Rhaenyra is the most interesting character on television right now she’s a cheater, a bisexual, a fake socialist, a dead beat sister, going through religious psychosis, facing bottom allegations, kind of deported her girlfriend, I love her
this is so crazy because they’re surrounded by people who know them both only by name. but not enough to read into rhaenyra’s facial expressions and realise that her ascension to the throne now comes second to her fear for how alicent feels
"Alicent is Rhaenyra's judge and jury. No matter how polarized their relationship becomes, still it's Alicent's sign-off that Rhaenyra craves more than anyone's and that dynamic is established in that final exchange." - Emma D’arcy
