When I first saw this shot, I raised my eyebrows bc wtf is this?! Look at this girl! Sheās literally hiding behind Aemond. Thatās not a stretch or a reach. Like, come on. COME ON.
Look if thereās one thing Daemon canāt do, itās staying away from his nieces lmao.
I remember Ryan mentioning during S2 promo that by the end of the season, thereād be 2 people who knew Helaena was a dragon dreamer/magical. One of them was always bound to be Aemond. And tbh for a while I thought the second person would actually be Larys, but once Helaena was in Daemonās Harrenhal vision I knew he was the second person. So both Daemon and Aemond now know that Helaena is magical and somehow both of them end of at the GE. What are the chances?!
In all reality I wouldnāt be surprised at all if they had some scenes together. Itād make sense and I know Matt & Phia prolly petitioned it bc theyāre good friends. So weāll see!
Trying to come at this from an unbiased angle, but seriously, what is the point of this article? Itās one thing for a director to say a few words of their own headcanon or whatever but this is like a page and a half of Geeta talking about Aemond & Helaena and how Ryan & Sara told her about their dynamic.
They couldāve easily left it at āoh yeah Helaena is more in danger than sheās ever beenā and moved on completely and that would be that, but they didnāt. Like I know Iām out there with the theories sometimes lmfao but showrunners and directors donāt just agree to put out articles like this if theyāre not going to elaborate.

@cigarette_room Nah bc people are literally like āewwww!!! Incest in the dragon and incest show!!!!! My eyes!!!!ā
Like why are we surprised that a Targ embraces Targ customs like lmfao?
@cntorlok Yeah I was gonna say if anything itās Gayle and Phia that look somewhat alike. But like you said Gayle has a sharper jaw. All of them are gorgeous though!
My Reddit friend has access to the first 2 episodes but they seem so adamant about not leaking anything š I DID ask them if they could just confirm or disprove the āAemond kisses Alicentā thing though, so fingers crossed. They seem super busy so I donāt wanna bother them too much.
This actually makes loads and loads of sense.
Aemond sees himself as the ārulerā over Westeros in a sense and he certainly sees himself as the head of family. Ewan said it himself in the article that came out today. Aemond sees himself as a āfather figureā of sorts in their family now. Thatās a huge plot point in Oedipus itself. People always jump to the āoh momson fuckingā in Oedipus bc itās the most controversial and discussed topic in the entire story but thereās a lot more to it than just a son wanting to fuck his mother. Ewan could easily be referring to Aemond being an āOedipusā like character in more than one way.
@dreamfyrefairy It depends on the leak for me š if itās a good leak then hell yeah, but if itās some dumb shit happening in the leak, Iām annoyed lmao. I imagine maybe weāll get some next week?
@HeartlessL In fairness Iām gonna reserve my judgement when it comes to THAT at the end of the season bc do still think theyāre gonna have some kind of plot together
Yeah, I donāt really understand it either. Like Alicent is not a perfect mother by any means and frankly idk if sheās capable of true maternal love/familial love (which is Ottoās fault but thatās another topic), but Aemond acting like heās the most starved of their motherās affection is a little ridiculous. I do get the concept of Alicent depriving him of that attention after killing Luke & everything thatās transpired and then him spiraling over it, but the whole idea of āAemondās never felt loveā is nonsense to me. Before Stormās End, he was easily Alicentās favorite child if she ever had one. She resents Aegon, sheās never fully connected w Helaena, and she doesnāt know Daeron.
Idk, the whole concept of it is definitely not my favorite because it just doesnāt make sense.
@alyucito@aemondshair Honestly Ewan says a lot of stuff that doesnāt make sense lmao. They all do. But I get what youāre coming from and the connection. I just donāt think theyād do that.
@HeartlessL Tbh I donāt put a whole lot of stock into what Ewan days lmao but I donāt understand their dynamic. I still think Miguel leaving was the worst thing thatās happened to this show.
@alyucito@aemondshair Thereās just no way thatās actually true. Odd that it didnāt come out until Ewan mentioned something about having a ātwisted affectionā for his family or something like that. Seems like someone made this up and is running w it bc of the article that came out today.
@daehaerys Thatās the thing it just doesnāt make sense. š If Alicent were ever capable of a shred of maternal love it wouldāve been for Aemond.
