the more and more i think about alicent and rhaenyra's "friendship", the more i think that alicent deserved way better Φ΄ Φ΄ i dunno, i just find it crazy how tb is always like, "alicent betrayed rhaenyra" and "alicent stole the throne from rhaenyra to give to her son" Φ΄ Φ΄ what the fuck was alicent supposed to do? come on, team black supporters, think.
it was rhaenyra who betrayed alicent first when she lied to her about daemon touching her, let us not forget. also, it was always alicent trying to reach out to rhaenyra to make amends, but rhaenyra was too much of a spoiled brat to realize that alicent never had a choice to marry who she wanted, unlike rhaenyra.
rhaenyra was given a choice on who she would marry at the beginning before viserys grew too frustrated Φ΄ Φ΄ and henceforth, he picked out a husband for her (all because rhaenyra thought she was too good for any of the lords presented to her) Φ΄ Φ΄ for fucks sake, she could've married harwin if she truly wanted, and honestly it would've been better if she had since then her children's legitimacy wouldn't be put into question.
and i'm sorry, but the whole "the greens are traitors" is just soo silly to me because really Φ΄ Φ΄ what tf did y'all expect? was alicent just supposed to happily bend the knee to rhaenyra when ALL of her children's lives would be put in jeopardy?
that no matter what, as long as aegon, aemond, and daeron breathed, their claim would ultimately always be stronger than rhaenyra's claim (especially aegon's) β regardless of what viserys wanted, aegon is the firstborn son and has a very strong (and legitimate) claim regardless of tb's denial Φ΄ Φ΄ it's just a fact.
besides that, rhaenyra literally says it herself, that she "must" take aegon's head for all to see Φ΄ Φ΄ i guess she must've forgotten all about jaehaerys, just like the writers made her forget all about her own son, lucerys.
i also find it comical that tb's defense in all of this is "an eye for an eye, a son for a son" Φ΄ Φ΄ but what justice was done for aemond when he lost his eye? or are we just forgetting the fact that there was no justice given to the child who was maimed by his bastard nephew?
i dunno Φ΄ Φ΄ i just guess that if i was put in alicent's shoes, i too would crown my son for the purposes of not only just protecting my children, but also to spite my deadbeat (rapist) husband who neglected and ignored not just me, but all of my children.
