Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen -> A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 1.04 (Part 1)

[leupagus]

One of the things I find interesting about Carvel's acting choices wrt Baelor is how... hunched he is? When he comes riding in at the Trial and afterward, he's standing/riding with his back pretty straight, but in the two main scenes with him (and the ones where we just see him in the stands) he's pretty curved over, especially in this scene.

And that really spoke to me more about the level of fatigue and stress he's under than almost anything else. This is not a guy who enjoys being Heir to the Throne, who enjoys being the Hand of the King, and possibly even being a Targaryen. This is a guy who's been aged by expectation and responsibility, not energized by it; and I think it's really telling that he only really comes alive during the pre-trial scene where he's giving orders/advice for everyone (lol "be vigilant, don't die" OKAY BAELOR).

There are any number of reasons you can imagine as to why, but I am incredibly fascinated by the way Carvel shows that Baelor's been beaten down and only by doing what's right does he actually feel and act like the powerful warrior that he actually is.

A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS

1.04, Seven

[leupagus]

My theory of the ship is always gonna be that they matched each other's freak from day one, HOWEVER if you ever want to promote the "who fell first/who fell harder" I'd say that Baelor fell first at this exact moment because what do you MEAN this giant hedge knight who your littlest nephew adopted out of a literal ditch just shitkicked your least favorite nephew and is just standing there in your hotel room admitting it with neither shame nor pride, merely a tired resignation that his fate is sealed by your insane family. I bet Baelor was ready to offer to be his champion right here.
