targtower kids + the four fear responses

“She’s just trying to survive and keep Helaena safe. And I think she’s just looking to escape from Aegon and Aemond because... you know, I mean, especially Aemond. He’s very murderous, very scary, very unpredictable.”

The more I think about it, the more I find that all the Targtower kids got one substitute father each to fill the gaping hole of the father figure they couldn’t find in Viserys:

-Aegon found a substitute father in Larys, who’s a “cripple” just like him. Ever since Rooks Rest, Larys is constantly by his side, providing encouragement and moral support, teaching him to accept himself, telling him he “survived dragonfire” and that his resurrection will be the stuff of “songs and legends”

-Aemond found a substitute father in Cole, with whom he spent hours sword training and countless evenings discussing politics and making plans. The bond they forged was so strong that Criston repeatedly refuses to believe that Aemond has abandoned him and his army. Criston has faith in Aemond, just as a father ought to have faith in the son whom he raised

-Daeron thinks he has found a substitute father in Ormund, who raised him since infancy and who’s molded him to hate his real father and his Targaryen blood. In Ormund, Daeron sees an ideal he strives hard to reach himself. He idolizes him and tries hard to please him to get whatever crumbs of approval and affection Ormund has to spare

-Helaena is an interesting case, but I’d say that Gwayne is her substitute father. Remember what he told Cole last episode: “our Queens are both in chains.” Our Queens. That includes Helaena. Gwayne, even from a distance, feels some sort of fondness towards Helaena, who perhaps reminds him of his sister in her youth and is a symbol of all that is pure and fair and just in his world of chivalry and ideals. Had they spent more time together, I’m sure that Helaena too, who remembered Jace & Luke’s kindness with fondness, would have come to appreciate Gwayne’s kindness as well
