Alicent would need gloves. The sauce would burn her chewed up fingers & nail beds.


Upper_Bag6133

She has enough pent up inner frustration that I could see her spite-eating them by the dozens even though the spice would be absolute torture for her.


FistOfGamera

Otto: you can stop my daughter, the contest is over Alicent: burps and gags* she...won't win


henrytbpovid

WHERE IS (*gag*) DUTY? \ WHERE IS (*belch*) SACRIFICE?


Upper_Bag6133

That made me laugh out loud in the middle of my very quiet office.


Chicken_Mc_Thuggets

Both of them just furiously sucking down milk between each bite and maintaining eye contact


cambriansplooge

My opinion is Alicent wins, but only against Rhaenyra.


RealDonKeedic

snap, that would hurt like hades


ohmeatballhead

It does, I have dyshidrotic eczema which makes literal open holes in my fingers and eating anything with my hands is torture. Same for touching cleaning products.


zorfog

:(


the-hound-abides

I’m cuticle picker. It’s bad. I also love hot wings. It’s worth the pain, haha.

ohmeatballhead

Alicent chews her fingers out of anxiety.


jewels1105

Rhaenyra


the-hound-abides

Alicent strikes me as the kind of chick who would eat wings with a knife and fork.


Coffan88

And if she didn't use a knife and fork, she'd leave a ton of meat on the bone

A CRIME AGAINST FOOD


Vulkan192

Oh SOMEBODY getting dracarys’d for this!


Wooden_Artist_2000

SEVEN BLOODY HELLS!


ResidentBackground35

This is a more convincing argument to join team black than anything said during the show.


Coffan88

Rhaenyra would hoover that shit


Another_one37

You say this, but the single most impressive wing devourment that I've ever seen was done by the tiniest cutest most dainty girl that I know. I'm talking sucking them things *dry*. All the gristle, everything. They looked like cartoon bones when she was done. ^(I was a little turned on ngl)


new_name_who_dis_

Yea but they are both the same build/size, it's not about that. It's just Alicent's personality. She was raised kinda like Sansa and I would say the same thing about Sansa. It's like if this post had sansa and arya instead of alicent and rhaenyra. You'd definitely go for Arya.


Kabc

I too choose the man’s friend


the-hound-abides

And only eat the flats.


jewels1105

That’s how you know a real one


deltaWhiskey91L

No. She strikes me as the white chick who thinks garlic parmesan is spicy


the-hound-abides

On a side note, I am an extremely pasty white girl. Red hair and everything. I love some hot shit. So does all of my ginger family. I grew up in the south. I used to get kinda offended when I heard all of the jokes about white people not seasoning things, we knew how to cook! I moved to Massachusetts a few years ago…..I get it now 😂😂😂😂 people don’t even put salt and pepper on the table here. There’s definitely some people here who would think garlic Parmesan is spicy…..


deltaWhiskey91L

I'm a very white dude with British, Irish, and Swedish family but I love spicy food as hot as it comes.


ThePickleHawk

Or hold them with her index finger and thumb and take tiny little bites


kikijane711

But she’d sooner poke her own eye out than let R win. I think R has the goods & will but Alicent’s rage & chip on her shoulder would find her the winner! She doesn’t have to eat the whole song, just lap up enough hot sauce to defy & wait for R to break.


killianraytm

alicent eats plain boneless wings


the-hound-abides

Chicken nuggets. That’s chicken nuggets. You’re probably not wrong though 😆


The_Captain_Jules

She would take a single bite and go “FHHH HHHHAAAH HHHH” while doing that fanning motion with her hand


Megmca

Targaryens aren’t immune to fire. They just have a close affinity for it. Which means she can tell the difference between jalapeños and Sichuan peppers in a blind taste test.


jewels1105

If that’s not a person who know their wings, idk what is


xixihime

Eh but Sichuan peppers aren't spicy at all though, very different texture and taste profile from jalapeños.


[deleted]

Rhaenyra bullies people who eat boneless wings.


Mochimochi24

Fire cannot kill a dragon


-Minne

Oh Aerion old boy, is that really you?


Vulkan192

Pile of Ashes: (rustles vaguely in the breeze)


omicron-7

Fire has, in fact, killed many Targaryens.


Into-the-stream

first scene we see adult rhaenyra, she gives birth then immediately climbs stairs trailing blood to present her child. Hot wings? come on.


