if the alysmond love scene isn’t extremely intense what’s the point 😩 ewan is gonna give it his all ugh. people will die lmao

I want insane amounts of sexual tension, I want a bit of competitiveness, I want Aemond loathing himself for falling into depravity but just being so completely feral for this gal that he CAN'T HOLD BACK aaaaaa ✨MANIFESTING✨

Main difference in Alicole .Alysmond and Helaegon is the aftercare after sex .

Make of this what you will .

"She sees much and more, my Alys..."

First thing that popped into my head when I saw the newest prompt for @hotd-bigbang spring 2024.

Alysmond (Alys Rivers x Aemond Targaryen) Aesthetic aka The Prince and The Witch.

[the-death-of-duty]

love a ship where a man is so pathetically and utterly besotted with a woman to such an extent that he could not bear the thought of leaving her

[the-death-of-duty]

the way this is gonna be them in harrenhal with aemond asking him if he thinks alys likes him or something

[the-death-of-duty]

but it was aemond alone who had become besotted with the rivers woman, to such an extent that he could not bear the thought of leaving her.

[the-death-of-duty]

Holy guacamole!!!!! 👻

[the-death-of-duty]

if aemond doesnt justify his crush on alys like this scene in bodies bodies bodies im gonna be so disappointed

[the-death-of-duty]

“My lady,” Aemond answered. “She saw you in a storm cloud, in a mountain pool at dusk, in the fire we lit to cook our suppers. She sees much and more, my Alys.” (x)

I was wondering how you see Alysmond as the white/ reversed Dettles. I'm not hating just curious

Well, to start Daemon and Aemond are literally mirrors of each other(right down to their names).

Both are second sons of House Targaryen who must forge their paths in life since they’ll never inherit the throne. They have both done their share of questionable things to make their mark and they get more caught up with their need for vengeance, personal glory, and the women in their lives, than their responsibilities to their first families.*

*Daemon is married, but he is in an open marriage and Aemond isn’t married, but he’s betrothed to a lady from a great house to the benefit of his family.

Alys and Nettles are both lowborn bastard (non-Valyrian) women without a dollar to their names who have accusations(real or imagined) of witchcraft thrown their way. Both have the chroniclers of the Dance questioning why these powerful princes (who could have anyone they wanted) would ever look their way.

Alys is an old wetnurse though young looking and Nettles is young though “ugly” and Black. They are not who you would typically picture princes of the realm would want and yet Aemond and Daemon are infatuated in love with them to the point where they are willing to do things for them and put their lives ahead of anyone else’s.

Aemond goes back to Harrenhal after having abandoned it to save Alys from Sabitha Frey(this is something he didn’t even do for his mother and sister who were trapped in Kings Landing*) and Daemon chooses to abandon his wife and queen to save Nettles from an untimely death.

*I know he had his reasons for not going back/it probably would’ve been suicide going by himself, but that isn’t the point. He could’ve easily left Alys to her fate, but he didn’t same thing goes for Daemon with Nettles.

Both couples also have a severe age gap (20+ years) which is where in part the problematic accusations come into play (especially for Dettles).

I’ve seen people use the excuse that even though Aemond is a prince Alys is older than him. Hence, it evens out the power imbalance issue in comparison to Dettles, but what good is being older when your man/husband you married (with next to no witnesses) could turn on you at any moment, abandon you, or order your death and no one would bat an eye?

Aemond would never do that cause he cares for her, but he could easily do so and face 0 consequences for his actions, same for Daemon. Age isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card. It doesn’t protect a peasant woman against a prince. Alys has no more power in her relationship with Aemond than Nettles does with Daemon.

And honestly, Nettles does have a dragon. It’s nothing compared to what Daemon has, but she’s not completely powerless. If she didn’t want to be with Daemon based on her character(she’s a fighter) I think she would’ve left Maidenpool way sooner and never looked back.

Now their relationships aren’t carbon copies of each other, and it’s fine to like one more than another or you don’t like either, but the premise and dynamics at play (rich boy falls in love with and saves the poor girl; think Cinderella, but worse 🤣) are pretty much the same.
