Aegon: Do you think that 12 bottles of vodka is enough for the party? If not I’ll just call Hel and Aemond and ask them to pick up more after they grab Daeron and the fireworks.
Otto: This is your dads funeral??
Aegon: Yeah, that’s what I just said, the party.
*explosion in the background*
Aegon: I think Criston might need your help with the barbecue.
Wouldn’t that Driftmark scene where Viserys is like „where did you hear this from?” Be so much better if AEGON stepped in. The camera pans to Alicent and it looks Viserys is going to yell at her and then BOOM Aegon says „it was me”.
I know he does go along with Aemond but that’s because Aemond said he heard it from Aegon.
But that scene is the moment that Ageon truly realises that Alicent’s paranoia may not be just paranoia. His father clearly doesn’t care about his maimed brother.
Alicent is the only one standing up for Aemond and if she’s gone, who’s gonna protect her children then?
This would then start to show the shift in Aegon’s character from someone carefree to someone who wants to protect his family (like in the book)
Random noble person: I’m so sorry about your father, what happened to him is a tragedy.
Aegon: *turns to Criston* Did something happen to you?!
Criston: No-
Aegon: *turns to noble person* Don’t scare me like that again! I bet Aemond paid you to scare me!
Noble person: Erm . . . I’ll just go
Jaehaera: *painting Aemond’s nails*
Aemond: I just don’t know what they want from me! My plans are perfect- Hey no- You’re going outside my nails- Anyway, I think they’re just jealous. Mummy always said that I’m perfect just the way I am
Jaehaera: It’s them, not you
Aemond: Of course it’s them! I’m so happy to finally be validated in my feelings. . . Don’t forget the glitter
Aemond: Isn’t it crazy how we both have dragons?
Jaehaera: *pouring imaginary tea into Aemond’s tea cup* Yes, that’s so crazy
Aemond: *takes an imaginary sip* Do you want to commit a war crime after tea?