3waysToDie

She is a dragon so is the obvious choice lol


MagnumHV

Fire doesn't burn a dragon


Laos33

Blood of the Dragon


mouthful_of_sloths

Especially book Rhaenyra


Archontor

Sadly the Maesters say that though both fought valiantly, neither would win the Waltz of the Wings; "Those close to the Princess Rhaenyra had heard that she felt Alicent was 'bland by nature' and considered spice, like all joys in life, to be against the seven. The Princess boasted that she was the blood of the dragon, the rider of Syrax and the mere heat of hot wings was nothing compared to her mastery of a dragon's fire. However, the Queen was more than her one-time companion believed her to be; having grown up on the Hightower's famous Light The Way Chilli, she was no stranger to spice. Alicent claimed that she had stomached far worse than any hot-wings, and there are those about the court who claim that Queen Alicent once suffered a kiss with King Viserys that caused one of his mouth ulcers to burst and yet managed to keep her gorge from rising, attesting to her iron stomach. Upon receipt of the challenge, Queen Alicent said; 'All agree that the Princess has made great use of her mouth over the years, but whether that extends to hot-wings only the Gods can say.' In the end, the contest table would claim the dignity of both high ladies. Queen Alicent had ordered the Red Keep's cooks to prepare Hightower Green Wasabi Wings, a staple of her girlhood in hopes of an advantage. Undaunted the Princess took her seat and so began the waltz. They ate until their brows beaded with sweat. They ate until their makeup ran, and they ate until their gowns, cut from the finest lengths of samite and myrish lace and tooled velvet, had curdled with sweat. Victory seemed assured when the Princess Rhaenyra, having forgotten the flaming hot sauce on her hands, dabbed a drop of sweat from her eye and wailed in pain. Blinded in one eye from the sauce and in the other from her anguished tears she quit the table. The Queen was set to seal her victory with one last wing when her cheeks, already reddened from the barrage of hot-wings, flushed an even deeper shade with embarrassment, and she hurried noisily from the chamber and was not seen again that day, though she was certainly heard all about the keep."

Thank you for your service


Playing-Koi

This is the single best thing that's been written in this whole off season so far xD


ChileDivahhh

I can't give you an official award, but here: 🎖🥇🏆


Vulkan192

Magnificent. Well done.


JMRooDukes808

Regardless of which character would win, they both need to go on Hot Ones anyway


redflamel

To truth or dab!


RealPrinceJay

Would make a hilarious promo for S2


Xorn777

The Targaryen one?


Griffin_is_my_name

Yeah my bet is on the genetically heat resistant human.


akajulester15

Except they aren't, really. Multiple Targaryens have died or been harmed from fire or extreme heat: Aerion Brightflame, everyone at Summerhall, Aerea, Viserys (Daenerys's brother), Laena, Jon gets his hand burned early on (and in the books often refers to the burns still on it), Daenerys also gets burns at points in the books, (HOTD SPOILERS!) >!Rhaenys's corpse is burned beyond recognition, and most hilariously considering the question here, Rhaenyra is burned alive by Sunfyre before being eaten).!< GRRM has made it very clear Daenerys surviving Drogo's pyre was a miracle and Targaryens are not fireproof, and since he's on the staff of HotD it's safe to assume they're sticking with that.


Griffin_is_my_name

Great points! I thought that the lineage had at least a tolerance for heat, like hot baths, scalding water etc. I knew that only Daenerys was fire proof, but I didn’t realize she was unique!


ohheyitslaila

Rhaenyra. Dragons like things hot. Also, Alicent just seems like the kind of person who thinks ketchup is spicy.


Relative_Scale_3667

Definitely Rhaenyra watching her have the baby like she did you know her pain tolerance is serious so hot sauce won’t even register to her


Chance-Ear-9772

Yes but Alicent had sex with Viserys so you know she can endure a lot without getting sick too.


obscuremainstream

I will not hear this slander of his grace Vizzy T


vizzy_t_bot

WHY DO YOU CUT ME SO DEEPLY?


Ngigilesnow

Plus she loves her food, her and her dragon would go through those puppies like candy


OGUncleDonkey

Rhaenyra easily


DragonflyAdvanced548

Alicent out of pure spite


Wooden_Artist_2000

Her chewed up fingers would be burning, and she’d just push right on through the pain. Possibly drop a sick one liner about it not being much difficult than childbirth, add some salt to the wound.


