wow alicent truly has the worst suitors of all time. what a lineup we’ve got

“She’s just trying to survive and keep Helaena safe. And I think she’s just looking to escape from Aegon and Aemond because... you know, I mean, especially Aemond. He’s very murderous, very scary, very unpredictable.”

fascinated with the people saying that aemond reaching out to kiss alicent is mischaracterization on alicent’s part and not something integral to aemond’s character that has been established in their relationship and speculated on by the fandom since the driftmark ep. 10-year-old aemond stepping up to defend his mother when viserys wouldn’t to fill the whole of protector to his children and wife is not supposed to be set aside. aemond going back to sylvi after aegon’s coronation—someone who notedly looks a lot like his mother—not to have sex but to simply be held and comforted, something that alicent does not give him, means something. just like aemond being shown time and time again to get jealous of the numerous relationships his mother nurtures, platonic or not, including most notoriously her devotion for rhaenyra, her affection for criston, and the attention aegon demands.

i’m gonna talk my shit real quick. the only people who have a problem with Alicent and Aemond are people mad they can’t comfortably fetishise it. siblings, cousins, uncle/niece sure but mom/son? it’s too grotesque and they don’t like that they have to sit with that discomfort. imo it was needed to shock some of y’all’s systems because this fandom is just way to comfortable with incest as a whole. not saying i don’t ship any of the ships but everyone is just too blasé about it.
