They were so young, so full of hope and ambition and dreams. Little did they know, the fates rarely look down on little girls they let grow with mercy.
Sons and lovers and claims of righteousness, what is it that was not put up against the memory of youth and friendship?
And yet
Dany stans flocked to Rhaenyra for superficial reasons: theyre both Targaryen queens with dragons. In reality, Rhaenyra is more like Cersei than she is Dany
🚨| SPOILER WARNING
Rhaenyra will (allegedly) execute Otto in episode 2 with Visenya’s sword Dark Sister, but is only able to deliver the fatal blow on her second try.
When Alicent enters the throne room, she sees her father’s body and Rhaenyra sitting on the Iron Throne.
a woman who spent all her life belittled and withheld from her birthright and watched the women around her either die or ruin themselves under the whims of men has internalized misogyny and complicated views on femininity and gender?? WOWWW couldn't have expect that whatsoever
hotd has always had pacing issues (and ik everyone loves season 1 but it was bad even then) so im not at all surprised that they've reverted back to those break neck speeds since the general audiences find that pacing enjoyable (despite it being somewhat unfulfilling)
Such a "characters are one dimensional and are not allowed to evolve" & "Houses hv personalities and house targaryen is not subject to systemic misogyny" Thing to say. nd dis is literally almost word for word an Elizabeth I quote.
Also they both have very similar plot directions
It is a Cersei quote not even arguable.
And because Rhaenyra is written to think and behave a certain way. Changing it is changing her thoughts. She's the blood of a dragon and wouldn't be self depricating. It's how the family is established.
it's pissing me off that he's in the middle it's pissing me off that he's in this photo at all like if it should be any man on the show it should be ken leung
"She's not real, this is a cersei quote" Okay girl.
"would have never thought or said it" Is also a crazy thing to say after saying the character is not real im Criine
Rhaenyra hasn't internalized anything she's not real. This is a Cersei quote they took and put onto a character who would have never thought or said it because the writers are misogynistic and think all women are interchangable with one another.
@SofiaSmileey I need you to understand that in the books, baelas dragon wasn't war worthy and could barely be ridden by the time aegon took dragonstone lmao
