larys and tyland were talking about aegon like a divorced gay couple arguing about their kid. you want him to spend the summer in braavos? he hates the heat! a monkey could attack him. are you projecting your fear of monkeys on our son? well, a large bird could carry him off. oh look, our son killed someone because you distracted me,

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | Season 3, Episode 5, "Unbowed and Unbent"

Ormund's Meria Martell glazing was so intense that the episode was named after it. In a show about a conflict with no dornish involvement there's a whole episode named "unbowed and unbent" I think that's more respect given to Dorne than the entirety of seasons 5-8 of GOT (I am overjoyed, Meria Martell is also #myglupshitto)

okay so Rhaenyra uses the tunnels when she’s younger to escape and find sexual freedom and yet when Alicent attempts to follow on that same path the way is blocked for her

something people (understandably) haven’t commented on is that armand’s moment of branding louis is meant to parallel the loustat pocket thing—(dream)lestat in s2 saying louis’s name was stitched into the pocket against his heart so that louis would always cradle him/be cradled -> louis in the finale toward the end of an apology his abuser is forcing out of him noting with some sincerity that armand deserves a love that cradles him… and then armand writes a over louis’s heart in acknowledgment that louis was/is forced to cradle armand. everything about loumand is actually about loustat and/or lesmand and in armand’s case it goes back to marius

anyway. that scene is still so fucking vile. i disagree that it was out of character for armand and think it makes sense that he is so bent on positioning himself as louis’s victim (lol) but this character beat no longer works because the narrative is on armand’s side and the narrative is even more invested in shaming and brutalizing louis

I think you're right that it's at least partially a reference to dreamstat's pocket inscription thing. It feels like another cruel callback to punish Louis; in s2 he imagines his partner romantically telling him that he had Louis' initials inscribed on his pocket so that Louis' name would always cradle his heart. In s3 the said partner vehemently denies that he'd ever do that and acts like it's an offense. Instead Louis has another partner to carve his initial over Louis heart in the most violent and dehumanizing way, brand him like he's a slave. It seems that the script didn't indicate why Armand as a character did that and the actors' are clearly struggling to explain his motives. Louis' reaction to it apparently also isn't indicated because the show isn't interested in Louis interiority anymore. Ultimately the main reason why it happened is that the writers wanted to brutalize Louis as much they could
