#(there’s also the aspect of Alicent and Aemond behaving like Wife and Husband.)

[alicent-archive]

i personally...liked the Aemond + brothel woman scene. I didn’t find it out of character or strange for Aemond to find solace and comfort with her. she’s playing the role (as she’s paid to) of a motherly support system, a support system that Alicent (through no fault of her own) cannot be.

Alicent and Aemond have a strained relationship; they’re both angry at each other. of course this emotional instability from one of his core people is going to cause Aemond to reach out to someone that ACTS and LOOKS like a motherly figure.

The duo have been parenting each other for years. it’s deeply messed up and toxic. and Aemond’s probably been this parentified version of himself since at least Driftmark. he never really had space to grow as a boy, when his family needed a man.

Aemond has always been this strange little guy, and I think people who are shocked by the scene have forgotten just how really vulnerable he is.

I actually thought it was good and showed how vulnerable Aemond is.
