“aemond and aegon are horrible, horrible people. this causes alicent even more bitterness toward rhaenyra, who she's watched take to motherhood so easily.”
— olivia cooke
to think deep down jace himself struggled with the ‘bastard’ rumors and the driftmark incident yet kept a happy face for luke because he noticed luke being uncomfortable and upset, luke was always his strength to do better…truly the best older brother :(
this art of aemma and rhaenyra makes me so emotional ☹️ rhaenyra was only 8 when her mother died, and she had witnessed how pregnancy after pregnancy drained her mother’s health throughout her childhood 😕
“she might have been a septa if her lord father had allowed it. but he did not, and viserys instead wed her to aegon in 153 AC, with king aegon iii’s blessing. histories tell us aemon quarreled with aegon at the wedding feast, and that naerys wept during the bedding.”
