#theres so much for hotd to explore that wasnt described in detail in f&b and i am so so excited

[osferth]

No but you don’t understand how fucking excited i am for HOTD!! And Ewan Mitchell could seriously be so proud about getting the best role ever. I haven’t read the book but i did watch a ton of youtube videos explaining it and i gotta say that out of all the characters Aemond seems the most interesting one out of all. His story is so badass. Also im very HYPEEEEED to see Aemond mount Vhagar for the first time and based on the clip they will show it HOTD even though it didn’t look like Ewan in that scene, it’s probably a different actor for that part because Aemond was still a child at that time.

AJDHFJ im so sorry i didnt respond till now!! ive had a busy few days lmaoo but im back in the uk now

yeah leo ashton is playing young aemond in that scene! im so so excited for HOTD ive been looking forward to it for so long now, there's so many characters that i've fallen in love with (BAELA<33) but ofc i am most excited to see aemond for obvious reasons!!

i know he'll probably be one of the more outright villainous characters but thats okay bc i love a good villain (esp when its ewan) :-)

i've seen him be compared to joffrey loads but i don't think they're too similar. ofc they're both ruthless antagonists but if im being honest, aemond is who joffrey wanted to be lmfaoo. also i feel like his character will be explored more and potentially presented as sympathetic to a degree, especially when he's younger which will be v interesting.

spoilers / alleged leaks below!!!!!

i've heard that in the show aemond and helaena are portrayed as being really close (some think either they're in love or he loves her - dk how to feel about that looll) which will be really interesting if it's true, especially after blood and cheese. from what i remember, f&b didn't rly describe their relationship which i would've liked but trust the show will deliver <33

also aside from aemond's relationship with helaena and her children, his relationship with alys rivers could also make him potentially more sympathetic and "grey" (even if he's leaning towards the darker end of the greyscale lmaoo) which im excited to see in later seasons!!!!!
