Her relationship with Viserys is a core part of her character. While her relationship with Cole was consensual, it surely was humiliating for her and written purposefully to be that way
This reminds of this artist who was getting hate supposedly because he was using AI, but it turned out that it was his art that was fed to the AI. But sure, continue the witch hunt
artists can identify ai generated images. hell, even programmers can most of the times tell if something was vibe-coded. so, why is that writers refuse to admit that looking out for ai is "witch-hunting"???
Argon and Rhaenyra had their 1st kill in the same day btw and they were treated #differently
Just saying
There's ten thousand reasons Rhaenyra killing Otto in that manner doesn't work
First being her OWN line in the previous episode about having the heart of a king or whatever
it’s always rhaenyra who has to feel bad if she commits an act that hurts alicent, yet Alicent NEVER shows any remorse for everything she did to her im so tired
They’re meant to serve the crown of a whole ass empire and you’re telling me a slap after a major fuckup is enough justification for them to turn? Daemon was exiled 300 times by viserys but he never betrayed him or his chosen heir
@ThisGrayArea This is not vengeance. Otto conspired to take her throne, that's treason. And her bargain with Rhaenyra doesn't protect anyone besides her, Jaehaera and Helaena.
She has no right to be angry. Everyone here knew that it's what her deal with Rhaenyra entails. She was the only person unaware that this was among the consequences.
Rhaenyra has the right to kill the people who conspired to take her throne, especially since there's no Aegon.
THREAD: YES, alicent is angry at rhaenyra for killing Otto. That's not what they agreed to.. & It's not something Alicent forsaw...they agreed to no blood shed and Aegon.. It's another time Alicent has clung to Rhaenyra's skirts and it didn't work... a direct parallel to this
"House of the Dragon is making a clear, concerted effort to depict the lives of women in a patriarchal society, and it is doing so very cartoonishly and sometimes idiotically," is a thought a rational person can have.
🚨| Emma D’arcy teases that Rhaenyra no longer wants to be seen as equal to men, she now sees herself as divine superior:
“If you’re a woman looking to rule and you are perpetually othered by your colleagues and populace, how do you convince them that you’re in fact the same?-