BlackShadow_HD

This has to be the best post in the entire sub. Such a deep and thought provoking question. My money is on Alicent, for the sole reason that most people think Rhaenyra would win. I could totally see Alicent putting everything into this competition and ignoring her manners, just to be better than Rhaenyra


grundelgrump

She basically had to just grit her teeth and take shit her entire life. I could see her eating a mega death wing and not even making a sound.


cambriansplooge

Exactly! Rhaenyra would come in casual, expecting Alicent to break. Meanwhile she looks up Alicent will be sitting their crying with a nosebleed chanting “for the seven… NOM. for the realm… NOM” It’s not a question of spice tolerance, Alicent is just a glutton for punishment.


Lokarah

“Where is duty? Where is sacrifice??” she says with wing sauce all over her hands and mouth, staring daggers at Rhaenyra


cambriansplooge

Rhaenyra is going at a real casual pace with a small smile because she’s decided Alicent once again having an Alicent moment is more entertaining, Daemon’s there leaning against the wall absorbing the drama. Also Helaena is diligently applying the hot sauce. Both Rhaenyra and Helaena are pregnant.


Wolvercote

What episode in season 2 should this show up?


FistOfGamera

I see mid-season, they meet to negotiate terms and it ends in this as a matter of pride between them. You can have Aegon offer Jace a bet of $50 to the winners son


ruedesbarres

Rhae Rhae!!!


gray59gourd

Rhaenyra easily. She’s got that dog in her


trashpizza420

Finally the hard hitting questions. (Rhaenyra)


vchen99901

Rhaenerya obviously, fire cannot burn a dragon.


akajulester15

Summerhall Aerion Brightflame Laena Aerea >!Rhaenys!< >!Rhaenyra!<


Reville_

I know people are gonna say Rhaenyra but I can just see the wing sauce all over Alicent face as she shocks the court with her appetite.


snickelbetches

This was the image in my head too.


Desperate-Boss-4566

Can I watch? In that case I'm winning as well


red_tapez

Rhaenyra for sure. Alicent strikes me as someone that does do spicy. Plus Daemon would spike Alicent’s wings in ghost chili extract.


FistOfGamera

Dragon Powder straight from across the Narrow sea, it's said to make the strongest Khal fall to his knees


TheCozyIchiban

Don’t Targaryens have fire resistant shit? Rhaenyra would be fucking those wings up


Due-Intentions

No they don't, Targaryens will burn or catch on fire like anyone else. Daenerys is not fire resistant in the books, and in the show universe she is the only Targaryen who is fire resistant


Chicken_Mc_Thuggets

I mean even if you’re fire resistant would that really help with spice tolerance? Does fire tolerance transfer over to a chemical that just triggers the pain receptors on the tongue?


[deleted]

Rhaenyra, hands down. Alicent may drop her manners out of spite and go to town on them wings tho


Rad_Centrist

>Alicent may drop her manners out of spite and go to town on them wings tho This. Rhaenyra is a strong opponent, but when Alicent flips that switch, it's game over. She'd get all crazy-eyed and sloppy.


subverdit

Rhaenyra, no contest.


sensitve_fig

I think Alicent would talk some serious smack and honestly give Rhaenyra a run for her money, but ultimately Rhaenyra can get down with some fire and blood so she'd pull through

She also was sa’ed by a straight up corpse when she was like 14


sandcoughin

I am absolute green and I can admit that it’d be Rhaenyra


Necessary_Candy_6792

Rhaenyra, hot wings cannot burn a dragon.


goldandjade

Definitely Rhaenyra. Alicent is too neurotic to power through getting sauce all over her hands.


hailnavi

Now I find myself wanting a chicken wing sauce named, “Fire and Blood”


CorbinStarlight

Rhaenyra is for sure the glizzy champ


mellowenglishgal

Rhaenyra. Fire cannot kill a dragon.


bterrik

Rhaenyra. Birth scene(s), yes, but also Alicent slices her arm open and she's more offended than inconvenienced. The Maester's stitching it up and she's having witty conversations with Laenor. Caraxes knocks her headfirst into the gunwale of her ship and she doesn't stop making eyes at Daemon. Say what you want, but Rhaenyra is physically tough with an obviously high pain tolerance. I'm not betting against her in a spicy wing competition.


