" 24/7 baby machine " perfectly describes Alicent , Rhaenyra , Helaena , Aemma , Alysanne , Alyssa and some of the future Queens too 😂😂
She started out a Victim but how she treated Rhaenyra and Rhaenyra kids, not to mention ignored her own children. I don’t feel bad for Alicent anymore.
No
Todo esto es culpa de la ambición de su padre, ella era muy joven, solo su cara cuando su padre le pide que haga esto lo dice todo
My favorite song for 2024❤
She made a new version I think, with lots of women’s and children’s voices 🔥
Series???
House of the Dragon
The real villian is Otto and everyone knows it.
Well Viserys is not innocent either
Otto , Criston AND Viserys
MY QUEEN 💚
No matter how much people can hate Alicent, she was a tool in her father plan. It's not like she has a choice or a word to say. Girls belong to their father, until they get married and belong to their husband. She gain a little bit of power because Viserys let her do what ever she likes in exchange she gave him heirs. Rhaenyera had the chance to have a father who wanted her happy, Otto didn't give a sh*t about his daughter happiness. He used her all way long.
Accurate
I always understood why viserys remarried but clearly he did to produce more heirs which would only weaken rhaenyra’s claim and cause inner turmoil which tore down house targaryen
Poor Alicent ❤
i feel bad for alicent but at the same time, fuck alicent.
I don't care what anyone says, this is HER song 👏👏👏
Series title?
Alicent was a caunt with no a
kay why es
I hate Alicent and intially thought she was a weak coward who was afforded more privilege than common women of her time but still choose her own oppression.
But, after that disturbing first sex scene between her and viserys, its clear that she was a frightened young girl, staring despondently into the ether to remove herself from a traumatizing experience made that should have been a moment shared by someone she someone she loved.
To some degree, it felt like that kind and caring side of her died that night and made way for the queen bitch attitude of her adult years, which is pretty understandable given the circumstances.
Toxic
Otto and herself caused this as much as Viserys had though. This song was the wrong fit. Allicent was someone who fought to be queen, she knew what was being asked of her when she was to seduce Viserys. I feel bad for her being a girl in a mans world but not being his wife, Aemma got it so much worse tan she did. Love her as a character and do unsderstand her struggles more than most seem to want to but se is not the victim of the story for being a queen instead of a lady.
if you read blood and fire you may know most of the talented targaryen princesses died because of labour because they're woman characters and they can't have the happy ending their brothers had
Thats why here son rides the largest dragon 😂😂😂
Alicent was a victim, too.
This song is toxic af.
Men are toxic af
How is the song toxic?
I sympathized with her when she as a child was forced to marry an old man (the King) but as an adult I cannot because now she is doing the same thing to her son as her father did to her ie forcing her son to do something he doesn’t want to do ie become king… am in the process become an unfeeling bitch to her once close friend. Q: If she was such a good wife why couldn’t she have respected her husband’s final wishes that his daughter and her line succeed him? Especially since her son doesn’t want the crown….
Because in the show she thought he was talking about their son and not Aegon the conqueror. (I did not like that either, because it basically makes it seem like the whole dance of the dragons happened because of this misunderstanding) and yeah, forcing her son to be the king is wrong but he would die otherwise. If Rhaenyra thought about having mercy on them, Daemon would’ve convinced her otherwise. So everything she did was for her children (she thought it was the right thing to do) and I admire that. And about their friendship with Rhaenyra, she betrayed Alicent’s trust first by lying about being with Daemon. And as we now know from the script leaks, their relationships were more than just friends, so it makes sense why Alicent reacted like that. I’m not saying that’s right, but I understand why she is doing certain things and really like this character. I get your point and your perspective though.
Ok ., let's not forget that she is the one who did this to her self, she could have avoid it by not going to viserys everyday make him need him, she could have said no to her father ,
As if it easy for a girl in GRRM’s universe to say no to her father. Even Cercei Lannister couldn’t go against Tywin
People who watch GoT and HotD get so blinded by the strategies and hidden hints and whatnot that they don't realise how much they've gotten used to the old norms that are portrayed in these shows. Even though objectively it's known that rape is wrong, murder is wrong, women don't exist just to birth a son, etc. The more you watch these shows the more you start excusing the bad behaviours. People who treat her like she was a villain through and through have no idea how to see the characters who are victims of those things as victims, because they just see it as 'well every woman in this show deals with that.' Or 'the men have to act like that it's how it was'. It's gross that people abandon morality and critical thinking just because it's a tv show
I'm not a doctor but I don't understand why they didn't kill her first and only after that take out the baby. They knew she is gonna die either way.
