ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS S2 TEASERS: Sevika

Really interesting choice to have Rhaenyra (understandably) refuse to send Jacaerys back out when he volunteered but call Baela and send her out on patrol immediately after arguing with Daemon. Either she’s less concerned for Baela’s safety because she considers her more competent or on some level she’s taking out her frustration with Daemon on his favorite daughter. The poison drips down!

jocelyn baratheon's storyline is crazy. fall in love with the handsome heir to the throne, marry him in the grandest ceremony second only to the royal couple, anticipate becoming queen, give birth to the heir's heir, stay married for over a decade and half with all these expectations, then BAM he died fighting some war by catching a crossbow bolt to the neck. you're grieving heavily but hey at least your daughter is the heir and you'll be queen mother. no lmao the king appointed your brother in law because he can. you've gone from future queen to queen mother to not a damn thing. mother to the lady of driftmark. up in high tide drinking heavily with boremund corlys who just quit his hand job and rhaenys — all of you talking her out of doing something drastic with meleys

missing that bastard, lestat de lyingcunt or whatever his name is

i like to think that this was claudia both cursing lestat and just her being a scared daughter looking to her father for comfort while in agony in a room full of people who cheered on as she burned.

on one hand i think this is her passing her own judgment on him, forcing him to face the consequences of his actions, of what he put her through. i do think she believed his version in the end (if her questioning louis and then changing her wording to "even if it is true" is anything to go by) but of course she does not forgive him. she cant. his explainations arent an excuse. none of it justifies what he did to her specifically, and both of them know it. i think its also why lestat doesnt even try to apologize to her.

and on the other hand, at this point madeleine was already dead, louis had been taken away and no one in the coven had any love or sympathy for her. lestat was all she had left, and he was the one who made her. we keep being told over and over how strong the vampire bond is in regards to louis and lestat but lestat made claudia too. he's watching his own blood die and he feels it, and she knows it, and knows that bond, that shared pain is the last shred of love she will ever feel.
