Progress? what progress? It’s dope that she was named heir….on paper. It was progressive as fuck for Viserys to name her heir but like Rhaenys told her, the people of the realm won’t accept that.
I watch this show thru the gaze of the rules of the time. Society and the rules that govern it weren’t made by me. I’m just an observer. Do I care if the heir is a woman? Fuck no. Do I want Rhae to have autonomy over her body? Of course. Arranged marriages are always some bullshit.
but it’s the choices Rhae has made along the way that show she’s a fuckin doof when it comes to the game of thrones. Sure, she’s a brilliant mind when it comes to strategy, but what difference does it make when every decision you’ve made outside of that table room has been dumb as fuck.
Corrupting Cole? getting wet for her uncle? Breeding bastards out of spite?
but it’s cool, cuz these choices were all of her own brain.
Fuck Allicent too but atleast she playing the game. I dunno what the hell Rhae is doing.
