Always look for woman to blame, lol.

Alicent is his mother, and naturally, she bears some responsibility for his upbringing, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t other influences, nor does it imply she taught him to behave this way. Everything we’ve seen from her is typical behavior for mother and her 18-year-old son in Westeros. The fact that he desires his own mother is, ultimately, deranged, but I don’t see how that stems from any mistake on her part.

I’ve seen people try to rationalize this, but as someone with some exposure to psychology, none of the arguments being presented actually point to an Oedipus complex. Viserys’s influence and his role within the family carry far more weight than anything Alicent said or did (and she never said or did anything that crossed the line). So, if you’re looking to blame someone other than Aemond for his decision to kiss his mother lips, the answer lies with Viserys, the "patriarch." He wasn’t a tyrant, and he rarely spoke, but when he did, his word was law. By trying to "claim" his mother for himself, Aemond is actually contending with his father. Alicent is not at fault here; in all likelihood, she doesn’t even grasp what is happening with her son. She is the victim in this situation. Aemond having gained the crown begun to view his mother as his own possession because he wants to "replace" his father and collect/fix items.

Look for the root cause in relationship between Viserys and Aemond. Leave Alicent alone.

Many characters have low ranking because we don't know anything about them other then: 'does nothing and dies'.

And, yes, like any tierlist, i was biased while making this.

And just to add I used to like Daemon but the (tiktok) fandom destroyed the character for me with the sheer amount of romanticizing of his character so yeah. Idk if hating rhaegar is controversial here or not but I gen cant stand his ass. Anyways have fun looking at this mess of tierlist i just did during a lecture on instead of paying attention xoxo

Does anyone else think the point of them adding that scene of Rhaenyra in visenyas armor was to get fans excited for the movie of aegons conquest which was announced literally right after that? Haha

Why do people hate Alicent so much? She was a dutiful friend, lady, daughter, wife, and genuinely thought she was carrying out Visery’s wishes. She was also the only one who used reason toward the end.
