What if Helena’s kids are really Aemond’s. If so then “A son for a son” is really gonna hit different

I like how Alicent talks down to and judges Rhaenyra for her family’s queer customs only to just fall in line with the rest of them and allow her kids to marry each other. 😆

Once you realize Helaena's a dreamer, if you go back and rewatch the episodes with infant Helaena, you notice that she's always crying, and not typical baby fussing. She sounds like she's constantly screaming in horror, it's chilling.

Why does no one consider Aegon the beast beneath the boards. He was found under the floor boards only to be sat upon the throne and become a crazed man…right?

I love how Helaena became kinda of a uniting force among the fandom. No matter which side people support, everyone agrees that Helaena is innocent, kind and deserved better. I would like her to have a thing with Aemond because I like to think she had at least one person in her life that appreciated her awesomeness 🥺💚

You could also see how Aegon stared at Aemond when Jace and Helaena were dancing as if Aegon is more concerned how Aemond is taking it.

Helaena chose Maelor because he was so young that he wouldn't know what was going on & wouldn't see the death coming. That was part of the cruelty of B&C killing the opposite child- not only was Jaehaerys old enough to know his death was coming & no doubt be terrified by it but Maelor, when he was old enough to understand, would also know that he was his mother's choice to die.

I’ve seen people point out that when Jace and Helaena are dancing, if you look in the background, you can see Aemond staring at them, this parallels Daemon watching Rhaenyra dance with Laenor and Harwin at her wedding - a Targaryen prince watching a Targaryen princess dance with a Valaryon prince and a Strong boy. I think Aemond x Helaena would be an interesting foil to Daemon x Rhaenyra, D&R flout all convention to be together, while A&H love each other behind closed doors.

7:36 I think it's a bit presumptuous to say she was dressed in "sapphire blue." While she is dressed in blue, it's much closer to turquoise. I would think that sapphire would be deeper, think a royal blue. Her clothes have far to much green hue to be described as "sapphire."

I think Aemond is too self righteous to have an extra marital romantic relationship with his sister, but I do think they love each other a lot and they must spend a lot of time together. Maybe because they are both introverts, they bonded and are each others safe place, which is very cute. I love both characters a lot, they are my two favorites from the greens side =)

Did everyone not notice they placed a pig in front of Aemond and Luke started to laugh due to when they gave him a pig as a kid and THAT'S why he got mad?

I do believe Aemond loves Helena, but not romantically. Aemond knows how screwed up his family is and Helena is the only one pure of heart. That's something worth protecting. Plus, everyone underestimates her intelligence and abilities, much like Aemond was laughed at because he had no dragon. That's a cause for kinship between them. For all of Aemond's callousness, he possesses a depth of feeling few people understand because he is (mostly) in control his emotions. He's not stupid enough to become romantically involved with Helena even if he were to feel that way. He does what duty requires of him. I do hope we see more of them interacting in the future but I doubt it will go where you suggest. To me, it just seems out of character.

I seriously don’t think Aemond has anything going on with Helaena. I think his statement to Aegon at Laena’s funeral, when Aegon was saying that he didn’t want to marry his sister cause she’s weird, was taken out of context. All he said was, I would do my duty. I take it more as he’d do it because that’s what’s expected of him if he were to be a king. Also, Aemond didn’t flip out at the dinner because Halaena was dancing with Jace. He flipped out cause Luke was laughing at him when they put the roasted pig in front of Aemond.

has anyone noticed that most of halaena's dresses are yellow / gold like the ones that young rhaenyra used to wear? i think she wore green maybe once this entire season, but for the most part, she dressed like young rhaenyra

I ship Helaena with happiness, life, and proper dreamer training; whatever that might be. Good theory. I def also think Aemond and Helaena are mirrors of Narys and Aemon. There's so much good lore for all of these characters.

If Helaena’s children with Aegon are actually Aemond’s. Then "A son for a son" will literally turn Aemond into a monster., if this is true.

