『 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 』
House Of Dragon
There were leaked deleted scenes from House of the Dragon, and I died a little inside when I saw them. They deleted some of the best scenes in the entire show! One of the most impactful deleted scenes was Rhaenyra confronting Alicent after Rhaenyra's father announced he would be marrying Alicent. In this scene, Rhaenyra yells at Alicent, accusing her of betrayal. Alicent, in tears, begs for Rhaenyra's forgiveness. It was such an intense and emotional moment, like a punch in the stomach. The raw emotion and the depth of their friendship and betrayal were palpable. The next deleted scene takes place after months of silence between the two. Rhaenyra is asked to help Alicent get ready for her wedding. The scene shows Rhaenyra holding Alicent, promising her that everything would be alright. It was such a beautiful and tender moment, showcasing the complexity of their relationship. The way Rhaenyra comforted Alicent, despite the betrayal she felt, was incredibly moving and added so much depth to their characters. I also found out that one of the directors mentioned that Rhaenyra and Alicent did love each other but were forced apart by the men in their lives. This revelation adds another layer of tragedy to their story. Their relationship was not just about political alliances and power struggles; it was also about genuine affection and love that was torn apart by external forces. Knowing this makes their interactions even more heartbreaking and poignant. These deleted scenes would have added so much to the show, providing a deeper understanding of Rhaenyra and Alicent's relationship and the emotional turmoil they both experienced. It's a shame they were cut, but at least we have these glimpses to appreciate what could have been. I can't help but imagine how these scenes would have enriched the narrative and made the audience connect even more with their characters.
I saw some art of Rhaenyra and Alicent, but in the video, it was Rhaenyra going with Alicent rather than saying no. I think about Rhaenyra and Alicent too much, like what if Alicent never married and Rhaenyra and she ran away together as children because she wasn't the only child. In my mind, that's what happened since it's canon that they loved each other as children and still do, and everyone in their family knows that. Even their children know they hold love for each other. But back to the video, it was them eating cake, saying they should return to their children soon. Also, a random thing I found out is that Alicent now stays in Rhaenyra's old room and changed it so it was similar to the way Rhaenyra had it.
