Phia saying that Alicent did her best and oh my god with Helaena she really did… her motherhood was inflicted, she never wanted these children, she never got to find out whether she could have wanted children, and in the sons she knew she soon saw shadows of the men who did this to her, she watched patriarchy sink into them until she could no longer recognize or reach them, and her anger, her internalized hatred of herself and other women, her inability to show them affection etc only made them sink deeper and deeper, but with her little girl, who remained unaltered by this world for so long, who refused to ever accept its broken rules and ugly wants, Alicent did try her very best and of course it wasn’t enough… and now all she has left is her one gentle son molded in her image that she’ll never get to know

You know it. You're no fool and yet you choose not to see it.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022–) Season 1, Episode 5 | Season 3, Episode 3

[stupendousnightinspo]

feels like Alicent left Rhaenyra alone for two days and a city has been burnt to the ground, the good influence counselor has been exiled, the pope is dead Thomas Becket style, the casualties are countless, the bad influence counselor is burning children, every ally is a hater, the secret prophecy was shouted at the general public, and their daughter jumped out of a window

[stupendousnightinspo]

you know that in a modern au Alicent would leave for a much deserved 2 days 1 night stay at a nature spa with no phone service and come back to a half burnt kitchen and Rhaenyra unshowered and sobbing because their cat won’t take her medication from her

at the end of the day helaena knows that her life will never truly belong to her whether rhaenyra or aegon sits the throne. hearing that aegon is returning might even have cemented her decisions to take her own life…like yeah he’s coming back and she’ll be queen again, but she’ll just be trading one prison for another, handed from a sister who abuses her to a husband/brother who abuses her. there’s no happy ending in the red keep, an “ugly” place, and she knows it. rest in peace my beautiful girl, you should have been raising chickens on a farm somewhere far away from that circle of hell.

idk maybe I’m just gay and delulu but I think there’s very little Alicent or Rhaenyra could do to stop their mutual orbiting. they’re going to crash into one another before they ever pull away

if Rhaenyra and Alicent open their windows in unison and if Rhaenyra and Alicent walk out of the door at the same time and if Rhaenyra and Alicent walk away together and if Rhaenyra and Alicent take one perfect step hand in hand and if Rhaenyra and Alicent are torn apart and if Rhaenyra and Alicent are held in separate windowless towers what are we gonna do
