#idk I feel we get glimmers of that at the dinner of ep 8

I’m writing this…. Thing lmao, and I hope I’m not horribly mischaracterizing Helaena. Idk I find her difficult to characterize at times.

Also trying to describe her dragon dreams… bc they it is barely touched on nor explained for her.

Edit: oouuu the way I really want to write hotd Alicent and Helaena related stuff bc I do feel like I could bring some new dynamics to their characters. But it’s come to the point where I just prefer writing them in a modern setting bc I feel like I can get them out of their situation 😭😭 I don’t want them to suffer

#team green in tragic in general.. it’s a part of their charm! but god writing hotd Alicent and hel is so :(( #especially in work that is centered around them bc then you have no choice but to bring up how fucking shitty people are to them #like I genuinely see Helaena as an empathetic person #partly bc of her dreams but as well as her being neurodivergent - but I think in a way it heightens all of her emotions #idk I feel like people write kind of weird (I hope I’m not one of those people) #but just off lurking and reading things: she’s either 1. fodder for Aemond and or Aegon stans to insert into a narrative (her and the kids) #2. or people just completely write her ooc #like Helaena of all people turning on her family… right makes total sense 😭🙄 #anyway Helaena is gay and should be allowed to be kind and empathetic #but also funny and snarky and angry #idk I feel we get glimmers of that at the dinner of ep 8 #I feel like if she was afraid of Aegon or consequences she wouldn’t have made that drunk comment #or even agreed to dance with Jace
