[Warning: Spoilers for HBO’s “House of the Dragon” Episode 9, “The Green Council,” ahead.]
Brothels acquired nothin’ on a foot fetish.
Followers have been left cringing over a second in “Home of the Dragon” on Sunday that even the episode’s director referred to as a “actually soiled scene.”
Whereas delivering gossip that may assist Queen Alicent Hightower’s backside line — putting her son Aegon on the Iron Throne in a hostile Westeros takeover — Larys Robust asks for one thing in return whereas the pair rendezvous in her bedchamber.
However it appears Alicent has been lent a serving to hand in trade for her toes.
As Larys, performed by Matthew Needham, begins to spill the tea, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) begins to take off her sneakers and stockings and locations her naked toes on the espresso desk. Larys then informs her of an internet of spies within the Purple Hold — led by the “White Worm” Mysaria and aided by considered one of her servants in an operation her father, Otto Hightower, is aware of about — as he stares at her canines.
However it doesn’t cease there. Larys presents to take out a few of the spies, however he expects cost for his loyalty. That’s when the queen props her toes up on a chair, the place he begins to pleasure himself whereas watching her hooves.
The uncomfortable scenario doesn’t seem to be it was the primary time the queen had put her greatest foot ahead, both. Larys — who's nicknamed Clubfoot on account of his delivery defect — proclaimed himself an Alicent ally way back, and whereas he’s usually the one to offer the queen data, it seems they’ve been by way of this fetish routine earlier than as a reward in trade for his gossip. At the least now, her husband King Viserys I Targaryen is lifeless.
Clare Kilner, who directed Episode 9, described it to Leisure Weekly as “taking a look at her toes after which having a wank, mainly.”
Whereas intimacy coordinators have been used for lots of the different sexual scenes for the present, Kilner mentioned the foot-fetish scene was filmed with out one.

“It’s so intrusive and invasive,” she added. “It’s a extremely soiled scene.”
Followers appeared to agree, with many on Twitter calling it “gross” and expressing shock and disgust over the “soiled” second — a feat contemplating the violence, gore and incest that frequent the present.
“I can't imagine Larys killed his household for toes pics,” wrote one fan, in reference to Episode 6 when Larys ordered his father Lyonel Robust and brother Harwin Robust murdered.
“I would like somebody to inform me why that Larys scene was crucial. PLEASE,” chimed in one other, whereas another person added, “Larys Robust is a nasty man.”
“It’s the way in which alicent was already taking her sneakers and socks off with out larys even having to say something. like y’all completed this earlier than??!” mused one other.
“Larys is so nasty what within the hell am i watching??” another person added.
“Are u telling me alicent has been feeding lord larys foot fetish in return for his service?????” wrote one “Home of the Dragon” fan. “AND LETTING HIM J – – Ok OFF IN FRONT OF HER??? and i assumed this present couldn’t worsen.”
“I’m sorry I used to be not ready for Alicent’s Onlyfans dwell present for Larys,” added one other.
“Alicent Hightower promoting toes pics for data to Larys Robust was not on my bingo card for tonight’s episode,” mentioned one other.
