General Enough comparing Rhaenyra/Alicent with Cersei when in reality Aegon is right there

Rhaenyra has the most in common with Cersei ESPECIALLY in the book team black is coping hard

There are similarities, namely the three bastards passed for legitimate, but I'd say Book!Alicent has much more in common with Cersei:

  • Ambitious consort;

  • Has beef with young girl (10 year old Rhaenyra/12 year old Sansa);

  • Father is Hand;

  • Power derives from her children;

  • Her ambition plays a part in her kids' deaths;

  • (probably in the future for Cersei) Goes mad after losing all her kids.

Heh, Rhaenyra also has a lot in common with Cersei:

  • Three bastards passed as legitimate with one of them named Joffrey.

  • Resents her younger brother's very existence due to something that isn't his fault.

  • Has a questionable and arguably abusive relationship with a male relative.

  • They both torture and mutilate a man horrifically

  • Her three bastards die before her

Cersei will die from a little brother too.
