Let’s not forget the female character who said "In this world of men, we women must band together” in rhaenyra’s support is reduced to a self centered & unkind woman who’s only added in the show to humiliate rhaena.
Thank you HOTD for accurately representing the ancient sapphic courtship ritual of hovering awkwardly & hoping the other person makes the first move
i'm sorry but rhaenyra was doing a damn good job this episode given the mess she has in her hands and how much she's lost. she's showing up for the people, making herself be feared just enough, punishing nobles who sided with the greens, reaffirming her legitimacy.THAT'S MY QUEEN
Corlys is genuinely getting on my nerves. Not because what he said was wrong. He’s not. BUT it gets on my nerves because we all know this is about HIS legacy. Not his sons. Because if he truly cared for them, he would’ve done this long ago.
The way this conversation is ONLY had when it comes to rhaenyra or daenerys this discussion of "bad ruler or good ruler" is never had when a male is the heir
Why do you all act as if the targaryens being “conquerors” is better when they still took lands, forced people to submit and burned/killed anyone who resisted? They did not even fully adapt to westerosi costumes and argued about their “superiority” to keep valyrian ones.