I disagree entirely with your take on Helaena looking away because of Meleys’s impending arrival. She is literally staring at Aegon up until the crown is on his head. then she never looks at him again other than the mandatory curtsy. highly believe she is seeing Aegon morph into a monster and is repulsed by it

At least I'm not alone in thinking this and shipping these two! I also think Helena's twins might be by Aemond, seeing as there's a theory one of the children say his name when Alicent calls out "father" to Otto. It also makes me wonder if it may contribute to one of the factors leading to Helena's suicide, seeing as Aemond is killed not too long before then. It's all really sad, regardless, but I enjoy the special bond they share, even as siblings.

I think Aemond and Helaena would definitely be better suited to rule, and I think Helaena is Aemond's one solace. I think he will really go through the emotional wringer over B&C regardless of whether theories are correct. I want to say Aemond fathered Helaena's children but I also think Aemond, at this point, thinks too highly of his own sense of morality/duty to do anything like that - especially as he's grown up with Alicent's vitriol about Rhaenyra's own bastards and even perpetuates it himself.

I can see Aemond quietly seething over Helaena and Jace dancing but that didn't trigger the toast. It was seeing Luke giggling at the roast pig in front of him, a callback to the prank they pulled on Aemond during their childhood, that broke him.

I thought that Haelena and Jace would have been a good couple if they had married. It would have kept the war from starting too. But "roads not traveled"

Helaena and Aemond are easily my favorite of the Hightower kids.

I like this theory, and if it's true, I'm really hoping we get some scenes between Aemond and Helaena and his possible children. Show Aemond acting like a loving uncle/father to Jaehaerys, right before he gets killed by Blood and Cheese, that scene will be so much more impactful if we actually develop a bond with Aemond and his children. Just like how they gave Rhaenyra and Luke some sweet scenes in episode 10 to make the ending much more dramatic. One of the things that annoyed me about season 1 is that the blacks and greens both got their villainous moments, but only team black got heroic and/or sympathetic moments. Even the music seems biased, when Rhaenys murders hundreds of people to stick it to team green the music is triumphant, but when Aemond kills Luke and sticks it to team black the music is very different. The upcoming civil war is going to feel much more tragic if there are people we are attached to on both sides, while currently all the normies and the more simplistic book readers just cheer for team black and see team green as the baddies. I really hope they start working on fixing that in season 2.

Helaena’s children are Aemond’s not Aegon’s. 11 reasons why Reasons: 1) In episodes 7 Aegon says he doesn’t want to marry her and Aemond says that he would and perform his duties. 2) Aegon doesn’t care for his duties that’s why Helaena never seems to know where Aegon is. 3) In episode 8 when Helaena gives her speech about marriage she says “it’s not that bad he mostly just ignores you” then she takes a pause as she looks at everyone realizing that if Aegon ignores her all the time than how could he be the father her children. Then she says “except when he’s drunk” to cover her own behind and her children. And then everyone starts laughing and Otto says “Good” as in good you managed to save your own behind. 4) When Jace ask Helaena to dance Aegon looks at Aemond like he knows about him and Helaena and to keep a cool head as to not expose themselves by getting angry for asking Helaena his lover to dance. 5) In episode 9 right before Otto and Alicent come in to her chambers to ask where Aegon is she tells her children that if one sibling is giving everything the other will get jealous and want to take it themselves which represent Aemond he feels that the Iron Throne and Helaena should be his not Aegon’s. 6) Right after Helaena tells Otto and Alicent that she doesn’t know where Aegon is Otto storms off to come up with a plan to find and Alicent tries to talk with him and she says “Father” and you can hear one of Helaena’s children says “Aemond”. 7)Aemond looks shocked to find Alicent in Helaena’s chambers and Helaena looks at him them looks down nervously since they both know they shouldn’t be in her chambers alone since she is a married women and Targaryen’s are known for incest which can cause rumors to spread about them and the legitimacy of her children. 8)Aemond tells Ser Criston that he’s next in line for the throne if Aegon is dead or cannot be found. This statement would only be true if Helaena’s children weren’t Aegon’s . If Aegon was dead or they couldn’t find him then Aegon and Helaena’s first born would be next in line not Aemond. But he knows he is next in line because Helaena’s children are his bastards. 9)Aemond says “Tis I the younger brother who studies history and philosophy, it is I who trains with the sword, who rides the largest dragon in the world, it is I who should be….” Then pauses and many people thought he was referring that he should be the king but as episode 9 goes on he doesn’t care about others knowing his ambition to be king. The reason he paused was because he was going to say “It is I who should be with Helaena.” Ser Criston says he knows the feeling of not being able to have what you want in Ser Criston case who you want which Ser Criston wants Alicent. This leads me to believe that Aemond was talking about how Helaena should have been his wife”. 10) This show emphasizes characters hair as a way to determine parentage if you notice Aegon and Helaena both have wavy curly hair but “their” children have straight hair just like Aemond. 11) When it looked as if Rhaenys was going to burn them with her dragon Aemond protects Helaena and she grabs his arm when I believe the show depicts her as being autistic since she some characteristics like she doesn’t like physical contact when Alicent hugs her in episode 8 she just stand still with her arms down and in episode 9 Alicent tries to console her by touching her arm she pulls away so if she is portrayed as being autistic as I believe she is. She would only have physical contact with someone she trust like her lover Aemond.

