Name Day Gifts - Team Green

prompt: my friend's birthday as coming up and she asked if I would do some headcanons for what the Team Green boys would get their partner for their birthday/name day.💚 --------------------------------------------

Aegon

As the King, Aegon had the right call any number of feasts & tourneys to order, for whatever reason he chooses. What better reason than your Name Day? He would be extremely involved in the planning. From the music, to the entertainment, to even having your favorite foods catered for the event. He even has a dress made, embroidered with his own personal dragon sigil, as a gift for the party. All of this is for you, and he is happy to see you enjoying yourself. But there is a part of Aegon, later in the evening and after too much wine, that he is jealous over all the attention you are giving others. The needy King will eventually spirit you away all for himself.

Aemond

Aemond is not one for celebrating Name Days. Any idiot can be born. It is true achievement that should be praised. But, he is neither cold hearted enough nor foolish enough to realize not everyone feels this way. He would give you your gift in private. Handing it to you like any other prize, with no more flourish than “for another year older”. He would have the royal jeweler craft a sapphire pendant for you, suspended on a white gold chain, with facets as intricate as a dragon’s egg. “To act as my eye when I am not around.” He would tell you. To watch over you. To protect you. The promise is the real gift, the necklace is just flare.

Gwayne

Gwayne is terrible at picking gifts. Completely hopeless, if one were being honest. His heart is in the right place, as he often gets things based on some innate fact of trivia his partner has given him. Example? You once mentioned you liked persimmons, so he procured a whole crate for you, by which you could never finish them all before they rot. He leans on his sister for advice, which are all practical and traditional gifts for a Name Day. In the end, however, he gets them a horse. As Alicent mentioned something they could do together and he thought ‘I like riding’, so Gwayne presented them with the most beautiful white mare he could find so they could go riding together.

Criston 

He of course cannot let their relationship be known, due to his oath, but he remembers all the same. With the power of his position, Criston would sneak into your chambers and leave a small parcel on your bed or dresser for you to find. A small trinket of a golden spear cloak pin. Seemingly innocent, but the meaning is clean. Gold for his cloak. A spear as the symbol of his Dornish heritage. And finally, a cloak pin so you can wear it over your heart. Though he can never say it, Criston swells with pride every time he sees you wear it; which is almost daily after your Name Day.

I love how GRRM went over heels praising Phia and Tom from all the green characters. I don't even remember if he said something about Alicent or Aemond but i think he didn't. George seems pretty angry with the show and the only thing he could praise was Helaena and Aegon. Lol Relatable,he knew what makes a character, compelling.

And he gave us the most incredible and poetic description for our Queen:

"Helaena Targaryen, Aegon’s doomed, haunted queen and mother to his children."

He's the first helaegon shipper, actually.

But you're right, he went out of his way to praise Aegon and Helaena (TGC and Phia), he is probably pissed with the direction they are taking Helaena in regards to Dreamfyre because he made sure to mention their bond:

"A dragonrider since the age of twelve, Helaena’s greatest joy in life is to take to the skies on the back of her dragon Dreamfyre."

I think we can enjoy the fact that our vision for helaegon is way closer to what GRRM envisioned than whatever cheap fanfic Ryan invented.

[coffeebooksrain18]

Although i think Aegon not being fluent in High Valyrian is cute, i hate how it was clearly used by the writers to show him as incompetent

Yeah, they could have went a completely different route. The one I thought was going to happen was them showing how he rebukes his Valyrian heritage because of his father and the neglect he felt for him, but instead they went "hE'S onlY a DRunk AnD iS sTupID!" Which takes away so much of him as a character because it takes away the why. It pretty well boils him down to nothing but a drunk moron when Aegon is much more than that.

Thanks for the ask Anon!

pov: you're in my modern hotd universe and you just opened your tumblr dash

based on viral textposts- part two!

[florisbaratheons]

Gasp You know what would’ve been a nice way to hint at Helaena and Aegon's relationship? The embroidery! Aegon with little insect patterns hidden in his clothes — like tiny spiders on his sleeves. And the kids could have their own little details too, maybe butterflies or moths on their outfits. That would have been cute!!!

This is my favorite Helaegon headcanon. And I totally imagine that Helaena was the one that embroidered the golden dragons on his two coats, and they definitely represented their twins. I like to think that Aegon did understand that and recognized that representation for their children. Their twins are their greatest joys.

