Only good to come of this season are the Aemond visuals 🥰
Aemond Targaryen in the council room - requested by anon <3
Aemond and little Aenyra (he is 42 and she is 3)
I think Aemond loves his children very much. If he had a loving family, he would be able to replenish the love he lost in childhood already in adulthood. As it usually happens "i will be another parent, better than mine".
listen i am not a very smart person but am i supposed to assume Helaena is more angry at Aemond than at Deamon who MURDERED HER SON????
"[aegon and aemond] need each other in their own way. they have a weird love for each other. both of them would stab each other in the back just for self-gain"

watching the leaks like:
"You're going to see Aemond in full throttle. You're either with him or you're against him."

Aemond baby, get behind me.
GIVE HER BACK!!! GIVE HER BACKK!!
GIVE THEM BACKK! GIVE THEM BACKK!!!
They butchered them. They butchered them really bad.
I know it’s been said but, damn, I really do hate the way the show turned what was supposed to be a story about how the Targaryens ate themselves because of ego, about two spoiled yet neglected brats wanting to be The One despite already being the most powerful people in the world who horde wealth and ride dragons while average people struggle to find enough to eat and turned it into “Meanie Hightowers attacked the innocent, perfect dragons-and-incest family” just reinforcing the very same arrogance, short-sightedness, and exceptionalism of not just the Targaryens but this whole system that GRRM was trying to criticize.
Bowing her head in defeat, Queen Alicent surrendered the keys to the castle and ordered her knights and men-at-arms to lay down their swords. “The city is yours, Princess,” she is reported to have said, “but you will not hold it long. The rats play when the cat is gone,
I think what makes me adore Alicent so much here is that, for better or worse she refuses to give up. She refuses to call Rhaenyra Her Grace or Queen at this moment of triumph for her, but instead basically calls her a rat who will not have Kingslanding for long.
This has got to be one of the most devastatingly good looking side profiles I’ve ever seen on a man
*deep sigh* Ewan Mitchell…the man that you are