Because if the mother dies they have less than 4 minutes or less to get the baby out but if it takes longer the baby will have brain damage and eventually death… The baby relies on his mother’s oxygenated blood.
Maybe an unpopular opinion; But in the case of Viserys, Rhaenyra, and Alicent. Rhaenyra and Alicent were the victims.
as much as i hate to say it alicent was more victim than rhaenyra as rhaenyra always had her father’s support but the clear as day reason that viserys married alicent for for her womb not her love
How was Rhaenyra a victim? Rhaenyra basically got everything she wanted and still fumbled the bag by making a lot of mistakes that could threaten her position as heir. Rhaenyra is a good person like her father but I honestly don't think she would have been a great queen
@@qpishjunior4772 Rhaenyra was bargained off and offered to hundreds of men just for the sake of having a king consort, was forced to marry her gay cousin and face scrutiny when her children were bastards. She was a level-headed and wise heir and would have made an excellent queen if it wasn't for the greens and their rapey 'king'.
@amyobrien3980 I don't necessarily think show Rhaenyra would have made a bad queen but I don't think she would have been the greatest. That's all I was saying. She is definitely better option than Aegon, Aemond or anyone else on team green. The best choice was definitely Rhaenys the queen who never was
@@qpishjunior4772 Rhaenys is the queen who never was for a reason, she was not picked, given the situation at hand Rhaenyra would have been the best fit.
Cant say i sympathise with her. She was cruel to her own friend, brought up old wounds of her mothers death by saying 'its not that bad' when her friend thought she could be a mother, was deceitful at every turn. She didnt have the best life growing up but thats not an excuse to be a terrible person. As far as im concerned, reap what you sew.
Her friend could've understood her pain
@@anikethchakraborty3238 rhanaera (im sorry if i mispelled it) at least had the decency to look chagrined when she told her friend 'nothing more romantic than being a baby maker' (not the exact quote i know). Friends dont referemce their dead mother out of spite
@@delilah1096 sorry, but Rhaenyra lied on her dead mother's corpse and held Alicent responsible for marrying the King but it was Viserys himself who married the teen and even had a sexual relationship with her. If he didn't want any heir why he kept producing more that all boys and even a dragon dreamer? Viserys didn't even change the Laws of Succession when he was alive. The male was expected to be the heir by the Realm which Alicent gave birth to and she gave birth to a dragon dreamer as well. If she was such a bad person then the Realm wouldn't have liked her. Alicent is seen as a virtuous and religious woman who follows her duty. I don't recall anything Rhaenyra had to sacrifice . She got away with everything. Both Aegon II and Rhaenyra were horrible and Viserys never called them out for it. What was the King actually doing anyways? Also, Alicent developed internalized misogyny due to Rheanyra and because of Otto's brainwashing. I do not see her as a villain but as a victim.
Edit: Alicent interacted with the small folks which no Targ. making her popular among the citizens.
@@anikethchakraborty3238 that may be true, but she also attempted to punish rhaenyra's son with the whole 'an eye for an eye' simply because they were stopping alicents son, purely out of spite. I dont deny alicent suffered cuz she did, but she didnt need to drag rhaenyra down with her
@@delilah1096 Alicent didn't mean to take the child's eye but used it as an excuse to hurt Rhaenyra. She was deeply sad, furious and anxious at that time considering her son could die from losing an eye ! yet no one cared. Just wait and watch what Rhenyra will do including murdering the innocent children of Haelena and then putting the corpse on display for fun. She's worse than Cersei.