[therogueflame]

Hi! I absolutely love, love your works and I had an idea I'd love to see on your writing style! If you feel inspired by it, how about a Daemon Targaryen with a brothel!worker where she's a new 'gem' in the most expensive brothel due to her domineering personality? How she doesn't grovel or beg, and always manages to make men putty in her hands with her skills. I think it'd be interesting how Daemon would react or would be with a woman like that, and it's completely up to you if you'd think he'd react and act. There are two wolves inside of me: the one that thinks Daemon would take it as a challenge to put her in her place, the other where the rogue prince can finally let go and be teased, pampered.

oh em gee

anon you sly little fox

i LOVE this

this was an amazing ask to wake up to

the wheels in my head are turning already

[pessimisticpigeonsworld]

What do you make of Fire & Blood Helaena? Did she have enough means to openly go against ther family for Rhaenyra, and should she have?

I think Helaena in F&B is a bit more interesting than HOTD made her. She's hinted to have had a good relationship with Rhaenyra, however, she also was at least present in Aegon's council. In the council though, she supports trying to make peace with Rhaenyra. It's hinted her voice had some level of importance in the council as well.

So from these examples, I think we can surmise that Helaena had more autonomy that she does in the show. I think she did what she could to try to help Rhaenyra before B&C happened.

Helaena has been separated from Rhaenyra since she was 13 (maybe 12), she's been securely under Alicent's thumb for her whole life. I think it's understandable that she doesn't run away, since she doesn't really know Rhaenyra anymore. Plus, she might have been trying to diffuse the potential war where she was.

Helaena had a good relationship with Viserys, plus she loved her children (was probably the only one who did let's be real). She couldn't leave KL before Viserys' death. That love for her children and desire to stop a war kept her there after the false coronation.

So basically, anon, I think Helaena did the best she could given her circumstances. Helaena was in the situation show!Alicent's stans think she's in. She's been robbed of autonomy her entire life, but she did try to help Rhaenyra when she could. Which is why I think B&C is a lot more tragic in F&B; Helaena is punished alongside Aegon. Showing the injustice the Greens perpetuated.

[bietrofastimoff23]

A modern Criston would have understood Owen on an entirely different level, because that’s exactly how he felt on the first day of training those unrulys princes with dragon blood.

He might even have signed a DVD of that film as, “one day with the little targs” or “just another day in the red keep”.

[brynnsasha191]

The one thing that bothers me with the whole “Aemond was bullied by the Strong Boys” bs is that fact that his no.1 bully was AEGON not his nephews.

You can throughout 1x06 that Jace and Luke are following Aegon’s lead, even when Jace is commanding his dragon he looks to Aegon for encouragement first. So if Aegon says “let’s play a prank on my brother!” obviously J&L are going to go along.

Here’s the thing, if Aegon turned around and said “let’s play a prank on Luke!” Jace would refuse, Rhaenyra’s boys stick together no matter what. Aemond was an easy target because his brother didn’t care for him the way Jace did for his.

Luke wasn’t Aemond’s bully or tormentor, that was all Aegon and we see this in S2 as well.

PRECISELY. You can tell in s1e6 that the Velaryon boys actually do like the targtowers and it makes sense why they would! They're like the cool older cousin that you always wanted to hang out with, it makes sense that they might want to impress Aegon. I highly doubt J&L would come up with that on their own, and idk...it feels like a 15 year old boy would be able to get his hands on a pig easier than a 7 year old. Yeah, Rhaenyra's boys thought it was funny! But I highly doubt they did it with intention to hurt Aemond and I highly doubt they did it without encouragement from Aegon.

After presenting the pig, Rhaenyra's boys just laugh and that's all. Aegon oinks in Aemond's face and says "mount her carefully", which clearly indicates to me that Aegon took the lead on this whole thing. Even Alicent says she believes that it was probably Aegon's doing. She says "do you think Rhaenyra's sons will be your playthings forever?" That line indicates she thought it was in fact Aegon who used them as scape goats. And in s2, when Aegon catches Aemond in the brothel he barks in Aemond's face a makes fun of him in a very similar way, the behavior has not changed, which makes it very clear that Aegon was the main bully! Luke did nothing but follow Aegon's instructions. Luke was not the bully or tormenter at all, but the greenies refuse to see this so whatever. (Also again, if you're 14 getting bullied by a 6-7 year old, at some point that's your own fault)

Also please remember that Aemond and Luke spent so much time away from each other. The pig incident is literally the third to last time L&A see each other before Aemond kills him. And idk, I feel like it's reasonable to expect Aemond to not go killing children as revenge for something they did in self defense at the age of 6-7. Maybe Aemond is not a poor traumatized uwu baby, but a violent asshole.

