hi bestie!!

sorry for staying away so long - I was finishing up my semester and then my sibling had a little bit of a crisis so they came home for a couple days but I think all is mostly settled now!

I come to do my best to save you from the 7hr class from hell!!

first, I'm so sad that the tags were being stupid bc your grandsire!Aemond post was sooooooo flipping good! I'm not really someone who has much of an interest in having kids, but to echo a sentiment you've expressed in the past: for Aemond, I might consider it 😜

so, I know you've said in the past that you're not that into folk-y type music - which is totally valid - but I did listen to a couple songs that are on the more upbeat side of folk/rock/pop (?? kinda??? idk what genre is anymore lmao) that really reminded me of Aemond that I thought I would share. They're both by Delta Rae, and the first is called "Is There Anyone Out There" and the second is "Surrounded." Absolutely no pressure at all to listen - I was just going back through that album last night and the Aemond brainrot kicked in and prevented me from being normal about anything 😅

also, idk if you've addressed this before (if you have and I just missed it I'm so sorry! 😭) but do you think Aemond is insecure about his appearance because of his scar? He clearly takes a lot of pride in maintaining his clean-cut appearance and also seems very proud of his Targaryen silver hair, but do you think some of that comes from trying to make up for the fact that he feels like his scar has rendered him totally unattractive? (I mean, obviously not to us lmao, but like, if he perceives it that way). I'm just super curious to hear your thoughts on this bc I'm always ready to be even more sad about my poor little meow meow war criminals

I also have some long rambly thoughts on Targaryen inbreeding and face shape/facial features, but it may be too long and annoying so I won't put them here (also this ask has become a novel as always lol)

anyway, wishing you the best of luck with your class!!

yours in aemond brainrot,

🐍 🔪

Hello dear!! no worries at all about staying away, I totally understand that lives get complicated! I do hope that everything has settled for you, and that you're able to find time to rest! omg bless you for coming up to the rescue because this class, I'm telling you, UGHH!

aaaaaaah I know I'm so sad too! I tried tweaking it as much as I could and it did not show! but I'm super happy you got to see it and that you enjoyed it. Hard same, I'm very firm about not wanting kids in real life, but idk what's been happening to me lately that I'm LOVING writing about them. I think it's giving me all the kind of fluff I need in my life right now because things are hard, but it makes it more enjoyable that people here like all of my children rambles! Also grandsire!Aemond is really hot to think about honestly talk about a GILF

Delta Rae...it does ring a bell! I think I have listened to a couple of songs from them in the past but I'm really shit at remembering, but yeah they do ring a bell! thank you so much for the rec, I'll definitely be checking them out! I'm always looking forward for blorbo music (lol) and these days, as you are, my brain is super focused in finding songs for Aemond!

Re: his appearance (I hope I make sense lol) Absolutely he's insecure! but I feel like it's a very complex thing. I think initially, right after his accident, and through the majority of his teenage years he must've been incredibly insecure, paranoid about people whispering about him, calling him slurs and so on. And the people of the time must have done precisely that, feeding his insecurities. Which is why he starts taking such care of him, letting his hair grow because of his pride in his Targaryen heritage. His hair must be the feature he's most proud of because of what it represents, so he must accentuate it by keeping it with such care, keeping it long, etc. He also starts training rigurously, not only the training of his body but his mind, cause if he's lacking in the physical, he must compensate with intellect. I do think after all of the work he puts in, he is confident in himself. Otherwise he wouldn't be cocky and have this air of superiority about him. He knows his worth now, knows that he's way more than his missing eye and scar. If people still whisper about him, I think he'd be more inclined to scoff at them, rather than let it affect him. He knows he can have anyone that wrongs him obliterated now, because of his skill in the blade and he's got Vaghar now. All of that boosts his confidence. But of course he must have his off days where that little boy inside of him comes back and he looks at his reflection and he's thrown back to his worst days. Inside there's still that resentful kid, otherwise he wouldn't be chasing off after Lucerys and continue to taunt him about taking his eye to pay for his. Anyway, hope I made sense!! I'm always hesitant about giving my take on Aemond because I'm no expert in Asoiaf!

And also feel free to drop your rambly thoughts, I enjoy them a lot!!

Thank you for all your good wishes, my darling!! hope your week has been a good one, and that you have an excellent start of your weekend!

love this sign off so I'm hitting you back with it.

Yours in Aemond Brainrot, x

Ever since I read that fanfic where Utonium is older and he has crow's feet, visible laugh lines and greying hair, I've been thinking about him a lot 😳😳😳

His kids are teenagers at that point and going through hormone changes and rebellious teen phase. Their kids probably doesnt show him how much they loved him (as much as they were when they were kids) although I think Bubbles being the sweet one would still be his daddy's girl and ask for occasional hugs and goodnight head kissies ;w;

Anyway I'm sure the girls at this point probably can take care of themselves pretty much and Utonium gets pretty lonely sometimes since they dont spend time together as much as before (because hanging out with your dad is so uncool). So I imagine that one day Bubbles probably noticed how lonely her dad is lately so she sat down and asked:

"Hey Professor, don't you think it's time for you look for...you know... a girlfriend?"

"Bubbles I-"

"No no like we totally get it, we dont want to pressure you but I just feel that maybe you need someone to take care of you... too?"

"Bubbles, that's very sweet of you, but I don't think I'm up for that. Besides, I'm old and I have wrinkles now, I don't think anyone wants to date lame ol' Professor here."

"Oh come on dad, I'm sure someone would like you. I'm not saying you should find someone to replace us, I just think that I dont want you to be lonely."

"Thank you Bubbles, that's very thoughtful of you but I'll be fine."

And I feel that at first Utonium probably didnt thought about it, the last time he went on dates was when he was in his late 30s and all of it ended up either disasterous or in a bad term and since then he decides to focus on his family. But then as day goes by he cursed at himself on how right Bubbles is and starting to have thoughts of going back into the dating scene again.

Of course since this is my brainrot, I havr to bring Chloe in the picture. So I imagine that this time, instead of Utonium pinning on her, this time Chloe has the huge crush on Utonium for 2 years but she just never confesses because 1) he's a customer 2) she doesn't know how to approach him for a conversation outside the usual ones and 3) who wants to date a waitress?

I havent figure out on how they ended up dating though lol maybe one day my head will make it up hdkskalal
