see i was not a believer in the purported future jonsnow/daenerys/“aegon” “targaryen” young griff conflict when people were calling it “second dance of the dragons” that’s just not interesting. but that might just be shieraquaithe’s favorite psychic child versus bloodraven’s extremely employed nights watch teenage puppet governor versus doomed child soldier dutifully carrying bittersteel’s golden skull back into westeros. intriguing.

#what does it all mean. #asoiaf #shiera isnt quaithe shes a hightower but many do not know this

We might be the most industrious fandom out in these streets. 11 total minutes of screen time stretched out for 18 months. Just wait until we have eight episodes.

something something ‘feminine’ female characters being deserving of all things good and righteous and holy because of them overcoming their suffering by working within the system that hurts them using their wiley feminine attributes and charm something something ‘masculine’ female characters being villainized for fighting outside the constraints of the system they’re still subjected to in a more hands on approach and being victims of similar if not the same circumstances as their ‘feminine’ female peers but it doesn’t count for some reason because they don’t suffer as prettily as their counterparts something something

Something striking about the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent that the show tries to awkwardly scoot past is that time and time again, Alicent sacrifices her own interests and desires for Rhaenyra's benefit, while Rhaenyra never does the reverse. Alicent teaches Rhaenyra history, dresses and crowns her for her investment ceremony, comforts her after her mother's death, advises Viserys *against* naming Aegon heir, supports reconciliation between Rhaenyra and Viserys that ultimately gets her father and sole supporter fired, seriously considers switching sides to her despite the severe risk to her own children, and goes against her father to try and save her life. The most Rhaenyra gives Alicent is a few hollow words of praise in episode 8.

Though the show doesn't seem to realize it, their relationship isn't one of equals, but of master and servant. Otto and Alicent are parallels in this sense - both are in a sense, servants of the Targaryens who do not wish to merely serve. But the show buys into the expectation of their service and Targaryen masterdom uncritically: the great crime of Otto and Alicent is their attempt to subvert the natural order of things rather than meekly serving their Targaryen masters. It's why Alicent is most sympathetic when she is loyal to Rhaenyra, but the reverse isn't true, because why would Rhaenyra be expected to do anything for a mere servant like Alicent?

Which really just goes to show the big class blind spot the show has. By presenting "goodness" as solely a function of how closely one can follow Viserys' orders, they're regurgitating one aspect of medieval social customs to oppose another. With this context, Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship feels less healthy and a lot more like a premonition of Alicent's relationship to Viserys, with similar power imbalances. Rhaenyra and Alicent love each other, but Rhaenyra sees Alicent as a sidekick at best, doesn't take her seriously as someone with her own inner life and desires, and is sensitive to Alicent's perceived disobedience ("questioning my virtue is an act of treason.")

I think it also gives context to Criston and Alicent's relationship, given that Criston is *also* relatively low nobility, and a servant to the Targaryens, who feels taken advantage of by them, and whose great crime is trying to be something other than a servant, to *make* kings, not just to serve them.

To the people who claim that Aemond is an “upgraded” version of Daemon, please remember that throughout history, Aemond is remembered for only two things:

1. That he murdered Lucerys Velaryon in cold blood and stupidly started the whole civil war (Aemond the Kinslayer)

2. That he had one eye (Aemond One-Eye).

In the meantime, Daemon is remembered for:

1. Having defeated the Crabfeeder and having won the war in the Stepstones;

2. Being the first Prince Consort to a ruling Queen;

3. Being the most feared man in the Realm at the time of the Dance of the Dragons;

4. Being the wielder of Dark Sister;

5. Being the best Lord Commander the City Watch ever had;

6. Being called ‘Prince of the City’ by the smallfolk who adored him;

7. Being the father of two Kings.

So, don’t insult the great Prince Daemon Targaryen by comparing him to that mindless, anger-driven wannabe.

brynden bloodraven in his tree cave watching the sixteen year-old he used psychic raven election tampering magic to install as the lord commander of the night’s watch ignore every single increasingly less subtle omen hinting at his greater place in the upcoming war for the dawn as king beyond the wall and warg and champion of the free folk. because he simply loves doing inventory paperwork and loan negotiation THAT much. and then gets killed trying to brazenly walk out of the job GOING THE WRONG WAY after telling everyone he is deserting.

#asoiaf #why’d he rig that anyway. what was he..trying to do

[rhaenin-time]

Alicent isn't a kidnapped maiden locked in a tower guarded by dragons. She keeps herself in there, demands the (girl) dragons join her in there, and wages war against said dragons when they don't come into a tower where they don't even FIT.
