"Lady Rhaena would make a splendid queen."

One interesting thing I’ve observed is how alike the fates of Rhaena (Queen in the West and the East), Rhaenys (the Queen who never was) and Rhaenyra (the half-year Queen) are.
All three of these women were brought down by the cruel patriarchal system of Westeros.
But notice how adored and respected Rhaena and Rhaenys are by people in this fandom (as well as in Westeros history), compared to Rhaenyra.
Why?
Because Rhaena and Rhaenys sat back and never “dared” to do anything about the injustice they endured.
Rhaenyra did.
And for that, the maesters of the Citadel, who are not only upholders of the patriarchal system but also Hightower lickspittles, did not hesitate to attack her and spew lies about her. And most of these lies concerned her personal life.
Constant talk about her weight, even though the usurping king and his queen consort were both overweight from birth. Constant talk about her children’s parentage, even though there was never any actual proof of what her first three sons looked like and whether or not they inherited Baratheon and/or Arryn genes. Constant talk about how her husband was “unfaithful” (once again, without any proof).
As such, anything bad written about Rhaenyra Targaryen is hard to accept as fact.

Queen Rhaenys Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.
here is book Rhaenys, who became queen! i thought between the crown of Aegon and Jaehaerys for her, but eventually chose the book version of Aegons crown.
(i used eva green as reference, i think shes great for younger Rhaenys)

if i had a nickel for every time a bastard boy is devotedly loyal to arya stark and his memory of her, i would have two nickels.
that's not a lot, but it's funny it happened twice

it’s not that cersei lannister is actually smarter than alicent hightower (she isn’t) rather that cersei lannister is not burdened by such trivialities as ‘empathy’ or ‘self-awareness’ or ‘the reality of the situation’; the idea that she cannot do something just doesn’t occur to cersei, ever, every societal norm and moral code is a personal inconvenience to her
oh and she is actually for real insane
it all enables cersei to just do shit to a degree that other characters can only marvel at
