GUYS LOOK I'M A GENIUS

[rahwle]

going to be sexist but saying exactly what i see:

a woman watching hotd: i don't like your side, discussions with different position, convinced pro black/pro green

a man watching hotd: death wishes for children, insulting women for their gender, jokes about rape, humiliation for appearance (especially female characters)

don't want to blame all men, but seeing world misogyny is beyond human strength

I do not get why people call Aemond ‘pressed’ or ‘bitter’ when he calls the strong boys ‘strong’ in the dinner scene. His insult is a reaction to Luke intentionally laughing at the pig in front of Aemond - a call back to the time Aegon and the strong boys bullied and humiliated him. Luke was giggling, acting as if all was well, as if he didn’t take Aemond’s eye out. His lack of remorse probably triggered Aemond - he had to sit/dine with the person who took his eye, only to find that person laughing at him. Yall keep forgetting that Luke wasn’t punished or held accountable for maiming Aemond, and instead it was Aemond who was ‘sharply questioned’ and even threatened by Viserys, his freaking father. He could’ve resented Luke for that and even hated him. He is rightfully triggered after seeing the person who cut his eye in a 4v1 fight, laughing and mocking him. This boy literally stared into Aemond’s eye and preceded to laugh/scoff. Homeboy never showed remorse, which is no surprise considering he was never properly held accountable. That’s what happens when people aren’t held accountable. They turn smug, mock the people they’ve hurt and even feel as if they have done nothing wrong. 

It was Aemond who had to live with one eye, not Luke. It was Aemond who had to watch his mother beg his father to get justice for their son. It was Aemond who worked twice as hard in his training. What has Luke been doing? Resting comfortably in his mother’s lap? Blissfully ignoring what he did? So excuse me because Aemond has every right to be pissed, triggered, because he has lived with the trauma of everything and because the preparators never apologized or even showed remorse for maiming him.

“Team Black” or “Team Green?” bitch I’m on “team fuck everyone, the dragons deserved better then all these fools” and no amount of pretty boys and girls will sway me on this. Humanity can choke so the dragons can rule.

Alicent based on this post about Modest!Alicent by @dirtytransmasc

Details under the cut

-I was obsessed with the veiled pieces that OP mentioned and I loved the image of her in gold veils that looked like she was dripping in gold.

- The veils are based on Catholic veils (specifically and 4), medieval head coverings like ones worn in Ophelia 2018 and wimples (2 and 6), Star Wars (5), and the Tudor period (7). Most of them are sheer because one, I couldn’t figure out how to wrap them around her head without her looking like a blob of color and when it did look okay she looked like she was wearing a hijab and it felt too appropriative to draw on Alicent. This is also why her hair is visible in most of them but in practice she would cover them with thicker fabric.

- Alicent wears long billowing sleeves with heavy skirts. OP said that Alicent would wear dresses that conceal her figure which I tried to maintain but some have a shapelier silhouette as it looked better with my art style. I hope one day I will be able to draw modest clothing without making someone look like a blob but I’m not there yet.

- Dress 1 is inspired by the series Isabel 2011, which from what I’ve seen has some nice costumes. It also gave me a good base for something historical and modest but still luxurious.

- The second is based on Lady Macbeth and Ophelia in the Ophelia movie. I debated on adding braids but I think Alicent would’ve worn them. They’re neat, mature, and somewhat conservative hairstyle while also giving her an opportunity to wear more accessories which is expected of her as a queen. I know OP said modest but irl royalty had to wear extravagant clothes to prove their status and with the pressure of civil war and being the second wife, Alicent would certainly wear luxurious jewelry while staying simple compared to the rest of the Targaryens. The beads are Targ inspired as she would also need to embrace Valeryian styles to stay in Viserys’s favor.

- This side view of Alicent has the deepest neckline because that is what worked best for a side view. I also noticed Catholic veils tended to have patterns so I added simple gold flowers. The dress is medieval based.

- What sparked my artistic interest was OP’s descriptions of the veils so I had to do a dedicated work with a veil in the spotlight. In the original post, it was mentioned that Alicent would wear shawls with tapestry like designs. I couldn’t think of anything that would look good with fabric folds and creases but on a lace veil? I could definitely do that. Tbh it’s not my favorite design (Helaena’s was my favorite) but I think it represents Alicent’s loyalties pretty well. I’m personally pleased with how the dragons and tower came out.

- I don’t care about Star Wars but some of Padme’s outfits have screamed Alicent to me since the beginning. The golden lace veil with pearls is the centerpiece so her dress is much more toned down.

- This is again based on Ophelia’s costuming and on OP saying Alicent appears to be dripping in gold wearing golden veils. I added jewelry shaped like the Hightower sigil with green gems decorating it.

- OP mentioned shawls with tassels and patterns so I had to add them onto the last dress. Well, I had fur instead of tassels but the statement still stands. I also tried to make the veil based on Spanish mantillas but it never turned out correct so I kept it simple. The dress is a mix of Alexander McQueen Fall 2011 and the Tudors era.

uwu but I love this shade the most lmao

Here's a quick moodboard...

[miloisthebestdog]

why do people act like Rhaenyra is a saint?

like did y’all not see her literally lying to the king at Driftmark saying that HER sons were the ones who were attacked when they were the ones who attacked Aemond first? Like that is a blatant lie, and let’s not even talk about the “sharply questioned” part. Why people defend her is beyond me. Anyways, if I were Alicent and my son literally lost his eye l, I would do worse than what she did.

don’t bother responding to this if you’re going to defend Rhaenyra, nothing you say will make her blatantly lying about the attack and asking to torture her brother will EVER make it ok. I justifiably hate her and you can’t change that 👍

[oneeyedaemond]

The amount of pro Viserys posts I see still boggles the mind. "Oh he might be an absentee father for the green kids but at least he loves Rhaenyra and supports her claim!!!"

So how exactly did he prepare her for that role? Why didn't he put the effort to at least advise Rhaenyra to connect with her half-siblings, knowing full well there will be supporters for Aegon?

He only cares for Rhaenyra because he sees a reflection of Aemma, his wife, in Rhaenyra. In this world, the wife is dutiful to the King and will obviously support him whether he is right or wrong, generally speaking.

He didn't give a shit about her until he realized his brother was absolutely brutal with any position of power given to him, and therefore a threat to himself. So, he gives that position to Rhaenyra instead, because she is too young to challenge his ego.

I could say a lot more but naming Rhaenyra as heir has a lot more to do with good king Viserys defending his ego than actual love for his daughter.
