I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

I'm sorry, but I can't take Larys' speech seriously. I suppose it should become some kind of motivation for Aegon, so he can lock in and stop feeling sorry for himself, but come on - not when it comes from Larys fucking Strong, who, you know, KILLED HIS ENTIRE FAMILY AND SEXUALLY HARASSED THE QUEEN. And this man tells Aegon that he's a terrible person because - uh - he was drinking a lot and didn't take the time to develop his fencing skills. Bffr.

Aemond calling for his mother while feverish and delirious in a dark and unhospitable place as he recovers from his injuries. Aegon calling for his mother while he hovers between life and death in an equally dark and unhospitable place. Alys not leaving Aemond's bedside and fending off invaders. Alicent barely leaving Aegon's bedside, hoping he would wake. Aemond eventually getting a hug from Alys. Aegon being denied Alicent's hug and comfort as she exits the room before she can hear he's conscious. Both being so love-deprived. Both forming a relationship with someone who resembles their mother. Both believing the other was their mother's favorite. Both wanting to be their mother's favorite so badly. Both feeling like they failed her and failed themselves. Both hurting each other. Both craving, just aching, to be carried upstairs to bed. To be children. To be looked after right. To be small enough to be cradled again.