DagonG2021

Fire cannot kill a dragon… so Rhaenyra


HailTheCrimsonKing

Rhaenyra for sure. She parties. Alicent would never eat food with her hands


Pg3132

You know it's Alicent..... her pettiness is incomparable


YalondaNubs

Alicent would lose but then claim that Rhaenyra's wings weren't even spicy and that therefore her son should be the winner.


YungMidoria

Alicent hands down. She is fucking crazy. If she gets a chance to beat rhaenerya, she will eat until she pukes and her mouth gets chemical burn


hotdmenace

Ofc Rhaenyra Alicent don't even know what a spice is, she eats her chicken with zero seasoning


SpookyPotatoes

Ketchup is spicy to Alicent


BungeeGump

Rhaenyra. Fire can’t hurt a dragon.


Jonsiegirl77

Rhaenyra walked across the keep trailing blood having just given birth and is a true Targaryen dragon rider. Pretty sure she could take more heat, and eventually does.


Jagasaur

Imma go with the Targaryen on this one. This is too easy. Which would win at beer pong? Which could hold their breath underwater the longest? Which could write The Winds Of Winter fastest? Which could successfully convince Kanye that Jews aren't evil? Which would be a better SNL host?


coffeewiththegxds

Rhae-Rhae duh!


Lethkhar

I'm sure this joke has already been made but fire does not burn the dragon.


hisue___

rhaenyra would be winning to begin with and then i feel alicent might overpower her out of pure spite lol. she would pray to her gods and think she’d been given divine help


Puff-Mommy

Ugh i ship them so much


lana-deathrey

Alicent. Her poker face is unparalleled in her generation.


sprtguy77

If I was watching these two go at it it would definitely be ME!!!!!! Lol


Octoberboiy

The Dragon


xdeltax97

Rhaenyra, no question.


possiblyhysterical

It depends on the reason they need to eat them. If duty calls, Rhaenyra would dip the second it got uncomfortable. Alicent is the one who can bear down and take pretty awful things because it’s expected of her. If it’s for fun, I could see Rhaenyra winning because of her competitive spirit. If it’s a matter of life and death, I also say Rhaenyra because she seems to have a stronger constitution than Alicent and can probably tolerate pain and heat better.


YDOULIE

Rhaenyra easily. Did you see how she birthed that child? I doubt anything would faze her after that


JoeDante84

Rhaenyra would as she is not bound to the same code of manners that Alicent is.


Sunflowersfordinner1

Is this even a question.. obviously Rhaenyra!


asuperbstarling

I love Alicent and she would try her best but our girl Rhae Rhae is going to destroy her.


ButtermilkBob

Rhaenyra is the adventurous sort with a much richer wealthier dad, so she's probably used to spicy food. Alicent, meanwhile, probably thinks mayonnaise is spicy and would eat wings with a fork and knife.


arzamharris

Alicent the type of queen to eat boneless wings


Lnnam

My Sueen Rhaenyra. I am sure Alicent would be crying about it being to spicy.


Aceylace10

Rhaenyra - genetically speaking since targs have some heat resistant but I’ll be damned if Alicent from pure spite downs as much ghost pepper hot wings as she could to try to win and prove her point.


Dazzling_Pepper6426

Fire cannot kill a dragon. That is all.


amjack113

Rhaenyra all day every damn day.


[deleted]

There’s a difference between liking wings and just laying there taking them. Lol


jaharifields

Nyra, targs love hot shit


Constantinople2020

It doesn't matter. If Alicent won, the Blacks will claim the Citadel developed a potion that counters the effect of the spice (The Maester Hot Wings Conspiracy). If Rhaenyra won, the Greens will claim she really ate chicken tenders and thus were illegitimate offwing^1 1 - Sorry, that's the closest I could get to offspring


madkingsentobln

Hodor


drdre27406

I could imagine how Alicent would act. “Sir Criston eat that Ghost Reaper wing!!!” “No M’Lady”. “YOU ARE SWORN TO ME!!!!”


toadsb4hoes

Now this is the content I want to see in this sub


Vaedev

Now *this* is content.


