rhaenyra is so fucking entitled.
asking alicent to leave her suicidal daughter to murder her son, but then saying that it doesn't matter because she'll keep watch of helaena. because that's so much better. she imprisoned helaena, separated her from her daughter, and then denied her any freedoms, which drove her to the point of self harm. and alicent is supposed to believe helaena will be safe. and she still asked alicent to murder her teenage son.
the way she treats ulf white and the dragonseeds is also despicable. these people have basically given their lives for her. they left their family and friends to aid her. but she refuses to legitimise them, because it would 'reflect badly on her'. really, it's because she had bastards, but they were special because they were her 'godly valyrian' sons. she also refuses to let ulf do anything, so he's just a servant to her.
she treats helaena like a glorified magic 8 ball. she knows that helaena is sensitive, but screams at her and grabs at her, because she refuses to confirm he supremacist fantasies.
when she takes fake daeron, she shows no sympathy whatsoever. to her knowledge, she has taken a child from his home, to be a captive, away from his family, his life threatened because he is the son of viserys. he is silent, because his words could kill him. instead of being understanding, rhaenyra forces him to speak by threatening him.
and this is a supposedly selfless and kind queen
