Cinder Sunday
It's a shame Grace Chasity is an evangelical Christian because the way she interacts with her faith truly does read as a Catholic teenager when they're taking their confirmation classes and feel the need to overcompensate or play up their faith to receive validation or be viewed as a good person because at that moment in time everyone in their life feels like they're constantly scrutinizing their every move or trying to drag them towards temptation, even when normally their own beliefs or actions do not naturally manifest in that way.
Shinobu is smart, like hella smart. She's also depressed so whatever happiness that comes her way and might hinder her, she'd make sure it's temporary. She wants revenge, she's going to get revenge. She's already thrown her life when she gulped down the last of the wisteria poison. But sometimes life is just tempting. On nights everything is going good, too good, she'd wonder if she could stay a little longer. She was human after all.
Impossible given their occupation but it's a thought she entertains when she's sure she's alone. When she's sure no one can convince her to reach out and make those thoughts her new reality.
i feel like i’m in the minority of the hotd fandom who doesn’t mind a lot of important plot points hinging on accidents/miscommunication, like luke’s death being an accident and alicent misunderstanding viserys’ last words. i love dramatic irony and i love greek and shakespearean tragedies. the characters are doomed from the start and the audience knows where the road is heading, but the characters misread the signs and walk straight towards their doom. like someone said on the true hellsite (twitter), everyone knows romeo and juliet, and they both die because of a misunderstanding.
alicent misunderstanding viserys is actually very much about their scene together in episode three, where he talks about how he always wanted to be a dreamer, and how he dreamed of a male heir wearing the conqueror’s crown. and we know what he means on his deathbed, but is it really so much of a reach that alicent hears what she hears? i don’t think it is. and it’s the deepest tragedy that this is what finally pushes her to one side of her internal conflict. alicent was finally starting to feel like herself again after rhaenyra’s speech and i think she did mean it when she said she’d make a good queen. i also think she doesn’t believe aegon will make a good king. but so much has happened between alicent and rhaenyra, and in the back of her mind she always fears for her children’s survival. so when viserys says what he says, her sense of duty tips the scales. and we know her decision will not save her children.
i mean it’s okay to like what you like and wishing alicent had been ambitious is fine but i’m just a sucker for tradedy

I have not shown off what Hazel looks like when she is angry/enraged
“Her fingers curled around the letter’s edges, knuckles turning white as she stared at the words. Noble sacrifice.
Oh yes, you dumped him into a pit of vipers—again.
Delia inhaled sharply and held the letter above the flames and watched how it caught on fire and slowly burned into ashes. She was still staring into the flames, even after the wind stopped howling and the wolves continued the never ending symphony of the night.
It was not the time for tears. Not that she would have any left.”
