HOW DOES ANYONE EXPECT ME TO STAY STRAIGHT AFTER THIS?
HotD episode 9 was bewildering. Being the first episode solely about the greens, I was apprehensive regarding how it'll be carried by the audience... in one word? Powerful.
What truly made the episode were certain quotes which blew my mind.
"We do not rule, but we may guide the men that do."
"And yet you toil in your service to men... you desire not to be free but to make a window in the wall of your prison."
The words which truly sparked the desire to break free in Alicent. Free from the clutches of her father, free to make her own decisions.
We see this particularly during the coronation when:
Alicent is the one on screen, between the swords when the words 'A new king' are spoken.
Alicent stands between Meleys and Aegon. A dragon facing another desiring equal standing. Two queens who never were facing each other.
"It is our fate, I think, to crave always what is given to another. "
Helena's words overlapping with Alicent's meeting with the lords to establish Aegon on the throne. And in the end Alicent and Aemond craving it for themselves.
And finally "There is no power but what people allow you to take."
Mysaria's words left me gaping. It truly embodied the entire scenario of power is temporary being highlighted in the episode.
I believe that we might also compare these words to Aemond's condition as he too is not able to take anything apart from what is handed to him.
(I have not read the books and all my interpretations are based solely on the show.)
House of the Dragon
“Why do you like Alicent?” “How could you like Alicent” “she’s a traitor”
My favorite Shakespearean character is Lady Macbeth. This should be a surprise to no one. God forbid women do anything
Also Olivia Cooke is hot
Like I’m screaming and throwing up. Are you kidding me.
I really love how Alicent went from country girl interrupted to her Reputation by Taylor Swift era. Girl literally chose to shade, plot and wear fancy dresses. Good for her! 😌🤚
I imagined Olivia Cooke as older Padme and now i can't unsee it

Cooke’s past experience has taught her to seek out happiness, and even peace, wherever she can. More than the bandage-dresses and “paralytic” drinking of her early 20s, she says, she regrets taking herself so seriously. “I just had to grow up so quickly–: I was the only person taking care of me. Now I wish that I could go back and just be like: God, relax.” Hence the regression this summer. “I feel like I’m reliving my early 20s. I just feel so solid in who I am… Weirdly, the older I get, the younger I feel.”
