The Tragedy Of Daemon Targaryen Is This: The Only Language He Knows For Love Is Violence.

very close to just

One day we need to have a legitimate discussion on how Jace and Luke weren’t even bullies and how Aegon was Aemonds biggest torturer. And that day is today.

- Alicent herself knew this was true. “You may cuff him about as you wish at home, but in the world we must defend our own” she says after trying to frame Jace and Luke as “savages.”

-Alicent refers to Jace and Luke as Aegons “playthings” in the same scene. What kind of power dynamic do you really think was at play here? Aegon clearly liked to toy with his vastly younger nephews and influenced them.

- Mind you, Jace and Luke were 5-7 years old and NOT aware of the feud that ran in their frayed family. They lack the awareness of characters like Aemond and Aegon who are repeatedly reminded by Alicent that Rhaenyra’s family is a THREAT and that they are bastards who are beneath them in station.

-In contrast, there is not a single scene of Rhaenyra speaking about Aegon, Aemond, or Helaena in derogatory ways to her children. Even in the books, it’s evident that the feud between the children is entirely one-sided with the Greens growing up and *learning* to resent Jace, Luke, and Joff.

-the teasing in and of itself was so mild. What makes Aemond upset is that he doesn’t view Jace and Luke as his equals.

-to Jace and Luke, this was normal teasing. From Aemonds perspective, he’s being emasculated by younger boys who he views as sub-human and unworthy despite having dragons of their own because he’s been TOLD and ASSURED that they’re bastards.

- THIS IS WHY THE TEASING ACTUALLY SETS HIM OFF, NOT THE SEVERITY. Need we be reminded how strongly Aemond feels about “blood purity”? In a show about the Targaryen dynasty, he’s the only character to mention it.

Bonus:

- Aegon hating and wanting to tease Aemond is so on brand for them as characters. Aemond is a momas boy and Aegon is the disappointment. The allure to make his life hell is there.

one thing i rlly rlly love abt matthew stover's take on the mustafar fight is how delusional he writes anakin. i mean hes flashing the crazy eyes in the movies but there's this specific kind of ruthlessness he has that people mistake for knowing what hes doing. like, he SOUNDS really convinced abt what hes saying and doing and youre hoping somewhere up there the hamster wheel is still spinning but willingness for cold blooded murder still doesnt mean ability for cold blooded reasoning. the hamster wheel IS still spinning but the hamster is on coke. but in the novelisation tho... he contradicts himself three times in a single exchange. padme tells him obi-wan is trying to kill him and that she didnt let him know where anakin was. anakin says aw thats too bad bc obi-wan has to die, hes a hussy and an enemy of state and he would have loved to fight him etc etc, really padme SHOULD have led him to him. then obi-wan shows up, anakin immediately attacks padme for leading obi-wan to him. you can argue that this was him being mad over perceived deception, not him changing his mind abt being sooo into fighting his best friend to the death (he does tell padme he would have loved this if it was a lover's gift) but then. after he choked out padme over the whole obi-wan thing he turns to obi-wan and is basically like yeah you can walk away. just retire or something. i wont bother you if you dont bother me, you always liked to meditate in solitude
