“[Daemon] is kind of a Lady Macbeth to [Rhaenyra]. That’s how I’ve seen him this season. He’s the one who tries to influence the queen, whispers in her ear and guides her decisions as one of her closest advisors.”
—Matt Smith
what’s upsetting me about hotd is they’ve taken a lot of liberties to make rhaenyra’s “sin” be having three bastards and will use that to explain her death later on. the reality is her “sin” was being a woman, her death was a femicide, and her entire life was marked by misogyny.
septon eustace went on several misogynistic coke rants in his testimonies and never knew the touch of a woman but people will take him and his opinions for the word of god
