One of the funnier criticisms of the HoTD show I read once was vaguely along the lines of „they ruined the antagonistic relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra by making them the same age and now people ship them!“

Like my guy, buddy, friend. The evil older stepmom Alicent x young Rhaenyra ship would have been so good!!!! They would have been shipped just as hard!

The criticism of being the ship happening is so fucking funny like it would happen regardless lmfao

[iflipforrizzles]

Truly there aren’t enough fanfics out there with that dynamic. I think I’ve seen more Older Rhaenyra x Younger Alicent fics, for some reason.

Rhaenyra: So... where's my gold?

Alicent:

“Rhaenyra is kind of seeking the approval of her prisoner. As though you’ve locked up your conscious in the castle and you come in periodically to sort of check in and see how they think you’re doing.”

[stupendousnightinspo]

rhaenyra when anyone asks her to do something for them: *queen face* *retail smile* *panic behind the eyes* *armor on* *leaves*

rhaenyra when alicent asks her to do something for her: *breathes for the first time that day* yes of course baby girl

[forgotmysword]

rhaenicent realness AND the notion that viserys is the true villain of this story seeping into rhaenyras mind. YUM

[garnetislovegarnetislife]

rhaenyra’s harem being her literal uncle, her uncles ex lover, and her stepmother is INSANE. only in the targaryens truly

My name is Alicent Hightower…

You killed my father…

You could’ve done it with ceremony.

RHAENYRA, ALICENT, & HELAENA in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ── season 3, episode 3.

[iflipforrizzles]

The first time Rhaenyra’s ever spoken with one of her siblings.

[iflipforrizzles]

Something I appreciate about the Rhaenyra and Alicent fandom is that, regardless of whether people ship Rhaenicent romantically or see them as tragic friends, there’s a widespread tendency to engage with them as people first. Fans meme them, analyze their flaws, poke fun at their disastrous communication, celebrate their strengths, and argue over their choices with the same energy traditionally reserved for popular male characters. That kind of investment feels significant. For once, two female characters are driving the conversation. Of course some people are bitching about who is prettier or more moral, but most people are just enjoying their complexity.

Don’t get me wrong. Fandom is still misogynistic when it comes to women, but it is nice to see this. Maybe there is some hope after all.

[calliopeans]

i’ve never been less interested in the “correct” adaptation of a book than in this moment. the entire rest of the season could be comprised of hour-long episodes of alicent bouncing on rhaenyra’s strap and i’d be like and what of it

[iflipforrizzles]

Hey, before there was Fire and Blood, there was The Princess and The Queen. The people complaining about them being the main characters either don’t know the history of the series, or they’re misogynistic and/or homophobic, or all three.

Also Fire & Blood was written to be a biased history textbook, not an impartially narrated account.

[iflipforrizzles]

Gal pals, Sappho and her friend, etc.

[ladystoneshart]

I'm gonna think about this scene for the rest of my life alicent's eyes going from otto to rhaenyra and being met with the most charged complex look in human history ouch ouch ouch
