OMG OMG OMG WHATTT??!!
Mckenna Grace & Mason Thames covers 'honeybee' by Olivia Rodrigo (my fave yspsfagsil track)!!!!!
and her caption being:
"everyone say happy birthday to a face I could spend my whole life knowin"🥹🥹
I really hate that they're making Rhaenyra too merciful when it comes to the Greens besides Aemond & Aegon. Alicent should be in chains in the dungeon, Ormund's head should've be on a spike w his army burned on the spot. Even the reason why Otto was executed was changed
"If Rhaenyra was a man they wouldn't have made her cry when killing Otto."
And if Rhaenyra had been socialised as a male heir to the throne, she would have had a sword put in her hand from toddler age & been repeatedly conditioned to be inured to the concept of violence & death.
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. Rhaenyra, meanwhile, had dreamed of a triumphant return to King’s Landing, yet by then she was exhausted, grieving, and burdened by impossible choices. The lack of a dramatic payoff is the payoff,it shows that the Dance robs everyone of the glorious ending they imagined.
If we’re being serious, though, House of the Dragon often avoids giving major characters “hero moments.” The Dance is written as a tragedy, so many important deaths are abrupt, uncomfortable, or emotionally unsatisfying on purpose. Instead of celebrating victory, the story emphasizes how hollow it has become.
