#and now team green stans are all yelling at each other and defending their fave or slandering alicent for abandoning aemond

[silver-dragonborn]

Well, if anything good came out of the shitshow that was House of the Dragon Season 2, it's that all the family-oriented Team Green headcanons that were lovingly written by those who stan Alicent and her children have been blown to smithereens.

"Alicent loves her babies! Here's an essay on how she--"

Alicent continuously tries to sue for peace even though she actively prepared her sons to war against the sister who was supposedly going to kill them, Alicent sees Aemond (her favorite little Hightower) as a monster who usurped her role as Regent, Alicent pities Aegon at best and is hatefully indifferent towards him at worse, Alicent only sees Cole as a means to indulge in her weird obsession for Rhaenyra, Alicent is single-handedly responsible for her daughter's unhappiness (marrying Helaena off to Aegon, forcing a crown she never wanted upon her head, and dragging her into a one-sided feud that spun out of control), Alicent threw her own sons under the bus when she snuck to Dragonstone to sue for peace and beg Rhaenyra, the woman Alicent swore would be a threat to her children, to run away with her. It just proves that it was never about "protecting" her babies from their "evil" older sister...this drama started over hurt feelings and envy and was extremely one-sided because Rhaenyra barely retaliated.

"B-but Daemon--"

At this point, it's safe to say that he never thought of his older brother's children until shit hit the fan and Lucerys was murdered. Daemon never thought about the Targtowers at all and only reacted when he found out that his brother died, his body left to rot, and his stepson murdered at the hands of his brother's son. If Daemon didn't think about his brother's children then, he is now because he has his own family to protect and avenge.
