About me

Hi, you can call me Eve!

22 | female

I write an Aemond Targaryen x House Manderly FOC fic called Green Tides, which you can find here on ao3.

My primary blog is @dovevev (although I'm more active on here), so if you catch that account liking your stuff, that's me!

English isn't my first language, but I try my best.

Modern Cordelia

During university, Cordelia took up modelling solely because someone once accused her of being a nepo baby and claimed she couldn't get a job on her own. Well, she did have to use some connections to get her first gig, but eventually ended up shooting a very successful commercial campaign for Chanel.

Now, she's booked and busy, but that doesn't mean she's slacking in her studies! Her actual dream is to put her polisci degree to use and become a campaign advisor to her Tory husband 😭 (or I guess Aemond is about to launch his own authoritarian party soon).

Cordelia is, unfortunately, never beating the trad wife allegations. However! if you for one second think she's doing an ounce of housework, you're dead wrong. Modern Cordelia gets ill at the mere thought of touching a frying pan, and she's not much for childrearing either. Her favourite part about modelling (what she calls her "part-time job") is all the substances available at the afterparties.

Out in about two weeks!

Cordelia made the comparisons first 🫣

”I know you have ambition. You enjoy being regent because you enjoy the power it gives you. I saw the way you brought my uncle to heel, and the gleam in your eye when he knelt. I know that gleam. It reminds me of my brother.” Aemond raised a brow. ”Your brother?”

And

”You dislike me because I remind you of your brother?” He asked, amused. She pursed her lips. ”Well…”

(There's more but finding and reading these was cringy enough so I'll leave it at that.)

So Cordelia is aware of the similarities, which is not to say she wants Medrick in any way (ew), because she's always unsettled when she notices them, but yeah.

I agree with everything you said. 😭

Aemond is a lot more difficult to digest than Medrick, mostly because he isn't as good at masking himself. Medrick knows the game better, but he's also almost a decade older, so he's been playing it for much longer. I guess you could say that Medrick is Aemond in ten years (keep up the good work guys 😍).

I might have mentioned this before, but GT Medrick is actually somewhat based on Aemond. He's meant to be a more extreme version of him, in both the good and the bad, hence their similarities. To give some examples: Aemond is slightly abusive towards Helaena in season 2, and in comparison, Medrick is fully abusive to Cordelia and maybe! possibly! has a different kind of fixation on her as well. Also, while Aemond is a skilled swordsman, Medrick is better. The fact that Medrick doesn't have a scar or a missing eye also makes him look less intimidating and more charming on the surface.

A while ago, I made a post about what the modern Manderlys might be like and shared some headcanons for modern Medrick if you'd like to check that out! In that post, I said he would be a Harvard Business School alum, but I think he might have actually studied economics instead. He would never explicitly announce he went to Harvard, but you'd somehow find out sooner than later anyway lmao.

In a modern setting, he'd live in New York City but would also keep a place in Stockholm (where the Manderlys are from), among a couple other properties. He'd be an experienced big-game hunter, though his work schedule wouldn't allow him to do it often. The main reason he's in NYC is that he's about to take over as the head of the US division for the Manderly Shipping Company (MSC). He invests a lot, keeps up with the market, and visits his sister in the UK (where she's currently studying) whenever he can.

I mean…… 🤔 I guess it’s a hear me out
