See it's this brand of topmond that just really makes me hate it. At best I was indifferent to it but sometimes posts pop up on my tl because twitter thinks I wanna see that shit (I follow some switchmonds and so that fucks with the algorithim I guess, nothing against them, I know twitter is stupid) and I want to bleach my eyeballs. Some topmonds seem to genuinely hate him and it's not even in the way that some might say "oh you say that character is your fave but look at all this angst you're putting them through, you must hate them" and this may even be said in a joking tone but I mean actually they hate everything about Aemond and maybe I could understand it if Lucemond wasn't these people's main ship but god they act like there's no other ships out there in the world, and I saw that happening a little bit with the Aegond fandom after season two. It's like as soon as someone hates Aemond they have to write them topping their fave while being the worst person imaginable and I just don't get it. I'm like trying to wrap my head around it but it's still just insane to me. And it's not even them hating Aemond that gets me, it's them mischaracterizing him in the worst ways possible. Why are they always massacring my boy? He would not be fucking doing and saying all that. The fucking maidenhead obsession thing people have going on, please leave rn. That boy shakes and almost throws up at the idea of sex. Let's be realistic. Popular Jock Aemond?? Who the fuck are we talking about rn? Even if he was a jock, which sure he can be, he's sure as shit not popular and his only friend is his coach Criston because that is literally his canon fucking life. And honestly not one to really harp on fucking realism in fics, live your life and go crazy in my opinion but these motherfuckers will be the same ones saying all of this for bottomonds, like, you can have dom daddy cold hearted dark prince Aemond but I can't even have my little pillow princess sub Aemond without you pitching a bitch fit about how it's "unrealistic" and "let men be masculine". Also topmonds that are Lucemonds get real weird and fucking disrespectful when they talk about Ewan's looks as if he isn't hot and pretty but whatever. Sorry I forgot there was a height requirement for bottoming/being an omega. Gotta be the size of tinkerbell to take anything up the ass I guess. Then these will be the same people complaining about there being top/bottom discourse when it's in their favor. Also, would like to put a disclaimer here at the end here because I'm stopping right here before I find more things to be pissed about. If you are not like these topmonds, I am not addressing you. I ship Lucemond and Aegond. I am bottomond only and I did try topmond earlier when I entered the fandom and there was no joy in it so I'm knocking it after I tried it and I'm not even talking about reading fics, I'm talking about writing them. I do not care what your preference for Aemond is as long as we can be cordial with each other, I am moots with switchmonds and some topmonds and Lucemond shippers and Aegond shippers and a variety of other people because at the end of the day this is fiction and I love my moots and respect that they have their own preferences. Even if we ship the same ship and prefer our characters in the same way, we may not exactly agree on characterization the whole way and that's fine. People are individuals and no two people are the same. Hope that I didn't come off like a bitch.
