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
Book Rhaenyra Targaryen Aesthetic
Aemond: *takes a drag of his cigarette* It just sometimes feels like I’m the only one fighting this war, you know?
Jaehaera: *nods*
Aemond: I’m literally doing all of the work. They should appreciate me more.
Jaehaera: They should appreciate you more.
Aemond: *whispering* Finally a smart person.
NO BECAUSE THIS IS HIS SON THAT HE COULDN’T PROTECT. HE WAS THERE FOR AEGON BUT COULDN’T PROTECT HIM BECAUSE WHAT PERSON CAN STOP THE DRAGONS FROM DANCING WHEN THE SOUND OF WAR DRUMS FILL THEIR EARS.
The way that so many people make Alicent, Criston and even Aegon’s character centre around Rhaenyra so much is so annoying. Like yeah they do have connections to her but acting like their only personality trait is her is not true.
Honestly I’d say that even Baela, Rhaena and Rhaenys also suffer from this.
It’s never „these characters are connected to Rhaenyra”, it’s always „these characters live and breathe Rhaenyra.”
Let these characters be their own characters. It’s fine to talk about their relation to Rhaenyra, but to act as if they don’t have a life of their own is ridiculous.
Hotd AU where Luke gives Aemond his eye
*Comes back from Storms End*
Aemond: Mummy, I have a gift for you!
Alicent: Really? *smiles* I’m assuming that means that everything went well then
Aemond: Oh, it went better than expected *gives her a little box*
Alicent: I’m so proud of y- GREAT HEAVENS
Aemond: Mummy do you like it? 🥺
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.