[thesilverlady]

two stills & a dream

[thewritetofreespeech]

Could I request Aemond's s/o defending him? S/o's words were so scathing and brutally honest, no one can talk back to her.

Your heels click furiously as you ascend up the stairs of the tower to the room of the King’s Hand. A message had come earlier that morning requesting, no demanding, your presence at once and it infuriated you that just mere moments after his return Lord Hightower thought he could just order you around.

The door opened after you had made your way to the top, and the servant left immediately after that. Clearly having been told to give the two of your privacy. "You summoned me."

"Yes, thank you for coming." Otto replied calmly. Clever enough to pick up on the distain in your voice, but also clever enough to know not to acknowledge it. "I wanted to talk to you for a moment about Aemond."

You arched a brow. There were a lot of things you thought this conversation could be about, Aemond being one of them, but your husband had been very low on your list. "What about him?"

"How is your marriage to my grandson going?"

"...Fine..." Again, this was a very strange conversation. But you were still on your hackles as you were not sure where this line of questioning was going.

"That is good to hear. My grandsons can be a... challenge." That sounded more personal than he may have meant. "Aegon is too concerned with the opinions of others. He is reckless in his pursuit of praise and adoration, to the point of weakness."

"Careful," you caution, "is it not treason to speak ill of your king?"

"Aemond is the opposite." Otto continued. Ignoring your quip. "He is reckless in pursuit of damnation. He thinks he knows better. That books and study make up for lack of experience. And for that he will accept the guidance of no others."

"Maybe he does know better. Have you bothered to ask him?"

Otto huffed through his nose. Coming to realize his grandsons may not be the only challenge with your cheek. "I want you to caution him in my stead."

"You mean reign him in?"

"In a manner of speaking, yes." He confessed. "Aemond will not listen to me. He thinks everyone is conspiring against him."

"Aren't you?" You counter back. "You are literally conspiring with his wife to spy on and manipulate him to your own ideas."

"Encouraging him to see reason."

"You can spin this however you would like, Lord Hand, but that is what you are doing and I shall play no part in it."

"You would see your husband break under the weight of his own ambition."

You shrug. "Maybe he will. Or maybe he'll fly. But I do know this, I will not break his trust."

Otto huffed again. Crossing his arms now as he seemed to debate on a new strategy to overcome your objection. “I thought you were clever, and therefore more reasonable.”

Flattery.

“No, you thought I would be more pliable. Because I am the fairer sex? Or because you’re too scared to confront Aemond about your concerns?”

“You know, when the contracts came for who my grandson would marry, it was I who put your House name up for consideration.”

Indebtedness.

“Then I owe you for my eternal happiness. We shall name our 4th child after you.”

Otto sneered. Frustrated at your flippant tone now, but also the slight. “Your husband will die if he continues this path. And the wives to traitors, should Rhaenyra win, do not end well.”

Fear.

You have to admit. That one almost got you.

“Then let us see to it that we do not lose, and my husband will be safe, the realm secure, and all shall live happily ever after under the true Targaryen rule.” You intentionally leave it blank on who would be ruling, Aegon or Aemond, but sure as the sun rose a Targaryen would sit the throne at the end of the day. “Now, if you excuse me, I must return to my duties and my husband.” The tone in your voice letting Otto know that your loyalties had been chosen, and this conversation would not happen again.

Your curtsy like a lady for the Lord Hand and see yourself out. Half way down the stairs you change your mind from telling Aemond about the incident to keeping it to yourself. You do not wish to lie to your husband, ever. But if he heard that his grandsire had conspired with you to keep him on a leash, there was a good chance he would throw the man from his tower. Otto had been right about one thing, Aemond was getting more reckless in his frustrations on the war. Perhaps he had been right to try to help steer him towards more caution, if you could, but it would be for no benefit other than Aemond’s and your future together. You would not be another knife in Aemond’s back for him, nor would you be another pretty pawn for the Hand to manipulate his King, or Regent, with. Otto Hightower was on his own.

