I wish HOTD explored Rhaenyra’s story with motherhood more. Her reaction to being pregnant with Jace, giving birth and actually holding Jace for the first time. She didn’t seem to want children at first, which makes sense, so seeing how she reacts to everything would of been nice to see.

i love how sympathetic the show is making all sides here. i felt so horrible for criston: he is being so dumb in his grand proposal to rhaenyra, but it’s so easy to see how you’d get there when you are lost in the sauce of westerosi concepts of honor; it is genuinely heartbreaking when he says all he has is his cloak and he’s dishonored it - and a really brutal reminder of the disparities in class position that led to this moment. and yet i also understand exactly where rhaenyra is coming from, and why she is so blindsided by how her plan to have the kind of sexual freedom that daemon can enjoy falls through, and the carelessness with others feelings she has learned from daemon, from viserys, from everything about her position as a targaryen. and i absolutely totally understand why rhaenyra lied to alicent - what choice did she have, faced with alicent’s clear revulsion? but i also can see exactly why alicent feels so monumentally betrayed by it. it’s good stuff

Rhaenyra’s red and black dress

Show!Rhaenyra's red and black dress is one of the stronger designs from the show. There's good reason why it's the outfit most people are cosplaying with. So I wanted to reference it, but use the world-building/costume design rules I've been working with for Rhaenyra so far. Including a paired down Byzantine crown for 'everyday' wear.

Also I swear to you I thought this dress was red and blue. I had to go back and fix this one kind of convinced it was red and blue. It wasn’t until I started seeing better closeups of the dress that I realized the lighting affected it so much. 😅

The concept of alicent kneeling in her own fathers blood swearing allegiance to rhaenyra…

[femmealicent]

ultimately, alicent and rhaenyra are two sides of the same coin, mirrors, inverted images. they represent two different ways to approach the role of a woman while existing within westeros’s patriarchal feudalistic system; alicent conforms to the role a woman is expected to take, and rhaenyra tries to inhabit the position of a man. regardless, they remain a part of the system and thus can never truly liberate themselves from it.

[la-groseille]

Mother’s heart severely aching and worrying about the lives of her children told Alicent to come to the bay. And it was right — she saw her sons returning home from the battlefield
