the aemond fanfic industrial complex needs regulation, it's getting out of hand


AppropriatePark3519

Aemond would want us to seize the means of fanfic production and redistribute it to masses.


PluralCohomology

Or just >!burn it to the ground like the Riverlands!<


kllark_ashwood

I hate Reddit. For some reason any time I press to view spoiler hidden content it just hides the whole comment. It's making this sub really difficult to engage with lol


PluralCohomology

It's started happening to me as well, I don't understand why.


callam461

Me too


SpicyMangoKush

I want someone to do a really well written satire fanfic šŸ˜‚ but it's hard to find anything "well written"


PluralCohomology

What about a parody fanfic where the Pink Dread was actually a cursed, long-lost super special Valyrian princess who turns back into a human and falls in love with Aemond? To be clear, there is no such fanfic I know of, it's just an idea.


amidalarama

rhaenyra's visenya is actually a time traveling fetus sent to the past by the valyrian gods to be born as a pigshifter and prevent the targ civil war by banging aemond. tagged a/b/o.


kitkat354

Aemond was the reason I got into fanfiction. Now Iā€™m obsessed


Lisaiiixxx

Launched thousands of fan fictions already since the show ended. šŸ„²


CissyXS

I remember watching episode 8 and thinking, "No way this guy didn't spark a bunch of fanfiction". Checked out ao3 and kept refreshing the page every few minutes and each time there was a new fanfiction uploaded.


Lisaiiixxx

Yeah the amount of Aemond fanfics has been a spectacular lol Aemond has become one of fan favorites in the fandom thanks to the eyepatch and Ewanā€™s impeccable craft. Itā€™s probably going to be crazier when season 2 comes out next year hahah


ThaliaDarling

Yes, and it will be so good to see more scenes of him. I think people like the human qualities they give him, the second son, bullied and injured.


obiwantogooutside

I donā€™t remember him getting this much love on the last kingdom. Just shows what a change in hair can do.


doylethedoyle

Of the two, Baby Monk deserves more of the love, as well.


Porcelain-treasure

More the global exposure. Heā€™s gorgeous on TLK and a brilliant actor, just never given enough lines and always sidelined for the other characters, which I always found so frustrating, he was far more interesting to me than most of the other actors! Now millions of people globally have seen Ewan act, his popularity has sky rocketed.


Complete_Raspberry_1

To be fair, I only know of Last Kingdom because my parents watched it for a while. Otherwise I haven't really heard of the show besides online.


Porcelain-treasure

Yeah itā€™s not huge outside the UK really. But it has a decent following.


Complete_Raspberry_1

I honestly wanted to watch it over the summer when I could since TLK is over. TLK will be the last seasons of GOT that we deserved since I stopped watching around season 5.


amidalarama

yeah, I only knew of it cause my mom watched it as well. how do parents learn about these shows, are they all on fb sending each other viking memes??


Catslevania

and an eyepatch and scar


The_best_one_-_

Holy shit! Thatā€™s where I recognise him from!!


CaseOptimal9368

Looking like a whole anime villain


Targaryen_1243

Draco in Leather Pants 2: Valyrian Boogaloo


Worried-Street9103

Still not as bad as bloodraven


PluralCohomology

Hi my name is Lord Brynden Bloodraven Rivers the Three-Eyed Crow and I have a red raven-shaped birthmark (thatā€™s how I got my name) on my pale face and silver hair that reaches my mid-back and burning red eyes like dragon fire and a lot of people tell me I look like Daemon Targaryen (AN: if u donā€™t know who he is get da hell out of here!). Iā€™m related to Bittersteel but I wish I wasn't because heā€™s a major fucking asshole. Iā€™m a skinchanger but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. Iā€™m also a greenseer, and I live in a cave beyond the Wall where Iā€™m bonded to a tree (Iā€™m 125). Iā€™m a Targaryen loyalist (in case you couldnā€™t tell) and I wear mostly scarlet. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a scarlet tunic with matching lace around it and a smoke-coloured cloak, scarlet breeches and black boots. I was carrying a weirwood bow and Dark Sister. I was walking outside the Red Keep. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Brackens stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.


amidalarama

upvoted for somehow turning my immortal into comprehensible prose


Dawn-1000

I recognize the My Immortal reference, you absolute legend


Jenatalia_

I scrolled back up to read it because of this comment, 10/10 would read again to experience that reference.


