ngl, I loved the new season two trailer, and I'm excited to watch what's coming, but I'm kinda disappointed that it seems to be focused more on Rhaenyra's side and everything, not because I favor one side over the other, but because I (apparently mistakenly) thought that season two was going to be focused in the other direction, because the whole point (again, to me) isn't that one side is wrong and one side is right, it's that both of them are equally as bad as eachother in different ways, and literally none of them are supposed to be the hero in this story

Can we get a cute proposal scene pls like either like Jake and Amy or Leonard and penny
anything 4 u bby
Luke yawns lightly as he waits for Aemond to get home. Anticipation itches at the worn collar of a shirt that used to be his, and then was Aemond’s, and is now his again. His breath catches when he hears the door opening downstairs.
He forces himself to relax in bed, along the headboard with his back against Aemond’s pillow.
“Luke?” Aemond calls.
“Bedroom.” He answers. He hears Aemond climbing the stairs and smiles. A long day away from his love is soothed only by his incoming presence. Even if Aemond is going to be pissed when he sees him.
Past the point of rationality, Aemond is territorial over his side of the bed. He hates when Luke lays there and fucks up his immaculately made bed. all the fights they’ve gotten into about it haven’t stopped Luke from stretching out and burying his face in Aemond’s scent at every opportunity.  
Sure enough, Aemond comes through the door to their bedroom and his face pinches in anger. Luke struggles to keep from smiling.
“How was your day?” He asks innocently.
“You’re on my side.”
“You’ve eaten my ass and taken out my ingrown hairs. Why are you so weird about this? ” He jokes, but Aemond doesn’t laugh. He rips his jacket off and walks to their closet stiffly. He undresses quickly, mechanically, so graceful and practiced in his movements that Luke cannot keep his eyes from his muscled back.
“We’ve been together for years, why don’t you accept that it’s something I don’t like, and take it seriously?” Luke bites his bottom lip.
“I’m sorry.” He apologizes honestly. He does take Aemond’s dislike seriously, but his plan required a level of predictability to set in motion.
“It doesn’t matter.” Aemond says and walks out of their room. Luke hears him rifling around their linen closet and smiles. Predictability. He tucks the smile away before Aemond comes back in.
“I was thinking,” he says when Aemond comes back in holding a whole set of new sheets in his arms, “we should get married.”
“Married?” Aemond repeats back to him, looking at Luke like he’s sprouted a second head. Luke swallows, and nods.
“Yeah, I was just thinking, we’ve been together long enough, and everyone we know around our age is married and beyond. Baela and Jace are married, your brother and sister have three kids, and Rhaena has settled down too. It just makes sense.”
“You want to get married because it makes sense?” He squints at Luke.
“Well, yes.”
“Then, no.” Aemond places the sheets down on their bedside table and rips the top blanket from the bed. He doesn’t look at Luke while he does.
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t want to get married because it makes sense.”
“But you do want to get married?” Luke asks softly, heart hammering in his chest. He wouldn’t know what to do if Aemond said no. His temperamental lover was everything to him, and he wanted that everything to last forever.
Aemond looks at him, disgustedly. “Get off the bed.”
“A… Aemond… do you not want that?” Luke gets off slowly, fingers twitching for the part of himself left behind on the bed.
“Of course I want that. Practicality, however, was not what I expected of a proposal. Especially if there wasn’t a ring.”
“What is there was?” Luke stands and wobbles a bit. His knee felt like it would soon hit the ground.
“What if there was what?” Aemond asks, and turns his back to Luke to start stripping the bed. He grabs Luke’s pillow first and throws it to the ground, then reaches for his own.
“What if there was a ring?” Luke says and goes down to one knee and Aemond lifts his pillow.
“There’s a ring.” Aemond says, in that eerily calm voice that most people can not read. Luke’s made it his job in years of being in love with him to become fluent in that inflection. He knows Aemond’s answer to his question before he asks it.
“Will you marry me?”
Aemond snatches the ring from the bed and turns back to Luke. His eye is open wide, brimming with tears Luke started shedding from the second he was on one knee.  He answers in a kiss rather than a word.
The two of them dirty the sheets so thoroughly that Aemond is right to change them after. While he’s doing that, Luke goes to their cabinet to get them a celebratory drink.
He opens it and gasps.
There, placed precariously over the mouth of the bottle, is a ring. He turns around, and his boyfriend, now fiancé, is right behind him.
