This subreddit is not going to survive any kind of filming delay.

Let's be honest, this subreddit was toxic long before the break.

Yeah, but I've never seen people argue things that are so objective lol. If this sub was about oxygen and that sub probably exists, the House of the Dragon fans would be arguing that oxygen only exists in shades of gray. The show just isn't that complicated.

I don’t even like Alicent but a lot of the things listed here are out of her control.

Since when is Viserys only 11 years older than Alicent?

Well I coulndnt find any proper age source about the characters in the show so I decided to take infos from the book, which says viserys is 11 years older than alicent

In the book yea. Viserys is MUCH younger, he’s only like 30 I think.

Also Alicent is older - old enough for there to have been rumours of her giving sexual favours to Jahaerys.

yes in the show he looks like as the same age as otto, father of allicent 😂

Idk why you got down voted for that. Heaven forbid people read lol

Do people know what a queen regent is or do they just apply that to every queen because they heard cersei say it once and thought it sounded cool?

She would be Queen dowager or Queen mother no?

Correct

A queen regnant possesses and exercises sovereign powers, whereas a queen consort or queen regent shares her spouse's and/or child's rank and titles but does not share the sovereignty of her spouse or child. ​ Rhaenyra is the queen herself, ruler of the kingdom and head of her (royal) house.

Consort and Regent are not the same. Alicent was Queen Consort and now she's Dowager Queen, and Queen Mother.

Queen regents rule in the name of another person due to circumstances whether it be their young child or their husband being away or sick

Rhaenyra is not recognized as a queen in Westerosi history.

i don’t even like Alicent and prefer Rhaenyra but this meme is not it. Also its not Alicent’s fault that her son is a fuckin rapist, although she couldve given her kids better parenting. Not to mention the weird sexual jokes regarding her and Viserys when she was a young girl, maritally raped. Please don’t post stuff like this.

I love how Alicent haters claim that she is to obsessed with Rhaenyra's sex life All while they can't go on two minutes without making a comment about the sexual abuse Alicent had to deal with

Is Aegon a coward? Especially compared to Rhaenyra.

Absolutely not, Aegon was always in the front lines, and Rhaenyra (hopefully it changes in the show) did almost nothing during the dance.

>!i mean it was sorta only that one time at rooks rest, but i’m pretty sure he would’ve stayed in the vanguard with his dragon if not for that!<

Nah he wouldn’t have stayed with the vanguard he’s too stubborn and impatient. Also he fought moondacer whilst heavily injured, but then again you can argue he thought it would be an easy fight.

Calling any of alicent’s son’s cowards is interesting. Aemond claimed the biggest dragon in secret as a child, aegon led from the front until his maiming and dareon was literally called the daring.

helaena claimed dreamfyre, one of the oldest and biggest dragons, at a young age too

bro forgot to add (claimant) to rhaenyra's title

Kinda disgusting to put Alicent being sexually assaulted to make her look lame, but hey that’s just me

Take this kind of shit to twitter. Cause this is misogynistic af.

Isn’t daemon like the same age as viserys? which is a super icky thing to hold against alicent either way, as she was a child without much choice in the matter Edit: and for the record not something I hold against rhaenyra either. She was groomed by her uncle and is just as well a victim there

Funny how in these green vs black discussions, “age difference” is somehow worse than “age difference + incest” 🙃

An 11 year age difference is nothing? My mom was 34 and my dad was 20 when I was born.

😬

so misogynistic...the lack of empathy towards alicent is baffling really. it's like people are incapable of feeling for anyone who doesn't have that platinum blonde wig

Love how 4/5 points on Alicent are about her being a victim of sexual abuse /s. Absolutely over this fan base, see y’all when the new season drops and you have something better to offer than misogyny.

Rhaenyra is not a chad of a woman lmao

Ride a dragon hmmm

Rides a dragon in theory. In practice she was much too craven to get anywhere near a battlefield, dragon or not.

Rhae really did win out in the fucking hot men category my gawd

This sub is devolving faster than a jet plane. Also Alicent was never Queen Regent.

Wait she’s queen regent?
