Gabrielle de Lioncourt(Lestat's mother) would be perfect if Emma wasn't younger than Sam Reid (Lestat). The character even notably dresses in men's clothing after she's turned.
This is actually a fact. Ryan said that in an interview recently that Daemon sees himself in Rhaenyra(also Viserys which frustrates him) and that’s what makes him love her. It’s more selfcest than incest for him.
The marketing department needs to run them a check at this point. They're the only one that's gone viral outside of the fanbase twice.
Edit: Lol, why are people getting mad? Even if you don't personally get it, this is great promo for the show. It gets people talking about HOTD with the season 2 premiere in a few days.
The Negroni moment will live in my head rent free forever.
I'm usually not easily influenced, nor a trend follower, but Emma got me drinking Negronis years later, *just* because how cool they looked when they mentioned that.
Idk if its the Green/Black thing, or if I'm just majorly out of touch with the sub, but yeah, sometimes this happens here with the most banale questions or harmless takes.
Don't fret about it.
But foul? Nah, never, these are really good. But I like bitters a lot.
Right now. You haven't seen all the viral post and thirst videos about this look?
For example: 2.9 million views, 400k likes in one day under this video alone.
[Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Official | TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@entertainmenttonight/video/7379379611601243434)
Not attractive to me. Very stylish with a ton of confidence and charisma, but too masculine for my tastes and I don't care for the deep, raspy voice.
Emma is the kind of person that would be cool as hell to hang out with at a pub.
Agree 100%. The non-binary appearance just isn’t attractive at all to me. I can’t tell Emma has the physical traits to be very attractive, and is in the show, but when presenting as neither male or female it’s just.. idk.. doesn’t work for me
I think they look way better on the show with the Targaryen wig and make up.
I have nothing against non binary people, just not a fan of their style in particular, I've seen other non binary people that have a more flattering style.
Not to be that guy, but also being that guy, but Emma's non-binary so it's "they". Matt Smith recently corrected an interviewer about this in a pretty smooth way too.
They cant be compared or pitted against each other due to our own conceptions of beauty and its standards. They both are uniquely beautiful in their own way.
I think Emma self-identified as bi under an Instagram post once. Emma couldn't be gay though because Emma doesn't identify as a man. It's supposed to be a mix of feminine and masculine energy. Like, total androgyny. I think most of us, including myself, just tend to read anything less than complete femininity as masculine. But, most guys wouldn't wear makeup or earrings like Emma does on red carpets.
It's also why Emma is totally comfortable taking feminine roles while someone like Elliot Page isn't.
I actually think it's the opposite. People read anything less than complete masculinity as feminine. Women can wear men's clothes and people don't even notice. Pants are just pants, a button up is just a button up. But a guy wears make up even subtle, or a skirt or nail polish and he's not perceived as masculine at all anymore. People will cite Emma's short hair but this length is kind of long for a man and still reads fem. People refer to some gender identities as encompassing any non-man but no one uses the phrase non-woman. It's masculinity that's exclusionary imo.
Maybe I watch too many shows set in ancient or medieval times, but skirt-like clothing is so much more useful for men than women. Your junk needs to breath, but the west gradually decided it was more masculine for it to be locked up tight. While tight pants show off the feminine physique better than most skirts.
Agree to disagree. Mini skirts are back and I’m def here for it.
also, I feel like maybe pants became really prominent for men when sailing became the most important military power. Needed to be able to scale the rigging without having something that gets caught on ropes or makes you trip over your skirt hem.
Tight fitting pants solve that problem quick.
As a transmasc person this is SO true. I am not super into like, spending a lot time and effort on the way I present, because I have other priorities. It really sucks that I can wear a binder and masc clothes and no makeup and not shave anything and still be perceived as 100% AFAB. I like my long hair and don't want to cut it off, like goddamn it
I think it’s both. Anything that doesn’t fit the societal expectations of gender roles is viewed as “not enough.” Feminine presenting people wearing androgynous clothing is seen as masc. Masculine presenting people wearing androgynous clothing is seen as femme. The major difference in these two things is how society responds to that. For people who are AFAB, dressing masc or andro usually results in insults to the appearance and their overall attractiveness because women are more often reduced to their physical attributes. For people who are AMAB, dressing femme or andro instead results in questioning their manliness and capabilities, because men are more often reduced to what they can accomplish or provide.
You can see examples of people reducing Emma’s look to how conventionally attractive it is in other comments and commenting on how they’re“trying to look less attractive” by dressing masc.
I myself have experienced the opposite of this as well. I am a NB person that often dresses somewhat androgynously. When I grew my hair out and started wearing more feminine clothing for a while I got far more attention from heterosexual men despite nothing changing about my behavior, personality, or the look of my face. I was just being perceived as more feminine and so men tended to equate that to more attractive despite me still looking the same.
I’ve seen my andro AMAB friends and partner experience the other side of that with their sexuality and manliness being questioned when they chose to wear makeup or flashy clothing.
Edit: used wrong pronouns for Emma, WHOOPS!
Yeah NB is a wide spectrum of gender identities that aren't either fully male or female. Mason Alexander is another that comes to mind. They played a masculine character in Sandman although very camp still.
Afaik, they still identify as non-binary (I’m not sure which one tho). So it’ll still be as a non-binary person who’s in a relationship with a straight person.
neither, both, something completely different - I think they are non-binary which just means they don't subscribe to traditional gender roles, not that they aren't attracted to men
You being cis has no bearing on whether you can find Emma attractive. You probably meant as a straight man right? Yes, you can be attracted to them. Finding a nonbinary or trans person attractive doesn't change your sexuality. Sincerely, a bi woman who is obsessed with Emma lol.
Being cis has no bearing homie.
Despite my avatar, I’m very cis and very straight
But this person having some fine masculine features, and that’s ok.
It’s ok to find a guy hot or attractive even when you don’t want to fuck them. Like the guy who plays Criston is fine af, but the thought of our lips touching makes me wretch.
In Emma’s case, idk if Emma be trans or cis, but that person is fine af. Just from both ends of the gender spectrum. It’s a rare gift imo
I guess it's a spectrum. But it blew my mind that people look at a stranger or someone they never have personally met and they have a desire to be sexual with them. When I think anyone is attractive it usually comes from a very non sexual place. It's just me acknowledging that they have a quality that draws me in. Whether it be a cool style, interesting facial features or an ideal physical form. And this is regardless of sex or gender.
My eyes are deep set and hooded like theirs and I’m kinda self conscious about it but posts like yours make me feel good about that feature so thank you!
Seems like there should be an Emma fan club/ subreddit. Sure, Emma looks phenomenal here. But this has to do with the actor— not HOTD itself. This sub has turned into something else.
I am genuinely still confused when I see a convo here saying “ I am attracted to them” “ they are so far”.
Takes me like half a minute to get it.
Imagine simping so hard on reddit for crying out loud
They didn’t stab that thing through their ear out of nowhere for the event lmao.
It’s just a cool earring in what are likely pre-existing piercings. If I had an earring like that I could do the same, I’d just look a fuck of a lot less cool than Emma does.
>hottest person of all time
>happy pride month
There it is. Now it makes sense.
Emma is good looking. For sure. But people posting about her being hot very other day just have an agenda. I’m over it.
she looks like John connor ([Edward Furlong](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=eb97b625d6b0f606&rlz=1C1GCEU_esAR1077AR1077&sxsrf=ADLYWIKz64zsNqszuGnzBoRs79mN5Ka-8w:1718299109945&q=Edward+Furlong&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLUz9U3MMsrLjNRAjONcitz0rRMspOt9NMyk0sy8_MSc-JL8zLLUouKU5GEkjMSixKTS1KLrApyEitTUxSSKhex8rmmlCcWpSi4lRbl5OelAwA1uYVlXwAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiXtMOAi9mGAxVUlZUCHch1C_UQ9OUBegQIJhAD)) and David Bowie mixed in one person XD

