Otto manages in some way to ''delude'' himself into thinking that Alicent would have wanted to marry her best friends's father ,become his queen and have his (male) heirs ,all of it while shes an anxious teenage girl who suffers from dermatillomania .Which is weird because Alicent clearly looks uncomfortable as he asks her to see Viserys .Actually ,the second time we see her asking her if she will see him she looks angry

In this scene Otto also asks her why she's biting her nails in such an obsessive way ,and he outright says that he doesnt understand why she is doing it ,after all why would she do it if she is the most comely lady of the realm?.

Otto doesnt realize that Alicent is anxious not only because she is like that by nature ,but because he's putting her in a difficult position ,not caring about her desires at all .And he thinks ,in a pretty sexist way ,that her being the most comely lady of the realm is a enough reason to make her stop .And what is worse is that when he said that he didnt do it out of malice ,he genuinely thought it that way with no intention of harm.He was probably encouraging her to stop of her own good.

That doesnt mean he is above weaponinzing things against Alicent ,such as her sexuality and her mother's memory .And ,horrific enough ,these two things go hand in hand i the first scene we see them alone

Her sexuality is a weapon for him because Otto can strictly control it and he is the one who will decide who she can share said sexuality with .Her mother's memory is a weapon because Alicent's mother was very dear to her .He straight up tells her to wear one of her mother's dressed ,one that is very bold for that matter.

Otto's also uses her mother's memory again in ep 9 (''you look so much like your mother in certain lights''),as he is desperately trying to get back into her good graces once its clear she is the one in charge between the two.She doesnt give in this time.

A thing about Otto and Alicent's dynamic is that ,not only he genuinely believes that he is doing something good for her ,there is a specific reason on why he completely misunderstands Alicent.

And i think the line ''Our heart are one'' explains it perfectly.

Otto cant see Alicent outside her daughterhood ,he cant understand that she has a mind of her own .Thats why he gets so baffled when she speaks her mind and her plans do not align with his (ep 3 ,ep 4 ,ep 5 ,ep9).And (dont you dare think im blaming her im explaining his pov)Alicent always strives to be dutiful and sacrificial at all costs ,so obviously she obeys her dad (the man who has a lot of power over her in a fantasy medieval setting).And she also loves him and doesnt wanna disappoint him !.And so Otto gets used to the fact that ,even as a 35 adult woman with lots of experiences ,she will always obey him and their plans and ideas will always align .

Alicent is essentially a character who lost her sense of personhood because as a teenager she is put in situations where she is forced to serve and to always take care of others ,who take advantage of her dutiful persona ,and she never actually gets used to the idea that her feelings and desires matter .

And Otto is the first one who takes advantage of that ,he is the one who used her ''a piece to move across the board''.And that shapes her .

Now that doesnt mean he doesnt care for her ,he does love her in his own way.

But people have already explained why he actually loves her .What im trying to say is that Otto's failing to see(not even understand but see) Alicent shapes her and her dynamic ,and ,in the consequence ,the story.

Alicent: Say your piece. Otto: Now, what piece is that? Alicent: I've conducted myself in a manner... unbefitting my station. Or any other. I lost composure, assaulted the Princess. Already the word is spreading, the gossip speculating that I've gone mad. Otto: All true. Alicent: I disgraced myself. And ensured my husband's favor will forever rest on her. Otto: And yet... I've never seen that side of you, my daughter. I even doubted its existence. Alicent: It was an ugly thing. I regret it. Otto: We play an ugly game. And now, for the first time, I see that you have the determination to win it. Alicent: Rhaenyra... Otto: You see her for what she is. What the King's stubbornness has wrought. Alicent: What will he say to me? Otto: He'll forgive you. What else can he do? Now go to him, be penitent, plead the injury to your son. Keep a grip on your passions. And I promise you, in time, you and I together will prevail. What that rogue Aemond has done in winning Vhagar to our side. The boy was right. It's worth a thousand times the price he paid.

HotD; Season 1, Episode 7; “Driftmark”

I haven’t watched all of HoTD because I don’t have HBO and I’m scared of getting another virus from sketchy websites. Most of my watching is through tumblr gifs. 😂 I’ve become a Daemyra shipper (“I need you, Uncle” TOOK ME OUT), I definitely like Helaemond, but the most surprising thing I like is… and I blame my own daddy issues for this… is Alicent and Otto. 😂

I haven't talked about Alicent/Otto much, but I'm total trash for these two. I feel like their scenes are really charged, and there's a very special energy between them that I think is easily interpreted (if one wants to) as incestuous vibe-y (especially when he's comparing her to her mother). Alicent's obedience understandably morphs into resentment, and yet I think she still wants him at her side. You see him growing to respect her more and more. And when episode 9 turns into a struggle between them, I think the end result is closer to a partnership than anything they've had prior to that.

I don't know what's coming. I can see the relationship deteriorating just because that's the type of show it is and they're both characters who don't seem like they're in the mood to compromise just for the sake of getting along. BUT imagine what we could have. Otto's political savvy and sneakiness complemented by Alicent's ability to make friends and inspire loyalty, and unstoppable father/daughter power couple.

Petition for all team Black and team Green fans to not be at each other's throats this upcoming season, and instead, we all just root for our favorite war criminals in peace? And normalize liking characters from each team and just have a preference on teams? Because that sounds like a fun time to me, thank you 🫶

Ah, yes. Team Green. Featuring a repressed lesbian still reeling from the fallout of her complicated situationship. An evil grandfather who eventually will become jobless. A guard who doubles as a stepfather and a hit man. An alcoholic. A doomed prophetess. An overpowered anime villain and his geriatric nuclear warhead. And a fourth child who may or may not exist.

#and people have the audacity to ask me WHY I’m in this camp #like just LOOK at the material #they’re all so doomed and miserable and pathetic like how could I NOT obsess about them #hotd #house of the dragon #team green #alicent hightower #otto hightower #criston cole #aegon ii targaryen #helaena targaryen #aemond targaryen #vhagar #daeron targaryen #my own #text
