I remember someone pointed out Matt has done a lot of incest roles (rip) so if there was supposed to be an element of desire there Matt would have played it up. And you do see that with Rhaenyra, he is giving you man who wants to fuck his niece. Plus I would argue he did play Daemon as bi? Only there's more sexual tension in that one scene with Qarl Correy or when he's looking at that random waiter than any scene with Viserys.

"a lot of incest roles" 😭 i guess they are referring to that one movie where he romanced his mom and when he played prince philip 😭 he's a good actor! that's how he's supposed to play daemon, a man who wants to fuck his niece ashdashgdjas

to me it doesn't have to be /sexual/ for there to be /something/ between viserys and daemon. the thing is that the whole point of their relationship is that they were close once and now they aren't, that daemon wants to be close to him but viserys doesn't let him, he denies him. ships have been launched for less.
