The reign of House Targaryen begins: House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, is here. Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, which is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.

Yes. Cersei was evil to the core, smart but manipulative, she has blinders on and cannot see value in other people except herself & her children, she even sees her own twin brother as lesser than her and would constantly think critically of him but wants him to be devoted to her completely even when she isn’t devoted to him the same way she wished he did for her. She is narcissistic and Joffrey was her golden child, that’s why Tommen & Myrcella honestly turned out fine because they spent less time with their mother than Joff did. Meanwhile, Alicent was just a product of her environment & horrible dad. She was woman forced into a role that took away her control over her own desires and needs, Alicent grew up being taught that her life was never her own and that she must always put “the kingdom” first (kingdom meaning her dad’s obsession with the iron throne) and as an adult she is constantly reminded of this but despite being resentful of Rhaenyra, she stayed compassionate & empathetic to a fault. Alicent remembers the pain of her youth and the burden she carries of not following her own desires because she “couldn’t” when she certainly could’ve but she was so convinced by her father that being her own person was wrong and selfish and would hurt her father if she didn’t obey. Otto is just like Cersei, just not as good at manipulation & not as smart when it comes to getting what he wants. and also he never taught or pushed his daughter into the direction of being an egotistical narcissist monster.

And the funny part is Rhaenyra slept around when she was Aegon’s age, she wasn’t allowed to but she did, sure she would have faced WORSE consequences because she was a woman and that’s where Alicent’s rage comes in because Aegon IS allowed to sleep around and get away it at this age because he is a man and people like herself (the Queen, in Rhaenyra’s case it was Viserys and the people closest to Rhaenyra) cover up for him the same way people did for Rhaenyra at that age and still do despite her bastard sons, Aicent knows that what Aegon did is far worse than Rhaenyra’s actions but Aegon will never be humiliated for it like Rhaenyra was. Aegon also RAPED a girl, many girls actually which is shameful enough in itself. Alicent spent her entire life as a baby maker, sent by her father to seduce and fuck an old disgusting man twice her age, made to marry him, fucked whenever he wants, and be a baby maker for pretty much her entire life and here is her son forcefully taking the honour of a servant girl as he pleases, all the while he will never ever ever receive the same punishments and consequences that Alicent and Rhaenyra did and would have had they done as they pleased when they pleased. She is a woman who grew up being taught that her life does not belong to her, same as Rhaenyra but Alicent took her duty a different way. A worse way tbh.

He felt completely unloved by everyone around him for his childhood and was neglected by his father. He’s been given no real affection for years yet was basically enabled to do whatever he wants since he was a kid. So you have a teen who is given the power to do whatever he wants while barely regulating him with a giant hole in his heart of seeking validation that makes him apathetic and tries to fill the void through immoral actions. This by no means excuses his actions but goes a long way to understand him.

I think my eyes were opened a bit more when Aegon's actor spoke of the dinner scene with him, Jace and Baela. When he makes completely inappropriate comments to Baela this wasn't done to solely Irritate Jace.--he did it to "woo" Baela. Like, he's not joking in the slightest. The fact that he thought this beyond crass way of making a proposition to Baela was right, says a lot. He's looking for love and reassurance in every woman he sleeps (and or assaults) with because he doesn't believe his mother loves him. He's all sorts of fucked up.

It gets a lot more darker meaning when you see it like this: Alicent saw Helaena and immediately went to hug her with a sense of fear and relief, right after scolding her son for raping an innocent girl. Given the fact that Helaena is married to Aegon, I bet Alicent realized in that moment that he sexually abused her as well, and instinctively felt the need to give her daughter a comforting hug to compensate for that horrible realisation.

Alicent did the right thing by comforting the girl and giving her an open window to escape her abuser, not everyone at the time was as compassionate or understanding as she was. Yes, she's covering for Aegon, because he's her son and nothing can change that, but her anger, frustration, and disappointment are so real. By backing Aegon up she saved Dyana a sure death, Aegon would probably have her killed, and she's also saving Helaena and Aemond from shame.

Media literacy is dead with how many people really thought Alicent poisoned Dyana. She gave the girl moon tea, a contraceptive, so she doesn't end up pregnant with Aegon's bastard. It's the best thing she could do for a servant girl that got raped by a prince, because it would turn out WORSE for the servant girl if anyone found out what happened. So many people are determined to think Alicent is evil when she's just aware of how the world in her time period works.

Aegon reminds me of Tyrion Lannister, albeit completely different expectations. Tyrion wanted more leadership roles but was resorted to menial tasks because of his dwarfism. Aegon is the opposite, he wants nothing to do with leadership and prefers a life of freedom. Both reluctantly hold their roles for their family and copes by drinking and whoring. This is a surface level comparison of course, Aegon can never be as wise as Tyrion.

