Laenor: We can't manipulate, manwhore, or mansplain our way out of this one

Daemon: Manslaughter it is then

Rhaenyra spotting the white stag and sparing its life; Viserys killing a false stag to fulfill the expectations of his lords.

Rhaenyra stabbing the boar to death with the ferocity of a dragon ; Viserys struggling to kill a stag with the support of an entire posse.

Rhaenyra proving herself a Queen worthy of the Seven Kingdoms and being utterly ignored ; Viserys being lauded and praised despite being an utter embarrassment.

I have so many FEELINGS.

You told me it was our duty to hold the realm united against a common foe. By naming me heir, you divided the realm.

I have spent a lifetime defending you…but your heart is even blacker than I thought.

Alicent literally admitting to Rhaenys that she would’ve been a better ruler than viserys !! That viserys would’ve been better as a nobleman, that Rhaenys was better fit and being passed off because she was a woman was mistake, only to THEN ASK rhaenys to do the same thing to Rhaenyra. Like alicent must know that Rhaenyra is better fit than aegon, the rapist who doesn’t even want the crown, but despite that alicent feels compelled to unseat the true queen for a man. It’s such a great depiction of how the patriarchy works because until Rhaenys points out that alicent could be on the throne, alicent only ever thought of her position as one to guide the men who hold power over her to peace. Alicent is such a victim to the brainwashing of Otto and the society around her, but god does that not justify how her actions affect the women around her