Здесь большинство жалеют бедняжку Алисенту, но! она сама пришла в покои короля, практически предлагая себя трахнуть, а потом начала стоить из себя жертву, и когда Отто сказал «я сделал, как ты хотела королевой», так что нет за что боролась, на то и напоролась!!!. И да мне ее не жаль ни с какого ракурса, вот вообще. Пройти и попросить помощи и защиты у короля, с учетом того какой тюфяк был Визерис, она бы смогла куда больше добиться. И кстати с учетом того, как к ней относилась Рейнира, то ее дети были бы на троне, так как Рейнира бы точно захотела поженить их детей. И кстати да так на минуточку очень хорошо показано, на последнем ужине, когда король ко всем зеленым сидит гнилой стороной, это как аллегория того, что со стороны зеленых куда ни плюнь только одна гниль!! И еще ни один потомок Отто так и не стал королем в долгосрочном правлении, а тот что стал отравили собственные сторонники. Так что да, я лично очень наслаждалась всей болью Алисенты, для меня она мерзкая и отвратная.
Allicent deserved so much better than to be poisoned and broken by the men's game going on around her. Imagine if they had just let Rhaenyra and Alicent be allies! The Targaryen dynasty would still be what it was before, the white walkers would have been no task at all.
My poor baby🥹
What is this show and where can it be watched?
It’s House of the Dragon. On HBO
I fully blame this on otto.
This song doesn’t suit alicent at all
She literally sacrificed her entire life.
I think this rlly fits for just first wife as well, trying like 8 times to have a son only to have rhaenyra and him choosing his son’s life over his wife (without even asking her)
FYI- no I’m not trying to dismiss Alicent’s time as his wife either as they rlly were both victims
I agree. I’ve seen edits to this song with all HOTD women😭
Rhaenyra never chose her brother over her mother, what are you talking about? Rhaenyra loved her mother, she wanted the boy to live for her father, but never wanted for her mother to die.
I think the only reason I love Alicent is because Olivia does her very well (also she’s so funny and sweet) but damn she turned into a wicked woman. If you really look at her relationship with R then you would see she has always been jealous of her freedom. I don’t know if I would ever call their relationship a good one, all I do know is the coming seasons are gonna suck emotional wise lol
Fitting music
I like to think if the consolidator had seen the future ruler he set up. He would have never done what he did.
I would have been here for this but she goes on to violently defend the very system that oppressed her.
Alicent's father made her do too much labour
Most of people who hate Alicent can't deal with the fact that if they were in the same place as her the story wouldn't have been any different.
@@giannaoladimeji3878 yeah because manipulation work that way 🤦🏽♀️
she is the kind of person to complain about her fats but do nothing to change it, i don’t blame her for her father being manipulative but if she wanted something different she could have protested
Alicent do not want be happy, she wants other women no to be
if I were in her position, the story would’ve been very different 🤷🏻♀️ Alicent is just a bad person
@@jovannabrendasantos8185 another one
Oh bitch this song is the tea. Love it. Yesss. Love love love this song.
When I first heard this song I immediately thought of Alicent.😢 Nice edit!
Me too, and the lyrics “you made me do too much labor” always reminds me of the scene where Aemma talked about how many times she was pregnant 😭
Si alicent no le hubiera hecho caso a su padre y hubiera apoyado a rhaenyra, tal vez habria sido la mano de la reina y su consejera
This song is incredible!
What is this song?
@@esmeraldasimental4137 Paris Paloma - labour
Ok completely off topic but my last name is also Hightower.
Kinda jealous now😄It’s a beautiful last name
@@aemonds_scar aww thank you
This song is so ficning cringe imagine being a woman and thinking you're the oppressed sex. Holy shit the most preserved pampered and protected class of lifeforms to ever exist on earth and they still find a way to write a song where they are the victims.
Well this song was mainly made for historical side, but yes they are pretty pampered in first world countries.
Wow dude chill! If you think women are pampered you are not living on the same planet
@@aemonds_scar in first world countries you are, but that goes for men too.
Ah yes most oppressed are men 😂
Honestly out of all the kings people are forced to marry He was probably the best.
yeah he would only rape her and neglect her children 💀
I'm not a fan of Alicent but I don't hate her either, I understand that she lived her whole life as the people in her family expected, the expectations of being a woman ... especially coming from families that are the representation of faith ... she clung to her ideals and her faith as the only good and just thing and she created her own truth...being hard on herself and being hard on judging people who don't follow "her rules of good virtue"...she was a machine for making babies , she was sold by her father and tormented by his expectations .. so the young Alicent makes me very sorry, with an adult Alicent it is already a little tougher topic, seeing her become her father for her eldest son .. go from victim to victimizer
She didnt even gave attention to her children, one is a traumatized psycho, the other is a horrible rapist and the sanest of these three is still a little crazy
And that’s why I love them , they are the perfect amount of crazy(apart from being a rapist ofc,but that’s not even book canon)
@@aemonds_scar yeah show is all about - portray greens as as worse as possible and white wash blacks as much as possible.
