Looks like the truth bothered some rapemond stans so much that they are even saying irl rape victims salivate for rape now. Keep proving my point and may I continue to provide you content many times in the future.

For some team black folks to claim Alys was the abusive one in that relation based solely on her age is actually insane. Aemond was a prince of the realm, a general, a regent of the crown, rode the largest living dragon, killed her family and held authority over her body and person. She was in no position to abuse him.

[antiaemond]

One by one, every man and boy with Strong blood in his veins was dragged forth and put to death, until the heap made of their heads stood three feet tall. Thus did the flower of House Strong, an ancient line of noble warriors boasting descent from the First Men, come to an ignoble end in the ward at Harrenhal. No trueborn Strong was spared, nor any bastard save… oddly… Alys Rivers. Though the wet nurse was twice his age (thrice, if we put our trust in Mushroom), Prince Aemond had taken her into his bed as a prize of war soon after taking Harrenhal, seemingly preferring her to all the other women of the castle, including many pretty maids of his own years.

Fire and Blood (George R. R. Martin)

Wow! Now it certainly sounds SO ROMANTIC!

I mean:

Though her own children had all been stillborn, the milk that flowed so abundantly from the breasts of Alys Rivers had nourished countless babes born of other women at Harrenhal.

I'm sure none of them were among the slaughtered, and if they were, she had no relationship with them. No remaining feelings, because feeding someone else's baby doesn't usually result in that, right?!

laughing at the way a*ysmond shippers are being roasted (same way aegon's face was) on twitter right now!!! the slander is real fr

[antiaemond]

The most deranged and disgusting argument in favor of rapemond and Alys is that she "bore his child". Do you know who else bore their rapist's child? Alicent.

[antiaemond]

Im absolutely sure that female audience of hotd loves Aemond only for appearance... he's not a gentleman and didn't do anything outstanding... only killed a child...

[antiaemond]

Aemond: “Here I am, trawling the city, ever the good soldier in search of a wastrel who’s never taken half an interest in his birthright. ‘Tis I the younger brother who studies history and philosophy, it is I who trains with the sword, who rides the largest dragon in the world. It is I who should be… I know what it is to toil for what others are freely given.”

Also, Aemond: *chases Lucerys on Vhagar after failing to taunt him, with the intent on taking Lucerys’ eye which then Vhagar lunges and bites into Arrax, killing the dragon and Lucerys*

Wow, I guess Aemond would make a better king than Aegon. NOT.

He should’ve known that Vhagar is not a pet. And Luke came as a messenger, not to pick a fight with him. Yet Aemond, being a hot-tempered man he is, attempts to provoke/scare him which ends up in a tragedy.

At least book!Aemond is an arsehole; he chases Luke on Vhagar with an intent to kill.

In the dumpster fire of a tv show, the civil war began because of Aemond’s prank gone wrong.

I can’t with these writers. 🤦

That line was so hilarious!

Like what has Aemond ever toiled for?! He's a Prince! He grew up more pampered and in luxury than anyone else in Westeros. Does he consider training and claiming a Dragon to be toiling? Well then I guess anyone who's ever claimed a Dragon or learned fighting gets an A+ for the role of Kingship. No other skill needed apparently.

It's hilarious how Every. Single. Thing he says is wrong. Aegon is not the heir so the Throne was never his birthright and if he actually studied history he'd realize the importance of respecting messengers or respecting the King's will. Or the taboo of kinslaying. Or the consequences of his family's actions.

Aemond isn't really the brightest is he? Hehe.

Like they really thought that line would make him seem edgy or cool when it was as ironically hilarious as S8 Arya going 'she's the smartest person I know' and then Sansa being like 'I don't know how to use a fucking dagger.'

[antiaemond]

While I personally don't like Daemon but reading greens takes about him especially Aemond stans is so funny because they're very bitter about the fact that Daemon is better than Aemond in everyway possible and that's an objective truth, they like to play the high moral ground that Daemon is a groomer pedo (which is true) and that Aemond is morally better which is really funny because who said that the person who nuked whole region because he was angry is morally better than anyone? Do they think that Aemond's relationship with Alys is some Disney story when he literally killed everyone of her bloodline then take her as his war prize which could translate to a sex slave. I NEED Aemond's stans to accept that they're stanning a dark character and not some jon/rob type of a character because fighting other real people and insult them for your fave genocider and rapist is actually embarrassing

sorry I took quote long to answer this but I finally finished my uni exams so I'm only now finally free (🥳)

Anyways, I'm very happy that despite not liking daemon's character you can see the ridiculousness in those takes.

honestly, the show is the reason to blame for SO many bad takes. Like, people not understanding how bastards and legitimacy works in the fantasy world of Westeros, not realizing honor and broken oaths play role, the politics of north vs south, the religious power, the MANY dubious/power imbalanced relationships we see, the family drama... I mean, there are even people who genuinely refuse to acknowledge that misogyny is a huge theme in the book and plays a huge role in the dance, so...

And I get it, not everyone is a reader. And despite how much I love f&b I'll be the first to admit that it's not an easy book. And some people will simply never understand how unreliable narration works.

I think the people you're mentioning will either have a rude awakening when s2 will air or some huge celebration, depending how the show will take aemond's character.

I have no doubt they'll have him do his canon actions. Similarly how he did in s1 (attacking his nephews, the toast during dinner, killing Luke etc) But as you can see with how they portrayed his murder of lucerys (aka suddenly he couldn't control his dragon because.... ✨ plot ✨) They can easily twist his future actions (burning the riverlands, massacring house strong, the dubious thing he had with Alys) into something more sympathetic.

George being part of the team means nothing to me. If he cares for the story and the characters he wouldn't have let them getting destroyed like this in the first place.

And in my eyes there's no fixing hotd.

Now when it comes to the fandom, a huge issue that goes both with team green and team black is that they cannot seperate book canon, show version and headcanons. They put everything into the mix and you get the most unhinged arguments.

[antiaemond]

I can't wait to see people defend Aemond kidnapping and r*ping a woman and forcing her to be his wife

[antiaemond]

Help me with human stupidity...

AEMOND RAPED ALYS !

[antiaemond]

I hate that show fans have given Aemond the treatment Snape got for years. We have one scene of him getting made fun of now he’s forever the victim and his awful actions after are justified.

“The groom was fifteen years of age ; a lazy and somewhat sulky boy, Septon Eustace tells us, but possessed of more than healthy appetites, a glutton at table, given to swilling ale and strongwine and pinching and fondling any serving girl who strayed within his reach.” - About Aegon II.

“Thus did the flower of House Strong, an ancient line of noble warriors boasting descent from the First Men, come to an ignoble end in the ward at Harrenhal. No trueborn Strong was spared, nor any bastard save... oddly... Alys Rivers. Though the wet nurse was twice his age (thrice, if we put our trust in Mushroom), Prince Aemond had taken her into his bed as a prize of war soon after taking Harrenhal, seemingly preferring her to all the other women of the castle, including many pretty maids of his own years.”

For those wondering why Aegon II and Aemond are accused of being rapists... Or those who complain that Aegon II was unfairly changed into a rapist in the series...

[antiaemond]

aemond stans thinking he was badass/hot for hunting and taunting a 14 years old child like an animal, but get pressed when the general audience genuinely can’t wait for daemon to avenge luke’s death. ew what is that? is that the smell of HYPOCRISY?