I think if this theory were true and played out on the show and Allicent were to find out the news that her own grandchildren- and the future heirs to the throne- were actually bastards. It would be very interesting to see her internal struggle and reaction towards the news. Especially considering her entire campaign to surplant Rhaenerya as heir to the intron throne rests entirely on the claim that her children are bastards. Allicent has always led by her convections and faith, so something like this would completely undermine her son’s claim to the throne.

One additional point of support for this theory might be Aemond's relationship with Alys Rivers, a witch-like girl living in Harrenhal. He hooks up with her around the same time Helaena dies, maybe Aemond sought comfort with her because her gifts reminded him of his recently deceased sister's prophetic gifts? Also, I would like it most if Daemon did NOT know Aemond was Jaehaerys' father, and he unintentionally paid Aemond back much more than he intended to. It could be a nice reveal for Daemon later on, maybe before their final battle.

I never considered their relationship to be so intimate, but it's interesting to speculate. Especially considering that, if Helaena's twins are actually Aemond's, then his attitude towards the Strong bastards is deliciously hypocritical lol

When Aemond enters as Alicent and Helaena are talking (after Alicent is interrupted by Helaena when trying to convey the news about the King's death) I don't think Aemond went to comfort Helaena, as you mention. After all, no one was supposed to know and Alicent was JUST about to tell Helaena in the first place. So what was Aemond doing visiting? Why did Helaena look a bit conflicted when she sees him (as though the internal monologue is "oh woops, how do we explain you coming to my chambers like this, this is awkward")? So I think there definitely may be something there for that reason. Great video. Thank you!

Aemond didn't lose his temper at dinner because they were dancing it was Luke snickering at a stuffed / roasted pig placed near Aemond

I think this video is excellent, I personally 100% believe the theory that Helaena and Aemond are .. deeply involved. I think it makes sense, and I think it makes even more sense that Daemon would kill one of Helaena's children because they were really Aemond's children.

At this point, Aemond MUST know that his sister has dragon dreams. Alicent and Aegon just think she's weird. There's also a scene where he tells Cole all the reasons why he should be king and stops himself mid-sentence. Maybe he wanted to say: "It is I who should have married my sister".

I think Jacaerys and Helena would have been perfect for each other and the realm. A Hightower would have been wed to a Targaryen on the throne, and the peace might have continued.

I was kind of skeptical of this until the end of the video when one of the twins says "Aemond" after Alicent says "Father" Its like symbolic in a way (if this theory is true) almost mirroring the connection/relationship.

As much as the Blood and Cheese situation was horrible I feel like what happens to Maelor is worse Jaherys at least had a quick death but poor Maelor was torn apart by the mob.

We quickly forget how Aemond was made fun of as a child. He's only teasing the strongs I like Aemond...

I think it's great Aemond looks out for his sister

Helena is a really interesting chracter when you dig into it, i how she's given more screentime in s2

I think Ryan condal put a lot of thought and care into this show and you might be onto something about the directing decisions with Helena. But about aemond I think he would be another maegor the cruel as daemon is described. His decisions would all be based on vengeance, not justice.

