I'm a little late, but happy one year anniversary to the fly on Aemond's hood.

I call it the Buzzing Ninja.

Our hearts were never one. I see that now. Rather, I have been a piece that you moved about the board.

You desire not to be free but to make a window in the wall of your prison. Have you never imagined yourself on the iron throne?

Don`t mind me just going on with obsessing over that Targtower brothers scene🙈

The way Aegon`s eyes are fixed on Aemond`s face - as if his whole being is attuned to his brother`s every move. Like in this moment Aemond is holding Aegon`s entire life in his hands - and actually he is.

The way Aegon continues staring at Aemond while giving zero fucks about Criston standing 0.5 inches apart and gripping him by the shoulder - until he begins to realize that Aemond is actually allowing this to happen. And then hope, pleading and some kind of lust (I`d like to explore this last one in a separate post - update: here it is) give way to -

- a heartbreaking mix of hopelessness and despair with a pinch of anger and a sprinkle of sadness. Phenomenal acting from TGC here👏 All of this is in the set of Aegon`s jaw, in the subtle movements of his mouth, in his posture and in the way he removes his hands from Aemond`s face and takes a step back. If only we could see his eyes (screw this angle, honestly).

And only then Aegon acknowledges Criston`s presence - by shoving him and storming away, as if saying 'Fuck you all! Yes, I`m forced to to this, but I refuse to be dragged. I`m going on my own'.

The thing is, IMO Aegon is that unbothered by Criston`s words and actions because he knows that there is a person who can literally, physically stop Cole from getting his way - probably the only one in King`s Landing if not in the entire Seven Kingdoms - and this person is standing in front of him. And he`s going to do this, right? He`s going to help because he`s his brother, and he asked him so nicely, and why the hell is he doing nothing? And then Aegon registers what Criston`s just said - "The Queen awaits". He`s here on the orders of his mother, the Queen, and so is Aemond. And Aemond is not going to go against their mother`s will, whatever Aegon says or does. He`s not going to pick him, he`s not enough - once again.
