"she plays Alys like she owns the place with a hard edge and a chin-up defiance inspired by Rankin’s own Scottish and Celtic heritage as well as pagan goddesses, the Greek priestess Cassandra, and Joan of Arc."

I don't get why y'all find it hilarious when someone's getting sexually attacked. Miss Alys, on the other hand, knows how to blend in with the walls like magic. She won't give anyone a chance unless she wants to. Y'all trippin' on someone's trauma, but Alys be ninja!
14. Aemond arrives at an abandoned Harrenhal, and learns that King's Landing has fallen to the Blacks. Outraged, he executes Sir Simon Strong and all his kin. Aemond spares Alys Rivers and makes her his whore.
Getting ready for Aemond in Harrenhal and what he will do together with Alys Rivers. The biased historian report she's as war trophy, but actually both of them is the Thropies, waging War against everyone 🔥🐉
Given the show & everything I’ve read about alysmond I‘m very excited about Alys meeting Aemond. He’s still in Kings landing but he will meet alys soon.
Alysmond still MIA, but we're ride or die even if it's just us owl squad for now 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
Alys Rivers ser uma bastarda Strong (meia-irmã do Harwin e do Larys) vai servir uma ironia DELICIOSA futuramente na Dança dos Dragões. 👀
Alys é uma bruxa e supostamente tinha visões em chamas, habilidade semelhante de alguns sacerdotes vermelhos de R'hollor.

Daemon got a free therapy through Luigi Mansion and scored a whole season, meanwhile Aemond's nestin' out Le Harrenhal Crib, putting in all the work, so he better get a double seasons. HBO, do it for this Angel!!
Alys rivers doesn't need to reitterate Aemond's death for her to be a useful character. From what we’ve seen, Alys would absolutely adore healing everything that Aemond is. Alys in every scenarios will be helping him, LOVING him, and that's the unchangeable fate.
Not everything in a fiction work to be directly said to be true, aemond/alys relationship being described in the most heinous terms by biased historians is one of them
I absolutely adore the Harrenhal storyline in S2. It highlights something that Game of Thrones shied away from time and time again: the magical, fantastical aspects of ASOIAF. HotD doesn‘t and it‘s glorious. A book readers wet dream.
aemond realizing his death is really giving more nuance for his arc, he knowing this before meeting alys rivers ultimately erased "she leads him to his death" allegation, protecting the baby-mama i see
alys helping daemon & bring up song of ice and fire but when daemon leaves her, she found aemond & see an opportunity to the prophecy, I think that she will guides him in a better way. here hoping for more magical asoaif secrets gets exposed, not just flashbacks like daemon's
those antis will never stop even when the show concludes, they use "leaks" for ao3-insert, whenever they sees anyone near alys they'll hurrily ships (rambling it's better than aemond/alys), usually they claims as multishipper but always made the worst take when it come to us 🦉
Aemond believes he will really win and that's why he ends up fighting Daemon, but it can also because he knows it's the only way he can end this war, sacrificing his own life. Alys didn't influence him to do so, but rather avoiding him to fight, pulling him away from harrenhal.
that will be a perfect way to ended it imho, it opens with harrenhal and it closes with it, full circle! although i believe alys is working for herself, or perhaps what daemon suspect is true..that she's the agent of 🟢. it explains why she stalls him & being spared by aemond
@DocNoirII
MAYBE but I think aemond leaves for harrenhal next episode bc they’re been seeding that since the beginning and daemon specifically name dropping Aemond to Alys in ep5 makes me think they’re gonna do Alys and Aemond and mb she’s like a double agent and giving Daemon info which is
Aemondcito will not be cut as he's already immortalized in the asoiaf universe🦉 Alys helping Daemon to end the war, loving Aemond & making him a father, not only a mother, she's a goddess. HBD Gayle Rankin 🫦
i enjoyed the harrenhal arc, anything with more alys! however i agree it will be redundant if they repeat the same thing with aemond. And yes Alys will gonna eat him up (in a good way!), clue daemon progress... imagine aemond 🫦
You all, do you think we will see a replication of s2 Daemon in Hauntedhal with Aemond in s3?! It seems that would be redundant and lazy writing but obviously they don't care. I'm scared of the shit he is going to see and be put through bc of how they handled Daemon.😬😬😬😬
@aemondfilms
hopefully it's the other way around with alys, he's the one besotted, give us loose canon aemond, the one's not guarded, sad nor worried when abed; a free, happy, yet unhinged aemond
“[Alys] can tell the future. She's been alive for potentially 400 years […] She's going to hold a lot of power for the men inside of this story, especially Daemon, which I think is a really interesting slow burn.”
- Gayle Rankin on Alys Rivers via Entertainment Weekly
"Rankin knows fans of Fire and Blood are eagerly awaiting Alys' interactions with a certain other Targaryen..."
oh gayle is very much aware of alysmond I'm running laps around my room
@thinkerglr
So it's like Macbeth and The Shining had a baby, and that baby grew up to direct its own psychological horror flick. The plot is so twisted, you'll need a GPS to keep up.
Perhaps she's conspiring with Aemond all along, getting rid of the real danger of the prophecy: Daemon, misleading his visions. Aemond chooses to stay with Alys but later she pull him away from GE, he'll fight Daemon even if it will kill himself, cuz she didn't want him to die.
the implications of alys rivers 'defender of the innocent' being fully aware of the b&c event and who is to blame and then proceeding to use heleana, the innocent victim, to absolve the person responsible and lead him back to his cult leader wife, is too much for me to bear ryan
Now let me say something, with Aemond going to Harrenhal and being completely alone and miserable his arc with Alys will be so painful, he will get manipulated so easily, devasted 😔
The Alysmond shipper is one helluva sinner in the realm of HOTD, always spilling the beans and upsetting the non-cannonies. This delay is like karma finally catching up, lol ✌😂✌
i really want Alys arc. She’s doing therapy on daemons side & she will help Aemond & lessen his suffering. He will left KL soon, I'm looking forward to it. Aemondcito already exist in the book and it's consensual no matter what the biased 'narrators' portrays it.
Things I am pondering while I wait for a meeting to start at work:
◇will Aemondcito exist?
◇will his conception be consensual?
◇is alys REALLY working for tb?
◇will Aemond have visions of Alicent?🤮
◇what will Aegon do in essos?
◇will daeron have much screentime?
◇will
@VISVNYA
It would be enjoyable to witness Alys spending some time on her own, as she has only been interacting with Daemon recently. It makes me wonder if she is just a product of his imagination.
spoilers:
the scene with aemond and helaena, as he looks on with tears in his eyes even as he half-heartedly threatens his life, as he watches the last tether he had to his family snap, until realization dawns that he is all alone in what he must now do
pain 🤠
It must be fucking killing you all that Aemond isn’t the moronic blood thirsty maniac he was portrayed as in the bias ass accountings of 3 dudes who obviously didn’t like him at all. Fucking TB’s. “TG’s are sexists and we want a powerful witch and dynamic character reduced to -
@veelioth
i enjoyed daemon interaction with alys, and his personal development, i can see the gratitude in his eyes to her but not in a lustful way 𓆩😆𓆪 Gayle definitely talked about "the other targaryen" but only in passing, while ewan very much avoid it, i respect them for it.
