tl ; dr  : he’s asexual but not sex repulsed , does find aesthetic attraction in other people , and only consents to sexual relationships with those he has a strong romantic attachment to ( good personality and strong intellect generally required ! )

i’m not usually one to make super long-winded meta posts about things , but being that this is something pretty important to me ( and also something i’ve noticed i’ve gotten a lot of questions about ) , i thought i’d give a go at discussing  aemond  &&  asexuality  . 

please note that some of the info i am about to dump on this topic is based solely off of  my  own  experience  , and the research i have done to discover my own identity. it is  NOT  meant to generalize the experiences of those on the ace spectrum ; it is simply meant to explain how this identity pertains to aemond , and how he experiences the world. :) 

first and foremost :  yes  ,  aemond  does  have  libido  . he can and does become aroused , and does experience and enjoy physical pleasure. that is to say , he  is  not  sex repulsed – meaning that he is not adverse to engaging in sexual activity , and as many of you know , can be rather enthusiastic about hitting the bedroom with his romantic partners. sometimes asexuality can be conflated with never having or wanting sex ( which  CAN  BE  true in some a-spec identifying folks ! ) , but in aemond’s experience , this is not the case. it can be said , however , that his sex drive is  low  compared to others around his age. 

with that in mind , let’s dive a little deeper :  does  aemond  find  others  attractive  ? the short answer : yes. the long answer : yes , but only to an extent. there are a series of traits that can be found in both men and women that aemond finds aesthetically pleasing , in the way that someone might find a certain painting style appealing , or might feel certain flowers are more beautiful than others.  there  is  no  sexual  desire  attached  to  this  kind  of  attraction  . so , for instance , aemond may look at alys rivers and think the dress she’s wearing is gorgeous on her , or that her eyes are the most beautiful he’s ever seen ; however , the fact that he’s found physical attributes about her which he is drawn to  does  not  indicate any desire to have sex with her. let’s go back to the flower analogy : you might think a rose that you stumbled upon in a botanical garden is the most awe-inspiring thing you’ve ever seen , but you don’t want to fuck it. aemond is like that , but with people , too.  

it is here that i will briefly note :  personality  and  intellect  are  far  more  attractive  to  aemond  than  any  physical  attribute  will  ever  be  , especially when considering a potential partner !

so  under  what  circumstances  does  aemond  get  it  on  ?  a great question ! if you are familiar with the term  ‘  demisexual  ’  , that would be a pretty good way to think of it ( though i would characterize aemond as being so far on the extreme end of disinterested in sex , asexual is the more apt identifier in my opinion ) ! in plain terms :  aemond  will  enthusiastically  consent  to  sexual  relations  with  those  he  has  formed  a deep  (  romantic  )  connection  to  . for the one-eyed prince ,  LOVE  AND  SEX  are deeply and inherently connected ; all that to say , he could have  love  without  sex  , but he could not have  sex  without  love  . i would attribute some of this to the values and belief systems he was raised with , but i will also say that , considering the world which he lives in , aemond has an overall pretty progressive view on sex. if a man can have women outside of marriage without repercussion , why then should it be any different for a woman ? while he might have no interest in any of this himself , he does not externalize his views and experiences on others by any means.

and finally , i want to address this :  in  your  headcanon  ,  did  aemond  lose  his  virginity  at  the  age  of  13  as  is  implied  by  the  show  ? i think you can guess my answer , and it is  NO  .  yes  , aegon  did  take aemond to the brothel on his thirteenth name day , and  yes  , aemond  did  go to a room with one of the working girls that night. he won’t lie to you , he was curious at first , and the girl which was selected for him by his brother was indeed very pretty , but when she dropped her robe , straddled his lap , and asked the  sweet  little  prince  what he wanted , aemond promptly responded , ❛  𝐈  𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃  𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄  𝐓𝐎  𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍  𝐓𝐎  𝐌𝐘  𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐒  ,  𝐀𝐍𝐃  𝐈  𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃  𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄  𝐌𝐘  𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋  𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄  𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍  𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄  .  ❜  the girl was duly compensated for her time ( which she mostly spent bored out of her mind as aemond recounted his current studies to her ) , and to this day aegon still doesn’t know the truth about that night.

so yeah , that’s it , that’s the post. if you’ve made it this far , thank you for reading ! as i said before , this is very personal to me ; asexual characters are not easy to find in general , but especially in a series rife ( and often gratuitous ) with sex. i think this is part of what attached me to aemond so quickly , and i’m so glad that all of the lovely people that i’ve spoken to so far have embraced this aspect of him and have been so willing to learn and work with me to develop some amazing plots && dynamics ! so thanks again , and outside of an ic response , i swear you’ll never hear me talk about  anything  this much ever again !

mun is 24, she/her, writes out of CST in tennessee.

i'm amy, tend to go by trill on the internet, whichever is easier to remember. i never bite & i live ready to 'yes and' any ideas that come my way, so please drop in my inbox/dms. i always want to plot, the wilder the better. this blog is run very casually, but i do stay mostly on-topic and tag my ooc if you'd rather just see one piece content. also, full admission, i'm a fake fan that gets op info from my wife and youtube clips, so please forgive if i make a mistake about canon. long shows and my adhd simply cannot get along, but i adore this fandom and character so i work through.

i work a high-stress full-time job and my brain doesn't always choose Focus, so expect lulls and swells in activity!

 [ 01 ]  all interactions are zero pressure! never feel obligated to message, reply, etc. i am never offended by you getting busy or stressed and not getting around to tumblr things.

 [ 02 ]  this blog is selective, but not limited to mutuals. feel free to shoot me a message / ask / meme if you want to interact! i’ll check your blog and follow if we vibe. if i’m already following you, i think you’re awesome and i actively want to rp with you, so feel free to shoot something over if i haven’t already.

