First of all, y’all not putting spoilers warning pisses me me off. It’s not even hard to do so. Some of us haven’t been spoiled yet and would like to remain such, especially when it comes to show only stuff, basic fandom etiquette.
Whatever, let’s adress the elephant in the room: Alicent and Aemond.
Do I think this leak is real? Yes. Aemond keeps looking for comfort with an older woman who has brownish curls and the same nose shape as Emily Carey.
We also got that shot of Alys wearing a blue dress and a waist chain. And now, when I think about some looks he gave Alicent in S2, I’m like Oh. Also, that boy is insane and out of control, thinking he’s entitled to kissing his Mom (someone who clearly doesn’t want him to) seems very Aemond-ish to do. I’m just a little surprised they'd go as far to show his mommy issues (was more expecting him to do it to Harrenhal-hallucination Alicent)
In this whole Oedipus complex thing, Aemond is Oedipus and Alicent is Jocasta. But who is Laius? This obvious answer would be Viserys, his father and the King. However he’s already dead, Alicent didn’t love him as a lover (and less than her kids), Aemond was rather indifferent toward him and never showed any will to kill him.
Which now leave us with a second option: Cristion (aka Alicent’s dildo). It’s not been shown that Aemond knows about him and Alicent, but he’s smart enough to connect the dots. Nevertheless Aemond gets along with him and he has no interest in killing him. Let’s be real, Alicent may be not Mom #1 but she’s not picking him over kids, nor is she in a dilemma of which love pulls her more. I could even argue that Alicent isn’t even actually attracted to Criston but that’s a topic for another time. He’s not competition!
Then we have Aegon, the King, Aemond tried to kill him and has hurt him enough to steal his place. Nevertheless, his rivalry with Aegon is only about power (and revenge for all the bullying he inflicted on him) not Alicent's affection. Aegon is definitely not attracted to Alicent, she's not either. So, big bro is out!
I think you might have guessed where this is going… Who is the "King", related to Aemond, way older than him, has been/is romantically involved with Alicent (a bond Aemond even called love), someone he wants to kill and an actual obstacle in the love Alicent has for her kids, all at once? Who is a competition serious enough to be Laius? That’s right, mother-fucking (literally) Rhaenyra!!
In this scenario, Rhaenyra is Laius! Like c’mon, she has the throne, the mother, the mother's heart, and Aemond wants her dead!
I was inspired by this tweet, it opened my thrid eye. If we get Alimond kiss but no Rhaenicent kiss, I swear to God… Not to mention how hotd loves parallels, that would be gold for one! Alicent being kissed by two siblings: one that shouldn’t want her and disgusts her when he does, one that she shouldn’t want but excites her when she does.
