For Alcock, the figure of Rhaenyra struggles to "find the difference between platonic love, romantic love and lust", which are represented by her friend and now stepmother Alicent, Criston Cole and Daemon, respectively. I ship Rhaenyra and Alicent too, but everything that's been done between them so far seems queerbaiting and it makes me sad. Patriarchal and sexist society always ruins everything.