So "boards" in a pre-industrial context refers to a dining table. "Above board" being the opposite to, "under the table". So to say something is "beneath the boards" is referring to something hidden in plain sight, something underhanded (underhanded being another reference to being under the board).

It’s deceitful to lead with Aemond saying he’d marry Helaena if Alicent arranged it…when he didn’t say that. He said he’d marry her if it were “HIS DUTY” as king, and in context given Aegon was complaining to him about hating that he was betrothed to he’d. Aemond was literally saying “stfu, do your duty…you have one job and it’s a job id gladly due-be king-without complaint.” That’s all Aemond meant, and it’s meant to show how loyal he is to his house and how much of a traditionalist he is, which is why he’s most studied and has done everything Alicent asks of him.

One of the other messed up aspects of Blood and Cheese is that even though Maelor is the youngest, he can still somewhat understand what's going on. To twist the knife further into poor Helaena, they mock the child and sneer that his own mother wanted him to die and not her other children. That sticks with her so horribly that she can't even look at her child again. I can't imagine how difficult that scene will be to film, I'm sure they'll need counseling of some sort after such a horrific event, even if it is for a show.

My personal take is that Aegon IV/Naerys/Aemon the Dragonknight are red herrings who are meant to both hint at and distract attention from the real love triangle of Aegon II/Helaena/Aemond. Naerys and Aemon's supposed affair gets all of the attention in history, but I think the accusations of an affair were actually false. Naerys and Aemon didn't ever consummate their relationship, and Naerys' children were her husband's. But the suggestion that such a thing COULD have happened is there, and if you're paying close enough attention, you can follow the family tree up a couple of generations to see the real love affair. But Helaena and Aemond got away with it without anyone (publicly) suspecting. And as you said, it would make the choice between the two sons and the "a son for a son" punishment cut so much more deeply if one was Aemond's own child.

Aemond loses his temper when the Strong bastards laugh at him because of the pig roast placed in front of him (that they probably arranged)

Aemond gave that toast to Luke and Jace at the dinner because Luke smiled at the idea of the pig being brought in for the feast, which Aemond associated with Luke still laughing at him over the prank of the Pink Dread.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's sensed something like this. Was worried the show had messed me up and I was just seeing incest all over the show.

I don't think Helena and Aemond would defy duty and the honor of their family by having sex and cuckolding Aegon, to be honest. Although I think Aemond sincerely cares about Helaena more than Aegon would ever...and based on the leak, the Lucerys's murder/death was not intentional on Aemond's side (I think he hated Lucerys enough to wish him death, but he logically knew to not 'pull the trigger' so to speak since it'd kill every possible diplomatic solution then, but every dragon is connected so wholly to their riders, so it's not a surprise Vhagar took the initiative to deliver the killing blow although Aemond said 'no'), so when Blood & Cheese happens later on, it will hit him harder. Not because the child in question belonged to him, but because Aemond probably blamed himself for failing to protect Helaena (plus the child)--who are his family-- and being the main cause of that incident.

Dreamfryer laid Danny’s eggs 100 years before Healana was born. That Healana is the mother of dragons is even more of a leap than Aemond and Healana.

I'm interested in her relationship with her mother too. She literally recoils everytime Alicent touches her lol. I wonder what happened there. but in the books, tho its not really explored much, i didn't get the feeling that they weren't close. she took her kids to see their grandmother every night. i wonder why they change in the show? either way, i still love it. if it flows with the story, nothing wrong with a little rewriting here and there lol

I also love how the show is shaping Aemonds character, the context of why he's how he is, and more misunderstood. Definitely not canon, but I love it

this is already debunked by the opening credits. we see Aegon and Helaena's blood merge. theyre Aegon's kids.

I think the second time she talks about the beast beneath the boards, she is referring more to Blood and Cheese. She seems more upset which would make sense given how that plot will change her life forever.