Aemond grins at him knowingly, “You know me well, but I know you better.” From then there were no doubts they’d be together forever.

Aemond can truly be called a villain after he'll execute the Strongs at Harrenhal and burns the Riverlands…until then, I definitely agree that it's way too soon to assign him this label. Maybe so far he would deserve it for killing Luke, but like you said, TB stans refuse to condemn Daemon and call him a villain for his bad deeds and will keep doing so even after B&C, yet we're supposed to do it with Aemond?
I also agree with the other anon that it's some Aegon stans who are often starting this whole Aegon vs Aemond discourse and I also think it's mostly because they are frustrated with how Aegon was treated by the writers vs how Aemond was (I think they did it to prop up Rhaenyra though, not Aemond, so everyone watching the show sides with her claim) but frankly they should direct their complaints at them instead of beefing with Aemond fans and lowkey hoping that Aemond also gets villainized next season by having him act like a psycho who cares about nothing except himself instead of receiving a proper arc with him slowly descending into madness.
That's not to say Aemond stans are innocent in all this. We all know how the Aemondwives act about him, claiming he's this very loyal, dutiful prince, who truly cares about the women in his lives and would never SA a woman (vs Aegon who's a rapist and Daemon who's a pedo -- just pointing out some of them say when they compare the men) and generally someone who'll never do anything, intentionally or not, that puts Aegon's claim or his family into danger…which we know is false and I'm sure they will change their tune once he hooks up with Alys ("hey we never said he's dutiful", "doing his duty did him no good, he still became a kinslayer, now he has every right to choose love this time since Alys is the only one who can love him for himself", etc.) and effectively loses the war for the Greens by abandoning King's Landing and then separating with Criston.
agree with much of this. but also... the more i think of what follows, the more depressed i get lmao
yeah neither aegon nor aemond have completely innocent stans who didn't feed in some way into the discourse. and with aemond stans it's tricky because many of them are not fans of tg characters, just aemond, so i've seen some say they don't care if he leaves them all for alys because they would too. some jokingly some not, it's the same narrative as parentified aemond narrative.
but yeah, i wish everyone would calm down and see the real villains (the writers!)
i'm joking i'm joking... but am i. my baby alicent </3
anyway we'll see what happens next season in the actual show but i'm sure that the great aemond vs aegon fandom war, 2024 ac will come

hey sweetie,
(don't worry! I am not going to lie, I might be a bit off this week because of uni stuff + anxiety is hitting me so... but yeah, pls don't ever worry about when you reply to me!).
in all truth, I always hear about Italian guys being hot, but 1) they really aren't and their mentality is honestly so awful (they are either so... terrible or fake intellectuals and the ICK!).
(also I relate to the bisexual thingy. because I only recently realized it last year and I haven't talked about it but with a friend and I am not going to lie, I don't feel threatened but also not safe... coming out?) .
listen... I don't endorse arranged marriages irl but I'd just like the universe to drop my soulmate in front of me. I... truly don't have time for dating and all that shit and I think that I have done enough therapy and personal growth to deserve a s/o, so indeed... build-a-boyfriend.
yeah, I love the whole thought of visiting different palaces and see me trying to do the most of it! (definitely brought over my 'comfortable shoes' so we shall see!).
but also like yesterday I and my friend went to the recreation of a 19th century ball (we know how to have fun, you can tell) and I was all thinking about doing it with aemond and ugh...
I'd like to point out something that I haven't yet arrived at 'carmilla' as I have understood the book is a collection of stories of the author and 'carmilla' is one of them and I have got to admit that I think the whole psychological and concepts behind these stories are very interesting but the writing is a bit... complex. but I shall let you in further in 'carmila'.
I actually discovered a new used bookstore in the uni city and there was a copy of 'the age of innocence' for half of the price and I am not going to lie, I have always been curious about that author, so do let me know what you think about it! and I am always a slut for pretty books.
OH THAT SEEMS SO COOL! I am not going to lie, there are a whole lot of interesting festivals and we have one in my city for children books and it's always wonderful BUT IT'S SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE UGH!
