I love the bones of you.

- «For Cooke, the motherhood mentality hit in Episode 9, written by Hess and directed by Clare Kilner:
"That moment in the carriage where Alicent's hungover son asks her if she loves him, and she says it by smiling and saying, 'You imbecile. Like, it's so obvious, this is all for you. Everything that I've done. Everything that I've sacrificed. All the awful things I've done in order to facilitate your ascension is because I love the bones of vou."» -- via Variety, 'House of the Dragon's Female Gaze'
I started making this as a sort of response to a question that many people have had after watching HoTD, or maybe an exploration of my own feelings towards it. The question being: Why didn't Alicent/Aegon/the Greens just let Rhaenyra ascend the throne in peace? Surely she would be merciful toward them and not cause them any harm.
Though I love Rhaenyra and understand that she still cares for Alicent and would perhaps want to mend the rift between herself and her brothers, peace under such a solution wouldn't last for long due to the expectations of a violently misogynistic nobility that extends far beyond the Hightowers and Lannisters. They're all patriarchal, Rhaenyra's cause certainly is as well (Though she and Alicent are both victims of patriarchy and misogyny throughout Fire & Blood and this first season).
In its essence, I believe House of The Dragon is a tragedy. We already know how it's going to end for each side, and that House Targaryen is going to eventually lose the Iron Throne during Robert's Rebellion. Characters in tragedies could attempt to escape their fates, try and run (as Aegon did) away from their ultimate destiny, but it could never work out. I think it's a great way to come to realise that a lot of the problems of the world aren't due to individuals and their actions (What Alicent, Otto, Viserys, Rhaenyra etc. have done), but are rather caused by things that are out of our grasp and ability to control (Though not without their collusion, their actions lead to their downfalls). In House of The Dragon, these things are feudalism (a term to use tentatively) and the way patriarchy functions within it.
I could attempt to explain why my sympathies lay with the Greens despite my great love for Rhaenyra, but I fear it would be the length of a proper dissertation. Ultimately, what I tried to convey is this sense of inevitability, that there's no way to back out of this problem, all solutions were insufficient, and that, sadly, Alicent was forced to choose between her great friend (and childhood companion wink wink cough THEY ARE GAY!), and her children.
In truth, I wish I had made this longer, but my apprehension toward such a course of action primarily stems from a fear of wandering aimlessly through images and words that I find compelling. This is done and finished though, and I hope you all like the video :)

I am team black but i cannot tell how i am sorry for greens. Especially for Aegon. Him and his siblings, his mother never felt the love from Viserys. Aegon just wanted to be loved by his father
It good to know there are fans like you who doesn't blindly blame alicent and her children for everything
this is gorgeous. i can completely recognize the tragedy in so many of the HOTD characters; and you portrayed alicent perfectly and her fierce determination beautifully.
thank you, alicent is probably my favourite character so i really tried to show off that admirable grit and drive that she has. she’s definitely one of the most tragic players of the dance. once again, thank you for the comment ♥️
OMG I saw the title and instantly knew 😭😭😭
I agree with you, hotd is truly a tragedy, but I also especially symphatise with the greens.
And this video illustrated the relationship between mother and son so beautifully, gonna go be sad about them again.
the greens are definitely my favourites at the moment. thank you for the thoughtful comment, i spend a lot of time thinking about alicent and aegon :’)
This is insanely talented! All frames are harmoniously interconnected, the color is magnificent. You are very talented, keep up the good work!
thank you!! ♥️
So tragic 😭
She deserved better
Oh my heart! All my feelings, this is so touching and well edited!
Благодаря сериалу, сильно проникаешься любовью к каждому персонажу, даже Эйгону II, который явно не хотел трона. Его так растила и воспитывала Алисента (постаралась, ради подруги, в сериале уж точно), как это было с Филиппом I Орлеанским и Феликсом Юсуповым.
15 век (если не ошибаюсь) родился Людовик XIV, так же известный как «король-солнце» будущий король Франции и Наварры был первым ребёнком короля - своего отца (его можно считать той же Рейнирой). А после рождается Филипп, которого намеренно воспитывают так, чтобы он не хотел претензий на трон, одевают в женские одеяния (Эйгону позволяют с ранних лет пристраститься с алкоголю) и всячески прививают ему характеристики противоположные правителю. Так же было с Феликсом Юсуповым и его любовником Дмитрием Павловичем. Но в обоих историях, те кого не желали видеть на троне, так или иначе оказывались близки к нему. Даже гомосексуальные связи (которые, якобы должны были мешать) не пошатнули обоих. Что Феликс, что Филипп, у обоих прекрасное военное образование - Лип точно был командующим своего брата - даже дети были у обоих (чего, кстати, не смог добиться Лейнор)
Но за такие глубокие мысли и переживания, мы должны говорить, как создателю данного видео leonor, и конечно же Джорджу Р.Р. Мартину, огромное спасибо!
С нетерпением ожидаю ваших следующих видео по второму сезону (хотя скептична к нему) и по другим произведением. Вы явно недополучили просмотров, комментариев и пальцев вверх!!!
Извините, что пишу на родном языке, просто сейчас эмоции бьют через край (благодаря Вам конечно) и боюсь неправильно перевести😭
thank you for the lovely comment! and don’t worry about writing in your native language, since i understand because english is not my mother tongue either. the historical connections you’ve made are so unique, since most people refer to the period in english history called the anarchy when talking about f&b and house of the dragon, so i will do a little research. i think i’ve heard about philip of orleans before! i really can’t thank you enough for your compliments though, i’m very happy you liked the video
Very beautiful, it makes me emotional 💔
thank you
I understand alicent and her children never felt loved by her husband and their father .
Cannot stop watching this, so so good!! 😍💚
