AEGON II TARGARYEN and JACAERYS VELARYON + parallels

[joekeerys]

#i owe all the jacegon girlies who were writing them in s1 an apology i thought you shipped them bc they were hot but now i see the vision#there was a prompt for a fic that was like. what if aegon was rhaenyra's firstborn and jace was alicent's and honestly. galaxy brain concep#i dont know if anything would actually change. im so serious. i dont think anything would fundamentally change#would jace want to marry helaena if he was her brother like aegon was? would aegon feel his bastardly keenly esp if he didnt look targ??#would jace turn to drink as a crutch from all the pressure of being told if he's not king his family dies?#would he still care about learning valyrian if he looked targaryen? would his and vermax's bond be as strong as aegon and sunfyre's?#would aegon love his younger brothers or would he resent them for not being born first to spare him of the weight of the crown?#would aemond feel any differently towards jace -- who also had a dragon from birth -- than he did about aegon?#they're the same!! they're the SAME and it doesnt MATTER!!!!!#“i never asked for this.” i know!! neither of you did!!!! but you dont get a choice!! now go die for the cause like a good boy!!!!!!

They have been forced together — they’re family, and husband and wife, mother and father to two children — and none of this was their decision, their choice. We have come from very different angles and tried to find some kind of connection, some sort of electricity that goes between each other. — Tom Glynn-Carney

Viserys I Targaryen and his son Aegon II vs Aegon II and his son Jaehaerys

🔪 inspired by this tweet:

[serymn]

It's so sad how Aegon said, "the sanctity of my family". Sanctity is quite a heavy and specific word, it means holy, saintly, sacred. He does see them as the only pure thing in his life.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 2.02 – Rhaenyra the Cruel

[welightthewaysource]

Yeah, I saw that, you freak.

[ladymorghul]

"ohh but why don't aegon and aemond respect viserys' legacy??"

meanwhile viserys's whole attitude towards them growing up:

he disrespects their mother, he treats them like shit, he ignores helaena and has no ideas she is a dreamer, something he's wanted, he couldn't care less about any of them at all. you want them to care about this pos? you thankful they didn't kick him down the stairs.

paddy, likely about leo ashton: “i think he neglected to put any effort into those children. they didn’t like him. i was on set one day and one of the actors playing one of my sons said, ‘you hate us.’”

his literal son that he forced his second wife to bear and give birth to loses an eye and he does NOTHING. not even a word to anyone, not even a kind word to his son. viserys targaryen should absolutely rot in hell. like no other option. don't pass go, don't collect 200$.

then they meet for dinner years later and he has the audacity to say he 'loves them all'. he's legitimately a pos there's no way to put it. no wonder none of them gave a fuck when he was dead like good riddance mf.

Jace/Baela: Yeah, I have some daddy issues, I guess :/ But at least I have someone I can talk to about it. I’d literally lose my mind if I didn’t, haha.

Aegon/Aemond/Helaena: I am my mother’s lost childhood. I am my mother’s mirror. I am my mother’s grief. I am my mother’s sword. I am my mother’s tears. Every day I wake up and know my mother looks at me and sees an unhealed wound. No I don’t want to talk about it.

Daeron: I have a mom?

[jacenyra]

aegon and rhaenyra not having scenes together until s3 (aka the final showdown) is my villain origin story.
