http://leechcraft.tumblr.com/post/108482336906/eunnieboo-so-a-few-days-ago-i-sat-down-for
so a few days ago i sat down for dinner and my mom handed me the camera with a strange look on her face. all she said was âyou need to see thisâ and i was like ?? okay
but then
that is my dad with a pigeon on his head.
SO OF COURSE MY REACTION WAS JUST âWHAT?! HOW??? HOWâ...
me: i want to see the the tv show about the conquest for the plot
the plot:
art credit: @chillyravenart
And she had them! She was just a daughter of a second son. What would she have as a dowager queen at Rhaenyraâs court, knowing that they despise each other and Rhaenyra probably wonât respect the Widowâs Law (as we saw with Vaemon Velaryon, she wasnât the nicest person either)? Nothing, even if - and itâs a big IF - Rhaenyra really wanted to give her siblings high positions at her court (and letâs be real: she probably didnât). Alicent fight for her survival and position as well, as any other woman would do in her shoes. You think Laena as a queen wouldnât fight for her potentional sonâs rights to the Iron Throne? Or, I donât know, Jeyne Arryn or any other noble lady Viserys would marry after Aemma?
The truth is, Alicent wasnât a wicked villain from the very start. She had good relationship with Rhaenyra first but it was destroyed after Aegon and Aemondâs births - and probably Alicent wasnât the only force here, because it was in her best interest to keep Rhaenyra happy, so she would be easier to manipulate. There were many opponents of Otto at court and they probably werenât afraid to tell a growing princess that her stepmother will try to usurp her position as an heir because it was in their best interest to pit Rhaenyra and Alicent against each other. Alicent even suggested at first to marry Rhaenyra to Aegon and letâs be real: with that age difference, it would be Rhaenyra who would be the real ruler then.
Alicent always had reasonable motives. She wasnât a saint, but she wasnât a hag either. Sheâs very humane character hidden behind deeply misoginistic narration of FaB. Itâs not only maesters, itâs also that GRRM himself visibly DOESNâT LIKE Greens and is not interested in making them nuanced in any way. So it was always easy for readers to frame Alicent as a wicked stepmother with fairy tale-villainâs mindset, against Rhaenyra who isnât a girlboss feminist icon either. They believe every bad word about Alicent in FaB so easily but suddenly itâs radio silence if you ask them whether they believe that Rhaenyra sent Alicent AND Helaena to brothel so they will be r*ped until they get pregnant. And it also comes from Mushroomâs stories and Mushroom was 100% pro-Rhaenyra, so? This apparently is not true but EVERYTHING BAD that is said about Alicent is? Because what? Because it fits your narration?
my point about alicent and the fandom was the she canât win, couldnât win, and never will win. itâs not possibleâŠ
some people want her to be one dimensional evil hag that they can hate. some people want her to be complex villain they can hate. some people hate her because she isnât like from the books - some (same people) people hated her in the books. some people want her to be another cersei, so they can hate her. some people say that cersei was awesome and alicent can never be her and so they hate her. some people hate her now more because she will in the future be mean to rhaenyra. some people hate her now because she isnât mean enough. some people think that she is misogynistic witch in the books because she is pro patriarchy. some people think her portrayal as being without agenda is misogynistic. some people thinks she has agenda from the beginningâŠ
alicent is meant to be rhaenyraâs opposite in the story. clearly, they try to make her more sympathetic to the viewer, so that her change in attitude hits harder and the already obvious patriarchy is more visible and prevalent. if you donât vibe with that, thatâs cool.
like iâm sorry, if you hate this character you would hate her no matter what. you hate her now because she is too nice and you will hate her when olivia cooke plays her and sheâll try to stab rhaenyra. it. doesnât. matter.
alicent hightower canât win and wonât win.
