“you have no idea of the sacrifices that were made to put you on the throne”

HITS SO DIFFERENT

in my opinion, she isn’t talking about what aemond has done, or the conspiracy of otto

she is talking about her sacrifices she made to ensure aegon’s entire existence

i think alicents reaction to rhaenys disrupting the coronation is soooooo indicative of her relationships with each of her kids bc like. she tells criston to defend helaena, who she thinks of as the most fragile and in need of protection (ahem she sees her younger self in helaena ahem), but doesn’t do it herself, bc i think there is a fundamental distance between them, since alicent loves her daughter but doesn’t understand her. aemond doesn’t get a mention, because he has always been the child she sees the most as an adult, her equal she believes on some level can take care of himself. and aegon. she stands in front of aegon. which is suchhhhh a significant thing because. it will not do anything. alicents body won’t protect aegon if meleys decides to burn them, it will just kill them both. alicents life is aegons life, she was married to viserys for him, she became queen for him, everything she did from when she was a teenager was for him. and how beautiful and tragic and horrible that she just decides in this moment that if aegon dies she will die too.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO PAYWALL YOUR RESPONSE RIGHT NOW?????

[wishtherebestars]

i assume when they made their company they looked at the risk factors, and when you notice patreon and advertising, and even merch, doesnt bring in as much money as it used to, you dont hire people you cannot pay.

so instead if maybe scaling down production—like focussing on things that does get viewed or received well, or maybe spend less on things they can do without so they can keep paying their employees so they dont need to be laid off, a streaming site is created putting everything behind a paywall and some already existing content might disappear as well and can only be accessed for 6 usd a month, which no doesnt sound like much to someone

but their audience demographic is what late teens early 30s, largely college students who binge the content who already dont have a steady income, who might have to pay top dollar for their own housing, for their food because fuck me everything is expensive and it keeps getting worse.

and 6 usd may not seem much, but to some its not usd to some its euro or pound and each month it can flux from high to low.

which might also be a reason why patreon didnt do well—that and lack of promotion i feel— but if people werent willing to pay for patreon which expert told them that this would be a better financial choice to help their income for everyone at their company.

why should it be the audience responsibility to provide an income? yes its been free for decade and most probably have taken that for granted, but none of the audience forced them to create this company, to force them to hire employees or force them to make tv quality content most if not all remembered text on a screen and a voice over

its their company, and their decisions regarding it. i do feel bad for the employees because they are the ones to suffer when ceos make bad decisions but it should not be the audience responsibility to help them fix that

well that was fast, but i feel like i’m being guilt tripped for feeling disappointed—i might be the only one but still— and now they changed it so it will release first on their platform and a month later in youtube for free

the mention of their employees is what i find most guilt tripping like i was the one to hire them and take away their pay even though this could have all been avoided if they did a poll or asked an expert. i feel like downsizing could have helped as well

[wishtherebestars]

i didnt say it is, i said thats what it FEELS like to ME. its their responsibility as it was when they started hiring people. i suppose i am used more to people being laid off or scale down production when business doesnt do well so the company can invest that money to built itself up again

i cannot be a victim here because nothing of value is taken from me nor do i give a rats ass honestly what they do

they didnt want to scale down productions and downsize the number of employees, thats fine but thats THEIR decision and the consequences will be on them, should not be on the audience which felt TO ME like it was

perhaps its how i translate english and it didnt arrive well but thats my opinion and last i checked i was granted that still

well that was fast, but i feel like i’m being guilt tripped for feeling disappointed—i might be the only one but still— and now they changed it so it will release first on their platform and a month later in youtube for free

“Rhaenyra, my only child”

I will never understand why or how people are so touched and think that this line is so sweet…

Aemma

This old creep of a man, married a woman and forced her to have as many children as she could. She had Rhaenyra who was born healthy, but due to her not being born a boy, Viserys pushed Aemma to have 5 more babies.

One who died in the cradle, two stillbirths and two miscarriages.

He was so sure that he wanted a second child, a boy, that he was willing to sacrifice his wife for him. Yet they both died.

Alicent

He then went on to marry another young truly innocent girl. Don’t even think about coming at me with the whole false accusation “Alicent seduced him” because you sound like a predator making excuses to blame a child for an adults actions.

He forced her to have 4 more children, 3 of which were boys… yet he never cared nor paid attention to any of them whilst growing up. This left Alicent to raise her children single-handedly.

“Rhaenyra… my ONLY child”

These two woman, both victims of Viserys’ carelessness, had several children, and at the end of it all, only Rhaenyra, 1 out of 10 children, was labeled as his child.

This isn’t disrespectful to just Aegon, Aemond, Helaena and Daeron. It’s disrespectful to the 5 dead children he had with Aemma, Aemma herself, and Alicent.

Don’t have more than one child if your not capable of loving more than one. Even better: don’t force two woman to carry your children if your only going to love one…
