The execution was intentionally awkward because neither Rhaenyra nor Otto got the ending they thought they deserved. Otto spent decades playing the greatest political game in Westeros, only to die not in a grand battle of wits, but as another casualty of the war he helped create.

I don't "get a bit worried". I was worried 15 years ago when this was predicted and yet nobody changed anything to stop it. By now I am numb and honestly feel that on some level we deserve to cook. The animals and plants don't, though.
I personally can't stop thinking about how Monica will live forever in Lizzie's Stormy Weather novel, because she gave her the quotes, the courage to write it and live it #Rivals
