Crispin’s proposal was rejected with arguments regarding matters of duty.
With Daemon, Rhaenyra not only does she propose to him herself, but completely forgets/doesn’t give a damn that she is the Crown. 😂
Which goes to show you, this was never about her not wanting to leave behind her duties or her position as Heir to the Iron Throne and sail away somewhere with someone she loves.
This was about how she never wanted Crispin. She has always wanted Daemon. Rhaenyra was willing to ride off with Daemon and marry him without her father’s consent, knowing that there would be a good chance for him to disinherit her.

I am beyond amazed, and words can't describe how fortunate I am to be able to experience this in my lifetime. I have thought of this man as a role model since my elementary days. I am now a grown woman of 24. I have my Bachelor's degree in nursing. I'm a registered nurse. One of the few people i have adored since childhood has appeared and performed in person.
I actually want to just be myself. But better. I want to be more brave to get what I want and achieve all my goals no matter what. My methods may differ from people and thats fine. So i gues I would sonewhat be a villian to other people and to other people I am the anti-hero idk. And i guess that's important to take note of. To be aware the world doesn't revolve around you but you do make majority of the choices in your own life and sometimes other people's too. It's synergy, paradoxical, interchangeable and interconnected. That's the beauty of it.
I like to think the very first episode we saw aleksander's back and alina looking back into the ship that their eyes met. That their connection to balance the world because of their affinities called to each other. That you could see in her face a flicker of curiosity and familiarity. Like calls to like. And that itself was such a powerful part of the cinematography. Words are skin deep. Each look, touch, and breath they take towards each other tell such a complex story that needs to be really delved into. And i find it so fascinating. So alluring the way their dynamic is. How millions of emotions could fleet before our eyes from observing them.
And that makes me weak. Because I want it so badly. So badly to see it unfold.
