That Night, Septon Eustace Reports, Ser Criston Cole Slipped Into The Princesss Bedchamber To Confess

“That night, Septon Eustace reports, Ser Criston Cole slipped into the princess’s bedchamber to confess his love for her. He told Rhaenyra that he had a ship waiting on the bay and begged her to flee with him across the narrow sea. They would be wed in Pentos or Tyrosh or Old Volantis, where her father’s writ did not run, and no one would care that he had betrayed his vows as a member of the Kingsguard. His prowess with sword and morningstar was such that he did not doubt he could find some merchant prince to take him into service. But Rhaenyra refused him. She was the blood of the dragon, she reminded him, and meant for more than to live out her life as the wife of a common sellsword. And if he could set aside his Kingsguard vows, why would marriage vows mean any more to him?”

And yet it was HER (a 16 year old girl) who 'seduced'(🤮) HIM(a 31 year old man)??

This is a man who has watched this child of SEVEN grow up into a 'women'. He has seen her grief and mourn her late mother. Seen her get mocked by her 'stepmother'. Seen her get challenged every waking moment.

And yet there are defending “poor” Criston’s honor and person, calling Rhaenyra is a wh*re because she seduced a grown man?.

Not once does Rhaenyra mention him after what happened, NOT ONCE. Criston on the other hand calls her a wh*re every chance he gets, sided against her, cause HAVOK during her wedding, convinced her half brother to take the throne just so wouldn't be queen. Full on died just so she wouldn't be queen

Rhaenyra never thought of him, and he spent the rest of his life abominating her.

That sounds exactly like a man who would throw acid on a woman because he was rejected by her.

Holy shit this is gorgeous

“what do you say we leave the ball your grace?”

My baby.

ACTUAL GODDESS.

Princess Viserra Targaryen daughter of King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne. Viserra was the prettiest of the Kings daughters and she knew it, she would entertain young men and would often flirt and play games. She desired to become Queen and sought to marry one of her older brothers, in order to prevent this her mother betrothed her to an old lord. At the age of fifteen she was to be sent to white harbor to marry Lord Manderly, she escaped her rooms and rode her horse around kings landing in a last night of fun. She was thrown from her horse and died at the age of five and ten.

My Valyrian OC!

She's a dragonrider and her clothes bear a resemblance to her dragon's colors.

From a power hungry bitch to a sad victim saint, and yet they made the character 'better'

Book!Alicent: knows what she wants, gladly marries the king at 18 and becomes queen-consort, actively desires power and Aegon on the throne and Viserys knows it, openly hates Rhaenyra and doesn't try to like her (Rhaenyra is nine btw), thought of by many as someone reaching far too high above her station

Show!Alicent: I'm just a victim and a blind idiot also I think my former best friend capable of kinslaying and uwu I'm an abusive mother and have no agency or real purpose other than being a contrived, badly written mean gurl manipulated by the patriarchy feel sowwy for me 👉🥺👈
