Why are people comparing Alicent to Visenya? I just saw a post claiming it’s hypocritical for Rhaenyra to draw inspiration from Visenya.

Let me guess. They equate (better word than "compared", bc compare also means contrasting if you're ever doing an analysis and we are doing on...or have already) Alicent with Visenya because these two women just happen to have usurped the naked heir for their own children, specifically boys. And some will cite Visenya being the one to call for Rhaena marrying her son Maegor (as Alicent does with Aegon the Elder and Rhaenyra) as further proof bc they assume that Visenya was just as sexistly/selfishly driven as Alicent in doing so.

They lack the desire to detect nuance in general AND the nuanced CRITICAL difference between the two women and their circumstances.

-----------------------------------------------------------

First of all, those fans have to learn or just stop trying to melt their modern goals with the characters' motivations. How to distinguish between the audience/readers and the characters, bc they have conflated what the characters vs the readers desire from the circumstances that the characters are experiencing. What they are really wanting or trying to say some of the time is that they don't understand why Rhaenyra stans/fans/Alicent haters, etc. criticize ( sometimes not even hate, just criticize) Alicent. Practice not projecting your own feelings and/or goals into the characters, please!

Those who say it's hypocritical for Rhaenyra to hate Alicent while loving Visenya specifically (and usually) bc they percieve both wmen as usurpers alone also try to make as if the standard for why one should support a woman is how "feminist" and pro-woman she should be, being a sort of moral hero within her world and how morally/socially advanced she actively is or not. Because they cannot fathom how their own very-much-not-that fav gets flack in lieu of them knowing that Alicent is at the very end of that spectrum as a traditionalist woman.

Why hate Alicent so much if other women, esp Rhaenyra, aren't feminists or pro woman? Why bother me about my choice/preference if Alicent is not actually that bad? It's an attempt to flatten the spectrum of women we have in ASoIaF, to try to make Alicent seem not particularly extreme as she had been by projecting her extremism onto other groups and thus shrug off the discomfort of preferring her over other female characters (they really could just say they like her because of her poltical inteliigence if they refer to the book version. If it's show version, I personally don't think they have nothing at all to admire, but that's me).

They "forget" that feminism is a social movement, NOT just individual's state of mind! For both women (Rhaenyra and Alicent) or how they are moving in their world, it has never been about feminism BECAUSE FEMINISM DOESN'T EXIST AS A MOVEMENT AS A IDEOLOGICAL FRAME FOR THEM TO BASE OR MAKE THEIR DECISIONS ON---THAT WOMEN CONCIOUSLY AND INTELLECTUALLY TRY TO USE TO GAIN RIGHTS FOR ALL WOMEN---IN WESTEROS FOR PEOPLE TO BE JUDGING WOMEN ON HOW NONFEMINIST THEY ARE!!

This the real reason why Alicent is not loved by fandom who dislike-to-despise her: her Catholic-adjacent forwardness repressive & unsubtle hypocrisy. Yes in book/orig story, thought it's worse in the show because we actually witness scenes of it and show!Alicent lacks any political acumen.

On the fandom side, already she wasn't going to be that much liked as maybe Catelyn, but then she tries to use tradition to argue for her sons' rights when Rhaenyra had much more of a claim, thus enabling armed, mobilized patriarchal violence that cause BOTH women to lose their kids, lose themselves for a very critical beat (or if you are Alicent, until the day you die). Even as both did go into a war that killed thousands of both nobles but much more small folk, WHO decided in a time of relative peace to disrupt what could have been the beginning of something good for women (even if for noble women or a first) so she could reap the patriarchally-traditonal benefits for herself?

----

Secondly, other than what I have already described for Alicent v Visenya in that linked post (above the dotted line), it is also WHO these women are to Rhaenyra: for all her obvious desire to make something more for her self and her son Visenya genuinely was also trying to keep not just her but her siblings' "work" "alive".

Visenya is her indirect ancestor/part of her family, a very important who engendered to keep the dynasty alive even though she also had her own ambitions AT THE SAME TIME, which means Rhaenyra got to live to even become heir; Alicent is Rhaenyra's direct opposer, her enemy, the one actively trying to usurp her, who already tried to degrade her standing in court since she was a child. And not just a child in her teens , I mean a small kid child, if we talk about the book/orig story. Alicent is part of the family who wishes to use the Rhaenyra family's standing to be just as influential. Yet because the Hightowers are the ones literally bankrolling the Citadel and patrons of the Faith at Oldtown--center of Westeros' religion and politically moral compass for hundreds of years.

The Faith just so happens to be the ones who tried to oust the Targs even before Maegor...were always the enemies of the Targs and their inherent magicness, dragons, "foreignness"...why in the fuck would you expect Rhaenyra to be OBLIGATED to like a woman actively using said Faith and social backing's history AGAINST HER CLAIM?! Was Visenya a Faith follower who used said things against Aenys or Aegon the Uncrowned or any Targ? NO, bc she was a Targ herself AND helped her son battle in any way against the Faith. The Faith hated Visenya! Still do. And if the Faith had it their way, Alicent or not, they also would not approve of Rhaenyra being heir/queen (religious patriarchy), what more a woman so physically close to her and living in her childhood home that she hopes to rule from one day but using said institution against her?!

