all men do is glamour their faces, become hedge knights, gossip with innkeepers, scout the realm for blackfyre traitors and lie

shoutout to @dduane for posting about the science behind how a spoonful of sugar stops hiccups in their tracks because i had somehow convinced myself that i had overestimated the effectiveness of said hiccup cure as a child but i just got some bad hiccups and, reassured that it's a real cure, i ate a spoonful of sugar and it stopped them so immediately i almost feel like i imagined having them in the first place lol

NOBODY is doing goth love like Mina "babe, read my funeral rites" and Jonathan "if Mina must become a vamprie, I'll face God and walk backwards into Mina's loving, undead embrace" Harker. Nobody.

My mom is starting a master's in library science (46 years after graduating with her BA in 1977) and is somewhat unnerved. So we should all send her good vibes and reassurance that indeed, Academia Can Be Conquered.

the thing about alicent's "is there no one to take my side?" and ppl saying criston fills this role is that he doesn't. he very famously doesn't heed her order when she asks him to take luke's eye. probably being the first and only time alicent is exerting her power thru him and he denies her in front of everybody. he also is, very famously too, not afraid of the consequences so this more than killing joffrey, would've been "justified" in people's eye. the queen /ordered/ him too, rather than a fit of anger and "maybe joffrey was a threat" or whatever excuse they concocted. he puts himself first and leaves alicent to fail, alone.
she doesn't have any real ally, not in the way she wants and expects because all of them, and i'm including criston, larys and otto, are in there for their own gain and interests. maybe it's otto who has the same vision as her (of course, all that grooming wasn't for nothing) but alicent IS otto's tool while criston and larys present themselves as HER tools, but ultimately uncontrollable and unwieldy. to me, this kind of isolation alicent faces is really interesting because while she's finally otto's equal (as of eps 8/9), this is still the person who manipulated her all her life; criston is her loyal knight and her oldest ally, united against rhaenyra, but too uncontrollable & dangerous to her; larys is seemingly at her service & an intellectual partner but unknowable and untrustworthy at the same time. idk there isn't any point to this maybe that she should frankenstein herself a new ally & friend and be done with this
