Alys looks like the witch at a '90s Halloween party, while Criston and Gwayne have apparently shown up to go trick-or-treating.

ser criston cole ──★ the kingmaker

rewatching ep5 we light the way and the way the wedding vows are being said over this scene of criston attempting suicide and alicent saving him...the real union of the night being between them. in this episode they're finally disillusioned of the roles they've been playing. they realise they'd been lied to and used. and at the end of the episode, they are just raw mirrors of shame and naivety staring back at each other asking for help. one flesh, whatever may come

"Rhaenyra is a Cunning Spider. Long ago she drew Alicent into her web. Intoxicated her." And then we get Ser Criston in view of a spider's web well, well, well...how the turn tables.

criston calling alicent "the beacon i follow" when she was dressed as the green beacon of the hightower on the night she saved his life... i'm so normal about them y'all

"she's the beacon i follow" is literally the most romantic line to come out of this godforsaken season

The dragons dance and men are like dust under their feet, all our fine thoughts and endeavors are as nothing.

JAIME LANNISTER and SER CRISTON COLE

On the appointed day, Ser Criston Cole placed the steel-and-ruby crown of Aegon the Conqueror upon the brow of the eldest son of King Viserys and Queen Alicent, proclaiming him Aegon of House Targaryen, Second of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm. His mother, Queen Alicent, beloved of the smallfolk, placed her own crown upon the head of her daughter, Helaena Aegon's wife and sister. After kissing her cheeks, the mother knelt before the daughter, bowed her head, and said, “My Queen.”
