watching rhaenyra sob while beheading otto and cry while taking the throne my first thought was “oh, this is genius” and my second thought was “oh the idiots on hotdtwt are NOT gonna like this”

“I wanted her to be sort of uncomfortably revealed, I think that’s probably what Alicent’s gaze does. She sees through any of the any artifice or armor that Rhaenyra might have built up”
