broke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to protect his identity

woke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to be more like a pure hightower, rather than a “savage” valyrian

bespoke: ormund dyed daeron’s hair to make him look more like his previous grooming victim, gwayne

god i have so many daeron/ormund thoughts, which surprises even me. i wasn't expecting to be so enthralled by their dynamic this early on, or at all honestly. this whole episode daeron is never not seen by ormund side. he's even expected to be waiting with a towel at the ready while ormund bathes. so naturally he's so in tune with ormund's moods that he's able to warn the staff to be long gone during his fits of rage. something that, interestingly, daeron himself can't be spared from, must be a witness to with tears gleaming in his eyes. tessarion, his girl, being locked up in the sept feels perfectly symbolic of daeron being raised by a man so intent on shaping him into a hightower that he sees no issue with speaking openly of how much he disdains daeron's tainted targaryen blood. and you hear the anger in his voice when daeron suggests that they be merciful towards the man who laid hands on a soldier, 'that sounds like something your father would say' and it's all a difficult reminder that daeron is not actually his, not his son truly by blood...

imagine you're having one of those days at work. coffers empty. hand absent. rats in you father's lego city. and here comes ulf the fucking white asking for a castle for his buddy gary

[driften-sea-snake]

-gwayne thinking ormund was “cruel”

-daeron being adept at reading omund’s emotions, anticipating his anger, and then trying to protect other people from it

-tessarion acting protective of daeron around ormund

-ormund acting “fatherly” while raising daeron to dislike his actual father

-ormund raising daeron to think of himself as “different” from his “savage” family-but only thanks to ormund of course. if daeron disappoints ormund, he’s returning to his “savage” origins

-the irony of alicent thinking she saved daeron from a doomed upbringing while unknowingly sending him off to something worse

yeah, more like ormund groomtower

[queenaegon]

alicent thought she was doing a good thing by sending daeron to oldtown. in a way, she was right. he’s considered a good boy by most everyone who knows him. what we’ve seen on screen shows him to be kind and considerate as well. but it’s clear that he was raised by a cruel and mercurial man who treats him as nothing more than a dynastic tool, in much the same way that otto viewed alicent. he is truly his mother’s son and that is the great tragedy of it all.

By the time we left Italy I was playing dangerous little games with mortals. I’d see a man, or a woman—a human being who looked perfect to me spiritually—and I would follow the human about. Maybe for a week I’d do this, then a month, sometimes even longer than that. I’d fall in love with the being. I’d imagine friendship, conversation, intimacy that we could never have. In some magical and imaginary moment I would say: “But you see what I am,” and this human being, in supreme spiritual understanding, would say: “Yes, I see. I understand.”
