no one will ever be as iconic as young aemond in the driftmark episode.
walks into a random family member's funeral that he never even met, hears vhagar, decides to seize his opportunity (because vhagar won't come to KL, being too big for the dragonpit, and it's not like he can visit dragonstone or driftmark). goes alone, at night to try and claim the biggest and most dangerous dragon alive that has just lost her rider. like i need you to understand, in ep 6 we see how the kids are allowed to approach their dog sized dragons only under heavy supervision, and even then we can clearly see jace understandably being a little nervous. aemond walked up to vhagar ALONE - VHAGAR.
he claims the biggest dragon in the world, ambushed by his former bullies and their cousins. they start accusing him of stealing and attack him 4V1. he almost wins, jace pulls a fucking knife at him, he loses his eye. his father doesn't give a fuck, his sister wants to have him tortured and he stands in front of her looks at her with his one remaining eye and says "i may have lost an eye but gain a dragon". aemond ATE rhaenyra up. he devoured and left no crumbs. he left the entire room gagged - daemon and otto included. and my man got on his dragon the very next day.
Chapter 5 is here guys
"ugh alicent wasn't a victim her experience is normal for westerosi woman" is my villain origin story.
if you're willing to normalize alicent getting maritally raped by viserys for years just because you hate her character then please do us both a favor and block me.
It's so comical when Team Black stans try to argue there would NOT in fact have been an inevitable conflict between Jacaerys and Aegon III and the Targaryen dynasty would have gone on all peachy if it was not for those pesky Greens. Their argument of course is that "Aegon III loved his brothers!!1!" actually Aegon was a ten year old child when his half brothers died of course he is going to idolize and love them, Jace or any of the Strong boys did not live long enough for their relationship to go sour. Think critically for one second.
