Imagine being an actor, go beyond your limits, putting all of you in the scene, and it gets cut down. And you won’t be even nominated for Emmy, even though you are the best thing in the whole season. You did something that not every actor can – made an unlikable character into something real and raw, even though writers butchered your character with every single decision.
Haters will see a traumatized young girl and b like: why isn’t she acting in a logical and reasonable manner???? n then praise male characters for the exact same behavior
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about how the half of Viserys’s face that’s rotting facing the greens and the half that’s fine facing the blacks is symbolizing their badness and goodness but I’d argue differently. The rotting side faces the greens because they are the ones that deal with Viserys at his worst. Alicent is raped by him. Aemond is mutilated and denied justices. They are the ones caring for him as he rots away and they see the worst of him. The blacks get his best side. Rhaenyra gets a loving permissive father. Luceros and Jacaerys don’t get punished for what they do. He protects them against rumors of bastardry. They visit him when they want his help but have not been there for his sickness.
The two sides of Viserys’s face are about the two sides of himself and which each cohort sees.
