This show & its production team is so fucking unhinged lmao,,,, like we just saw Tim Minear going like “here’s your buddie scenes you fucking whores”🥰 meanwhile Ryan was in the next room basically confirming Eddie’s queer
She's hypnotized to think her hand has a mind of its own and wants to hypnotize her! She tries to resist, but in the end her hand drops her into trance.
- Feudalism was a thing before the Targs. They did not invent it.
- Criston felt oppressed and so he took out his anger by… bashing in the head of a man completely unrelated? How does that make sense?
- Criston Cole gets away with said murder BECAUSE he, too, is a part of said hierarchical system and is therefore protected by it. How oppressed are you, really, if you can bash the brains in of Laenors lover in the middle of a royal wedding and yet face no backlash?
- He’s literally attending Rhaenyras wedding, a wedding she didn’t want but is forced to go through after her father’s threats to disinherit her. The whole event makes a show of Rhaenyra being forced to submit to the patriarchal society she’s a part of, so the insinuation that Rhaenyra isn’t oppressed makes no sense because he—as a man—will always have more protection and power than she will ever have even as a princess. Rhaenyra being forced to marry based on rumors vs Cole feeling angry and proceeding to murder someone is a clear illustration of this disparity.
