To Be Loved Means To Be Consumed.

On some level Alicent has to be wondering if this is an insane wet dream like she really opened her eyes mid-prayer to Rhaenyra kneeling next to her dressed like a nun and offering either a genuine conversation or a murder-suicide, it’s all she’s ever wanted

The war will be fought, many will die, and the victor will eventually ascend the throne.

The Coronation of AEGON II TARGARYEN HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — 1.09 (The Green Council)

it’s kind of funny how the same people who never shut up about Criston having a madonna-whore complex unironically subscribe to the same belief when it comes to Alicent vs Rhaenyra

Alicent having sex with one person as a widow has people blasting her as a whore, both in the story and in fanon people treat her having sex like it’s a character flaw and she’s portrayed as responsible for blood and cheese because she dared to have a romantic relationship.

on the flip side Rhaenyra having an affair with Harwin is treated as something noble and respectable, her having sex with Daemon the night of his wife’s funeral is seen as loving and no one puts the blame on her shoulders for the eye incident because she dared to have sex.

everything Rhaenyra does is treated as inherently virtuous whereas Alicent was getting called a whore when her only crime was being forced to marry Viserys and now that she has a relationship with Criston the misogynistic comments are only worse.
