“but amongst the pastiche of war and desire, beauty and damage, i saw claudia, in an impossible afternoon light she could never survive in. claudia, as madeleine perceived her, resplendent, rendered even more beautiful by her beholder.”

alicent's ability to talk shit about everyone makes me so happy man. "he thinks himself a scholar" "gwayne thought him cruel but gwayne thought that of many" 💀
even when alicent is defending her sons in season 1 its framed as her being upset that viserys only cares about rhaenyra and that all of her sacrifices were for nothing, so when people act like she was this huge boy mom i start laughing lmao
guys im sorry to announce this but taissa turner has a very clear type of woman and shauna is not it, i’ll give you guys a second to draw the parallels between van and simone go on
moves me deeply to know season 4 really will have no choice but to let alicent devour the fuck out of her screen time because the men around her will start dropping like flies
