ser Harold scene. I totally understand why it was cut because Harold tell Harwin the same thing when he dishonored the Princess the 3 obvious times we know about?

This scene would’ve hit viewers over the head with a mallet showing the level of privilege and protection Rhaenyra has compared Alicent, which is not exactly Rhaenyra’s fault but should be recognized nonetheless. At this point Rhaenyra has had 3 of Harwin Strong’s bastards and everyone knows this. Has seen this man coming and going from the Princess’s private living quarters- he’s Captain of the city guard and not Rhaenyra’s sworn sword or member of the household guard, why is he there? There’s no reason for it, so their affair is this open secret yet no one (except Alicent in privacy) says a thing out of fear of repercussions

Yet Alicole share glances and inside jokes and Harold is there warning Criston with cautionary tales of gelding. Alicent can’t even have this friend and friendship with the person who guards her and her family every day. (While Westerling himself seems to have a close relationship with Viserys and Rhaenyra. He definitely has a bias that he shouldn’t have if he’s admonishing Criston, so much hypocrisy)

I’ve seen so many people say that Alicent should have had an affair of her own and that she’s just mad at Rhaenyra because she was bold enough to do it but 2 different sets of rules exist for Rhaenyra and Alicent. Imagine a scenario if Daeron had been born with olive skin and brown/black hair, shit would have hit the fan. “Viserys the Peaceful” would’ve sent Alicent to the same place Saera was or WORSE (remember how thirsty Viserys seemed at Driftmark or Aemond and Aegon to tell on their mother), Criston would’ve been gelded and sent to the wall or worse and little Daeron Flowers/Storm/Sands- an innocent in this whole thing would definitely not have enjoyed the privilege of a royal upbringing and protection from whispers. He would have been tossed out of the castle before he even turned a Moon old. Alicent would’ve been called every “whore” and “cunt” by Rhaenyra and Daemon because she dared cheat on their crusty butt Valyrian blooded Father/Brother.

Well said, anon. All this!

There's no point having morality or honour arguments because most of the hotd characters are entwined in scandal or know of them and are powerless against it.

For me, that is why Erryk looked stupid in ep 9. He walked out on Arryk and Aegon because Rhaenyra is a better person????

Seriously, the writers are so silly acting like there are nice guys and bad guys in this Game of Thrones.

Juvenile! Cartoon minded.

When Blood and Cheese happens will Erryk wear a Pikachu face and be like, "I thought you guys were the nice ones?" 🤡

They should've just left things as they were in the book! Arryk and Erryk were posted to the different monarchs from the beginning. And were forced to be on opposing sides despite of loving each other as brothers.

Not this nonsense of My Guy is More Principled than Your Guy.

Sorry for going off topic but point still stands that the concept of morality in hotd and GoT is so silly. These characters are knee deep in shady deals and activities. That shit can't be washed away.

betrayal was the real ladrien we made along the way ("Strikeback")

I am so, so happy I waited until the English dub to watch it.

- I wonder how much Lila gleaned from "Adrien" suddenly no longer hating her guts, since she certainly knows that Adrien has an evil twin cousin

- Felix, the boy with the strength to break metal in his fist

- How is Froggy still alive

- Peak ladynoir squabbling, and we're back at The Identities and the earth logic is finally brought up

- "Cat Blanc" flashback, but not as an explanation of why she hasn't been telling him stuff, but to remind the audience that he's wrong to believe that that they (in context of previous conversation topic, she) can't be akumatised

- We're at "Desperada" levels of "whatever the problem is, the solution is Adrien Agreste"

- watch Felix get interactions with Barkk and a proper transformation sequence. Oh, Sabrina

- her giddiness at introducing her BFF to the love of her life is adorable

- you gotta wonder if Adrien at some point will rub the brain cells together and realise that when Ladybug was fawning over Dog Boy, she thought she was fawning over Adrien Agreste, and that this is the SECOND time she's given him a miraculous, and gee, maybe this means something

- Felix does seem to genuinely regret betraying Ladybug

- Alya renouncing Trixx is the kind of development their friendship should've had BEFORE the GoS reveal. Better late than never, I guess. Even if it's only so that our resident pickpocket can steal it.

- Felix being after the peacock only = what else BUT a sentimonster backstory could that be?

- Funny guy, where was this interest in all the other miraculous in the S3 finale when you just handed them over to Chloé and didn't give two craps about Ladybug taking them off of her again? What are you even going to do with them? Wear them all yourself and go mad?

- oh Gabriel, WHY are you trusting the backstabber of backstabbers? Do you really not think this will come back and bite you, since Ladybug knows who gave them to you and would be an absolute idiot to not go shake him down for some answers?

- But his trusting Felix with it would mean he's also trusting Felix with sentiadrien's life, so he at least has faith in Felix' ability to love

- I might joke about the involuntary felinette disguised as ladrien, but this scene between Adrien dealing with Ladybug breaking down on him as a civillian is the kind of secret identity drama that until this point has been strictly relegated to fanfic and I. love. IT. finally happening on screen

- They had me there, I won't lie: I was 80% certain Cat Noir was gonna tell her his name in that last scene. Anyway blah blah umbrella scene flashback and the ladynoir predictions I made after "Truth" turning out to be true? kind of? eventually?

- No Longer Temp Heroes Looking Very Determined as Gabe flaunts their miraculous... dare I hope that they will finally? get some character development?? and have to EARN their miraculous??? Will Sabrina finally get a character arc 🤡

- Twelve lost miraculous = two episodes for each of them next season, so The Hero Team won't stay dead for long even though I dearly wish it would, PARTICULARLY if we're just gonna get another line of Very Special Episodes only for each one of them being instantly benched by the narrative

- Yeeeeeah if anything has me doubting sentiadrien at this point, it's that S5 will involve the miraculous fetchquest, all of that Agreste backstory, the fall of Gabriel and the rise of The Future Hawmoth, AND whatever the hell will be the resolution to Felix running around with Duusu in a different country and Adrien knowing that Felix for whatever reason really DID just strike a bargain with their resident magical terrorist. But mostly I'm doubting the temp heroes ever being something more than background noise, because next season will have its hands full

- Don't think I didn't notice Chloé together with Zoé

- oh hey there Su-Han

- so what was that "great reveal" that was supposed to happen

- so what WAS that huge Gloob spoiler anyway