@@mg-cx5tv Alicent and Aemond are much more sympathetic in the show they books Alicent is basically Cersei 2.0 and Aemond is a psychopathic killing machine
And to think if Viserys got his precious male heir, Alicent and Rhaenyra would've ran away together on Syrax, and finally be able to explore their love and passion for each other.
You do realize that they were just friends right? But of course in your worldview it's impossible for friends to actually exist so.
Yea right
Rhaenyra loved her uncle 😂
I don't like Alicent character but I love both actresses who played her, they played very well and both are very beautiful, especially the young Alicent, she brought the best she could and Alicent is a very complicated role to play I think it's even more difficult than playing Rhaenyra .
M3n r the worst thing that ever happened to this universe. The world is better off without them.
Honey men built this society, and built that phone you have in your hand, or even any other device that you have, so no, it definitely would not be better off.
@@sindelscat9336 and, when u think about how abusive every single 1 of them is, we all wish they never existed
@@mariyamatia8726 15% of men is not the entire population, quit trauma dumping and seek help.
@@sindelscat9336 actually it's 95% of the m3n population that r the worst.
@@mariyamatia8726 nope it's 15%, the same amount as the toxic women.
What I don't understand is her obsession with bloodline and rightful heir yet I don't think ANYONE would accept aemonds children as heirs because their all incest children or bastards and we see centuries later with cersi that isn't an acceptable heir....
The Targaryens are pretty well known for their incest it’s just that no one could really do anything about because of the dragons
I'm unapologetically team green. Rhaenyra is a stupid wanton
Show name???
House of the Dragon
Otto is the only villain in this show everything else was caused because of him, she's just one of his victims
Otto is this show version of Peter baelish
Absolutely not true . What Otto is doing is simple thing . He wants best for his house. Its not like he even betrays king . He just wants next king to be from his house , thats it . Its like not even a crime . Daemon is much worse person for example
I feel for young Alicent but she could have made different choices as an adult... in the end she screws over Rhaenyra at every turn. She married her father, she tries to usurp her thrown for her own son (who doesnt WANT to be King), she didn't even tell Rhaenyera her father who she loved dearly had died, her son kills her youngest son, all so Otto could have more power? Adult Alicent gets zero sympathy from me. She was a victim yes, but she also chose to use that hurt to hurt a woman who was her best friend at one point.
*throne
Согласна
Yes 🙌🏻 the child Alicent deserved sympathy but the adult Alicent does not I agree with you 💯
If there's another one to blame it's her father, who actually forced her to all that even when she said she didn't want to do it anymore. Alicent was kid, she should've been protected by her father. Viserys was wrong in thinking Alicent could fill in the whole that her wife was leaving on him when he knew she died; he was no saint, but Alicent seduced him on purpose and to me the worst of all of them was her father, who ploted everything because he wanted power.
dont try to take blame away from viserys, alicent (in the show) didnt seduce him, she was a literal child who would only read to him and talk about rhaenyra, like bfr, if that "seduced" viserys It says a lot about him
her husband definitely wasn't the best person but the most abusive person to her was her own father.
viserys could’ve _maybe_ buried his head in the sand and thought everything was fine, especially once his health was all fucked up. but otto knew exactly what he was doing to his daughter and he did it anyway
His husband was a good person considering the time, that's actually why he was a bad king. But yes, the person that made her life miserable was her own father.