The daughter of the man who while enabled Rhaenyra to become heir ironically, also wasn't doing it for her but to remove the competition he saw in Daemon/prevent him from being heir. Come on, now!

----

Thirdly, Rhaenyra loving Visenya has everything to do with her looking to her for inspiration [a very important post to read bc I don't want to repeat myself] AND presenting strength in a similar way you'd think a non-warrior person would use a sword/armor to draw that conventional social cue.

Except that bc Visenya is nearly universally either feared, disdained, or hated, Rhaenyra draws on her to make another distinction about herself: like me or hate me, I will push on. Personal, in that she assures herself of her connection to that strength (thus that she is capable of the sort of power Visenya had aside from knowing how to use a sword, bc you can be trained all you are but you still need that je-nais-se-quois to back it up even without it), and to the public/court as what I already wrote above.

On the more personal side, I headcanon that she may have thought her not that dissimilar to Daemon, her prince consort, and enjoyed this little performance to herself because she both felt like she draw on his strength as well as became that much more intimate with him. Tell me, where can Alicent give any of this even passively to Rhaenyra?! Not only did Alicent already reject Rhaenyra, she had little to nothing to really inspire her! Come on, now!

Now do some people see why the show's Rhaenicent just doesn't hit and is even just a bad rewrite of the original story?!

Info about tommy,bagels and the unnamed crow?

What do you like to do? Do they all interact?

timmy is but a wee british boy who was born quite literally during the 7 hour war, so hes about as young as you could be in the hl universe, and bagels is his pet cat who is slightly too inteliigent. so they very much interact lol they have a story that focuses on timmy when hes 6 years old doing kid things while growing up under the combine and it looks at the contrast between what a kid can comprehend and what a kid can observe and begin to understand and how it interacts with their world amd inexperience

the unnamed crow is a sentient crow that has a crow friend who belongs to my bud critter, they live in the rocket silos at white forest and liiiiiive to btoher magnusson its one of their favorite pass times, they also bother barney cuz its funny amd obvious hes uneasy around them, honestly they just love to cause a bit of havoc for their own amusment, how ever i do not believe that the crow interacts with eother timmy or bagels, as bagels dies in like 2012 i believe and timmy simoly lives in other cities outside 17 as far as im aware

My own opinions on Harry Potter

All the marauders era characters except Snape, Barty and Lily are overrated - Especially regulus.

Hermione's inteliigence is overrated, and so is Draco's, which is why Dramione is shipped - Hermione literally got distracted during a duel with a known terrorist. Draco could have fucking repaired the vanishing cabinet easily and could have told Rosmerta to invite Dumbledore for dinner and poison his drink, and BAM!

Dudley is given too much hate- On being a bully, nevermind he was traumatized by wizards and had valid reasons to hate Harry. Even after that, he redeemed himself.

All the villains except Barty are horrible villains, even Grindelwald. Unlike the Naruto villains, all the Death Eaters just kill Muggleborns because they descend from Muggles, and for domination.

James and Sirius aren't that powerful - Remus said James and Sirius were the best in the school, but he is biased. All their feats were assisted, James and Lily together defied Voldemort.

Snape can only be beaten by the big three.

Luna > Hermione.

Luna is slightly more powerful than Hermione, due to her open-mindedness she will have more knowledge.

Ginny isn't that powerful, she only ever used one hex on non-entities and won once against Draco.

Draco is more powerful than Ron, I hate him but he fought on par with Harry who is more powerful than Ron.

Jily only existed because Snape made mistakes.

The Order is just as bad as the Death Eaters, they oppressed a person (Snape) and then hated him for joining the dark side.

Dumbledore is trash, he could have ended both wars easily but decided not to because it wouldn't satisfy him.

McGonagall isn't as nice as people say, she was rather mean to Neville.

Hagrid isn't that nice either, he traumatized a child for their father's words.

Voldemort is dumb, he had too many chances to defeat Harry but missed them.

Harry should have exposed James' sins to the Wizarding world.

Ron is more powerful than Hermione, he fought three DE in OOTP and won.

Prime Snape would destroy anyone except Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald.

Harry = Draco = Neville > Ron > Hermione in terms of power scaling.

Snape > James = Sirius > Remus > Peter

Sa beauté vient de son inteliigence et de ses connaissances. Par contre, Mademoiselle Qian Jiu est élégante et magnifique. Toutes sortes de beautés. Et puis Song Jia Yin. Même si l'on ne s'entend pas, et que je pense qu'elle a un problème, elle est arrogante, mais énergique et jolie. C'est sa façon d'être belle. Une beauté unique. Elles sont toutes différentes. Yan Yun Zhi: Tu n'as pas toujour besoin de remarquer la beauté des autres. Tu peux te regarder dans le miroir. Animée, spontanée et libre. Tu es aussi unique.
