thinking about how the greens are so conquerors-coded. obviously aegon ii has those parallels to aegon i, a terrible legacy and expectation of fire and blood, but helaena also has parallels with rhaenys as a queen who’s considered a softer counterpart to her husband and beloved by the smallfolk.
then there’s aemond. possibly the most visenya-coded targ since the woman herself. he has her dragon, her penchant for war crimes, her commitment to her duty, potentially also her black magic depending on what the truth of his relationship with alys is — but i think the way he’s most like visenya is in his relationship with his siblings, especially aegon. he really is aegon’s visenya — his sullen, sometimes disagreeable protector. his sword will always fall on aegon’s side. he saves him at rook’s rest, rules the country in his stead and doesn’t try to take it, eventually dies trying to secure his crown. say what you will about aegon and aemond’s relationship, i think at the heart of it he has visenya-like devotion and duty.

#it would be so fitting
#in any au where aemond survives the gods eye i think he should get dark sister
#it would be so thematically satisfying for him to get visenya’s sword
#by doing what visenya did - fighting for her aegon to unreasonable degrees
#and a key part of the visenya/aegon relationship is that it isn’t always pleasant
#but the loyalty is always there
#which i think is also true of aemond and aegon
#they fight all the time
#but aemond would kill and die for aegon without hesitation
