If I hadn’t read the books/watched the show- I would genuinely think Alicent was a tortured small folk girl and not the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm who hailed from one of the most ancient, wealthiest and powerful houses of nobility in Westeros who control the citadel and faith of the seven and then went to marry the king during a time of peace and prosperity and then went on to actively rule in his stead for years because he was too sick to do so himself.
But if alicent stans actually acknowledged all of that, they wouldn’t be able to chronically victimise her
Lmaoooo anon, that's literally so true😭😭 They act like she was picked up off the street with no family, no influence, no money. Like that girl was the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm.
Yeah, in the the show, she was initially left with little choice, like before she married Viserys. But, she still is more privileged than almost everyone currently in ASOIAF. She's rich, has power, she can literally attack the heir to the throne with no consequences! That girl activity chooses to be a victim after the time skip.
To her stans though, she may as well be an impoverished saint.
