I thought he was smart enough to calm down about all that, now that he's here where nobody cares about his stupid dragon blood. But he has no identity of his own beyond that.
You don't know that. I sacrificed so much for him, and he's pretending it means nothing. For his brother, or something, who I guess he respects all of a sudden.
aemond is the kind of person who will always choose family over anyone else.
[ unless it prioritizes alicent's needs but he will not speak. ]
he's also what, barely legal? he can't even buy alcohol back home. think about it. of course his identity is a mess. if you'd met me when i joined the army fifteen years ago, i would've fucked you and ghosted you too.
look. i'm not aemond's biggest fan. i think you're definitely an idiot for falling for him when he's incapable of empathy for any situation that isn't his own. his problems will always come first. his family will always come first. it will always be about him. you're not in that dragon shit and you never will be.
it was life or death for you back home. the m unit? fucking mccarthy? fast forward a couple decades and i'd still be dismissed from the army if people found out i hit it both ways. but aemond is never going to see you as someone who's been through just as much as he has. it doesn't matter that people were walking out in front of buses and putting guns in their mouths just because of who they were. you're not in their squabble for the throne, and so the things you've been through aren't shit compared to what he's been through. that's the kind of person you fell for. someone who doesn't care about you, doesn't care about the things you've been through, and never will.
your problem is that you give people the benefit of the doubt. maybe things will be different now that alicent died and came back, but a guy who's an asshole to his mom isn't worth your time. why did you think he would treat you any better?
Those are real problems. Not the privileged crap they invented for themselves and then cry about after the fact. You know, the closest thing he gave me to a reason was "duty to his family," something he forgets about the second he feels like dropping his pants for baby murderers.
I'm not sorry to try seeing the best in people. There's something in there worth saving, but I can't force it. I was an idiot, to think I could, you're right.
you're mad, so i won't point out that i wasn't saying they don't have real problems, i'm just saying that aemond is never going to have empathy for yours.
back up. the only baby murderer i know is my sister.
I thought I could pull his focus onto something healthier. Which was stupid, clearly. His type is inbred chin and no eyebrows, which he made clear to me half a dozen times.
you wanted to fix him. that's so typical of a god-fearing man.
aemond isn't going to change, for better or for worse. his family understands him in a way that you just can't. i'm really sorry that you cared about him and you got fucked over in the end, but you have to let him make his own decisions whether you agree with them or not.
go to a bar like a normal person who just got dumped and get wasted, then tell hawk to fuck your brains out.
[ like when he let the literal she-devil poison him in his own house and crawl into his bed. at least tim doesn't have the very real, very permanent consequences of his child stewing inside of a psychotic horror's womb. ]

come on, tim. his mom died and came back acting like a psycho. i'm sure he'll come around when things settle down.
no subject
He'll regret it. But if he tries to make that my problem, I'll laugh in his face. He told me I was dismissed, like a damn maid.
no subject
that's not you. and i don't think that would make you feel better.

If he'd done that, it would make more sense, he dangled me along for two months.

you really cared about him? i mean, you wouldn't be so mad if you didn't.

I did. I wouldn't have done any of it otherwise.

Daemon, his uncle, had his brother's son killed in his crib.
no subject
you're saying aemond dumped you so he could fuck his baby-killing uncle?
[ that's so embarrassing, tim. ]
no subject
I was STRONGLY advising against it, obviously.
[ Yeah, for Aemond!! ]
I probably need to get tested for syphilis
no subject
i'm sorry, that was fucked up. i highly doubt they even know what that is, so maybe it doesn't exist there.
isn't the uncle married to the princess?
[ ALICENT'S PRINCESS? ]
no subject
Rhaenyra, yeah.

I hate the bars here. Something weird always happens. I got drunk with Koby.
no subject
really? you need me to hold your hand while you go out drinking?
no subject
Thank you. For not judging me for being nasty. The rest of it I've earned.
Are you asking me out, Embry? Now?

no. but as long as hawk won't be there. sure.

You choose the bar. But not Otherworld.