@@crisc1049he wasn't really, he just wasn't bad person, but he could do much more to secure Rey clamin and make Alicent don't spiral into this path. He just choose to ignore it
She deserves it
Her father destroyed her completely 🥺
I dont care what anyone says. If you like Alicent that is okay, but personally I think she’s serving c*nt and not in a good way. So I’m very excited to see Rhaenyra become a crazy b*tch and kill Alicent’s entire line. And yes I’ve read the book so I know exactly what’s coming to her and she entirely deserves it sooo… yeah. Although Rhaenyra isn’t the best I still love and support her and yes I am going to point fingers and say Alicent started it 100%. She was afraid that Rhaenyra was gonna start killing her children, but in the end Alicent killed Rhaenyra’s first and brought it upon herself. Plus she forced her rapist son (and yes in the show he literally rapes a girl if you don’t remember go to episode 6 thx) to be king even tho he didn’t want it and claims that “it’s the best thing for the realm”…yeah okay personally I don’t support a mother who supports her rapist son soo yeah. Alicent can die in a hole and I can’t wait to see all of her children 6 feet-under.👍💜
She is extremely misunderstood in my opinion All she did was protect her children at all costs. She could not sit and hope for rhaenyras mercy. Especially when rhaenyra lied to her before swearing on her mothers life. They became strangers. No one would lay the lives of their children in the hands of a stranger. She knew Rhaenyra would Not hesitate to sacrifice her children to protect her own because Alicent would do the same within a heartbeat. Nothing is stronger than a mothers love
She wanted power, it wasnt abt protecting her children, rhaenyra wouldnt have killed them and even proposed a wedding between jace and helaena to prove to alicent she had no reason to feel threatened
@@emma-rdgs Book Alicent wanted power but show Alicent doesn’t
@@samanthamatz5300 she very much does, her innocent act is not supposed to work on yall 💀
Actually no, Rhaenyra didn't lie. And Alicent betrayed Rhaenyra first by hiding from her that she was courting her father. Rhaenyra wouldn't have hurt her children, but Alicent's children hurt Rhaenyra and her innocent children.
@@fortheloveofcats2462 If you think a underage 15yo girl can court/seduce a grown-ass man (with her evil plan to... offer him condolences and reading him books? wow, Alicent, how dare you vile seductress!), you urgently need media literacy, or a good psychiatrist (and maybe the police to check you soon af). This is fiction, okay, but defending pedo (even fictional ones) and thinking underage children can seduce them is a very low bar
She’s a little bit more than just a baby maker. She did quite a lot of work to ruin his house and lineage as well…😂
Nahhh still don't feel bad for her.she wanted to obey her father an knew it would make her life miserable an did nothing to fight or change it.yeah sucks what she went through but at some time it was actually all in her.
She couldn’t exactly say no. Women is Westeros don’t exactly have many right’s especially as 15
..... everyone seems to attack. But I could relate to her pain. And how much she wanted a different life. Poor girl at a young age was forced to marry an old man, give birth to children ,etc etc. She deserved better
People forget that half the reason why Alicent suffered as much as she did was because SHE decided to embrace the abuse and lifestyle her father told her was best for her. You can only stretch the blame of your abusers so far until you have to take responsibility for not taking the initiative to change things yourself!
As an adult yeah. I love alicent but not cuz i think shes a "good person" i feel bad for her. And how she treats her children is a direct result of how her father treated her, and still treats her. Until Otto dies alicent is his pawn and her children are his bargaining chips. Her story is a tragedy, she isnt meant to be revered but all she really needed was someone to be good to her. She needed a mother.
Lmao it's a feudal society. If Cersei the daughter of the most powerful man in westeros had to take the neglect and abuse what chances do you think Alicent would be given? She would be married off anyway. Her not sitting back and hoping Rhae and Daemon show mercy to her kids is the only time she does something that makes absolute sense.
Girl the lyrics beautiful
But i am alwys team black forever n ever we hve only one queen ie Rheynera
I get a feeling that people who harshly judge Alicent are the same people who worship daenerys😂
(Just a comment. Please don't come at me.)
I think it’s always easier to root for the “good guys”. I like more complex characters. Even though GRRM said there are no good or bad guys in his universe(especially not in Fire and Blood)
I love how Alicent is forcing Aegon to become king even though he's told her multiple times he doesn't want it. She's basically become her father. Sacrificing her children's happiness for her own wicked plans
I love her, but have to agree with you on this. She also truly believes her children will be dead if Rhaenyra gets the throne ( thanks to Otto, obviously)
@Lana del Kay she gets no sympathy from my... she allowed Otto to do exactly what he warned her that Would be done to her. Kill her children and force her out... I think the whole dance of Dragons would have been avoided had she not let Otto use her for his gain.