Yep, I'm down with Helaemond ❤️‍🔥

Aemond got angry and made the toast for the strong boys only when Luke smirked due the roasted pig that was set on the table, in front of Aemond, remindind him of the prank the pulled on him when the were kids "the pink dread"...the dance did not seam to bother him

Other fans are quick to dismissed the possibility of Aemond and Helaena having an affair because it did not happen in Fire & Blood and by the end Aemond falls in love with Alys Rivers whom he got pregnant. But i would like to point out the similarity between Alys and the TV version Helaena. Book Alys had the ability to see visions on fires while TV Helaena is a dragon dreamer, she's able to see visions as well unlike her book counterpart, who was described as pretty normal not eccentric. Its hard to say if Alys Rivers would also be included in the show by the end but TV adaptations like to change some things in their book counterpart. Also, scenes like Aemond entering Helaena's chamber without warning makes it so hard to disregard or deny the speculations between them. The writers wrote the script on each scenes like there's something to be speculated with and I would like to point out that every dialogue or action in a scene had meaning, that's called good writing. I would like to point out my reasons for "assuming" or "speculating" why Aemond and Helaena have a secret "thing" going on. First: The dialogue exchanged between Aegon and Aemond about Helaena's bethrotal to Aegon. Aegon's words lets the viewers peek through his emotions about his sister. Meanwhile, There's Aemond's dialogue where he says, if he was bethroted to her, he would have gladly married her. Out of duty and it also might be out of fondness he felt for his sister. Aegon always bullies Aemond, this might have created resentment on his part. This would make him prefer his sister, creating a deeper bond amongst the three of them. The writer could have let Aemond say nothing on this scene. They could have let him agree with his brother's predicament because in Fire & Blood, Aegon and Aemond seem pretty close. But They didn't. They also changed Aegon's good relationship with Aemond compared from the books. Making it a bit toxic. Second: The character's actions being shown are a bit odd. Yeah they are siblings, they might care for each other like any other siblings normally would BUT they are Targaryens. Their family practices incest. A grown Aemond is seen standing between Helaena and Aegon during Rhaenyra's trial. They are married at this point, and as a married couple, they are required to be seen standing by each others side like social convention dictates they should. There's another scene during Aegon's coronation, as Aegon's wife Helaena should have been standing next to him as she at that moment, is also crowned as Queen to him and to the Realm. But she stays standing by over to the side, farther than what was expected. Aemond was the one who stood beside Helaena as she looks away from her newly appointed king-husband as he flamboyantly raised his sword as the crowd cheered on and on. What defines their closeness even more is when Aemond shields Helaena when Meleys broke free. He tilts his body to the side with his other arm extended slighty towards his sister-a protective gesture. Helaena reacts by affectionately touching his arm, a gesture of reassurement that she's not brought to panic by the situation. Yes they are brother and sister. And brothers do protect their sisters (old or young) But so is Aegon and Helaena. But we don't see Aegon rushing towards Helaena's side to protect her as a husband/brother normally would. Even Sir Cole shields the princess when Alicent ordered him. She knew that her daughter should be protected at that moment, by her brothers, by a kingsguard and especially by her husband. Third, Jaecerys and Helaena's dance. In the book, it was Aegon who took offense by Jace's gentlemanly gesture. In the show, yes Aegon looked quite in disbelief and insulted But it was Aemond's cold glare that takes the cake. As Helaena gave her hand to Jace, Aegon and Aemond switches glances towards each other. I think it was mostly about how far Jace dared to go that 'closely' to them by asking the sister of the uncles he had a bad history with. But its odd how as the camera rolled, we see Aemond's full attention is directed towards the dancing Jace and Helaena. His chair was angled towards their direction as he watched sternly from afar. This is what created his bad mood over to this scene, it was only when luke smiled at him sarcastically when a pig was served on the dinner table that Aemond completely snapped. Fourth, This scene. The writers's talent in HoT is so good that its making it hard not to SPECULATE. It's like Jon Snow's real parentage speculation all over again. When Alicent called out to Otto, she said "Father" At that moment, one of the child actor mumbles a name that sounded Aemond. (Of course, this part when the child actor mumbles something on the screen is PART OF THE SCRIPT. the directors wouldn't include it if it wasn't needed) BUT IT WAS SHOWN. It was NOT CUT out of the scene. There's a reason why that child mumbles something out of nowhere and it is IN THE SCRIPT. There's a catch though, the way the child mumbles this name is unclear. But the pronunciation is close to Aemond's name or Daemon or even Aegon. Not only that, After that child murmurs a name that sounds exactly the same with Aemond. AEMOND barges in suddenly without a warning in Helaena's chambers. He doesnt say anything but he glances weirdly at his sister and his mom. He could have said something in this scene like "What happened?" or "I saw grandfather distressed, is there something going on" or "Mother, I've been searching for you" that would indicate that he came barging in because his either curious of what was going on or if he was looking for Alicent. But no. HE DOESNT SAY A WORD, he just stares at Helaena and Alicent. Thus, his intentions of barging in his sisters chambers suddenly out of nowhere is unclear and WEIRD! the writers got the viewers thinking "What the fuck does that supposed to mean? is there something going on between those two?" etc. THE WAY THE ACTORS ACTED ON THAT SCENE IS PART OF THE SCRIPT and these actions, subtle or not, have a greater meaning. WHAT WERE THE WRITERS TRYING TO CONVEY? If it doesn't have a significant meaning to the story, then the writers shouldn't have wrote it like there's something to be speculated to begin with