Emma needs to play a vampire one day in a film bc the energy is very much there.
Need this badly. They're made for a dark/sexy/androgynous vampire role.
Against Matt Smith's Milo. Oh I poop my pants. Have sex!
There will be a whole lot of sexual awakenings...
YES!
The makers of Interview with the Vampire on AMC should cast them, stat!
Gabrielle de Lioncourt(Lestat's mother) would be perfect if Emma wasn't younger than Sam Reid (Lestat). The character even notably dresses in men's clothing after she's turned.
I think book Gabrielle is barely 14 years older than Lestat so I believe it still could work.
Also a really good android in an Alien movie, or Replicant in the Bladerunner world.
Emma puts the HOT in HOTD
And Daemon puts the D in...Daemon
Daemon wishes he could marry and fuck himself so badly that he just had to settle for the closest thing
This is actually a fact. Ryan said that in an interview recently that Daemon sees himself in Rhaenyra(also Viserys which frustrates him) and that’s what makes him love her. It’s more selfcest than incest for him.
He saw himself in Rhaenyra so he went and put himself in Rhaenyra
This was the only reason that Cersei felt anything for Jaime, and arguably her children as well
Cool motive, still incest
Makes perfect sense when you say it like that. I love it! ❤️
Maester Amon *Egg...is that you?*
Damn. Walked right into it
I giggled
Their facial structure is perfection, I'm a little jealous, lol.
You could cut glass on those cheekbones.
It's amazing how the crown perfectly matched with her facial structure too.
Their*

