jesus christ rereadinf tmi now that i’m much older makes the incest plot line genuinely vomit inducing with how vile and manipulative it is 😭😭😭😭 the psychological manipulation and torture of their minds as a form of control and disorientation Jesus christttt
“Helaena’s death is likely to be impassable in Rhaenyra’s relationship with Alicent.” that damn relationship should have ended after Rhaenyra’s sons dropped dead like flies, thanks to the war Alicent helped start 😭
imagine if og game of thrones got marketed as team stark vs team lannister and you had people in fandom genuinely believing cersei and tywin are good people or people justifying joffery beating sansa because robert beat him or some shit that wouldve been crazy
Ulf can burn a town Aemond can burn a town because they got beat in public or had their feelings hurt but you know if Rhaenyra did it after losing 3 kids and everything else in her life she'd be treated the same way as Dany
“She’s maybe the only character who has a proximity to power, but remains kind of uncontaminated."
Do you guys now see what HotD is trying to say about women and power here? Because it's actually pretty vile. Anyways, fuck Helaena, she died the way she lived.
