“why not criticize the other billionaires who are richer than taylor” what makes taylor billionaire swift especially sinister is she has a cult following who will defend her RIGHT to exploit people. her cultural dominance normalizes the existence of billionaires in general
Rhaenyra wanting Alicent’s advice on “ruling” is funny to me. Alicent humiliated her in court, spent years seeking power with Otto when Rhaenyra was away, and she ruled a peaceful kingdom, not one already in the middle of a war like Rhaenyra 😭❓
Taylor Swift didn’t invite Adele, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Demi Lovato, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Olivia, Billie, Zara, Mark Ruffalo or Zendaya to her wedding but she DID invite a CEO ICE contractor, multiple Zionists, multiple SA abusers & MAGA guests to party w her & drink champagne.
‘“He has a song,” [Rhaegar] replied. “He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire.”

‘He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany’s, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door.’
- A Clash of Kings (George R. R. Martin)
she literally told aegon in s1ep6 he would be the future king
she literally sat on the green council & partook in rhaenyra’s usurpation
she literally PLACED THE CROWN on aegon’s head
she’s only switching up bc when she petitioned herself to be regent nobody backed her
The thing that annoys me the most about this is that Rhaenyra loved purple and different textured fabrics and jewelry and clearly they can make those kinds of costumes — but only for the extras and not the princess????
being a young person sucks so bad bc u have to watch as a bunch of boomers continue to ruin society bc theyre so unbelievably selfish that they dont even consider the future of the world
“well if we start removing politicians accused of sexual assault, we’d have to remove most of them...”
YES. THAT’S HOW ACCOUNTABILITY WORKS.
NOT HAVING RAPISTS IN OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE THE BARE. F*CKING. MINIMUM. 🤡
Someone just pointed out that Rhaenyra was literally a cup bearer since she was a kid, sat on the small council for years as an adult, and ruled Dragonstone. 😭 So, surely she is aware of statecraft and what exactly she's missing to stabilize the city.
The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
Alicent is Rhaenyra's main abuser in the show, her father as absent for many years and in that time she was able to torment Rhaenyra so much it made her go to Dragon Stone
That is why i hate the timeskip and Rhaenicent and this show for trying to make Alicent a saint now