I hate how much culture costs, ugh. also that place seems so freaking cool and I'd be also spending my paychecks for different books... ahh good times.
if anything fails, I am opening a cool bookstore/coffee (I saw one yesterday where you can drink and knit and I UGH) and just live there.
yeah, I think that we talked about 'rebecca' before, through our first conversations and I am not going to lie, I truly loved it, although I was sideyeing everybody! in general I love romances and gothic novels, it's just the ugh... feelings.
also, as somebody who also has trouble accepting compliments, I get it all too well, and don't worry, I just think it's fitting and I am truly going to try to read more of your Eddie stuff as I truly enjoyed the way you portrayed him! oh gods, same. also I don't know about you but I was utterly blindsided by that death because I was like 'oh no, he is so popular, they won't kill him' and I ugh...
my plan if I went to do to my internship abroad in England was to visit Derby and just pretend that I casually met Ewan, so... but yeah... Derby has been definitely noted down as a place to visit...
(and I'll check out the show! I mostly saw edits and I am not going to lie, men in uniforms).
AHAHAHAHA, poor babes, they truly aren't getting the sleep and smexy time they need! but I love these headcanons and convos and they are so funny, so thank you for sharing them!
oh no, I get the whole same things about scarves (in fact I always get annoyed when it starts smelling like the outside and not my perfume) and it's utterly comforting, so catch me spraying aemond's cologne - for reasons - on my scarves if were were in a relationship. also taking a nap with it? THE DREAM.
thank you, sweetie! this weekend truly got me tired, but I got to be at the art exhibition and we even visited a museum and I caught with a friend, so I had a whole lot of - indulgent - fun!
I hope you got a nice weekend and your week will be fantastic!
-🌗
Bestie aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I am once again replying a million years late, it's been a WEEK. But the worst has passed, and now I'm unscrambling my brain, sitting down on the 'puter to reply properly like I'd been wanting to.
Oh gosh that really sucks to hear! because yeah I definitely had that same idea (I mean, heh, Maneskin lsdjfldkjg) and I had no idea and it's awful that you have to deal with that home! I can absolutely relate in the same sense. We DO need for our s/o's to fall into our lives miraculously because otherwise, I have no idea how that would happen given our respective contexts lmao. I'm slowly (and reluctantly) learning to accept that I will become a hermit. And also, the same here about sexuality actually! I think I had enough alone time during the pandemic to realize it. And I feel the same way about telling that to the people that know me irl, mostly because I was the one to be so adamant about being straight for so long, for the context I was raised in, that I don't know how my mom and friends would feel about it when I come back like, 'hey, you know what????? nevermind"
omg now enough time has passed that I must ask how the rest of the trip is going/went!?? LOVE that you got to indulge in a little Aemod daydreaming during the recreation of the ball! but also just in general that sounds sooo freaking cool as well as the trip to the museum!! Literally this week I’ve been like, ahhhh I wonder what my bestie’s trip is looking like right now. Also, will be looking forward to more when you get a little further on reading Carmilla! (I haven't gotten further in neither The Blind Assasin or The Age of Innocence lmao) But on that note, AHH I'm dying to read your vamp!Aemond story!! I'm saving that one for this weekend because I want to properly curl up and enjoy it without worrying about anything. I did read the first few paragraphs which is why I was like, wait wait wait, I'm gonna save this one to savour it. But turning any blorbo into a vampire has GOT to be my favorite trope. Which, tieing into your point about gothic romances, there's really nothing more delicious than a gothic romance - with a little creature in it!? amazing.
Also about culture, LITERALLY! but the part that makes me mad is that, it should be more accessible but also, everyone in that works in the field is so underappreciated and underpaid, so I get it. And it also frustrates me that, I wish I had enough money to give more of my support to artists I like and such, but I'm in the same field and I don't have that kind of money! aahhh it's a struggle.
Re: Eddie. Once again, thank you sooo so much!! Ngl I really kinda wanna get into writing for him more once my life feels a little normal. At the very least I want to finish my vampire story with him (speaking of vampires). And speaking of vampires, ohhh I might be delusional but I am CONVINCED he will return as Kas. All the signs are there (and I'm gonna be an absolute fool if he, in fact, doesn't lmao).
Also it’s so funny about Derby because deadass I’ve had this fantasy since the beginning of time that that’s how I’m gonna meet and marry Domhnall Gleeson, by exhibiting my work in Ireland and then he stumbles into the gallery and ‘OHH MY, instant connection! (Don’t @ me) lately I’ve been imagining something similar with Ewan LMAO
Also about the scent on the scarves! I’m so dumb. You’re literally hosting your milestone event, I should’ve requested that 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ UGHH do let me know if you’re still taking requests and if I can request more than once? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 because I’d love to read this fantasy about scent with hcs from you!
Hope you’re having/had an amazing time, and that the beginning of summer is going great for you, my darling!! X
