Next season Aemond needs to simply pull a Rhaenyra ✨ and ✨gaslight ✨ everyone about not killing Lucerys - Everyone knows and yet he just goes on about these ✨false and treasonous accusations ✨
Alys works at a tattoo parlor like the one in my hometown that also sells crystals and does tarot readings.
Aemond comes in for a tattoo consultation. He's torn between wanting a big dragon tattoo on his chest and looking like a scary edge-lord, and not wanting to upset his straightlace mama.
Maybe they're set up by someone? Like another employee says, "Let me go get Alys, I think she'd be a good fit for what you're describing, I think you'll vibe with her artistically." They have the consultation. Alys influences Aemond to go ahead and do it.
During the actual tattooing appointment, it goes something along the lines of that tweet:
also, one is a magician, and there's the question, "Am I horny!bewitched or magic!bewitched? I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way."
Dianora: Is there sorcery involved when you love me here, or when we first meet in a public place?
Brandin: Not in any way you are thinking. Nothing that I control or shape with my magic… Why do you ask? What happens to you?
Dianora: Too much. Too much happens.
alysmond gang, has anyone read Tigana? It just occurred to me that Dianora and Brandin — with their premise of "so you seduced the warlord who killed your family" — align very closely with one possible reading of Alys and Aemond.

I think Alys not being a major thing forshadowed in the trailer might be good, actually.
While I'm as impatient as anyone else, I think that — from a storytelling perspective — the best thing for Alys is to be introduced gradually. Give her space to breathe. Take time for us to get to know her before things ramp up with Aemond. Ships are always stronger when both parties are well-established characters in their own right.
Alys having a smaller role in season 2, and then a larger one in season 3, seems like it would lead to better storytelling. Even if it taxes our patience.
but it's once again people calling Aemond slutty and WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN A LITERAL SENSE?? it doesn't mean promiscuous. it doesn't really even mean flirtatious or sexually provocative, because Aemond isn't that beyond merely being hot. in this diagram it seems like it might mean… like big dick energy maybe?
People talk about in utero like it's an alternate dimension or something. People say stuff like, "When the baby 'gets here'."
In the womb is a literal physical location in meat space in our world. When Aemond and Alys fly on Vhagar together when she's pregnant, Aemondcito is literally physically there. He's in Alys's lap. (Just, y'know, in her lap rather than on her lap.)
Aemond: One of the reasons that our baby, unlike your past ones, is going to live is because this baby will get the full amount of milk. Our baby won't have to split it with some Strong lordling brat.
Aemond: Wait. That means I can't drink any of the milk either.
Aemond: ...
Aemond: This is a real tragedy. 😢 But I guess I can make such a sacrifice for our child. This is A+ paternal devotion right here.
ok so y'know how ~theoretically~ alys is similar to alicent, but in practice it's really superficial?? like they're just close in age and both have dark hair?
THIS SCENE speaks to actual meaningful likeness between them. in the book the eye-for-an-eye scene isn't very much like the abovementioned scene, but in the show IT IS.
alys screaming and spitting to a soldier and later exploding a man's head because he insulted her son yeah that's mother
Where does the idea that Aemond is slutty come from? Is it just that fans are sluts for Aemond, and this somehow got flipped inside out into Aemond being a slut for them? I'm sorry Aemondwives, but I see nothing in canon that would support the notion of slutty Aemond.
i want that slut covered in blood and traumatized by his actions
