It was Stannis, not Gendry that he said was the rightful heir I believe

It was Ned who found him. Ned wrote to Stannis for support for Gendry. None of it mattered though because Cersi did not give a fuck about the laws enforced by a terrible King. Sound familiar?

 

[SeaSnake]

And there's a reason why Gendry never had a chance to sit on the Throne even though he was the true heir since he was Robert's only living son.

Gendry didn't sit on the throne for the same reasons that Rhaenyra's kids won't. They are bastards and the realm will not accept them.

Do niggas not understand that the Lords would rather not have a woman lead the realm in the first place? We've known this since the first episode. Just because they pledged loyalty to Rhaenyra when Viserys named her his heir does not mean that they're all cool with it. They're not. That's the same reason why Rhaneys never sat on the throne. The realm will not accept a woman as their leader.

So now on top of the Lords accepting a woman a their leader you are also asking them to accept that same woman's BASTARD sons to lead them as well? That's not going to fucking happen. Alicent knows this. Rhaenyra knows this. Viserys knows this. This is why they tried to convince Rhaenyra to marry and bear a son for over a decade now. She did not want to accept that. Fine. Cool. Rhaneys told her exactly what would happen and she didn't listen. Daemon told her exactly what do do and she still didn't listen. Finally Viserys hand was forced and he forced her to wed Laenor and she still could not do her duties and produce a LEGITIMATE heir.

Rhaenyra took too long to get in the game. She was too busy sulking to make smart moves. She should have a legitimate heir by now. She went on a years long tour looking for someone to wed. She turned down every single candidate. Just think. She literally could've wed the Lannisters, had a son, and still did whatever the fuck she wanted to do just like Daemon told her but she wanted everything to be her way.

Now that she's older she wants a redo and she wants to insert herself into the fold but she's made too many mistakes.

And niggas are really calling Alicent a hater for literally pointing all of this out to Rhaenyra. Shit, if anything Alicent was pushing for Rhaenyra to wed and have a legitimate heir so that all Alicent would have to do is just be a mother to her kids but Rhaenyra was too stupid and she didn't know how to play the game and now she's crying dire wolf.

Alicent wants her kids on the throne not because Rhae lied tho

 

[SeaSnake]

You sound like Ned Stark when he was writing that Gendry was the rightful heir and Cersi ripped that paper up and threw that shit out. the law is only as strong as the muthafuckas who are enforcing it and Viserys is a beech oss neega.

Viserys words won't mean shit and they especially won't mean shit when you realize that he is asking a misogynist ass realm to not only accept his daughter as their ruler but also accept her bastard sons.

Why would anybody believe that the realm is gonna be cool with that?

thing is is this about a strong king or not no matter how strong he was once the king is dead it’s up to the next if they want to follow the rules don’t matter if weak or not

I dont think he ever even mentioned Gendry. He wrote to Stannis that Cerceis children were incest bastards and none of them had a claim. That would make Stannis the next in line

But that wasn't always the case. That's exactly what her father told her the day that he was relived as Hand. He told her she was stupid for siding with Rhaenyra because at the time Alicent did not understand how to play the game. he told her that Aegon was a true and legitimate heir that will ascend to the throne. Before he told her that Alicent was more than fine with Rhaenyra ascending to the throne. She was literally still trying to be friends with Rhaenyra back then.

I know he poisoned her. Rhaneyra is still legitimate

Might have to slide on viserys…

And Stannis agreed with Melisandre to sacrifice Gendry since he knew that Gendry would be the actual heir.

@Los216 in here getting packed.



Rest of the team Alicent niggas quiet.

 

[DMorgan]

After finding out in a room full of people that your best friend has been fucking with your mother or father.

Someone please tell me how receptive they would be towards that friend trying mend that friendship?

 

[Los216]

She's only as legitimate as the people will accept her.

or she could've just worried about herself and wed a Lord, had a son, and continue to do whatever the fuck she wanted but she didn't do that did she? Nope.

Rhaenyra spent multiple years sulking in her feelings instead of securing her own future. Why should anyone feel sorry for her?

not cuz he was rightful heir. They just wanted to sacrifice him because he had kings blood with would give them an advantage in the war using magic. Thats the whole reason he roasted Shireen too. Had nothing to do with Gendry being a rightful heir to anything

 

[SeaSnake]

Well it’s going to be beef obviously

 

[Eyerone]

if y’all still finding a way to ride with Rhae after this episode, y’all are buggin.

So some out of wedlock kids is a reason not to support somebody wow

 

[Inori]

They coulda did more with Laenas character imo. She was dope from the little we saw of her.
Hopefully her kids will get some shine

It is when you already have the disadvantage of being a woman when no woman has ever sat on the Iron Throne.

What's so hard to understand here? It's hard enough to get people to buy in to a woman sitting on the throne in the first place. Why complicate things even further by also having bastard kids?

That only makes your already unpopular claim to the throne even worse.
