Thank you for the tag @mourning-sapphire muah

Sun Tzu is certainly something lmao

A revelation came to me and wait wait wait... wartime Cordelia and Aemond

Aw thank you <3

Would modern Cordelia and Aegon get along? Idk maybe she would enjoy hanging out with him at parties or drinking, smth like that. What would Aemond think/feel about that?

Hi, thanks for asking <3

This is a good question… modern Cordelia and Aegon would probably first meet at a party without really knowing each other. I think Aegon can be charismatic when he wants to be, so if he found Cordelia attractive, he’d put up a good front to try to take her home lmao. She might even find him somewhat good-looking in turn, though she wouldn’t be attracted to him (I mean, she’s not going to go home with some guy who does lines at the club, never mind the fact that she’s right there snorting with him).

I could see them running into each other at parties after that. However, once Cordelia realised what kind of guy he actually was, she’d be extremely put off and try to distance herself from him. But I think Aegon gets off on humiliating others, so if he found out Aemond had something for Lia, he would try harder to piss him off.

How many kids will they have in GT? I mean are we going to go that far in the story?

I know, poor Lia 😭 though Aemond would not be complaining. His level of happiness would of course depend on the triplets’ gender split:

3 boys and 0 girls: he’s happy but secretly hoping the contraception fails

2 boys and 1 girl: he’s extremely happy and might even crack a smile every once in a while

2 girls and 1 boy: he won't stop bragging to literally everyone

3 girls and 0 boys: he’s eating Cordelia out every single night, their house knows nothing but peace, and Lia won't be needing any nannies since Aemond's taking care of all the children

I kind of agree! I think modern Cordelia would at least want to wait until she established a career before even thinking about kids. I could see her wanting 1–2 max, though with her luck she’d probably end up with triplets on her first pregnancy.

Since modern Lia is Catholic, she'd be somewhat pro-life, but only for herself (she wouldn’t really care what anyone else did). So that would certainly pose some challenges... but you bet she’d be using every form of contraception available to mankind to avoid getting pregnant lmfao.

I’m going to try to foster a positive space as season 3 rolls around. I’m not saying I won’t make any critical posts if I end up having critical opinions, but overall I just want to ensure that my blog doesn’t simply become a vessel for hatred. I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions (positive, negative and anything between) though, and I will for sure be sharing mine probably before and after each episode drops!

Oh thank you so much love, you too!! 💘

8 - Do they fear being forgotten?

Cordelia does, though it isn't something she actively thinks about. One sign of this fear is that she isn't good at being alone. She and Aemond both have been sidelined and forgotten to an extent their whole lives, but the way they cope with that is very different.

9 - Do they fear death or what comes after it?

Both of them fear death, but I don’t think Cordelia fears what comes after it; she might even see it as a blessing. However, she still wants to live a good life and perform whatever duties she thinks she needs to.

For Aemond, I think his fear of death is directly tied to his desire for legacy. His decision to go to the Gods Eye (also in canon) could be attributed to him wanting to make an impact before he dies. I'm not sure he believes in a traditional afterlife... maybe in some form. If he does, it's probably not the kind Cordelia imagines. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them!

17 - How do they cope with the knowledge of their own mortality, or the mortality of their loved ones?

I answered this one for Cordelia here already. To put it simply, not well. 😭

Aemond also copes terribly with death. I think the idea of his own mortality haunts him constantly, even if he doesn’t allow himself to consciously think about it. Ironic, given how much death he’s caused.

34 - When thinking about themselves, are they a soul, a consciousness, or a body? Do they think as I, we, or you?

I love this question! Cordelia thinks she is all three, but since she believes in souls, I’d say that comes first. She thinks of herself as I, a singular identity. Aemond, on the other hand, thinks he is both a body and a consciousness. Does he believe in souls... my first instinct was no, but I think he does, just not in the same way as Cordelia.

Oh thank you so much!! I'm glad to hear from you again 😚 <33

4 - Do they believe some individuals are inherently more important than others?

Starting out with a banger haha.

Yeah, Aemond's stance is definitely easier to answer. I firmly believe he is a Valyrian blood supremacist, meaning he considers those of Valyrian descent (especially the Targaryens) to be inherently superior to the rest of Westeros.

I mean, medieval feudal monarchy pretty much ran on the idea of the Divine Right of Kings, which placed monarchs at a higher social, moral, and religious level than the rest of the population. The Targaryens are foreign conquerors, but Aegon the Conqueror fully took on many customs of the Faith of the Seven, and since I'm guessing that the Faith has its own idea of the Divine Right, Aemond would likely outwardly justify his blood supremacy by framing it as the gods' will.

That said, I think he does make exceptions. While his baseline is Valyrian supremacy, he holds people like Alicent and Otto in high regard (though they are his family). I think Cordelia is the greatest exception; he has to justify his obsession by making her an anomaly.

As for Cordelia, I would also say yes. However, her views aren't influenced by race as much as they are by the strict social and cultural power structures of Westeros. To her, a lord is above a peasant because that is the social order, but also a lord is above a lady because the system is patriarchal. She doesn't really question those roles at all.

However, I think everything she's witnessed during the war is slowly starting to impact her worldview. She's beginning to realise there are good and bad people in all social classes.

12 - Do they possess a secret that would destroy them if found out?

14 - Have they ever done something that made them feel like they couldn't recognise themselves?

Ooh, this is good question. Probably when she bit off that one attacker's finger in ch 20, I think. That was a pretty badass move lol, but looking back on it, Cordelia must have been pretty horrified. It goes against everything she was taught to be. But overall, so far? Not really.

15 - Have they ever doubted their own sanity?