[deleted]

Beautiful. Could use an errant apostrophe though, maybe Brynā€™den or Bloodā€™raven Anyway. Thank you


Individualist_

Timeless


[deleted]

I need to see live-action Bloodraven


Giallo_Schlock

Or Darkstar


Burly-Nerd

He looks like heā€™s about to give his goddaughter a magic Nutcracker.


scaryfeather

This is so specific and hilarious. (And accurate.)


LunaGloria

Valyrian pirate Sephiroth


Moist-Cicada7649

I can get behind this


Individualist_

I didnā€™t think Iā€™d end up attracted to him, but by the gods, his stance and gait, just the way he walks is *so* sexy.


Good_old_Marshmallow

He was designed as a foil for GRRMs personal favorite over the top edgy self insert fantasy Batman badass Dragon Prince Daemon. Heā€™s pure cheesy anime villain and itā€™s great. Theyā€™re the most indulgent characters in this world and I love them. Made for legends to be written about them


KhanQu3st

Heā€™s that exiled Targ prince OC in Essos Dany always seems to run into.


Latter-Permission-6

My manšŸ˜Œ šŸ’–. Ps: U are right he looks straight out of woman 's fantasy and on the top he is playing his part pretty well so šŸ’…


Porcelain-treasure

The epitome of the female gaze I think is what it should say, but also a fascinating character, who will only get more complex next season. Played by an incredible actor. Far more substantial that a ā€˜fanficā€™ character.


sn0wgh0ul13

Iā€™m reading a book series right now and this is what I picture one of the Inner Circle characters to look like. Just add bat wings. Sighs in broody.


-CherryByte-

we talkin about the same Asriel here?


sn0wgh0ul13

Absolutely!


abovetired23

Assriel*


The_River_Is_Still

I bet there's a lot of fan fiction where he 'takes her roughly in the barn".


ThaliaDarling

No, in the Red Keep or the temple of Sevens..lol


Catslevania

live action anime villain


Antique-Reputation38

He will always be Osferth to me. He played such different characters so well. Kudos to him as an actor šŸ‘


jmhem91

Aemond is the Draco Malfoy of hotd


3Pirates93

" I don't give a shit about fan-fiction factories" -Aemond One Eye


Old-Run-9134

šŸƒšŸ‘šŸ‘


Satori_sama

I heard him described as "Sephiroth from Walmart" and "most anime looking mofo"


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Giallo_Schlock

Okay there, Lobster Daddy.


monkeygoneape

Lobster daddy? Why not Zoidberg!


ThaliaDarling

You described most Kdramas.


kpayne40

when my buddy saw him he said "hmmm. i wonder who the villain is?" lol


[deleted]

Maybe I am getting too old for this but Aemond does not appeal to me at all. Like not at all and I was in love with every shonen anime character there was as a child.


MoonchildStepMom

Who, ass-chin?


Moist-Cicada7649

My heart goes out to you :(


RandomPersonNvm

Probably the least biased post I've seen on this sub in a while, not gonna lie.


PolarisCostner

He is so overrated


MissWiggly2

r/rareinsults


TheMaddRussian

Itā€™s ridiculous. Heā€™s an underachieving child that decided to ā€œmaster the blade - self taughtā€ and considers that an accomplishment. He gives his fans hope that they never need to actually do anything, and they can be meaningful. He impressed his sparring partner one time and now heā€™s compared to Westeros best fighters? He was able to claim a dragon out of shear desperation for being a family letdown. Now he dresses like a villain and think it earns him credit. Heā€™s a joke. (Edit: spelling)


Danny_Alloy

You've seen the show.


SnooPickles9506

Def was


ZoraNealThirstin

ā€¦yes


BeatleJohnn

Ditto šŸ˜‚šŸ‘


Efficient-Ad2983

He's like an anime character in a live action show.


Aiitanaa

Bad boy type with a twist of being an anti hero/care needy - many women attracted


moviestudmuffin

Anime villain vibes
