#the way things are always so tragic in the asoiaf world i’m scared

[terrorofthetrident]

thinking about olivia saying “the closest relationship [alicent] had is probably with aemond, but he’s turning into an absolute killer, which is terrifying for her” and how their relationship will change once she finds out about luke’s death. she’s going to be in such disbelief that the son she thought wouldn’t disappoint her, has in the most horrific way. will she even be able to look at him the same way again?? will they reconcile and be on good terms before he leaves king’s landing for the last time? based on ewan’s interview, aemond thinks his family’s love for him is conditional, i need them to prove him wrong. but then, wouldn’t it be so tragic if aemond continues on with that belief, desperately trying to prove he’s useful and worthy of their love by ending the war he believes he’s responsible for starting? no matter the cost, even if that means he has to die in the process.
