I don't want the Long Suffering Wife trope ™ for The Greens any more. Don't want to catch even a whiff of it in season 2.
I need Helaena to respond and react to Aegon's antics with a biting sass that absolutely floors him. Need Alicent to not hold back her disdain for Viserys' treatment of her when he was alive. Need Johanna Lannister to show her teeth and out-boss when her turn comes to take House Lannister matters in her hands after Jason's death.
Am I saying I need the women to be girlbosses? Ew! Absolutely not. Just that the Greens women deserve to be shown having an identity outside of their complicated marriages and how their husbands treat them.
Enough with the victimization game on the Greens to make them look weak in comparison to the 'free, strong' Team Black women. Enough with 'the Greens women are stamped by the patriarchy for being Greens' propaganda. Just let married women be realistically women. *Sigh*

WHEN WOMEN RULED: LADIES OF THE AFTERMATH BY ARCHMAESTER ABELON
JOHANNA LANNISTER capably led the remnants of the shattered Lannister forces in the ongoing conflict with the Greyjoys raiding the coasts, which continued as essentially a localized war even though the Dance had formally ended.
SAMANTHA TARLY was so politically influential that she was considered the functional co-ruler of Oldtown.
SHARIS FOOTLY ruled and rebuilt the devastated town as regent for her son, who was born after the death of her husband.
ALYS RIVERS was the former lover of Prince Aemond Targaryen and was seen to be pregnant in his presence. She later presented a young boy she claimed to be his posthumous son. As Harrenhal was at the heart of the devastated riverlands, Alys gathered to her a growing following of broken men until she established a small bandit-kingdom around the burnt-out castle.
SABITHA FREY went on to organize Widow Fairs for the hundreds of commoner women left widowed by the war, hoping to match them with the over a thousand men from the Stark army who had stayed in the south rather than overburden the North during the harsh winter. Her rule was stable enough by 134 AC that she was able to contribute six hundred soldiers to the royal host sent to end the succession war in the Vale of Arryn.
LADY JEYNE ARRYN, who ruled the Vale of Arryn in her own right since before the war began, and served as as member of the council of seven regents appointed for King Aegon III, from its inception in 131 AC until she died from an illness in 134 AC.
ELENDA BARATHEON served as regent for her son Royce Baratheon, who was born one week after his father died.
PRINCESS ALIANDRA MARTELL, who succeeded her father Qoren at the age of seventeen as the ruler of Dorne in the years following the war.

THE THREE WIDOWS
Artwork by Tomasz Jedruszek
The first of these was Johanna Lannister, the widowed Lady of Casterly Rock, who with her father, Lord Roland Westerling, now ruled the westerlands. Lord Corlys’s ravens, offering pardons and terms, had flown widely before Lord Cregan arrived, and Lady Johanna had responded by accepting all those terms, asking only that the Iron Throne command Lord Greyjoy to abandon his reaving of her lands, returning Fair Isle to its rightful lords and freeing all the noble women that had been taken as salt wives. She also swore to turn over the portion of the royal treasury that had been dispatched to Casterly Rock at the outset of the war, though required that Ser Tyland Lannister be pardoned as well.
The second widow was Lady Elenda, wife of the late Lord Borros Baratheon. She now ruled in the name of her infant son, Royce, who had been born six days after his father’s death at the Battle of the Kingsroad. She was quick to pledge the fealty of Storm’s End, offering up three of her daughters to serve as hostages. Escorted by Ser Willis Fell of the Kingsguard, the girls would be accompanied to King’s Landing by Princess Jaehaera.
The last widow was the beautiful, fiery Lady Samantha Hightower, widow of Lord Ormund Hightower and the daughter of Lord Donald Tarly and Lady Jeyne Rowan, whose own families had risen in support of Rhaenyra. She had been his second wife and was of an age with Lord Ormund’s children. The death of her husband at the second Battle of Tumbleton could have left her in a precarious position, but the new lord—the fifteen-year-old Lyonel—was smitten with his own stepmother, who was only two years his senior.

Okay, I know that many people see the similarities between House of the Dragon and the Borgias, particularly between Daemon x Rhaenyra and Cesare x Lucrezia ships, but I have to admit one thing…
When I looked at Holliday Grainger as Lucrezia Borgia, I immediately thought that this is how I imagine Cerelle Lannister, the daughter of lord Jason Lannister and Johanna Westerling. Like, look at her:
Does this not scream *Lannister pride* to you? Especially in *Lannister* red?
