In retrospect, it's hilarious that Stratt made everybody on the vat speak English in deference to Grace being monolingual

Because with how quickly Grace was able to pick up Eridian, even with literally NOTHING about it being familiar the way a human language would be, they probably could have chosen Mandarin as the universal language on Stratt's Vat and he would have just. Learned it.

house of the dragon is fundamentally a story which centres rhaenyra and alicent and their persisting tragic love for each other and there is genuinely no way this ends without alicent on dragonstone bearing witness to rhaenyra and aegon's confrontation. the dominos are lined up to fall like this. between "i want to fly with you" and "come with me" we are hurdling towards rhaenyra making that bid again and alicent finally taking that leap. them running away together is chekov's gun primed to go off

and another inevitability of this narrative to me is aegon's death and the central role i think alicent has to play. rumours abound in f&b as to who does it but for this show, for this story, alicent has to be the hand at which he meets his end.

what is aegon truly if not the very physical manifestation of Alicent's duty, created from her very flesh and blood. the son viserys wanted so badly, the boy otto sought after so much he shoved his daughter into marriage with a man old enough to be her father, the son alicent schemed and plotted to put on the throne because she believed it was her duty to heed a dying man's words (not matter that it was a misunderstanding). aegon is the symbol of the rift between rhaenyra and alicent, the first crack in the fissure.

and the love that alicent and rhaenyra share persists throughout the entirety of the show, beyond reason in the minds of other characters, none of them able to grasp the nature of it. otto and aemond and aegon consistently accusing alicent of her love for rhaenyra, jace pleading with his mother to not trust a word alicent says, rhaenyra sparing alicent's life when she retakes kings landing

what kills aegon if not that persisting love that exists between them?

what sees rhaenyra's blood on the throne if not alicent herself?

and what is love, if not the death of duty?

talking strictly about hbo hotd rhaenyra right now when i say this but that 14 year old girl has such amazing restraint after watching her father slowly destroy her mother with each failed pregnancy until it killed her, which then propelled him into a grief that left him emotionally unavailable for months while rhaenyra was left to mourn on her own, grappling with the pride/fear/anger of being named heir ONLY after her father seemingly realized he would never have a promised male heir and she was all that was left, only for him to then MARRY HER best friend without a WORD of warning or conversation about it, which then put her said best friend through the same cycle of pushing out heirs and putting rhaenyra's own position as heir (which HE put on HER shoulders and she did NOT ask for) at risk...and this all happened without rhaenyra killing someone.

i am so serious about that. this is an emotionally devastated and betrayed FOURTEEN year old girl with a LARGE fire breathing dragon at her disposal.

do you know how fast and furiously i, at 14, would have blown up kings landing if i found out my shit ass father was marrying my best friend? actually, scratch that, do you wanna know how fast i would have turned the red keep to ruins after learning my father finally managed to kill my mother in his pursuit of another child???? aemma's body wouldn't even be cold by the time i had hopped on syrax and massacred half the goddamn city

honestly good on rhaenyra for somehow managing to keep all of her shit together and, at most, being petty and passive aggressive and not going down a path of maegor-esque destruction because she very much had the power to do so if she really wanted to

One thing the HOTD/GOT fandom has taught me is that some people just can't handle anything beyond like preschool level villains and heroes. Like a story has to be black and white in its simplicity for some people to understand. And that two things can exist at once, and that it's possible for a character to make mistakes, make terrible decisions, and also still be a victim. Victimhood doesn't absolve bad decisions the same way bad decisions don't cancel out trauma. And just because you personally don't like a character doesn't mean when discussing them you get to just dilute their character, motivations and story down to suit your own personal preference.

Oh and it's become especially clear that for a female victim to be given any sort of sympathy they need to be the next Virgin Mary or something equally as holy and flawless

imagine being seen by your father as a body that will secure his bloodline the throne at the age of fourteen and then marrying a man twenty years your senior who will never view you as his true wife, just a pretty thing to touch and impregnate even though the children you bleed out will never replace his heir so you just have to lay there and let a sick dying old man violate you again and again and again and again to produce children that, at best, will never inherit anything or, at worst, be killed for the sin of being born because you have only ever been a pawn in your fathers ambitions, so you lay and bleed and breed and birth children you never wanted and raise children while yourself still a child and then your sons turn violent just like every other man in your life and then your son looks at you the same way your husband did and then he touches you and kisses you the way your husband did and you have to simply smile and take it at the age of thirty the same way you did at the age of fourteen because no matter what you do all the men in your family see you as a thing as a body as a womb as a desire something to touch something to own something to use

What if you had the face and the faith and the kindness of a mother you never really knew because she sent you away to protect you from the place that trapped and abused her but you ended up trapped and abused all the same stuck in the same cycle bound to a man supposed to protect you and love you but instead sees you as a means to put his blood on the throne and now despite the fact that you are so kind you must become so cruel to please him because all you have ever known is pleasing him happened to my good friend daeron targaryen