And wedding her son and daughter after all the shit she talked about the targaryens and incest.
@Dannie it's viserys who had arranged the marriage not alicent.
@@heartlesslove9084 that’s not true Visery’s agreed with and wanted Halaena to marry Jacery’s. Alicent disagreed and wanted Halaena to marry Aegon.
maturing is realizing that Alicent was the victim
Oh yeah she has every right to be mad she’s just directing it at the wrong person. Her husband and especially her father are the cause of her unhappiness not Rhaenyra.
She was to an extent.
For sure, but she’s now become a villain because of it
Sometimes the victim and the villain are the same person 😔
Nobody denies that but the anger is at the wrong person she is literally green with envy
This is her song 💚
This is what Alicent wanted for her and her father, the hand of the King she knew the game now she's the Queen season two is gonna be lit they killed Rhaenyra's son!
And she gets to see all her grandchildren die
I dont think either of them were bad people...they just were not suposed to be together. She was way too young and pushed to do this by her father and the king just didnt know but he was a good king, father and husband in my opinion.
He was a good father only to Rhaenyra
And he betray Aemma and ignore Alicent
@@aemonds_scar Alicent never should have those children,it was all for nothing
I don’t feel bad for Alicent at all. She let her father snake ass Otto manipulate her into seducing Viserys. She knew exactly what she was getting into. She gets no sympathy from me.
I haven't seen the series, nor read the books, but I read here she was 15 when all this happened. 15 in a patriarchal kingdom....hmmm, how exactly did you expect her to stand up to her father and her king?
She was a child.. My God. Do you also think Dolores from Lolita had it coming because she flirted with Humbert? It's not the child's responsibility not to be taken advantage of; it's the responsibility of the adults. Unfortunately every adult in Alicents life let her down.
@@freyavanir2081 if you haven’t read the book or seen the show how can you have an opinion. Your basing your opinion and feelings off of a fan edit. I have read the book several times and watched show. These are fictional characters. Alicent and her scheming father Otto knew exactly what they were doing. I stand by what I said she gets no sympathy from me. She was actually 18 when she married Viserys he was 29. She knew her job would be to provide heirs. Again she gets no sympathy from me!
@@anais559 I’m confused at your comment. This is a fictional story. This video is fan edit. Have you read the book have seen the show? Yes Otto did let Alicent down he was scheming and used his daughter as chess piece. She knew what her father was doing and what the outcome would be. She knew that women were used politically for the family. She knew that her job would be to have heirs. She was 18 when she married him he was 29. I stand by what I said she as fictional character gets no sympathy from me.
According to you we could say the same about Rhaenyra then, she got herself into that mess by sleeping with many men and having bastard children. No sympathy for her 🤷🏻♀️
I will say, all GOT men considered- Vicerys was a fairly good man. Obvi- I’m not saying he’s a great husband 😂 he married a child after all- but this is the GOT universe.
Msn☕️
"24/7 baby machine" 😂😅
This song describes how her father wanted her to be a royal baby making machine when she didn’t like it at all.
That's literally a woman's job in this world. I don't know why she thought she could escape it. Wishful thinking, I suppose
@@keleighiorek99 ya
Yes but at the end of the day her father signed her up for all of it. It doesn’t give Visarys a pass but she focuses all her rage on Rahneria…who never did anything to Alicent. I think we are going to see Rahneria become very vicious going forward and that dynamic is on Alicent. She agreed to steal the throne from Rahneria and it resulted in the death of her son and now she is out for fire and blood.
Reminder that her dad just straight up sold her. He made moves to snatch up Rhaenyra as well.
I resent the character so much but have so much pity for her as well.
The show so far has really nailed women's issues in a nuanced way.

We get to have our own lyrical music now :)
I thought it was interesting that after Helaena was born Alicent started drinking more and more. Not only that, she also drugs herself just to sleep. When the maid comes to tell her that Viserys was summoning her, Alicent is clearly not all there. Her eyes are glazed over and she sways slightly when she sits up. There's something like pleading in her tone when she says "the hour is quite late". As if she's begging the maid to not make her go. It all shows just how traumatizing her marriage has been for Alicent.
