charlie :
Like the woman’s first foray into autonomy and selfish pleasure in DECADES results in the death of her grandson. Like. She probably thinks she cursed the family.

Team Black girl :
if we talk about show Alicent, she didn't grow up in Oldtown, she was born in 98, and Otto became a hand of the king in 101, so she lived in KL from

E :
this is a major theme throughout the show she redecorates the castle to have the symbol of the seven and the whole “every woman is the image of the mother” and just general vibes

k3ati3 :
Also her best friend was a princess and had a father for a king that let her do whatever she wanted, things normal girls would get looked down upon.

Ellie Saffer :
Do the books explain why she has Aegon marry Helaena? I thought the faith hated that Targaryen custom and she seemed to hate the idea of Rhaenyra/Daemon when she was young, and I can't see Viserys -

cass ♡ :
she had her breakdown when aemond lost his eye which led to her "where is duty? where is sacrifice?!" rant, bc she's always done what she was told while rhaenyra hasn't held that same pressure

🥸 :
You can definitely tell her “subserviency” in every scene of her father in s1 as well, the closest thing to rebelling was her siding with Rhaenyra that got Otto fired and she got cussed out for that

I still have a bit of sympathy for Alicent because of everything she’s been through but at the same time I need her to be an active participant in her life 😭

i like to interpret her as a repressed lesbian with insane religious guilt and trauma— a lot of her decisions and characterizations make so much sense that way

Bee :
You’re so right. She has depth/complexity. I also love how the other lead women have a quiet acknowledgment of how much patriarchy/religion has swayed Alicent. Like Raenys comment in ep. 3.

★Ali★ :
i feel like people dont notice this as much because we dont really see otto do anything religous so it looks like her piousness is coming out of nowhere rather than being inherited/forced on her

i’ve been saying that they should’ve used this as part of their motivation for usurping the crown and putting hightower blood on the throne

Dannydeletomeplease :
I’m so glad people are understanding how complex Alicent is like she is no saint but there are factors that made her how she is😩

Queen of Swords ☾ :
Yeah like the only reason the Hightowers are quite as important as they are is because they supported the faith of the 7 and invented the maesters.

mpoelgeest :
And it’s intertwined with her trauma of losing her mother, because she took her faith more seriously after her mom passed to feel a connection with her

flies and roadkill :
this is not catholicism, but orthodoxy, in the last episode the septon sang the russian orthodox prayer

jo :
I’ve also been thinking of how much Otto’s meddling might be tied to the generational beef between the Faith & Targs. Like was this the Hightowers’ long game?
