#Jaehaerys ii

[mejcinta]

When Aegon tries to leave, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera cling to him like this on Helaena's orders.

[obrienpolycule]

It's crazy that the hotd fandom will call prince jaehaerys "Jaehaerys II" when he was never crowned and there actually is a Jaehaerys II except no there isn't because in GoT they erased him and his siblings from existence and made Aerys II and Rhaella the kids of Aegon V so it doesn't matter

[thecatsaesthetics]

Why did the show universe erase the existence of jaehaerys ii?

I’m assuming it’s something along the lines of:

Aemond speaking his family's love language

My headcanon, because my attention span doesn't allow me to write a long fanfiction

1. Words of affirmation: Aegon

Aegon lived his life buried under expectations, wine and whores. Everyone wanted him to be something he was not, and he gave up trying to get his father's or grandsire's approval. He had long believe that no one had love for him and he's a disappointment. All he ever wanted was to have someone saying that they cared for him, loved him, are proud of him, but not even his mother answered with what he wanted. At first, Aemond was furious with his brother's nonchalant attitude

But when he saw his brother's hungry gaze at when Alicent told Aemond that she loved him, or when Helaena laughed at Aemond's gesture, Aemond finally understands. So he voiced his heart to Aegon at any moment that he could.

"My sword falls by your side, brother."

"You will have Storm's End, I'll do anything to give you that."

"You've gotten better at ruling. The smallfolk love you."

"You've fought fiercely. You're a true dragonborn."

"You've done well."

"I love you."

2. Acts of service: Alicent

Alicent had a lot of responsibilities. Her duty to the dying Viserys, her duty to her father, and her duty to the realm. She had to learn politics, the laws and uphold the kingdoms on her shoulders. So of course sometimes she would forget to take care of herself. But its fine because she had her son for that: Aemond would wake up everyday making sure that her serving girls knew their jobs, prepare her carriage everytime she needs to travel somewhere, preparing her tea and cakes whenever she works late at night. He would volunteer to handle some of her work to ease her stress and absolutely fret over her when she showed any sign of tiredness or sickness. Whenever Alicent said You don't have to do this, he would reply You've taken care of me alone my whole childhood. It is my turn to look out for you.

3. Quality time: Helaena

Helaena is seen as a freak by others. All she does all day was to play with her bugs and let out strange unrelated words. Her mother tried to connect with her to no avail, her father barely knew about her existence, and her older brother was too drunk to care. She didn't like being touched either, so she spends most of her time alone. Other than the times her younger brother approach her with a new bug that he found somewhere, and they would sit in a quiet spot in the woods, looking at insects and playing with them all day. Aemond was patient. She didn't want to be touched, she didn't enjoy talking, but he didn't force it out of her. He simply watched how she handled her bugs and learned her way, taking notes of them for her and rake the library for books to help her preserve them in the castle. They would spend long afternoons with each other in silence, she caressing a bug and him sketching it out into her small notebook. Helaena never said it outloud, and Aemond never knew it, but she felt the most peaceful when she was with him.

4. Gifts: Daeron

They didn't grow up together. Daeron was sent to Oldtown when Aemond was too young, and they only saw each other twice a year. But Aemond was strangely attentive to Daeron's words everytime they met, and he always had spontaneous gifts for his brother. Daeron could simply say that his saddle for Tessarion had a slight malfunction and his brother Aemond would ask for the best craftsman in Kings Landing to make him a brand new saddle in the latest design. Daeron could simply say that he loved a Kings Landing streetfood that he couldn't find in Oldtown, and Aemond would go out into the city himself to buy some for him. He could say nothing, and Aemond would send him things that he saw that reminds him of his brother: history books, a beautiful dagger from Essos, a thick fur cloak from the North. Daeron had cherished each and every gift, feeling as if he was surrounded by families.

5. Physical touch: Jaehaerys and Jaehaera

People were afraid of Aemond's scar and sapphire eye. Especially the ladies at court, and oh, children. Babes would wail in his presence, children cowered behind their mothers as he approached. It didn't matter to Aemond, it definitely didn't hurt, no. They were nothing but strangers to him, and Jaehsera and Jaehaerys were the only children that mattered. The twins were really Targaryens - they had the blood of the dragons in them, and had no fear. They didn't flinch when Aemond took off his eyepatch, instead, they babbled and reached out to him from their mother's embrace. They seemed to enjoy Aemond more than any of their wetnurses, always giggled and touched his face with their little hands. Sometimes, they refused to be let go from Aemond's arms - they would cling onto his neck from both sides and scream when anyone tried to pry them away, and Aemond was in charge of putting them to sleep those nights. When no one was looking, he would rain kisses onto their plump cheeks, smiling when they squealed and giggled. He would hold them so tight into his chest, one on each arm, and feel their faces pressed into his neck as they fell asleep. Aemond was never the one to express his love freely, but for them, for the two little suns of his life, he would be just as soft hearted as any uncle. For each of their little kiss, he would return with ten more.

Viserys I Targaryen and his son Aegon II vs Aegon II and his son Jaehaerys

alicent being forced to choose between saving aegon or saving helaena in the exact same way that helaena was forced to choose between saving jaehaerys or saving jaehaera, and making the exact same choice helaena did to save her daughter, because the truth is that there is no saving her son no matter what she tries to do... the writers ate this one lil thing because the parallels are paralleling

[ophelieverse]

“i was abed” yeah sure😒

[mejcinta]

Guys, is that King Aegon and Queen Helaena's personal sigil on Jaehaerys' open casket and does it look like... dragons flying around a sun???

[very-straight-blog]

I really don't understand the desire of the screenwriters to make absolutely everything in this series revolve around Alicent. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but all the events of the series REALLY don't need to be focused on her. Show me how Helaena runs to Aegon with her daughter in her arms. She finds him in the throne room and the whole company freezes, seeing her in tears, with a cut on her neck. The smile fades from Aegon's face when he realizes that something irreparable has happened. He sobers up immediately. Finish the episode on his face when Helaena says that Jaehaerys was killed and after we were watching the development of Aegon's relationship with his son, it'll hurt. Let me see the moment when he realizes that while he was getting drunk with friends on the throne, his son was being killed. Show me his eyes when he realizes that the fragile happiness he had was destroyed and he couldn't prevent it in any way. Children are the only thing these two have in common, it's their tragedy, don't take it away from them.

"This is a creation of his, this is something that’s come from him, that is pure, that is new, that is living, that is beautiful, that he’s proud of." — Tom Glynn-Carney

[welightthewaysource]

It's easy when you play a character like Aegon to be cold and calculated and pretty numb to it all. But Aegon's capable of loving. His son is a creation of his. Jaehaerys is something he made and is proud of. He sees a lot of himself in his son. This is what I was telling myself, it felt like he could almost start again with Jaehaerys. He could almost build the person that he wanted to be and never got a chance to be.
