Why is alicent this composed? Isn't this supposed to be AFTER b&c? Like girl they literally had your grandson's head chopped off and you are still defending Rhaenyra?

FUCK DIGNITY. I WANT REVENGE.

"Alicent should have killed Aegon for what he did to Dyana. Is this how she defends SA victims?"

Has to be one of the shittiest takes I've ever had the displeasure of reading in the hotd fandom.

I genuinely cannot believe that a lot of people think this, like, are you guys insane??? Lmao casually saying this as if they aren't demanding a mother to execute her child.

I get it blacks, you are mad that Aegon raped Dyana, trust me, it upsets me too. It's horrible and unexcusable, I don't condone at all. It would be very concerning if I did.

With that said, what exactly were you expecting Alicent to do?

Tell all of Westeros that because the prince assaulted a servant ( I would like to remind you, a generous chunk of nobles has certainly done it as well to some degree.) he has to face justice and be executed.

Whaaat? Westeros is not in the 21st century, it doesn't work like that, by their standards it probably wasn't even considered rape! They would just think the prince had honored her with his attention and she had showed ungratefulness.

She would be punished instead for attempting to taint his image and have her tounge cut out or something. We're in the middle ages!!

Rape in Westeros is unfortunately super normalized, his execution would cause a shit show. Oh and sorry, how are you demanding a mother to have her firstborn killed?

Ali is veery disappointed with her son for many reasons, obviously including this one, and she's not shy to say it to his face, slap him and tell him he's no son of hers. But he is still her son, and she will always love him no matter what. There is no way in hell she would ever kill one of her kids.

Lmao if one of the strong boys did the same thing would you demand Rhaenyra to kill her sons as well?

Oh and also kinslaying. The circumstances of it are irrelevant, kinslaying is always considered one of the worst crime one can commit in Westeros. Hell even people who unwillingly kill their kin are cursed and ostracized, imagine what the realm would think of a mother, the fucking queen, killing her son.

Team black will really find any excuse to shit on Alicent, even if said reason is dumb as hell and devoid of any logic.

The hightower slay genes in action

Imagine the outrage that would've transpired **If** Renly treated Brienne like the way Rhaenyra treated Criston.

alicent hightower isn’t real, she can’t hear your hilariously funny jokes about her rape, which are rooted in victim blaming and rape apology rhetorics. but rape victims are real and we can read your pseudo-deep analyses on how 15-year-old girl apparently outpowered the fucking king and should be blamed for seducing his old ass. it’s getting tiring.

i think it's really funny that rhaenyra is like "why do they think that i sent assassins after it - i mean after dear helaena's son"

*cue montage*

"children squeal like boars" while glaring at baby aegon, later proceeds to violently stab a boar to death, gives aegon more death glares while covered in blood

never interacts with her siblings, seemingly does not give a shit about them

"sharply questioned"

has laenor "killed"

marries daemon, number one fear of everyone in westeros

*end montage*

i mean, rhae-rhae, you've shown yourself to be an insensitive, violent person, and you stand to gain from jaehaerys's death. of course they think it was you.

Daemon never respected nor loved anyone but himself period.

Trigger Warnings; grooming, manipulation, physical abuse, forced pregnancy, abuse, cheating, stillbirth, miscarriage.

What is actually astounding is fans thinking Daemon ever loved and respected Aemma.

Like, guys. While she was being forcibly impregnated for Viserys' dreams of a son, suffering through multiple pregnancies, miscarriages and stillbirths, he was advocating for himself to be made heir. When she died in childbirth and her son a while after her, he was out partying and joking about the "heir for a day". He then proceeded to groom, manipulate and almost ruin her only daughter's reputation, and after marrying Rhaenyra, he physically abused her (only show, season 1 episode 10) and very probably cheated on her (in the book Fire and Blood).

Daemon never respected nor loved Aemma. (Neither did he love Rhaenyra.)
