#the battle was daemon’s rebirth 🙌🏽

[bohemian-nights]

The thought of Daemon saying something hurtful to send Nettles away because she refused to leave and allow him to fight Aemond by himself YIKES!

But also the thought that he decides to go fight Aemond as a suicide mission only to be in the middle of the battle and realizing that he wants to live! He can't just die, he HAS to go find her, he has to see of she's OK, he has to try for her he has to live for her. And that's when he takes the desperate leap of faith towards Aemond one last hope to see his Nettles again.

Also to add an extra layer to that if she was pregnant! The angst, the desperation, the yearning.

Yeah, Daemon is just desperate at that point. Nettles is just so persistently stubborn. He doesn’t want her to fake fly off and actually follow him into battle😬

I can definitely see him realizing at the 11th hour that he still has some life in him.

Nettles' execution letter was really a wake-up call. I think Daemon thought that it was his reckoning for all the crap that he’s done(rightfully so). So he makes sure that Nettles isn’t a victim, but he personally resigns himself to the punishment.

Like he goes into battle thinking that this is his last stand, but then reality once again sets in. He realizes that his story doesn’t end here. He’s got someone(s) out there that needs him. It’s not his time(in comes leaping off Caraxes and with hope and a prayer 🙏🏽 ). Very angsty, but poetically beautiful ♥️
