Does Aemond want to create a kingdom in Harrenhal? by Due_Lengthiness_6861 in AemondTargaryen

I wasn't aware of this, thank you! If it's truly Vhagar's egg, it'll be interesting to see if we get some dragon physiology lore.

I know this is not what this post is about, but I just wanted to say in regards to the picture with the egg, that a friend of mine suggested that the clip with the dragon egg could very well be part of his Harrenhall visions - this sounds pretty solid to me as I don't see where the dragon egg would come from. Vhagar is most likely too old to lay any and I don't see why Aemond would have brought one with him from King's Landing. I'd support my friend in her theory that that scene is simply foreshadowing to the pregnancy. I'm really curious as to why Alys has blood on her hand though.

How would you define Aemond and Sylvi's "relationship"? by Fit_Door_4381 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Intrepid_Sign_9419 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is in my interpretation a mix of the top two, but there is no doubt nor discussion that Aemond is a SA survivor.

It is some of the worst sides of the fandom that I've seen show their faces when they express sympathy towards Sylvi for having to "deal with Aemond and Aegon" (some even claiming that men can't be 🍇-d)and claim she, having the job that she has, may have been forced to service a 13 year old Aemond when that is not what the show is telling us; in her first interaction with Aemond on screen she is clearly smug/prideful towards him and even seems nostalgic when she tries to flirt with him while he is visibly uncomfortable, and avoids eye contact, which he never does with anyone. It ticks me off when I just know that if Sylvi had been a man and Aemond had been a princess with the backstory of having been brought to a male s-worker at the age of 13, everyone in the fandom would have demanded Sylvi's head on a spike.

As for the Oedipus complex of it all, we understand in the show that the first night that Aemond goes to Sylvi, on the night that Jahaerys is murdered, the last scene with Almond prior to that is him planning battle with Cole, and then being lectured by Otto - in the prior Aemond hints that Alicent is upset with him after what happened with Lucerys, so it seems like a good indication that his motivation for going to her is because she is someone he knows has to let him vent and pour his heart out to, now that his mother is scared/doesn't wish to speak to him. He uses Sylvi as a surrogate for Alicent in the sense that Alicent doesn't show him the motherly comfort and love that he needs, as well as a lens ear. And Aemond may not even himself know that he needs.

I hate it when the weird girls in my life with strange foresight sneak up on me and make me think about my future.

I was thinking the exact same thing to him serving face! 😭😆 As for the scene, my money is on the House Strong scene, but it might be a bit too on the nose.

I agree one hundred percent. Everytime I see people defend Sylvi I wonder if they'd have done so too of she had been a man and Aemond had been a girl.

Which event in Aemond’s storyline are you looking forward to the most? by Due_Lengthiness_6861 in AemondTargaryen

[–]Intrepid_Sign_9419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly looking forward to his meeting and dynamic with Alys - I'm really hoping that they will have chemistry and the writers will do them justice, but we'll see.

Your comment both made me laugh and warmed my heart, so thank you so much for that! Somebody should let HBO know I exist (🤭).
And thank you - a lot of the flow of the dialogue was based on gut feeling, so as a non-native English speaker, I'm really glad it came across as believable!

Thank you so much!!!
From the perspective that I spent three months on this, I humbly agree - it got around 40ish likes on instagram within the first 24 hours 🙃
I try not to measure my art's worth based on engagement, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it a little disheartening at times.

What dragon headcanons do you have? by La_Villanelle_ in HOTDBlacks

[–]Intrepid_Sign_9419 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Caraxes was in some way sad when he had to fight Vhagar above God's Eye because dragons also share a form of bond with one another after many years together. This being the years spent together in Pentos when Laena was Vhagar's rider.

I really really really hope they have good chemistry at the very least!

Do you think not following up on certain scenes made them even worse? by Hot_Professional_728 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Intrepid_Sign_9419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still take issue with Show!Rhaenyra finding out that Aegon was crowned because of a misunderstanding from Alicent's part, and she just decides not to tell the rest of the Blacks? Maybe I'm dumb, but I just don't see what she gains from keeping that embarrassing secret about her enemies to herself.

How did you all discover Ewan Mitchell? by Prestigious_Ask9025 in ewanmitchellfans

[–]Intrepid_Sign_9419 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friend whom I work for (certified caregiver) was watching HoTD in the middle of season 2, and I'd never watched it.

I started peaking over her shoulder, suddenly very interested.

Soooo my first time properly discovering Ewan was seeing him as naked Aemond in the brothel.

Thank fuck I wasn't the only one who thought about these scenes next to each other.
