Aegon II is the funniest ASOIAF character of all time. Born to be an incredibly unsuccessful twitch streamer who hangs around high school football games three years after he graduated and drives his grandmas Nissan Altima from 2003 with empty cans of Miller Lite jostling around in the back seat. Forced to be isekai’d into a high stakes pseudomedieval political drama where everyone’s playing 4D chess where he is responsible for a flying WMD. Unparalleled

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

House of the Dragon is skeetering on the edge of a really fascinating conversation in its portrayal of Alicent and Rhaenyra — the promises of feudalism to women.

On the surface, Rhaenyra looks a bit like a feminist hero. She is a woman, demanding and asserting power in a patriarchal world that would deny her the crown on account of her gender. But if you look any deeper, it quickly becomes apparent Rhaenyra is not advocating for any real change. She is not reflecting any further on the oppressive nature of feudalism beyond how it affects her. She does not argue that succession changes should be widespread or shows no concern with the general treatment of women in the Seven Kingdoms, even the women directly before her, such as Rhaenys and Alicent.

The very nature of Rhaenyra’s “birthright” cannot be disentangled from the patriarchal system she supposedly is challenging. It assumes that the men who used force and subjugation were legitimate in claiming power. For Rhaenyra to be queen, it necessitates the belief that the passing over of Rhaenys was valid, and Viserys had the absolute authority to name his own heir, expanding the power imbalance between the king and his subjects.

And then we have Alicent Hightower, the embodiment of what a feudal noblewoman should be. Feudalism denies women direct access to power and, in exchange, promises them that if they are loyal and obedient, they will be given respect, dignity, and security. Their husbands will be their protectors. They are promised a safe, predictable transfer of power from their husband to their eldest son, ensuring them a place with the new generation.

Alicent does everything her society tells her she must, but she is denied the benefits. Her husband largely ignores her and her children. He is meant to be their protector, but when her son suffers a horrific injury, Viserys shows no concern, no interest in accountability. She is not even assured the one promise of security any other queen would be granted—namely, that her eldest son become king.

For Rhaenyra to gain direct access to the patriarchal, oppressive power held by feudalism, she has to rip away the security feudalism promises to Alicent. It’s a horrible, awful system, and goes to show how difficult changing things truly is in any meaningful sense.

Something I don’t see anybody talking about is how Susie didn’t start applying pressure until her dad outright threatened Edward’s life.

It’s subtle, but in the episode 5 scene where she visits daddy glass in jail, she’s the one to say that Edward wants out and that they should start thinking about solution’s until he point blank tells her ‘no one walks away’ and ‘I’ll chop his head off.’

I only realised this on my second rewatch. On my first two watches, I always thought it was strange how much she pushed for Edward to stay in the business and get more involved. Like, I get it girly but it’s getting desperate.

But then I realised she is desperate, because she’s trying to save his life.

AND she was actually quite nice about it when you think of her circumstances. Yes, she was sneaky but she still managed to give him choice and agency, and giving him a lot more of her trust than he was probably entitied to.

The first two episodes of the gentlemen establishes her (mostly through the jethro reveal) as this give no fuck stone cold killer girl boss, and she is that. But she’s also protective and caring and impulsive and trying her very best to be taken seriously in her male-dominated world.

Anyways I love my girlboss who also sometimes girlfails but it’s okay because she girlpicks herself up everytime

#it kind of broke my heart how her trust is repaid with Edward stabbing her in the back #i completely understand his circumstances and that he initially wanted out #but it was absolutely naive on his part to think that a problem like Jethro was going to be let go #his death was to protect him and Freddy #I love this show #I hope they don’t end up hating each other in season 2 because I just know this will fester #the gentlemen #susie glass

"Cersei turned on him in green-eyed fury. 'Are you utterly witless? Did you read what he says? The boy Joffrey, he calls him. And he dares to accuse me of incest, adultery, and treason?'

Only because you're guilty. It was astonishing to see how angry Cersei could wax over accusations she knew perfectly well to be true. If we lose the war, she ought to take up mummery, she has a gift for it" (Tyrion and Cersei, discussing Stannis Baratheon's letter, p. 229, A Clash of Kings).

I've been joking that I'm looking forward to Criston's homicidal grandpa arc, but seriously, this moment is going to make me go insane. We're actually going to see Criston spend time with all three four of his children this season. But this moment is gonna be incredible. Because he's rushing for Aegon and Aemond, most likely having just watched them fall from the sky, their dragons entangled with Meleys. He probably thinks he's about to find nothing left, that they're both dead and it will be his fault because this was his plan, his idea.

Those are his children. He knew Aegon and Helaena from when they were babies, odds are he was right outside of Alicent's chambers when Aemond and Daeron were born. He likely heard Aemond and Daeron's first cries of life, probably walked with Alicent when she had to present them to Viserys hours later.

I swear to God, if that leak about Criston carrying Aegon is true, I will be passing away. 😭
