Alicent advising Rhaenyra, ngl I have a lot of gripes with how many extreme changes they've made to the source material but I still love their relationship so... #rhaenicent
i wonder why the woman who chose when to have children and who to have them with had a better experience with motherhood than the woman who was forced to have kids with a decrepit old man while she was still a teenager
The contrast between Rhaenyra hugging her grieving son vs Alicent ignoring her’s to go fuck with crispy cole shows you exactly what kind of mothers they are
@LoonieLunas not to mention that the show runner himself said that aemonds confusion is mostly due to aegon taking him to a brothel idk why nobody’s talking about that
alicent acting caring w aemond to manipulate him doesn’t mean she deserved to be assaulted by her own son, nor her attempt at manipulation makes her less a victim. so many people in here are too confortable with rape apologia
@aemondcat it genuinely baffles me how so many people on here can’t recognize that they’re both victims of the same giant cycle of abuse, and i say that as an alicent fan who hates aemond
@rubambilover that’s what rhaenyra believes because it’s been told to her for her entire life because she lives in a medieval setting idk why u guys expect characters like her to have modern mindsets
@pewpewpizdec i get that he is fucked up because of how he was raised by alicent and how he was treated by aegon, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he still assaulted her. she was kissed against her will that makes her a victim, and that doesn’t mean that aemond isn’t also a victim
