ever thought about how aegon was alicent‘s first and her last left? your house is burning and your children are gone. except him. except him. he came back to her, unrecognizable, burnt and twisted, but he came back to her. she has him still.
i have done everything you’ve asked me to. i try so hard but it will never be enough for you. and it wasn‘t. she asked him to save their family, save the realm, save her. he didn‘t, he couldn‘t. he did come back to her. he had cursed her on the day he was born.
do you love me? you imbecile. i love those bones of you. i love you so much i have sacrificed everything to see you on the throne. i have sacrificed my youth. sacrificed my decency. sacrificed my oldest. i have sacrificed you. i love you. my oldest, my firstborn, my sacrifice.
and as he walks towards his mother like an animal to his butcher she plants a kiss on his forehead. her little sacrificial lamb, he came back. came back to her. did i do well mother? did i do enough? no. i love you. you came back.
i wonder who he thought about when the poison touched his lips.

put on hotd for bed except i was awake during the coronation scene and obviously there’s alicent running in front of aegon and aegon gripping her hand while she kind of like, pulls his hand off her but also doesn’t let go
but i noticed when meleys roars, aegon actually has his head on her shoulder, as in, like when a child buries their head in a parent’s neck/rests it on their shoulder when they’re scared and i’m
