The Rhaenyra-Mysaria kiss has further fueled fans' fervor for shipping Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower and reveals a wider thirst for messy depictions of queerness on TV.
’s run, we’ve seen Rhaenyra Targaryen’s journey from heir to Team Black’s Queen, and she’s always been depicted as straight. She birthed three children through her lover Harwin Strong and had three more through her marriage to her uncle Daemon , though only two survived. That is, until now. Sunday’s episode revealed a surprising twist of events when the Dragon Queen and Mysaria , a former sex worker who has become a trusted adviser, find themselves closer than ever — with a romantic kiss.
Fans have long speculated that Rhaenyra’s interest for a different brown-eyed woman was more than platonic, but now that her sexuality is confirmed to be more fluid than we thought, the Rhaenyra-Mysaria kiss has further fueled fans' fervor for shipping Rhaenyra and her childhood friend-turned-complicated foe Alicent Hightower and reveals a wider thirst for messy depictions of queerness on TV.
Appetites for dynamics such as Rhaenicent show we desperately need more queer characters in all variations, including amoral, messy sapphic situationships.in a high fantasy show where oftentime queer characters don't have much opportunity for screen time, let alone allowed to be as feral as audiences would like. Paige Alexander is fine.