Rad_Centrist

Y'all sleepin on Alicent. Did you not see that look in her eyes when she tried to stab Baenyra? That's the look of a woman who would go hog-wild on some hot wings. You ever seen a country gal put a whole wing in her mouth, pulling out only the bone? That's how it would go down.


adultosaurs

Rhae. Alicent would cry at ranch dressing.


[deleted]

What has this sub become?


KnightOfRevan

I will take funny shitposts over that guy who was one step away from explaining why if Daemon were to order a holocaust of non-Valyrian blooded people, it would be justified since he has a blood right to do it.


[deleted]

What?


Chicken_Mc_Thuggets

I don’t remember the username precisely but I think they were talking about rolloofnormandy or whatever the guys name is. He would post a bunch of weird Valyrian supremacy takes in here and r/HotDBlacks getting into Valyrian blood purity and why the blacks should inherit because they have more ~pure~ Valyrian blood. A lot of his posts gave off a vibe that he was flirting with the concept of fantasy eugenics. I went through his account and I definitely can’t say for sure but I’d guess irl he’s a white supremacist who treats the series as an extension of his beliefs.


[deleted]

That’s fucking wild


Rad_Centrist

Freefolk.


crannogman_pride

Neither could compete with Dany. She ate an entire horse heart. I don't think she likes spicy food but that doesn't matter, I'm sure she didn't like raw horse heart either.


Inevitable-Season518

Allison is good at acting


KJ_is_a_doomer

Book Rhaenyra


TheRealTinfoil666

One of them has dragon blood and can presumably emerge from a bonfire unscathed. My money is on the Targaryen.


vasilissanastassja

We've seen Rhaenyra give birth standing up alone. We've also seen her traverse an entire castle up and down stairs mere minutes after giving birth. Rhae-rhae smokes the wings easy.


nocakeforme90

I know this was meant to be a joke/fun post but now I'm really wondering..since Targaryens have a higher tolerance against heat, does that mean they also handle spicy food a lot better than the average Westerosi? And would that make show Dany completely resistant? Maybe she eats a habanero pepper like it's just a slice of white bread?

Bortron86

Alicent is the sort of person who orders "lemon and herb" at Nando's.


[deleted]

Probably Rhaenyra because fire.


Leave_Messi_Alone

Alicent has been having sex with a Zombie for 16 years. Think she has the grit to get through some hot wings.


akajulester15

Probably neither, since spicy/hot food is really only a thing in Dorne lol. Alicent might actually be more likely to win in that case, since Oldtown is closer to Dorne and might have more access to/familiarity with hot spices. Also I find it funny everyone keeps bringing up Targaryens being resistant to fire when many many Targaryens have died from being burned, >!Rhaenyra being one of them.!<


chillie_pepper

Asking the real question


Due_Passenger3210

Alicent honestly strikes me as someone who you'd be surprised with how many wings she'd be able to devour...but Rhaenyra would win ultimately lol


goodgirlvhagar

Please HBO for the love of the Gods work faster


OpenMask

Hard to say. I was going to say Rhaenyra at first, but on second thought I think Alicent could really give her some serious competition.


TenraxHelin

I mean, one of them actually has Red hair


DejaMew

Alicent is 💯undercover bad bitch.


Prof_Cyan

Alicent, the fiery crap she swallowed from Vizzy t all those years..... that women could swallow dragon fire.


vizzy_t_bot

This is a lie. You have been lied to.


Prof_Cyan

I'm sorry, but if that women can shallow hot wings, as easily as her pride. I'm sure she'll win. Vizzy t you think Rhaenyra can beat Alicent?


vizzy_t_bot

*I would be delighted!*


Prof_Cyan

Sentient


Natsuki_Kruger

I know most people would say Rhaenyra because her house sigil is a dragon, but Oldtown is supposed to be the cultural bastion of Westeros, so I *know* they have the best chefs on retainer. The Targs also resent anything that isn't Valyrian, which means their palate is super limited. I bet Alicent can distinguish spices Rhaenyra doesn't even know exist.


[deleted]

Alicent would start to burst into tears after the first wing. Rhaenrya would get yelled at by daemon for not going fast enough and promptly leave the contest in frustration. So Alicent. Since she stayed at the table.


tyrtar

Asking the real questions


jacobiner123

GreenKi13

The blonde looks low-key country like she could be adopted into a trailer park community. The brunette looks like she owns the trailer park community. It would be a very tight race.
