Look- I’m a simple girl with simple needs…
Is Rhaenyra marrying Alicent in a Valyrian wedding ceremony really so much to ask?

the way the "come with me" just kinda bursts out and then alicent doesn't know what else to say. because she didn't mean to say it, she just had to. "you speak of it as if from a distant dream" but the real dream, the one she probably never let herself even consider before that moment was the one where she was at rhaenyra's side.
and the way rhaenyra smiles just so, happy that alicent might finally get that freedom, and that alicent is choosing her, finally choosing her! but knowing that their destinies are already written and that she must see this through to the end.

Rhaenyra being talked down to by her council because she is a woman so she’s forced to remain ‘safely’ in her castle thus stripping her of power and authority
Alicents council blatantly disregarding her experience because she is a woman trapping her within the influence of the violent men in her life thus stripping her of power and authority
The parallel narratives and paralleling-

What is the state of Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship in season 2?
"When we meet Rhaenyra she's in a state of very pronounced grief at the start of the second series. And i wonder if somewhere very, very deep down in the subterranean layers of the psyche, if actually, perversely, there is a sort of yearning to seek comfort here.
Like after the death of Rhaenyra's mother, I think it was only Alicent that Rhaenyra was able to share that with and find comfort with. Yeah, so I wonder if there's like a really old bit of programming, that still yearns for this. Yeah, not in the conscious brain though. The conscious brain is doing something else." - Emma D'arcy
"I think for Alicent, there's, you know, there's this chord that connects them both and there's ripple effects that sort of travel to Alicent whenever Rhaenyra does something. And Rhaenyra has become this sort of like ghost that walks the corridors of her mind at this point. And all she wants is to have an audience with Rhaenyra, to show face and sort of like plead her case and apologise. But then also try and, you know, tell Rhaenyra that what I heard was Viserys wanted Aegon to be on the throne, even though obviously for a viewer that's a massive misinterpretation. But yeah, there's a lot of yearning. There's a lot of yearning there for Alicent." - Olivia Cooke

I can't stop thinking about the look on Alicent's face when Rhaenyra denies to run away with her.

rhaenyra’s girlkissing is like when dan and phil both came out separately. like rhaenicent is half confirmed and the girlkissing recontextualizes the whole relationship as shown in the show. im losing my mind u guys

aegon/jaehaera/daenaera ot3 au just moved to the tippy top of my list due to the fanartist whose art inspired it being driven off of twitter by deranged team black stans who are mad they like jaehaera, there's no explanation for why Those People constantly mock actor's appearances and deride other's fanart other than that they are not only too talentless to draw themselves but also depressingly ugly and taking it out on other people

because they are like a gorgeous weed in my mind, still growing with plenty of thoughts even through concrete:
do you think part of the reason Alicent and Rhaenyra were so far apart in that finale scene was because if either were in touching distance they would haven’t been able to stop?
and who knows what then?

alicent hightower seen visiting rhaenyra in the middle of the night to tell her her attitude towars sex and men has always been about defying her, that she now knows what she wants, that she forfeits her life to rhaenyra and to ask her to run away together and be free. which could mean nothing
