#(kinda the opposite he did lowkey commit strong-icide the first time he met her)

started thinking about aemond feeling like he has to earn people’s love due to feelings of inadequacy when he was younger, started thinking of him probably feeling that way even about his mom and his siblings, had to lie down

#personal #god i really wish they'd done more with helaena so that i could talk about her and aemond's relationship (platonically) #(i don't like that ship at all sorry fam) #but now i'm thinking about aemond and alicent and aemond and aegon once again #(but also then contrast that with alys where he didn't really do anything to Earn her affections at all) #(kinda the opposite he did lowkey commit strong-icide the first time he met her) #(but they built a rapport and she loved him anyway. unconditionally. with no terms and conditions) #(great made myself sadder in the tags of my own damned post)
