I Wonder What The Fact That Aeron Bracken Was More Angry About Jaehaerys' Death Than Alicent Tells Us

"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.

Strongest team black argument be like

A thing that always makes me laugh about team green is the fact that they always referred to rhaenyra as a whore (aemond at storm's end called her 'the whore of dragons stone' , aegon after she refudes his term say that 'the whore threw his term in his face') because rhaenyra have a relationship and children with a man she love without achieving anything. The definition of a whore is a woman (or a man) who prostitutes herself (or himself) and prostitution is 'sexual performance for profit' (which can be money, favor, political power) which is exactly what alicent is doing with larys in episode 9. She is 'offering' a sexual performance so larys will give her the information she need. So 'whore' is a word that describes alicent's act not rhaenyra. This is really funny like aemond and aegon watch your mother before speak

Here's a toast to the HBO Targaryen wives who were made Targaryens by men who didn't love them

Aemma Targaryen deserved better

Alicent Targaryen Deserved better

Rhea Targaryen deserved better

Laena Targaryen deserved better

And Elia Targaryen most of all, deserved so much more better

Because if you're going to take your a-hole husband's last name and are expected to relinquish all that made you you while he makes it clear he's only there to get whatever use he can out of you. Then you sure as heck deserve better

(requested by @lawolfe)

so i think show!alicent would never sleep with criston cole (and vice versa) and i truly believe that only makes them desire each other more. and there's something deeply exciting to me about how twisted that is.

like yeah i enjoy the idea of the bubble finally bursting and them having having dramatic passionate sex, but i dont really see that as being in character for them (although I WILL read those fics)

I can only see a continuation of years of torturous tension...of them making meaningful eye contact and then looking away, flustered, or lightly brushing hands and savouring the few moments of physical contact they can have without being improper

i think both of them have wild fantasies that neither of them will ever act upon because it will ruin the ideals of purity and devotion that they want for themselves and each other

i think if either of them acted upon their sexual desires, the other would not only be disappointed, but lose interest entirely

however, i think if they became aware of each others sexual desires and even acknowledged them...but made it clear that they would never touch each other...that would just drive both of them crazy with lust because they would be proving to each other that no matter how much they want each other, they have the fortitude to resist...even though it's so so difficult

and i think thats really messed up and really really hot

i love them

gotta come up with some ways for them to express intimacy without touching, or at least not touching in a way that's overtly romantic or sexual - its gonna involve a lot of religious stuff for sure

posting this here!! <33 anyways stan @hayleynwong, zutara and taylor swift for clean skin. and happy zutara month :))