it would be a messed up situation but I thought that maybe Aegon ordered Aemond to father an heir through Helaena, he didn't love Helaena so he might not have wanted to bed her so he ordered Aemond to do instead. It would have been an agreement for the three of them. Aemond would have his child as an heir to the iron throne and Aegon looks like he wouldn't care if his prince is his own or his brother's. that was just my theory.

Plot twist: Aemond is the Night King.

Very good connections being made here, nicely done

The three eggs were laid and stolen way before Helaena was alive. It happened while Dreamfyre was bonded to another Targaryen queen so this cannot be attributed to Helaena at all.

Aemond was not mad about the dance between Jace and Helaena but Luke smirking at him when the roasted pig was sat in front of him. This fan theory of Aegon being the father of Heleana's children is overreaching.

I've just discovered your RU-vid. I'm newly subscribed. You're doing solid work, well done.

At the dinner Aemond got mad when the cooked pig was placed on the table in front of him and Lucerys gave a little laugh recalling the pink dread. The pink dread was the "dragon" (pig with wings and a tail) presented to Aemond by his brother and cousins when they were children.

I’ve been running with this theory since Leana’s funeral like I’m Al Bundy on the Polk High football team. This is my Green side Daemyra ship.

How have you gotten pictures of the episode already? Did they air it early?

agreed, Haelana is the bees knees. she’s the ‘weird girl’ representation we needed in this mediaeval fantasy!

oh yes baby!! A new asoiaf channel with a nice voice, very happy to have found you! great video.

Aemond got pissed because of the pig that was placed in front of him and that set him off

* it wasn't them dancing that made Aemond lose it, it was after the pig was placed and giggles ensued lol

Awesome vid girl. I didn't notice Haelena wasn't looking! What is the beast beneath the boards? Ah. You think it was Meleys. I've heard Blood and Cheese. Even Aegon hiding. I can't believe season already over!! It was so much better than I was expecting. Aegon is a hot mess. That toast was funny. And a bit sad. Ought to be a great finale. Take care. Ttys🖤🐉🎃😘😍 Could the spider be connected to Larys?🤷

She's dressed that color during the coronation because of her dragon

I feel like "beast beneath the boards" refers more to Aegon hiding underground while they were looking for him.

Who would have ever thought that incestual brother and sister relationships would become so common in fiction and especially this world that the shock factor is completely gone and we just accept it as normal....like WTF

i think aemond and Helena doesnt have aromantic story. he is such his caring brother.

Love this content. You have a new subscriber in me!

Thank you !! Great post today ‼️🐉🔥🔥🔥

Genius-level reasoning. Fey wins. Flawless victory.

Excellent theory!! Yes so much makes sense now!

Headcannon accepted. Great video!

I love these two characters. Your theory definitely was convincing although if Jahaera and Jahaerys are supposed to be Aemond's do you think there would be lines coming off both Helaena and Aemond in the opening credits or are you thinking even the credits are unreliable?