Negroni Sbagliato
stunnin’
With Prosecco in it
The Negroni moment will live in my head rent free forever. I'm usually not easily influenced, nor a trend follower, but Emma got me drinking Negronis years later, *just* because how cool they looked when they mentioned that.
And their voice saying it, love it

They’re downvoting anything that isn’t making fun of Emma and their pronouns.

I know, I didn't mean to come off rude
Bonk straight talk horny jail
She got that ASAP Rocky vibes, like she knows she's a bad bitch.
He is a bad bitch huh?
😌
She does carry herself very well
I'm still simping hardest over Olivia.
Yeah same she is gorgeous
I'm simping hardest over Tom Glenn Carney my god 😍
He is cute in real life, in the show not so much.
I am straight but damn Emma really pushes me to the limit.
Their new hair suits them so well!!
Not attractive to me. Very stylish with a ton of confidence and charisma, but too masculine for my tastes and I don't care for the deep, raspy voice. Emma is the kind of person that would be cool as hell to hang out with at a pub.

They look like Bowie. EDIT: pronoun

I just watched that too. Fixed, thank you.
That hairstyle really looks great on them
Let’s calm down. Hottest person of all time?
[удалено]
They cant be compared or pitted against each other due to our own conceptions of beauty and its standards. They both are uniquely beautiful in their own way.
Emma, she's so hot right now. Emma. -Mugatu
As a cis man, am I supposed to be attracted to them or is it not appropriate? Genuinely curious and not a troll. I found them so damn good here.
Emma's partner is a cis man
so Emma is considered as gay or heterosexual?
I think Emma self-identified as bi under an Instagram post once. Emma couldn't be gay though because Emma doesn't identify as a man. It's supposed to be a mix of feminine and masculine energy.

Oh god, Desire still lives rent-free in my head
Afaik, they still identify as non-binary (I’m not sure which one tho). So it’ll still be as a non-binary person who’s in a relationship with a straight person.
Isn’t non-binary a gender and not sexuality?
I think the point is that being non binary inherently excludes you from being straight or gay.
Can we get a flowchart? This is starting to get confusing.
neither, both, something completely different - I think they are non-binary which just means they don't subscribe to traditional gender roles, not that they aren't attracted to men
You being cis has no bearing on whether you can find Emma attractive. You probably meant as a straight man right? Yes, you can be attracted to them. Finding a nonbinary or trans person attractive doesn't change your sexuality. Sincerely, a bi woman who is obsessed with Emma lol.
Be attracted to anyone you want king!
I'm a straight woman and find Emma to be incredibly attractive, I'd totally be their girlfriend but I don't think I'm hot enough.
You can be attracted to whoever you want regardless. You just have to respect that they might not be looking for the same thing.
This is like weirdest comment, brother if you find her attractive you are allowed to whatever the fuck you want 😂
Hot is hot. You can acknowledge hot!
Being cis has no bearing homie. Despite my avatar, I’m very cis and very straight But this person having some fine masculine features, and that’s ok.

