this completely canonizes alicent’s motivations in their scene following the brothel being about jealousy and brokenheartedness. she had felt the warmth of rhaenyra’s love, and then felt when it was ripped away from her and given to daemon, which is why she’s so hurt here!
#hotd she knows how it felt to be bathed in the warm light of rhaenyra's gaze..........
aemond saying alicent loved aegon more, and aegon saying she loved aemond more… oh, my broken siblings
“you bathe in the warm light of her gaze” kind of alicent’s version of “rhaenyra is a cunning spider. long ago she drew alicent into her web, intoxicated her”, when you think about it.
“Episode 5 is about being lost in the maze, being lost in the labyrinth […] and Alicent and Helaena are trying to find their way out of the Red Keep in the tunnels where Rhaenyra found freedom as a young girl.” — ep 5 writer Phillipa Goslett
Daemon disguising himself as a simple gold cloaks to find out who has been killing his men is sooo. He's really afraid of nothing 😭😭😭
