I hate the brain state of wanting to be kissed but also REALLY not wanting to be kissed by some rando

"old man yaoi" has become one of my new favourite phrases which is unfortunate because it is inappropriate in roughly 99% of real world scenarios

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
