Everyday i thank god for Hansry and all the glorious artist that it has collected ๐๐๐๐
๐ซ Just to keep you out of danger
dying on Easter when youโre the Pope after telling JD Vance to go fuck himself, in a year where thereโs a fandom for a movie about a Conclave, is pure aura farming honestly
Yup, literally the first thing i thought was: "well how will these freaks try to exploit this?"
People might ignore it but henry is as much of a menace. He is just a different type of feral.
The worst part is that they think that by doing this it will make her a "deeper character". Sorry no, it does the opposite, it takes away from her agency, from the trauma she expirienced and how she had to adapt to that kind of society and become an enforcer of said system. Now it's just "good" or "bad".
"History will paint you a villain"
Fourth wall breaking to make us believe what they're putting in Rhaenyra's mouth.
Alicent went to Rhaenyra's wedding wearing the colors her House use for war, which created the Green and Black teams. She knew what she was doing.
Alicent was the only one who actively hated Rhaenyra's children to be bastards. Corlys and Rhaenys didn't really care, Rhaenyra's own husband didn't care, Viserys was totally happily in denial. Cole hated it, but his opinion doesn't matter.
Alicent made it a big deal, raised Aegon to be scared of Rhaenyra when he had no true animosity towards his sister before. And telling her son to spare Rhaenyra after years of telling him he was a challenge for her and would die if she becomes queen, was silly.
She helped put Aegon on the throne, and when learnt she was wrong to do so, started to show disdain for him that led Aegon to take his dragon to battle and get burnt.
Then, at his weakest state, she accepted Rhaenyra's deal that includes the murder of her son. The very son who did not want to be king in the first place. Just so she could run away with Helaena and her daughter. She is literally fleeing what she helped causing. She could protect Helaena and Jaehaera and stay in KL to be by her sons' sides and accepts the same sentence she put on them. But no, she still wants a way out of this mess.
So, the writers telling us, through Rhaenyra of all people, "Alicent is a only a victim of patriarchy and will be paint as a villain" is so stupid. Yes, she is a victim. But it doesn't justify all she did. In season two, she marvels at how messed up her boys are, when all their life they heard her complain about Rhaenyra and her bastard children, how Aemond lost an eye and how Lucaerys should have lost his too, that Rhaenyra will murder Aegon in cold blood when she becomes queen (before he usurped her).
So, yes, she is a villain and history will rightfully paint her as such. That doesn't make her a bad character, nor does it mean all victims become villains in turn; Rhaenys is a victim of patriarchy too, Rhaenyra and her mum, the servant girl who Aegon sexually assaulted, all the women of the story are victims of that.

Also, not to be a downer but, that was it?
They said this was this season would be the end and would tie up everything, but then they put some sequel bait, jinx just sort of sacrifices herself and that's that (except don't really show IT). Piltover and zaun are ok with each other now because there was a war and now there's a zaunite in the council?. Jayce and viktor are gone (but not really). Viktor had his thing with magic and went from one side to the other, but the exploration of that was kinda lacking. Same with jayce, that segment should've been longer. And caitlyn joined the facist uprising, but we don't get that much fallout and exploration either, not even time for her to reflect on it.
It feels like there should've been at least 1 or 2 more seasons. Instead of cramming it and STILL put some bait at the end. Idk i just want for stories to have an ending and be their own thing. All in all it was fine, but far from what season 1 was.
Just liking what i see or care about ๐ (This account is dark and full of terrors)