Whats the music right at the beginning of the video

The beast beneath the boards would either refer to Larys Strong (warging a rat) or Blood and Cheese

Aemon and Nearys is another story it is said they loved each other but we still don't know if they had something more than sibling love about Aemond and Haelena I don't think it is true for a few reasons : 1.Helena's blood don't mix with Aemond but Aegon and as you said yourself Maelor is not born yet so twins are his 2.Haelena is dutiful person same with Aemond but he is also proud exception is Aegon that's why he is always scolded by Otto and Alicent never Aemond or Haelena.I don't think he would do this Haelena also. 3.I think he protect her as his queen and sister same as he protected crown for Aegon when Lucerys wanted leave Storm's end 4.He said I would perform my duty if only mum betrothed us but she never did right 5.Son for a son is said by Daemon, Lucerys is also not his biological son so I interpret it like son from queen was taken not king's must be taken as revenge because he could be the one ordering to kill Lucerys for Aemond(we know it is not true) Daemon don't know this for sure but he don't care he just want revenge 5.We had same story with Laenor Rhaenyra and Harwin it would be boring

Aemon being a better ruler than Aegon? With what he'll do in the Riverlands, that shows how muc hthat woudl go... Remember why his dearest grandfather was so against Deamon? Yeah....Aemon IS a Daemon wanna be in EVERYTHING. As for him being the father of Helaena's children? Oh, the hypocrisy of Alicent...complaining Rhaenyra wanted to put bastards in the throne while her children would be doing the same...it would be hilarious... Aegon is so much of a little shit, he wouldn't even care anyway...

solid video , definitely gives context to the subtle looks they give each other

I am not looking forward to Aemon’s fate as I think he’s my favourite character in this.

Yes yes, shipping stuff came back to life, we know that. Helaena didn’t choose Maegor because who his father was but because he was the youngest. And her dress wasn’t sapphire: it’s deep and intense blue color, her dress was pale. How could Aemond come to Helaena to comfort her if nobody except Alicent, Otto and that servant that was in cell knew about the death of Viserys? It doesn’t make any sense. We’ll see how it will go when Alyss Rivers will show up.

Interesting theory about Heleana and Aemond.

I will be soo happy if this is confirmed canon 💙. Aemond is not as dutiful as people imagine he is and it would be nice to see Helaena flouting her family's wishes and being with the person she loves (possibly choosing him to father her children as well!!)

Yo this was a great find. Im so taken back by the revival of this series that I'm missing the subtle notes. 🤙

Fun fact: the casting call for Aemond that was leaked months ago on Reddit (along with all of the other characters) described him as in love with his sister and bitter that she was married to Aegon

Damn your sister though ? That Valyrian blood gotta be thick a.f lol

I call this Helaemond.

this is gonna sound harsh, but id sacrifice the newborn too. a mothers bond is strong but if there is honestly no choice, the older child has had more emotional investment, will have a whole personality etc, as well as holding as much love as the newborn

It’s weird talking about witch sibling is the better fit

I think they are aemond's children

One of the most plausible fan theories ❤

3:24 aegon not only has his generational karma but also the Meghan fox thumb 😂

Interesting, but seems a bit far fetched to me, there are definitely closer to each other than any of them is to Aegon but not that hard considering how Aegon is. For me, it's Luke laughing at the pig that started the fight at the dinner not the dance, why he'd be mad at his sister dancing and be genuinely happy if he care about her, jealousy? In the scenes in the chamber for me he was more doing this to prove himself to his mother because he knew she was there and for duty. I didn't really feel that bond between them, they feel like they are both kinda loner, and if anyone was close to any of them I would say it was Alicent. But the theory can be true, we should see.

In Fire and Blood, there was no explicit mention of Halaena having powers or dreaming, but that could be left up to shoddy history keeping. But it being a main character trait of hers in the show makes me think there's a chance they will combine the characters of Halaena and Alys for a differing romantic conflict.

Look at the hair amend has straight hair and the kids have dead straight hair!

How could daemond be trying for three heads of the dragon when apparently he knows very little if anything about the prophecy. That’s what was suggested in the conversation he had with rhaenyra wasn’t it?