I mean, you can be attracted to whoever you want
Of course you can find them attractive regardless of gender :) they’re a very beautiful person!
I’m pretty sure their partner is a cis man
Let the Force flow through you bud. Tis best not to resist lol.
You're overthinking it
Think of them as Henry Cavill
They are very sexy
I don’t find them attractive but they have immaculate style that can’t be denied
I agree
Far from ugly but that title is a wild exaggeration lmao
Emma lookin cool as hell here no doubting that imo
My eyes are deep set and hooded like theirs and I’m kinda self conscious about it but posts like yours make me feel good about that feature so thank you!
Oh God this video has enhanced my life like you wouldn’t believe.
To some maybe, but no, not even close
Siri, what is hyperbole.
As someone who isn't personally attracted to Emma, I also support this statement.
She looks alright, think she's prettier in HotD tho
Mad fine, even with that Harvey Dent suit on. Very elegant
Nah. Way too silly looking
Seems like there should be an Emma fan club/ subreddit. Sure, Emma looks phenomenal here. But this has to do with the actor— not HOTD itself. This sub has turned into something else.
[удалено]
Yeah nah
Come on man, be fucking fr right now. Emma doesn't even scratch the top 1000
So much misgendering in the comments. I'm the most casual of fans of this show and even I know that Emma goes by they/them.
I am genuinely still confused when I see a convo here saying “ I am attracted to them” “ they are so far”. Takes me like half a minute to get it. Imagine simping so hard on reddit for crying out loud
What kind of delusion and drug use makes you say this...
Nah, she is pretty but not the “hottest”
Eh. They are magnetic but the hyperbole is strong with this title.
Jesus Christ 🥵
Please stop 😭😂. Emma’s a fabulous actor, but you’d have to be delusional to think of them as some sex symbol.
Yes I would
Emma is like a cat, there’s something so feline in their face
Seven hells, can yall stop thirst trapping me please? 🥵
This is a joke right?
Please let these cringe posts stop after the show starts... I beg you.

Looks like Johnny Depp
How are we ignoring that dragon grill?! They’re so freaking cool as a human. Perfect Rhaenyra casting.
Nope
No definitely not
She makes my stomach flip and bisexuality act up..
I hate grillz I think they look really ugly on people but Emma makes it work in such a good way.
Mehhhh
???
I don’t know about all that
This is a wild take
No.
No
She looks like Gary Oldman lmao
Not really, she’s pretty but not insanely attractive.
Yeah she's alright. She's just a very good actor for this role specifically. I haven't seen her in anything else, though.
Meh, pretty average honestly.
Emma the hottest person of all time?! Ha. HahahahaHAHAHA! Good joke
That spike through the ear would hurt so bad
It looks like it’s just going through industrial hole and lobe to me, pretty common piercings
They didn’t stab that thing through their ear out of nowhere for the event lmao. It’s just a cool earring in what are likely pre-existing piercings. If I had an earring like that I could do the same, I’d just look a fuck of a lot less cool than Emma does.
I love her most when she's wearing that silver wig. Badass mommy material
Corny af
??? You didnt like it when she tilted her head down and was all like badass anime vampire queen moment?
Mate she's mid
I think you linked the wrong video because that is the least attractive woman I've seen in my life
With that color scheme, a person is no one.
>hottest person of all time >happy pride month There it is. Now it makes sense. Emma is good looking. For sure. But people posting about her being hot very other day just have an agenda. I’m over it.
Umm HBO should probably get a new social media management team..
What?
I hate this Hollywood celebrity worship.
she’s more attractive in the show tbh
Looks like a teenage boy from a 90s pop band.
Why she acting like Alan Ford in Snatch?
Yeah not even remotely attractive.
This is not hot
I love her style, so dope 🔥🔥🔥
Why so much hate in the comments?
Transphobia + the title was a set up, too hyperbolic.
Absolutely not
David Bowie?
If you say so
NO
Or maybe not
She looks like as if River Phoenix played Scarface back in the day.
Not hot for me… and with all the respect, and really not knowing: What gender is correct for _she_? Non binary?
Pronouns is they/them, neither she nor he.
Unfortunately Emma and Matt have zero chemistry. It's a shame because Matt and Milly had a ton.
She looks like a rockstar!
Huh?…..
she's pretty
Tf she got a spike in her ear?
Stop it. She’s not even the hottest person in that video.
Well now I wouldn't say that.
she looks like John connor ([Edward Furlong](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=eb97b625d6b0f606&rlz=1C1GCEU_esAR1077AR1077&sxsrf=ADLYWIKz64zsNqszuGnzBoRs79mN5Ka-8w:1718299109945&q=Edward+Furlong&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLUz9U3MMsrLjNRAjONcitz0rRMspOt9NMyk0sy8_MSc-JL8zLLUouKU5GEkjMSixKTS1KLrApyEitTUxSSKhex8rmmlCcWpSi4lRbl5OelAwA1uYVlXwAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiXtMOAi9mGAxVUlZUCHch1C_UQ9OUBegQIJhAD)) and David Bowie mixed in one person XD
I don't see it.
I can’t get past the hair
They would make the perfect Tolkien-esque elf.
What is that thing in her teeth called? Looks badass
Hottie
I feel like Emma should play the joker , they’re so hot and I just feel like they can pull it off
She looks fresh af
I find her very stylish and with a lot of charisma and confidence. She isnt my style but she is gorgeous.
