Aemond and his sapphire HC

so I was rereading game of thrones and I came upon this thing about Symeon Star-Eyes, from the age of heroes.

"There was a knight once who couldn't see," Bran said stubbornly as Ser Rodrick went on below. "Old Nan told me about him. He had a long staff with blades on both ends and he could spin it in his hands and chop two men at once."

"When he lost his eyes, he put star sapphires in the empty sockets."

What if he or better yet Helaena was told those stories as children and Helaena was like you can still be a good warrior too, just like him as she gave hom the sapphire.😭 ah, omg plz someone write this

i am never moving on from this by the way. i'm still stuck to this moment - i will forever be stuck in this moment.

Insane. This is soulmate shit.

Just...put it all together:

Aemond One-Eyed dies above the God's Eye. He's impaled through the eye and falls to his death.

Helaena, a daughter of House Hightower who speaks prophecies, jumps from the top of a high tower and falls, then is impaled through the throat.

Both deaths happen at sunset on the same day.

Two characters that, despite being siblings, you wouldnt think were close given they don't really interact in the book. Yet THEY are the ones given such symbolic and mirrored deaths. Why? WHY GEORGE?!

What are your thoughts for helaemond in s2?

I really do wish for more content with them in Season 2 and I've been hearing from other people that it's something that GRRM or Condel is fascinated with. Which, I think that GRRM in general came into the writers room for season 2, cause, he has a story to tell with certain characters.

Like, if you read the Original edition of "FIre & Blood" then you know that in the beginning characters like Criston Cole and Daeron Targaryen had much more fleshed out and evolved characteristics that got watered down over the years. But it seems that GRRM still knows how those characters are supposed to be portrayed and he even told Neil Gaiman in an interview that he wasn't totally happy with HOTD's portrayal of certain characters ... and I think that Criston is one of them.

Also, GRRM has been fighting from the beginning to have Daeron in the show, saying that he is a pivotal character. And he's been talking up, for years, his want to explore Oldtown and I think he's been itching to reveal some important revelations and story there that has to do with Daeron of whom he started his life out as someone that GRRM seemed interested in as a protagonist or tragic historic character "The King that should've been" but then fell off.

I say all of that to say that someone in the writers room has an interest in Helaemond - Probably GRRM - and I wouldn't be surprised if we get some hardcore Helaena and Aemond content next season. Since Condel recently said - paraphrasing - "Season 2 will belong to the Greens". So it seems that GRRM is interested - for the first time really - in telling the Greens side of "The Dance" other than the early versions of Daeron's story.

what made you start shipping heleana and aemond?

I mixture of 1x06 - 1x07 and Tumblr.

I can't really explain it ... it just feels right. Plus, I'm a pretty big Buffy: The Vampire Slayer & Angel fan ... and Aemond & Helaena give big Spike and Drusilla vibes and I really love them together - Season 2 of Buffy is my favorite season of television ever made.

I'm just really interested in how that relationship works. Is it wholesome and pure - the one refuge that they both have in this unfilled life. Or is it an all together darker affair, where Aemond is this brooding and jealous figure who will corner Helaena in a corridor and smell her hair and call her a hateful woman for making him feel this way. But Helaena is unaffraid, cause she knows him, better than anyone else, and he won't hurt her. And she'll put his hand on her throat and dare him with her eyes, calling his bluff. But when he tries to storm away she takes his hand and kisses it, nuzzling it to her cheek.

Or maybe it's something completely else entirely.

It's just a fascinating concept and relationship that I just want to know more about. And every interpretation I see in fan art or read here just intrigues me more and more. The two actors and actresses did such a great job - Especially Mitchell and Saban.

I just love the aesthetic of this dark and brooding villain who is just this untameable badass but is secretly ennobled by this pure and innocent princess of whom is unquestionably the love of his life and who is to the very death a part of him. Just the contrast of them and yet being in love and on the same side, rather than on opposites.

I don't know, I just dig those cats, man.
