hearing on podcasts that alicent's actress is queer and was playing the relationship as if they were more than friends. so yeah the vibes your picking up on were put out there. but they still have to be inferred; they are not yet (and at this point will likely never be) explicit

though for a change i didn't particularly get that vibe, and recently i have been very stunned when showrunners are trying to create romantic subtext

If only her played it that way that would imply at most the thirstiness is one-way or that she's the needy one, and we've also seen that she has not much of a problem in becoming the queen thus distancing from Rhaenyra. If it had been the Rhaenyra actress playing it that way then it'd make more sense.

I felt more chemistry between Alicent and the king, as again, I don't see her struggling at all in the role that her dad put her into, unless she either respects her dad that much or she somehow really is that power hungry taking precedence over any other feelings.
