All four actors for the characters have said they portrayed it that way, as well as at least one of the writers. I think amongst the actors it was actually Olivia (adult Alicent) who has been most outspoken about it. In interviews for season 1 she said she portrayed Alicent as a lesbian, but like one that’s got a lot of internalized homophobia. Like if it was a modern day story she said Alicent would be a closeted gay conservative. Also she headcanoned that Alicent got in trouble with her mother because she found out that Alicent and Rhaenyra kissed.

I had no idea 😂. I do remember the young actors in Season 1 portraying their scenes together as more than friends, but it was supposed to be interpreted in any way? Something like that... my memory escapes me.

Rhaenicent is actually the third most popular ship in the HotD tag on archive of our own! It’s at ~2k fics out of ~20k.

I caught one quick look this time and one in the last ep, but she’s really good about being subtle with it!

I would have at least made eyes at the camera at some of those comments! 8|

The little Korra and Asami moment was definitely my top favorite, but I actually think the Varrick part was also up there for me just because it reminded me the most of Ember Island Players. Like it went from a play to a mover. Plus the four way call between the villains gets me every time! Overall there’s definitely still a lot to like about this episode (Mako getting dunked on for being a fuckboy by his family and a spoiled prince is another good one), but most of it is kinda boring. Especially having Mako’s and Korra’s retellings back to back, when there’s so much overlap there. I think they should’ve either started or ended with Korra’s, although I get saving Varrick’s for last because it subverts the expectation of having the same story told for a third time only for it to be Varrick’s crack!fic version of the show.

Do you know how you plan to watch episodes 11 - 13? I would highly recommend watching those back to back 😊

Victoria

Another great reaction. I love how you piunted out the reason this episode was made as it was. Totally not the creators fault.

Korra, born and raised at the South Pole and a literal airbender who can regulate the temperature of the air around her: Asami: I brought you some tea. I thought you might be cold out here. She’s too cute!
