Why are certain people genuinely acting as if we thought Rhaenicent would end up being canon 😐

I don't really give a shit about shipping at the end of the day. But people getting PRESSED over it need to chill their jets.

I'm pretty sure most people who are a fan of Rhaenicent aren't thinking that the actual story is going to turn into sapphic utopia. This is the ASOIAF universe. It isn't a romance. And Rhaenyra & Alicent aren't going to end up falling in love based on what has happened so far and where it's going. We all know this.

I think the main attraction of Rhaenicent is the tragedy of it all and what could have been, and the aspect of queerness among young girls living in a patriarchal and religious society. I don't think anyone is fooling themselves into thinking there will be any serious or canonical romance between Nyra & Alicent (that would make any sense, anyway lol).

Anyway, at the end of the day it's just a ship that some people enjoy. It's not that serious.

#rhaenicent #hotd #house of the dragon #hotd thoughts #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent hightower #some takes are so bizarre to me like genuinely baffled by ppl dragging shippers of Rhaenicent #especially for the reason of... assuming that rhaenicent shippers thinking it will be canon?? #come on guys be serious #just let us live in an alternate reality and or enjoy the sapphic angst we've been given #let us be sad gays in peace thanks #also sidenote but GOT/HOTD etc. barely having any sapphic representation is something to be recognised especially in the wake of... #wlw representation in media in general #hbo #sapphic #wlw #just quick thoughts other people can analyse and express this type of thing better than i can lmao

I know it's not that serious but given how TB stans bully and attack TG stans and TG actors, I wish the cast wouldn't fuel fan wars and encourage tribalism of this fandom. “Can’r really say anything with the Greens, thankfully” srsly Harry? It's cool to support TB, but he is shading TG characters, and his “never” is like being TG is shameful and he wouldn't even think of it. And he is friends with Emily who is permanently hated by TB stans for supporting TG and rhaenicent. I'm probably overreacting but there is so much hate of the Greens in this fandom, it's overwhelming sometimes and TG is literally in the minority.

I generally disagree just because for the vast majority of actors, this is a job that they happened to get, and they shouldn't have to walk on eggshells just to avoid starting nonsense between the most intense, obsessive fans that they themselves almost certainly don't understand or give a shit about, nor should they.