 [ 03 ]  i have a busy life outside of tumblr and horrible adhd, so i have to ask for some patience for all things related to this blog. rp is for fun, not something to stress over, and i extend that understanding to myself as well as everyone i write with.

 [ 04 ]  all things nsfw and ooc will be tagged accordingly. see below for the tag list

 [ 05 ]  this goes without saying but i’ll say it anyways: no godmodding, no powerplaying, no nsfw content with or involving minors.

 [ 06 ]  multi-threads are loved and welcome! feel free to drop threads as you need, send in as many memes as you want, turn askbox replies into threads, write a bunch of starters and tag me; i’m always up for more, and will never bug you about old rps.

 [ 07 ]  i’m here for just about any ships, be them crackships, hateships, smutships, classic ships, all of them. i’m also here for every flavor of non-romantic connections. however, the right vibe isn’t always there, and i will always discuss any kind of relationship with my partner beforehand. i refuse to be pressured into shipping of any kind, and won’t push my ships on anyone.

 [ 08 ]  all threads and relationships are in parallel universes, unless otherwise noted.

 [ 09 ]  i don’t have an issue rping with multiple blogs of the same character. if i’m already writing with a law, and you’re a law, bring your law. the more the merrier!

 [ 10 ]  i’m open to rping with ocs as long as there’s a detailed page describing them. multi-muse blogs stress me out for some reason, but i’m always open to checking them out to see if they’re an exception. fandom crossovers completely depend on my familiarity with the fandom. like all things tho, shoot me a message and we’ll see!

 [ 11 ]  outside of crack threads, i tend to write multi-para response. no need to match length!

 [ 12 ]  i absolutely crave darker themes, and if i have limits for anything involving 18+ characters, the internet hasn’t found them yet. if you find one, i’ll tell you, and i’ll always respect my partners limits. that said, feel free to pitch your worst. we can be muse torture buddies ~

 [ 13 ]  i’m always open to aus, crazy setting/theme-smashes, and wild plots. i’ve usually got plenty of ideas to springboard off of, and i love co-building. you’re welcome in my inbox with or without concepts on-hand; we’ll make something!

here’s a discord drop that i can reblog in the future bc i am lazy :

ᴀ ᴠᴇʀʏ sᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ʙᴇᴀɴ ☕🫘#1733

come plot and stuff !!

[scndbrn]

as demand has grown for threads and ask prompts , i have decided to start establishing mains !! as a main on this blog , you will receive priority when it comes to any kind of in character responses ; will be the first i approach for wanted plots / interactions ; and will generally be subjected to my ramblings on a regular basis. there is one requirement i have in order to accept you as a main :

we must have , at minimum , chatted about desired muse dynamics / plots . we don't have to have known each other for long or even spoken at length , but as i haven't had the chance to establish a lot of threads yet and some of my ooc communications have been inconsistent due to life circumstances , i do ask that we have at least worked towards plotting a dynamic. in lieu of this , an ongoing thread , no matter how few notes it has , is acceptable. i like to think i'm a pretty nice person though , so please don't let this deter you from shooting your shot if you're uncertain.

i will be aiming not to accept more than 5 mains per canon muse. exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

ocs are welcome to request to be a main !! obviously your muse is unique and thus is not subjected to the above rule , but your beans are valid and just as worthy of this opportunity in my eyes !

with all that said , if you are interested in main-ing it up with me , hit the heart ( multis please be ready to specify for select muses or blog-wide ) !!

[scndbrn]

but do i want 2 write helaena ...

[scndbrn]

modern!aemond is a kpop girl group stan and neither of us are ashamed to admit that

[scndbrn]

if you see a dragon blog that features vhagar and vermithor pop up , please know @jorrhaellagon forced my hand and i had no choice but to agree

i dont know the first thing about writing a non-human mUSE BUT IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN RIGHT

[scndbrn]

okay but should i just change my alias to bean cause i'm telling you it makes me feel so happy when u guys call me that ;u;

[scndbrn]

i'm entering my iconless era bc i wanna write and not be bogged down by making icons !!!

[scndbrn]

had staff holiday party tonight , finished everything for the kiddos for chanukah , now it’s smooth sailing and i’ll be around more often ! expect to see more writing and activity soon , plus my hel sideblog to pop up in the next few days. 😌💖

[scndbrn]

me : i have my google doc ready to go to type up some more kiss meme replies !

also me : ... but dragons sideblog ... yes ... 

[scndbrn]

ANYWAYS GUESS WHO'S FREE FOR TWO WEEKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scndbrn]

a heads up to the homies : i’m clearing my ask box . anything from more than two weeks ago with exception to prompts that call to me or asks from muses i have not yet interacted with will be deleted. i just cannot keep up and part of my stress being here is knowing how much has piled up. that said , you are ALWAYS encouraged to send me memes from however long ago to my inbox , even as i am deleting things ! if there is a prompt you sent in that you were anticipating an answer to , please feel free to send it in again. i don’t want anyone to think this means i don’t want to interact ; i do , but it’s overwhelming knowing that i have so many things to answer. i want to be here , i want to write , but i need to create a space where i feel like i can do that.

this ONLY applies to the inbox. any starters or ongoing threads will not be touched.

[scndbrn]

happy hondadays i’ll be around ✌️working on stuff on mobile metinks

[scndbrn]

kind of in a place where i’m not sure if i’m gonna be able to get to replies today , or if i’m gonna be SUPER PRODUCTIVE , so consider this a  reverse meme call  ???  SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON  and i’ll send some memes your way !! if you’re a multi , feel free to specify which muse i should send for ... or leave it to chance !!

[scndbrn]

please believe me when i say i am genuinely trying but my focus is fading QUICKLY.
