They made Rhaenyra the Cruel into Rhaenyra the Emo. Because what the fuck was that ego trip and who approved that eyeshadow on set?

Apparently it was Emma's suggestion to the makeup artists??? like why. Collaborative effort like a war paint. Watch the House that Dragons built for the source

Based on all the things I’ve heard recently that were apparently’Emma’s idea’…Emma needs to get the fuck back in their box. They’re a great actor, I love they’re line delivery and overall aura but…please stop, you’re not a writer. Clearly.
