corlys is given the bastardphobic storyline that originally belonged to alicent and they turned him against rhaenyra just so they can make alicent her advisor and shove more rhaenicent interactions on our screen, like boo we’re TIRED.
Alicent is the eternal victim but when it comes to the black female characters that are set up with much older men, like Laena and Baela, suddenly it is okay. They pulled the same shit with Rhaenyra and Cole.
Funny how Alicent and Viserys’ relationship is framed as something Alicent had to suffer but Baela becoming a child bride is going to be framed as ”for the better”, suddenly the writers shift their ethics when it’s time to write the black girls
