having both daemon and rhaenyra’s significant others/parents of their children die by fire is just screaming doubles. like even their partners are looking in the mirror. they’re already married to very similar looking siblings (daemon even commenting on laenor being pretty). they now both have two children of the opposite gender with a third of the way. they’re both trapped, rhaenyra in the life she’s always had, clutching to it so tightly scared to let in slip though her fingers. and daemon having already let it slip is now trapped in the freedom he is granted, freedom to go and live anywhere and anyhow he pleases. anywhere except the one place he truly wants to be.
this and episode three are probably the only two episodes we will get without them together and yet they are both still intrinsically tied. episode three with them violently taking a life. verses now with a potential birth and then ultimately with a life being taken from them. the life that helped them bare new life. insane.

top 5 hotd characters! <3
oohh thank you for the question!
1. rhaenyra. does that surprise anyone at this point. every single time i think about them my brain short-circuits. mother and king and dragon and above all the love of my life 🖤🖤🖤
2. alicent. the girl in the tower becoming the tower itself in an ultimately futile attempt to save herself from the dragons! she's so tragic i need to get her out of there... also the things she's done for repressed lesbians everywhere cannot be overstated.
3. daemon. literally have not stopped thinking about him since i heard "this family already has its visenya". cringefail but simultaneously serving cunt in every scene he's in Who is doing it like him.
4. helaena. i, known arachnophobe, would literally listen to her talk about spiders bugs etc for hours her autistic girl swag is everything to me <3
5. rhaenys. the way she's clearly still so bitter but willing to put it aside for the sake of her family, her relationships with corlys and rhaenyra... book rhaenys is such a non-character after the great council i love the way they expanded on her

🔥 alicent!!
oh ho!!! my unpopular opinion about her is what makes her interesting to me: she's a bad person.
the whole point of hotd is that no one on either side of the dance is a purely good or purely evil person. they all have flaws and nuances and they are all three dimensional people and they are all saddled with the yoke of patriarchy, dynasty, imperialism, legacy, etc. all the things that make the iron throne the exact sort of endless death pit that it is.
alicent had horrible things happen to her. she was abused, taken advantage of, mistreated. she has had an ugly and difficult life shaped by the people who should have been caring for her.
and she also perpetuates her father's cycle of abuse with her own children!! she actively wishes and enacts harm on her childhood best friend, on the future queen of the realm!! she has all the tools at her disposal to change the narrative of her life and she won't because she can't.
that makes her an incredibly tragic and painful character. she is imo incredibly well written as both a victim and a perpetrator of abuse. the fact that she is sitting in her gilded cage and polishing the bars instead of trying to slip out from between them is both tragic and infuriating. that's the point. the cyclical tragedy of her miserable life is perpetuated by her own hand. that's why it's sad!!
i've been so disappointed by both people who like and dislike alicent because i feel like so many people just want to root for soccer teams instead of meaningfully engage in the story. yes, she suffers. yes she is in immense and terrible pain. no, she is not the virgin mary. no, she is not a catholic saint.
"But there is no mysterious virtue in Justine’s suffering. The martyrdom of this Christ-figure is absolutely useless; she is a gratuitous victim. And if there is no virtue in her suffering, then there is none, it turns out, in her virtue itself; it does nobody any good, least of all herself." <- i already have this in my justine/alicent comparison but it really rings sooooo true for me wrt like her own attitude toward her suffering and self-punishment and the comfort she takes in perpetuating her own oppression and imposing it on others
like, the child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort! it's just silly imo to act like alicent doesn't want the people around her to suffer. like she doesn't take pleasure in torturing rhaenyra and her husband(s) and her children.
and it's also so upsetting to me when people are like "ha ha alicunt deserves to burn in hell what a dumb bitch!!" because like... i'm serious she is a very well written and nuanced character and she makes me so sad and i can understand not liking her but if you just want to call her an annoying stuck up bitch like you are being willfully obtuse. you are purposefully watching this show with your eyes closed and your ears plugged.
"hurt people hurt people" is like sooooooo trite and overplayed and like we get it we all watched house md but the thing is that it is true!! people who were victims of abuse go on to abuse others that is what generational trauma is! how can you look at alicent and just expect her to like. fucking what. fucking what!! do you want her to do??? you want her to like invent DBT and then put herself through it??
also i've talked to you about this lol but there is no happy ending for alicent ever. like she simply cannot escape the narrative that she has spent her whole life cocooning herself in and smothering everyone around her with. she is never going to end up with rhaenyra, or criston, or find self actualization. she is doomed like capital D fucking DOOMED like old valyria. ring of fire baby. black earth. i love her so fucking much.

for the ship game…daemon/rhaenyra 🫶
1. what made you ship it?
listen,,,,,,,,,,,,, the dynamics are both varied and flawless. petulant babygirl who has her mean evil uncledaddy on a string? got it. bad bitch in charge and her wretched simp of a malewife? yep. horrible people who are v. soft with each other? check. unhinged freaks who relate more strongly to a culture they've never actually lived than the one they were born into? drinking each other's blood in a secret marriage ceremony? yeah, daemyra's there
2. what are you favorite things about the ship?
all of the above dynamics but also: the dragons! the insanity! the unwillingness to let anything go! they way they retaliate against each other while simultaneously being the only true shelter either one has ever experienced! the way they see each other!
also holy fucking shit the chemistry in the show is scorching regardless of who is playing rhaenyra
3. is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
contrary to what ryan condal and sarah hess seem to think, daemon would never lay hands on rhaenyra like that. it's not borne out in either f&b or, you know, the rest of the goddamn show.
and if for some reason he ever did touch her like that, he'd immediately flip out and self-flagellate like. my god. the degree to which they do not understand or care about his character is both genuinely astounding and extremely infuriating.
send me a ship!

Rhaenyra's amble through the night market with Daemon is absolutely my favorite sequence in hotd thus far

Hi, I really hope this won’t be too weird or invasive. If so please disregard this message. But I’ve been following you for quite a while and many of your posts have really helped me in dealing with trauma and abuse and I wanted to thank you for it. Knowing that you are interested in captivity narratives I thought I could direct you towards a movie that, despite not being perfect, I found really interesting. It’s called Stockholm Pennsylvania and it’s directed by Nikole Beckwith. Again sorry for this unprompted rec but I thought you might appreciate it <3
Not invasive at all! I am so touched to know that things I've written have been helpful for you, and I appreciate the recommendation.
