do you think alicent sees aegon as the nail in the coffin that determined the rest of her life. like she was married to viserys and that was bad enough but i wonder if she thought at the start of their marriage what reconciliation with rhaenyra would look like and how far away it was, how maybe if she was infertile or maybe if she only had girls maybe there was still something, some impossible chance that one day she wouldn’t have to face the choice that birthing a son would bring—to watch him either be put to the throne or rhaenyra’s sword. i wonder if every night of her first pregnancy chipped away at her hope. i wonder if when she had aegon she knew nothing could ever be the same and tried to bury it nonetheless. but then to watch him grow into this thing that he is and to love him because he’s her son but resent him because he’s a man who does exactly what other men did to you, and he turns other girls into the girl you once were, it’s like—when does the resentment overpower the love? how can they coexist? or do they have to coexist because every love you’ve ever had has been tinged by resentment and any other kind no longer makes sense? how else do you love? what do you have to do to deserve it? what does reconciliation look like, how far away is it????? and now on his deathbed the man who put you here, put your son here and never once cared, who hammered the nail in your coffin, tells you something that makes you believe that maybe it was all worth it. maybe the love can be bigger than the resentment, just this once. so rhaenys is standing in front of her on a roaring dragon and alicent would die for her son without question in that moment (in any moment, i think, but especially now) because despite being the worst thing to happen to her, he’s also the only evidence she has that what she went through meant anything at all.
Introducing the hot new quiz show: Pride vs Place!
It's simple: you just have to identify whether the flag belongs to a place or is a pride flag.

Hard Mode
I'm begging people to not bombard Finn with questions about Mileven and Byler at his panel coming up. There are other things to ask him about than his character's love life. And don't ask questions he obviously can't answer like "will Mike and El breakup??" or "Who will be endgame Mileven or Byler??" DON'T ASK THOSE KIND OF QUESTIONS. HE CAN'T GIVE YOU A REAL ANSWER.
Ask him about the upcoming movie he is directing. Ask him about his music. Ask him about Mike as an individual. Ask literally anything else. Just don't BOMBARD him with questions about ships. That's all the interviewers asked him about during the season four press and he seemed annoyed by it. PLEASE ask him stuff that isn't about Mileven or Byler.
Idk if I’ve ever said this before, because I’ve always been too scared of the backlash. But you know what, finding another anti really gave me confidence. So here we go.
I HATE Jim Hopper, and frankly I don’t understand why everyone loves him so much. He literally abused El, and was getting real close to abusing Joyce. Jopper is literally the worst relationship in the show.
And I don’t care how annoying Mike was being, as the adult in the situation it was incredibly horrible of Hopper to lie to Mike and say that his grandma was injured, and then to death threaten him. So there I said it. I hope I don’t lose too many followers.
I GOT RICKROLLING 💀
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.

Labour by Paris Paloma is for Alicent Hightower and Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo is for Rhaenyra Targaryen. Just for if anyone was wondering.
The only correct way for the show to end 😌

shoutout to heartstopper for not shying away from using the world lesbian once again in season 2. actually shoutout to heartstopper for using all the words, bisexual, lesbian, asexual, aromantic, trans. shoutout to heartstopper for not only using the word gay, but making characters reclaim their identities in every possible way. nick always clarifying that he’s bi, actually. the person at lambert saying they’re asexual and aromantic. tara and darcy calling themselves lesbians. it is so empowering to hear it on tv