Why would a man want to have sex with anyone who just lies there though?
That's so grim..

It fits Alicent so much😲😢
Although I don't like Alicent, I pity her very much. She was playing the game of thrones the moment Rhaenyra's mother died and didn't even know. Though, now that she's an adult, I wonder why she thinks she would be able to go up against the Targaryen's in the first place?
I think she needs to believe there’s a reason she gave up her whole life, her girlhood, her best friend, etc. To sacrifice this much just to never enjoy any love or power or admiration or happiness of her own would be too painful. So she deludes herself into thinking her only destiny is to put her sons on the throne or else…what was any of it for?
after Aemond’s eye got cut, his father-the king-and Rhaenyra was going to interrogate & torture his own mutilated son for speaking the truth about her children. at that moment, Alicent knew that her children would be in danger since her husband didn’t care about their children’s health over Rhaenyra, even though Alicent was the one caring for Viserys and governing the country while Rhaenyra was gone for YEARS. who can blame her for believing that her children could be killed?
I mean the hightower family is an ancient house known for their political skill. Whilst the Targaryens (or in this case house black) has a very big set of dragons and are good at outright war, they lack cunning and are a relatively newer house. Otto is known to be both the most experienced and savvy politician of his time, having basically ruled the kingdom for Viserys for years and being groomed from a young age to become a good strategist (in hightower tradition.) Rhaenyra is clueless about politics and while Daemon has a bit more experience, he has little skill for diplomacy compared to war, and was taught mostly by Viserys who was more concerned with prophecy than current political drama. Alicient is currently more skilled than either of them as well, having been taught how to rule by her father and having been part of ruling the country ever since Viserys got ill. That and them being on the side of westerosi tradition with a male successor, the scandal of Rhaenyra's children being potential bastards and her almost being completely absent from Kings landing for the last few years, the greens have a significant favour in the public eye. They also allied with the Baratheon family at the end of the show and whilst Rhaenyra has more allies and man power, the baratheons possess a large chunk of westeros, giving them central power over most of the kingdom right now. So technically, they are in a rather fortunate position right now. If it will go into brute war however (which is more likely after what Aemond did which is why he looks terrified after it happened), they're bound to suffer loses that might be equal or even greater than the blacks. That's kind of the point of the show. Historically, this is called the dance of the dragon because the targaryen family was on the verge of completely ending their lineage on their own from the inside out. Hightowers fight with words and plots whereas the Targaryens do through brute force, both representative in their house words. So it will be very interesting to see how these opposing skill sets go up against each other!
Why don't you like her? She's literally the only likeable character in that show
@@IchibanOjousama Agree. I think she’s the one I empathize with the most.
What show os this
House of the dragon
Labour is such an Alicent song
Men r all the same. Trusting them is dangerous
Why does it feel like the more i watch the less empathy i feel for her?
You are being desensitized to her situation that's why you feel that way.
I felt the same about Rhaenyra. I used to like her a lot in the first episodes
It's crazy...
In the beginning I really loved Rhaenyra and I didn't really have any opinions about Alicent, at least until Viserys came along and my feelings towards her went pretty bad.
However, I have to say that was before I could watch the whole series before it was only excerpts on UA-cam. Since it was not broadcast on television in Germany.
But with each episode, my love for Rhaenyra seemed kinda... well... you get the idea.
I don't agree with Alicent's choices but overall I like her more than Rhaenyra now.
It pains me to say, but Alicent was right on some points.
It doesn't take away from the fact that in the book he gets into a fight with a little girl.
I was thinking about this song and alicent earlier lol
❤ I love Alicent. I relate to living in a society where this is expected of women. Not going to work on me. 😉
Good for you!!❤ seriously run away!!! I wish you nothing but good!
@@rosettegb7999 Thank you 🤗 I am a lesbian, so it's even harder to get by here.
I didn't even tried to finish the show but i hates the part where he was littéraly doing the shit but she was silent. He was satisfying himself but she wasn't. It feels like r**e to be honest. I even think it is ra**.
It is rape.
It is rape. She didn't have a choice in marrying him and was basically a child sold to an old man.
It's called marital* rape.
it definitely is - she’s staying to get pregnant by order of the king’s hand/her father
It WAS r4pe.
