really don't have any words but a raw scream for alicent - the girl once too afraid to fly on dragon back with her best friend - responding to being face to face with a righteously furious dragon and rider by putting her body fully in front of her son.

an act not only born out of bravery and love but of the physical sacrifice that she knows all too well, even expects of herself, because that has been her entire life: body, womb, being, her entire personhood in service of king and country and crown, belonging not to herself but others to use as they wish. and this idea of her body not being her own but a tool for others protection, pleasure, power - whatever it may be, is paralleled in all her scenes this episode, brutal as they are. i am undone.
