If I hadnβt read the books/watched the show- I would genuinely think Alicent was a tortured small folk girl and not the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm who hailed from one of the most ancient, wealthiest and powerful houses of nobility in Westeros who control the citadel and faith of the seven and then went to marry the king during a time of peace and prosperity and then went on to actively rule in his stead for years because he was too sick to do so himself.
But if alicent stans actually acknowledged all of that, they wouldnβt be able to chronically victimise her
Lmaoooo anon, that's literally so trueππ They act like she was picked up off the street with no family, no influence, no money. Like that girl was the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm.
Yeah, in the the show, she was initially left with little choice, like before she married Viserys. But, she still is more privileged than almost everyone currently in ASOIAF. She's rich, has power, she can literally attack the heir to the throne with no consequences! That girl activity chooses to be a victim after the time skip.
To her stans though, she may as well be an impoverished saint.
attributing all failings of house targaryen to 'rot' they have inherited from their valyrian ancestors, to me, feels one metaphor away from interpreting generations of one family as ontologically predisposed to ruin. i understand the intent here is to speak of the general decline of their monarchical power, but dynastic declines don't happen in a vacuum because of there being something specifically, inherently wrong with one family. they're all actors within a violently misogynistic, feudal society. this obviously isn't an extraordinary observation, and discussions involving other noble houses get this, yet when it comes to the targaryens everything has to be chalked up to 'valyrian supremacy'. sorry but i don't think this achieves anything beyond simply moralising their behaviour in itself without recognising how it has been influenced and enabled by westerosi society.
and i donβt even like staying up this late i just do it
I'm glad more people are on the "hating the way condal and co write alicent" train, but it's a bit funny that people are only now starting to see it for what it is. Unfortunately, this is where it has been heading at least since s1ep8.
