gotta say...it'd be a lot more satisfying if the writers would let olivia cooke bring the same energy to alicent that rebecca ferguson brought to jessica in dune: part 2.
#house of the dragon#hotd#alicent hightower#team green#pro team green#as much as i enjoy the idea of rhaenicent and girlhood gone wrong#i cannot understand the impulse to hamstring a character's natural development#from longing for the nostalgia of an adolescent relationship with a close friend#to righteous indignation and justified mistrust after years of intentional or unintentional indignity#especially after the mutilation and disabling of her own child by that of her former friend's child#and the ultimate rejection of her concerns as well as the safety of her children by the person who forcefully bred her in the first place#how is she meant to remain idle and complacent in the face of a potential future where the lives of her children are at risk#all because an inept king and his reckless heir wouldn't properly codify the line of succession to prevent the situation they're all facing#neither alicent nor rhaenyra should hold the other in such staggeringly close regard after harm is perpetuated onto their families#lady jessica would not give a solid fuck about rhaenyra's feelings if paul was endangered by her carelessness
