She sees much and more, my Alys.

Don’t mind me feeding crumbs to my alysmond brainrot

alysmond brainrot continues <3

The thing that gets me about this fandom is how everyone demands you fight for some faction lol. Even beyond team green vs team black, which feels very silly to argue like they’re real people, you have strange chatacter wars and ship wars. Is it not possible for someone to like both Rhaenyra and Alicent as characters? Or to be interested in two ships that include the same character? This leads to so many useless arguments not only over source material and interpretation, but over real life harassment. A recent example I’m sure everyone is tired of: has to be a single group of people who are hating on Gayle Rankin’s casting. It’s the alysmonds or it’s the helaemonds. It’s neither! It’s some nasty individuals who want to make fun of an actress. That’s it. The tribalism is so exhausting when you just want to discuss the show and speculate 😔

you might not be able to tell judging by my combative personality, but i do agree. i think that, after the initial bout of ranting and making your arguments, getting that frenzied brainrot out of your system (which can feel pretty cathartic ngl), you should reach a point of reasonable equilibrium where you don't have to get so cantankerous over every little thing. the way the ~disk horse has evolved in this fandom is so wild and tiresome.

like you said, even with gayle's casting, it's like some people are standing on the edge of their seats to gather anecdotal evidence and use it as "proof" that either this or that subgroup is nasty with her and it means that they have been planning this all along actually and this is some master plan to promote THEIR ship. when, in fact, these are two separate things entirely - preferred ships vs casting thoughts. fans of all allegiances can be crude towards gayle, in truth.

also happy international labour day 🔨

I just got a fresh stash of art stationaries! Time to make Aemond and Alys kiss, have lots of babies, and even get married in the Godswood! I'm setting my own headcanon before HBO has a chance to ruin it for me 🤭🤪

I ship Alys and Aemond but I am worried about what they will do with her and Daemon in season 2 😔

Then I pray that he runs into Nettles while on his way to commit more war crimes against randos 😇 and takes off to Essos with a new dragon riding wife! 😌

Fuck canon, let’s ship #Aettles 🥹🫶

For anyone suffering from Alysmond brainrot -

I strongly urge you to check out @saintaemond 's HOTD collection on Ao3.

Take my word for it and let yourself be seduced by this dangerous ship!! 🕯️🖤🌹
