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.

God… Sunday’s desire for control stemming from his fear of losing what he loves is like… gutting.
Look at what he did, look at the lengths he went to, looks at the lengths he was WILLING to go to if we didn’t stop him. And all of it was in good faith. ALL of it was to protect.
Do you guys get it?? He feels that deeply, he loves that deeply— so gravely that he was prepared to sacrifice himself to create a world where no one would ever know suffering or pain again. A world where he would become the ‘strong’ and protect the ‘weak’.
A world where he has control. Because under his control, no fledglings would ever learn what it feels like to plummet. He will become the metaphorical and literal cage that protects it.

Okay, but “I have no purpose” “your purpose is loving me” is at once so beautiful, so romantic, so soul-shatteringly lovely to hear—and so terrible. So heavy a burden. So unforgettably damning. “I’m your purpose. Anything that ever happens to me now weighs double. Anything that ever spins out of your control can crush you beneath the weight. I’m your purpose, and you are mine, and we are doomed to fail one another again, again, again. I love you. I need you. I’ve cursed you.”

slightly obsessed with the fact that Nyssa doesn’t appear in Kinda apparently because it was written before they decided to keep her on as a companion so rather than write her in they decide that she’s ‘recovering’ in the Tardis. But then Tardis wiki also states the reason she isn’t in parts 2 or 3 (she’s briefly at the beginning of part 1 then the end of part 4) is that they were renegotiating Sarah’s contract and she apparently didn’t mind because it gave her time to go shopping instead (iconic behaviour)
