I see people here going back and forth, defending the greens, defending the blacks, and I think you're missing the point.
Nobody in this family is freaking blameless in this. Everybody has a certain quota of guilt in the events that will follow.
Oh because Alicent didn't blame Rhaenyra for this and Rhaenyra isn't guilty of that. You're missing the point.
This is the story of a great house plagued from the inside out! From the politicking, from the blatant disrespect of natural order (uncles marrying nieces, siblings marrying each other, first cousins being betrothed to 'strengthen the blood and the bond between the houses'), from having allied to them beasts that could burn the entire world down on a whim. They turn on each other because, despite being a family, they treat each other as adversaries. They absolutely despise each other and commit atrocities just to get to decide who sits in a devil-chair.
It's pointless to point fingers and say x or y started the war, to say that the greens did x wrong and the blacks are the morally superior ones in the show is wrong.
They are all war criminals, they are all at fault here.

One thing ive been thinking about lately is that like
Its okay to only ever make bad art. Its okay to only paint "boring" things or only draw the same thing a million times or only be "okay" at sewing or crochet. Sometimes i think theres this idea that its okay to make bad art because its part of the process of making good art, but i think its fine to make art that is bad or just okay and not keep looking at it thinking about ways it is flawed or ways to make it better. If you want to improve and grow, thats great and you will through the process of just doing something over and over or looking for advice or other ways of learning.
But its also totally okay to only ever want to make bad art
