from all the things passed down from all the apples coming before
Tags :
the way otto is looking forward
unable to look at his daughter or grandson
constantly scheming
his inability to look at either of them... possible guilt
but not enough to stop because he sees that it's too late
he cannot save them from the Game
and they wouldn't have been playing/played without him
alicent looks back at her son sadly
tired
helpless
a queen in chains indeed
she looks back while otto can't
resigned to her fate
and aegon's fate as well
alicent who longs for a past
a time when she was *happier*
a time when viserys was only her best friend's father and king
she is motivated by the need to protect her kids in a world where no one protected her
aegon looks at the viewer
eyes wide with fear and possibly anger and panic
he does not look at his mother or grandsire
*cannot look at them
so he wouldn't be able to see that his mother is looking at him/looking out for him
he looks defiant as well
like he wants to run from the duty and the sacrifice
but it will always catch him
by the time the apple reaches aegon there is nothing left but the core. so of course he is starving. of course he indulges to fill the holes
left behind by those who came before him. people take too much from alicent. so she might feel as though she has little but the core to give
targ talk
i feel ILL this is absolutely haunting/beautiful
