what do u think of olivia cooke's take on alicole? while i really appreciate her insight i definitely never got the impression that alicent FEARED him.. (even when he kills beesbury by accident her reaction is more frustration imo) but idk..

listen i am no critical thinker (altho sometimes hotd twt does make me feel very smart) so take this with a huge grain of salt.

i think olivia got everything on point regarding alicole's dynamic (or at least what i understand it to be) but i was confused at the fear part too. we also have to consider that there are a lot of deleted scenes that may or may not be included in the blu-ray. the writers also didn't focus on building dynamics but rather shocking scenes that would catch the "local's" attention so there is a lot to just "figure it out yourself we dgaf". they could also completely change the dynamic next season.

but i think it could come from this:

alicent is shocked and horrified that criston just offed lord beesbury (even if accidentally, still) for simply insulting her (for something which alicent herself took no offense to) and then even drew his sword against his lord commander.

i don't think she knew until this moment just how far criston would go for her. he is her protector but i think she understood that as protecting her against active threats. this man here is a new version of the man she last saw at the wedding in 1.05, the one she gave a new purpose to.

her experience with men has been anything but positive (otto pimping her out, viserys raping her, larys SAing her) and none have protected her until now. now she doesn't know where to put criston because this is new to her. is he still the loyal 'friend' or maybe he sees her as something else? has he become blinded by the pedestal he put her on? is he a killing machine solely dedicated to her now?

then later she says this, while she leans closer to him: "I trust again to you, Ser Criston, and to your loyalty. [...] Everything you feel for me… as your Queen." she's playing on his feelings and on their bond. that 'as your queen' additon has to mean something bc that line was complete without it. i think she might be either putting him in his place or making sure that he still respects her (remember, to her, romantic connections hold nothing positive).

tldr she didn't think he'd kill someone simply for "insulting" her and that is the source of her fear

#alicole #im sorry if this is incoherent #but thank you so much for the ask i shed a few tears for someone asking my opinion on something #ask #there are a lot of i think bc like. idk giothguigt

so would it be repetitive if i ask you to do asoiaf too haha? do twilight tho 👀

ok i'll do both just for you 😉

asoiaf

otp: ya also jonsa to absolutely no one's surprise

favourite canon pairing: hmmmm tbh i don't really read much outside of my lil sphere. i love nedcat but wouldn't really engage in nedcat fanfic. i love sam/gilly but wouldn't really read for them. honestly maybe cersei/jaime bc i have read stuff with them in it and they're so fascinating to me but not in an i'm-rooting-for-them kind of way. i'm sort of similarly invested in dany/daario too. OH. robb/jeyne is very sweet to me.

worst pairing ever: sansa/tyrion. like honestly considering that sansa is my blorbo i can sort of ship her with anyone and to a degree i absolutely do but a lot of those needs to exist within certain parameters (like an au that sort of resets/reevaluates power dyanimcs) but i haven't really found a fic that has been able to compensate for that with these two in a way that feels meaningful to me. then again i also haven't gone looking!!! but ya probs them.

guilty pleasure pairing: you know i also love me some dany/sansa under the right circumstances, especially when it is toxic and complicated and messy, and even better when jon is also in the mix. dany/jon doesn't really do it for me at all but when you make it a love triangle with SANSA in the middle i am like ok tell me more!!!!! i'm listening!!!!!!!

a pairing you want to see more: honestly i know marg is also a teenage girl but i have always kind of felt that tyrion/margaery would be a way better pairing than tyrion/sansa, especially show/fanon margaery considering why don't ACTUALLY know that much about canon marg's personality. tyrion still gets to date a hot girly who is smart and clever which is what everyone who likes him wants for him but now she is actually ambitious (as opposed to just wanting to have autonomy) and could appreciate his cunning/schemes/what he could bring to the table for her. also she clearly has fewer problems getting with a lannister!!!

that pairing everyone likes but you’re like “lol no”: hmmm idk about everyone likes but i have seen enough people do ned/cersei and i just don't think it's for me. like i see what ned could bring to the table for cersei in terms of a worthy husband and i haven't engaged much with this ship so maybe i'm just missing it but to me it seems like the vibes would be like???? ned making cersei good through the power of his love??? and maybe we should just let a woman be evil 😤

favorite non-romantic pair: sansa and arya i think probably!!!!!! the stark sisters are something that is so important to me and i love getting to write scenes for them

twilight

otp: hmmm i think i gotta go with edward/bella for this one. honestly i think i was kind of sold on jacob in new moon until he kissed bella and she punched him in the face and then everyone was like "ha ha yay jacob shot his shot" and i was like EXCUSE ME???? that said back in like middle school i'm p sure i did think all the bella/edward soulmate pining stuff (the SILENCE when he LEAVES) was desperately romantic

favourite canon pairing: that said..... rosalie/emmett supremacy. rosalie is a queen. she deserves everything!!!!!

worst pairing ever: cannot express enough how completely uninvested i am in alice/jasper. he is both a) uninteresting to me and b) a confederate soldier who seemingly has never really reckoned with that!!! alice/bella much more interesting frankly. alice/ANGELA much more interesting frankly!!!!! wait i forgot about jacob/renesmee. it's jacob/renesmee.

guilty pleasure pairing: hmmmm. maybe rosalie/bella. can you imagine???????????? i can. :) bella stop talking about how hot rosalie is all of the time maybe!!!! that said i kind of also love rosalie as a bella hater lmfao so that makes it complicated for sure. but imagine bella in bella-edward levels of despair over her love for rosalie and rosalie kind of like.... i hate u but u ARE delicious. i also hate that i think that. and yet.... delicious. idk there's something here.

a pairing you want to see more: SOMEONE WHO IS WORTHY OF LEAH!!!!!! she deserves to have a girlfriend. maybe angela. maybe one of jacob's older sisters. no men allowed, thanks. she's a lesbian TO ME!!!!

that pairing everyone likes but you’re like “lol no”: it's not that i don't like carlisle/esme it's just that i am also BORED by them. maybe if they got more in canon i would care more. also i wouldn't really say this is a ship that everyone "likes" but while i can get behind an ot3 for edward/bella/jacob i am really not interestined in edward/jacob on their own

favorite non-romantic pair: seth and jacob!!! seth and bella!! seth and leah!!!! seth is baby. he too deserves the world. maybe a boyfriend. both clearwaters are gay, no further questions, your honor.