I think all the Hightower Kids reacted differently. Helaena just focused on her children and moved further away from people. Aegon became a degenerate just to feel something, since Lust was the closest thing he could find to love. Aemond became bitter, probably resents his father as a weak old man, and actively wants the throne for himself. This isn't to completely shit on Viserys, I think he did better than most would, but it's not good enough to shower one child in love and completely dismiss/disdain the others.

Yes he’s a grown-ass man who is responsible for his own choices, but the people in his life share some of that responsibility too. Edit: this was a comment about Aegon’s ACTOR. And how good he was that he was able to make me TEMPORARILY feel sorry for the FICTIONAL CHARACTER he portrayed. Okay. I’m done.

Helaena couldve been happy with Jace but because of political divides, she was stuck with Aegon who ignores her. Alicent couldve been free if only she separated herself from Otto after her marriage. Rhaenyra couldve been free had she not been burdened with being heir by her father. Viserys couldve been happier had he never been proclaimed King. Rhaenys couldve been more than just a wife of a noble house had she become queen since she is kore adept at the game than Viserys. So much tragedy

There’s something people don’t seem to understand: by the standards of the world they live in Aegon did nothing wrong. At least legally. He’s the king’s son. He can do whatever he wants, and that includes raping a serving girl, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. No authority in the kingdom is going to punish a prince on behalf of a serving girl. Even Alicent doesn’t have the authority to punish Aegon. He’s a grown man and he’s next in line for the throne. Alicent telling Dyana she believes her, giving her the tea and sending her away was the best she could do. And to blame the way Aegon turned out on his mother, who was a teenage girl when she had him and not on his father, who neglected him and his duties to him as a father, is incredibly sexist. Viserys CHOSE to marry Alicent and have more children! You’d think he’d actually parent them! But no, he married and raped a teenage girl the same age as his daughter and then left her and their children to the wolves.

@@bloop5337 On the subject of Viserys, that's actually something I really don't get. Where is he in rearing his children? Alicent isn't a good mother, but you can understand why. Firstly, she became a mother WAY too young. That shot of her, a teenage girl, holding a screaming infant conceived with her by a man 3 times older than her is harrowing; it's a perfect summation of the trauma of being a child bride. Second, Otto Hightower is a loveless manipulator who starved Alicent of any affection and Alicent's mother died when she was very young. In short, she hasn't had an example of good patenting. Next, Otto has heaped high standards and rigid perfectionism on her; that's all she knows, so she has little patience for people that don't fulfill their "societal roles." Lastly, she believes (again, thanks to Otto) that her and her children's lives are in danger from Rhaenyra wanting to eliminate any other claimants when she becomes queen. I believe Alicent loves her children sincerely, but she wasn't prepared to be a mother. But what the hell is Viserys' excuse? ALL he's ever wanted is a son, and when Alicent gives him one, he seems genuinely proud for a few episodes at least. Are we to believe Viserys is just some preteen with a puppy that got bored when it grew out of its "cute" stage? Not only does that seem unlikely, it's bad character writing. Alicent lacks flexibility but she dotes on her children (particularly Helaena) and Viserys might be a weak and distracted king but he has been previously shown to be a loving father, so how do the two of them have such sociopathic kids (Aemond and Aegon specifically)? I know that in real life good parents do give birth to murderers and rapists on occasion, but I'd like some narrative explanation from this show. And don't give me that BS "every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss the coin" writer's convenience. If that were the case, then it's statistically unlikely that Aemond and Aegon would both turn out bad while Jace and Luke are such righteous cherubs.

While I do think that Alicent failed as a mother to raise her children properly, you can't blame her entirely since she was practically a child herself when she had Aegon. She was put through a difficult situation. Viserys and Otto should have played a more active role in the children's development so her burden could have at least been alleviated.

In canon, Viserys married her at 18. That would've been around four years past adulthood for them already. Even in the show I'm pretty sure she was around 18. That's why Viserys married her instead of Laena, who was 9 and whom he'd have to wait 5 years for. Alicent was already an adult.

Alicent made herself assure of at that times medieval thought imposed on themselves as the righteous path as she saw how easily Aemma was accepting her discomfort. While Rhaenyra realised that this sacrifice will be her duty, she had to accept it and sacrifice her own desires so she could give birth more and more heirs to continue the bloodline.

Aegon is a shithead but I blame Alicent and Viserys for his upbringing. The things he does were born out of a neglectful and a bit abusive environment. At least Viserys has an excuse, you can’t really play catch with your son when you’re disintegrating. And Alicent had all the time in the world to be there for her children, and she spent it undermining Rhaenyra or backstabbing her with literally everyone in court, even with her own children. All the discipline she could muster is to slap Aegon when he does something fucked up and not really talk to him about it especially when he says, “I didn’t ask for this” or “I don’t wanna do this”.

Alicent was never the best parent in the world but the one of the main reasons why she wants to make Aegon the king is because she yearns to protect him and his siblings from Rhaenyra because she fears she will kill all of her children to secure her claim to the Iron Throne. Especially since the future queen is now wed to Daemon, the fickle man.
