what if you‘re alicent hightower and you gave birth to all your grief and your pain and your broken dreams and he wears your face

[greenqueenhightower]

Aemond calling for his mother while feverish and delirious in a dark and unhospitable place as he recovers from his injuries. Aegon calling for his mother while he hovers between life and death in an equally dark and unhospitable place. Alys not leaving Aemond's bedside and fending off invaders. Alicent barely leaving Aegon's bedside, hoping he would wake. Aemond eventually getting a hug from Alys. Aegon being denied Alicent's hug and comfort as she exits the room before she can hear he's conscious. Both being so love-deprived. Both forming a relationship with someone who resembles their mother. Both believing the other was their mother's favorite. Both wanting to be their mother's favorite so badly. Both feeling like they failed her and failed themselves. Both hurting each other. Both craving, just aching, to be carried upstairs to bed. To be children. To be looked after right. To be small enough to be cradled again.

rewatching HOTD and the emotionally incestuosness of the hightowers/TG is just so crazy they're not even doing all that incest for like. honor or tradition. just for the love of the game.
