I don’t think it’s talked about enough how tragic it is that Alicent kept that page.

“What are you doing?”

“So you remember.”

She did more than just remember. She kept that page, not one year, not two. Ten whole years. She is haunted by the memory of their childhood, their friendship - something that was cruelly taken away from them by their fathers.

And then it’s taken away again. Used by Otto to manipulate Rhaenyra. Using their love, their memories, and tainting it once more for his own gain.

“Queen Alicent has not forgotten the love you once had for each other.”

The love they still and will always have for each other. The love that will haunt them both until the day they die.

when you are young they assume you know nothing, but I knew you.

Missing these two idiots, they're so in love and blind to it that it's actually ridiculous

i love shipping rhaenyra and alicent as much as the next person, especially when they seem to be non-explicitly canon now, but god, there’s something so tragic about the best friends angle of their relationship. they meet when they’re around seven years old. they’re the only young girls at court. they spend their childhood together. they are each other’s family, raised like sisters in some ways because alicent has only ever had brothers and she had to leave them behind to come to king’s landing, and rhaenyra’s siblings are all dead. they go through those awkward preteen years at the same time. they do each other’s hair and trade dresses and everyone knows you’ll never see one without the other. when they stopped being friends so abruptly, it probably felt to both of them like severing a limb. alicent has her first baby and rhaenyra avoids her and tries not to think about how they were supposed to be aunties to each other’s kids. rhaenyra loses her virginity and alicent feels a sting of betrayal that she wasn’t the first to hear about, that rhaenyra didn’t climb into her bed after and whisper it to her like they used to share all their secrets. they know each other better than anyone else in the world and rhaenyra sees how alicent winces ever so slightly when viserys touches her and just immediately knows she’s uncomfortable even though no one else in the room would ever think so because alicent has been raised to be a people pleaser. alicent sees through rhaenyra’s rebelliousness and rage throughout the rest of their teen years after they stop being friends and knows that she’s just hiding the deep hurt underneath. they never really get used to not sharing every detail of their lives with each other. once laena gets a little older and isn’t the “baby cousin” anymore, she becomes rhaenyra’s new best friend, and she’s funnier and bolder and wants to go dragon riding and rhaenyra loves her so much but laena isn’t alicent, she isn’t the girl that rhaenyra spent almost every day of her childhood with, the girl that a part of her will always know like the back of her hand. and alicent never has another friend again.
