Alicent saying, “sadness is a condition of motherhood” has so many layers.
To some extent, this follows the pattern of her trying to attribute meaning to her pain through persuading herself that things are the way they are and cannot be changed. It echoes Alicent’s conversation with Rhaenys when she said, “We do not rule, but we may guide the men that do.” She is someone who has succumbed to the status quo. Why is this the case? Probably because Alicent has been moulded as a pawn by her father and used as a child bride while having 4 children raped into her. Her line of reasoning is a coping mechanism to deal with her suffering.
And now, she attempts to pass on that thinking to her own daughter. This shines light on the long tradition of how women justify their pain.
#it is also reminiscent of how Aemma Targaryen justified her own maternity pain#at the beginnng of the series when we watch aemma talk about her duty#she leaves no space for herself to consider that things don’t have to be this way#it’s tragic#I am team black but I’m also team women#oh women of hotd you will always be understood by me#alicent hightower#helaena targaryen#rhaenyra targaryen#hotd#hotd spoilers#house of the dragon#women of hotd#rhaenys targaryen#otto hightower#viserys targaryen

behind every art of modern rhaenyra where the artist draws her as masc or butch, theres always daemyras trying to prove that rhaenyra is this ultra feminine damsel because she wears pretty dresses and married a man whilst simultaneously ignoring all of rhaenyras established gender struggle at the same time, making their point so futile that they come across as repulsive people when it comes to the subject of lgbtq+ people specifically when it comes to women who don’t conform
rhaenyras story is based upon gender struggles already well set out in westeros i truly don’t understand unless you watched the show with your eyes closed and your fingers in your ears, every time this happens it instills in me that most people who say they like rhaenyra do not actually like rhaenyra because of their unwillingness to accept that rhaenyra is within herself wishes to be different
how do you watch her scene with mysaria in its entirety and including when she says daemon is everything she wishes to be INCLUDING a man and come to any other conclusion

rhaenyra outsourcing motherhood to rhaena and assigning her that passive feminine role was REALLY interesting….. rhaenyra as a character is at her most fascinating when she is forced to navigate and ultimately perpetuate the gendered structures she despises and wishes she could transcend— the seeds of her tragedy already sewn here. just great character work
#esp because in the books rhaena is painted as the sweet peaceful girly girl to baela’s gnc rebellion#but woah it’s cool that theyre both actually straining at it. wah#it’s also very targ women can only escape the bounds of the patriarchy when they have their dragons and even then they actually cant.#like thats an illusion of freedom for the most part ☹️#hotd#hotd spoilers#obviously rhaenyra doesnt really have much of a choice here but thats the point it’s a system#and to have any power at all you will have to crack under the desires of that system and the whims of your stupid misogynist vassals#thats the rosby stokeworth thing!!!! ITS HAPPENING!!!!!!#what would you sell to break your chain. who would you throw under your wheels#god rhaenyra is just a triumph of adaptation huh. theyre gonna hit that swing into selling her soul so hard

I will never not be sad by the de-fangification of our female characters on hotd. we could've had all of them serving cunt and warfare/bloodthirstiness but instead they are all 'peaceful' and everything is the men's fault 🙄🥲.
a cersei-esque alicent dead set on having her kids on the throne at all costs because she believes it's their gods given right, ready to slay everyone who gets in her way
rhaenyra asking her feral husband to eliminate anyone and anything that offends her, like vaemond, a son for a son, etc. stopping at nothing to get HER throne because SHE wants it, not stopping at anything to achieve her goals
rhaenys ready to ride into war for her queen to slay all her enemies instead of feeling bitter as she came across in the show a lot of the time
baela truly being the embodiment of her father in female form, being feral and ready to eliminate everything at once, etc.
oh, the show we could've had if they just weren't scared of the audiences reactions to powerful decisive women that aren't apologetic about their claims to power and what they believe is their's.
#-#hotd#house of the dragon#game of thrones#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targaryen#rhaenys targaryen#baela targaryen#powerful women and the power they could've held in the story#but instead everything is an accident#or a misunderstanding#or a result of an incompetent man not listening to his 'peaceful' woman#what if alicent actually secretly hated rhaenyra the whole time#what if rhaenyra actually wanted power because its been hers since she was 14 and she wasn't pussying out of war#what if rhaenys actually supported the new queen in a way she wasn't at the council#what if baela was shown to be a crazy feral woman#all the what ifs we could've had