[ceoofhelaegon]

What do you think of season 2? And what do you think of Helaena supporting Daemon? And Aegon who escaped without Jaehaera and Helaena...

One word? Shit.

God, the writing was atrocious and I am baffled that people got paid for this pile of shit.

The most horrific thing that happened in the history of Westeros, save for the sacking of Kingslanding with Elia Martell and the children was glossed over like it was nothing.

No one says Jaehaerys' name and in the show canon, we STILL haven't heard Jaehaera's name which is INSANE.

Alicent is a psychopath and a dumbass, can't believe they proved the patriarchy right by showing us that Alicent shouldn't have been Aegon's Regent, and that's saying something, considering that the current Regent tried to commit regicide.

And you can tell the writers don't know anything about medieval society because why the fuck was Alicent yapping about being "free" and "unnoticed" girl, you're the wife of a former King and the mother to another, these kind of words shouldn't even be allowed in her vocabulary.

And also, as @notbloodraven mentioned in her post, Alicent is condemning Helaena and Jaehaera into a life of poverty because they don't have any money nor lands to survive.

"We're leaving Kingslanding" TO WHERE?! Certainly not Oldtown after you sold out everyone, including the son that you were worried about not being kind.

I'm assuming Aegon leaving without Helaena and Jaehaera will be retconned, Larys will say something like: "She's safe in Storms End"

I don't think Helaena was supporting Daemon, more egging him on, kind of accelerationist on her part, you know? She was gloating about Aegon seeing victory so don't think that was her supporting him at all.

But who knows? Maybe she was, since the writing is so shit.

[coffeebooksrain18]

Tbh the ''rhaenyra with a sword'' bullshit has unlocked a new fear in me. What if....they have her swordfight Aegon when he catches her in order to make her death ''badass''?😬

They probably will, cause God forbid Rhaenyra meets the sad and painful end she had in the book! I bet they will make Aegons look pathetic and not the somber easy death he had in the book.

Yes, he raped ONE maid because he's a prince in the Middle Ages, where a maid is actually a thing, so I can quite understand why people might not care. In Westeros, some men (main characters btw) also kill people, sometimes innocent people, should we cry about them too? Then it turns out that no male character in HOTD can be loved.

“where a maid is actually a thing, so I can understand why people might not care”

Jesus Christ. That was an inside thought you should have kept to yourself. Most people do not think like that. I felt empathy for Dyana (her name btw. Her name isn’t “a maid”) because she was a child who had been attacked and violated. I as a viewer did not care whether she was high or lowborn, I saw her bawling because of what Aegon did and felt sympathy for her and disgust towards him.

You realize that you yourself do not have to cosplay a member of medieval nobility to enjoy the series, right? Understand that it’s a medieval fantasy setting, but also one written by an author in the twenty first century. You’re supposed to understand why certain characters have their values and critique them, not fucking adopt medieval values yourself, you dingbat.

If you think the takeaway you should have from A Song of Ice & Fire is “oh well, the people in power are allowed to inflict suffering onto the lower classes without repercussions, this is a thing that should never be interrogated!” you uh. you might have missed the point.

second anon (or perhaps the same anon coming back for more?) to emphasize the “ONE” here like that makes some sort of difference. Again, Alicent had a routine ready to go, seems like a serial offender to me.

[cjbolan]

One of the worst-cyberbulliwd HOTD actors is Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon) due to the controversial scene where Aegon sexually assaults one of the palace's female servants (something Tom was uncomfortable filming as he thought it was "too dark").

Yet he's being harassed on social media and accused of being a "rape apologist". People don't actually think he *really* IS Aegon irl at the least, but they have this idea that "since he willingly played this character this way, he *must* be agreeing with the character's actions!" which is a slightly more sane but still messed-up way to look at it.

People who hate these characters should blame the writers and not the actors.

Even Aegon's actor agrees the rape subplot was unnecessary, so I don't know why fans are attacking him.

I’m convinced being a ASOIAF actor is a double edged sword. Especially when you're playing the villain. Or any character who's not the hero. One one hand you get big roles and lots of money. On the other hand you get bullied off social media by idiots who can't separate fiction from reality.
