Unfriendly Reminder That The Last Time Jaehaerys Was Mentioned In This Show Was In The "previously On

jaime lannister threw the first brick at stonewall

Yes!!! Rhaenyra's words are perfectly in character for her. Alicent sacrificed her relationship with Rhaenyra for the safety of her family and Rhaenyra is bitter.

BUT WHY IS ALICENT NOT DEFENDING HERSELF 😭. She should be furious. Remember Driftmark, where Alicent rushed at Rhaenyra with a knife?? Remember "where is duty? where is sacrifice?" Because the showrunners clearly don't.

this was actually very in character for rhaenyra to still believe that she’s the only one between her and alicent that has ever suffered and gave things up like at the end of the day she’s still the teenage girl who thought her best friend seduced her father

I think Season 3 should be a comedy set in Essos. Like imagine Aegon healing in the free cities and vibing with Larys and suddenly Alicent, Helaena, and Jaehaera show up. Oh and also Aegon III and Viserys II make it there as well. And all of them are found by Sharako Lohar, with Tyland Lannister being dragged along for the ride.

"They'll paint you as a villain, a cold queen"

See, I spent all season wondering why Alicent was dithering around, not bothering to support her son who she put on the throne or taking vengeance for the murder of her grandson, instead choosing to fuck Criston Cole and let Rhaenyra leave King's Landing. But now I have been enlightened. The truth everyone failed to comprehend is that book Alicent is obviously maester propaganda!! The real Alicent would never love her children or do anything for them. How silly of you to believe such a thing.
