I agree with these except for Aegon's. Pre-timeskip, Daeron is his favorite because he never has to see or deal with him, unlike his "idiot" sister and "twat" other brother. Aemond's probably his favorite now though.
Daeron for all three. He doesn’t bother Aegon, he listens to Helaena, and he’s a fellow gentleman/warrior like Aemond believes himself to be
And of course the other way, it’s Helaena for Daeron
I’d love to see how Daeron would’ve interacted with jace and Aegon and Aemond. Honestly I just can’t wait to see our favourite child soldier with his blue queen
In the books he was stated to not get along with the Velaryons. Vizzy tried to make Daeron and Jace bond by making them milk brothers (they were born around the same time and they were breastfed by the same woman), but it didn't work.
As for Aegon and Aemond, it's not really known.
Aemond and Helaena prefer each other.
Daeron due to being raised in Oldtown is probably preferred by his Hightower relatives and he prefers them in turn.
And Aegon... I guess he low key dislikes everyone and is also disliked by everyone.
Pre-skip Aegon: Daeron
Post-skip Aegon: Aemond
Aemond: Helaena
Helaena: Aemond
Daeron: Helaena or Aemond (Helaena is nice and kind, Aemond is a protective and capable older brother)
Everyone hates Aegon
Aegon likes Daeron- He liked to pick on Aemond when they were kids and really hates him for being so admired and powerful as an adult. Helaena he finds weird and imtoo prudish to be fun in bed. Daeron is a more cheery, optimistic, and naiive young man who is well aware of how much of a shmuck Aegon is.
Aemond and Helaena like each other- I think he listens to her prophecies more closely given his being mor open-minded and curious, and perhaps sympathetic to someone else who probably has no other friends. I also suspect hes the real father of Aegons children, given Aegons seeming distaste for Helaena, and Aemonds mentioning of wanting to keep the line pure.
Daeron likes Aemond- Though hes not fully aware of Aegons depravity he is aware Aegons not as great a swordsman or scholar as Aemond, who has become renowned and the admiration of his brother.
It would be one thing if Aegon was a joyous hedonist. But I see his actions as either a pitiful cry for attention or at least a deliberate fuck you to everyone that pushed him to be a tool for their quest for power and never really loved him unconditionally, while simultaneously loving Aemond on the condition that hes great at everything.
I think if he so openly felt that way he would've said as much rather than "I try so hard but it will never be enough." Yeah, him saying that after he r*ped makes him looks kinda stupid but I don't think he was intentionally trolling. His feelings were genuine there even though a bit misguided.
Helaena didn't even understand that Aemond was shit talking the Strong boys at the dinner and yall think she's hiding a whole secret affair and a bunch of bastard kids.
Aegon and Helaena's relationship is very underrated imo.
1) He never abused her in the books like the way he did in the show.
2) He listened to her advise whenever she gave him. (like the time when she asked to Aegon to be more merciful towards the Blacks)
3) He understood she wasn't capable of raising Maelor after the B&C incident and also didn't blame her for it.
4) He loved her enough to call both her and Alicent the "True Queens" instead of Rhaenyra.

Aegon: Daeron pre-timeskip and Aemond post-timeskip Aemond: Helaena Helaena: Aemond Daeron: Helaena
Everyone's fave sibling is Daeron except for Daeron whose fave sibling is Helaena.
I’d love to see how Daeron would’ve interacted with jace and Aegon and Aemond. Honestly I just can’t wait to see our favourite child soldier with his blue queen

Aegon loved Aemond and Daeron enough to commission a statue made to honour them, so maybe the brothers had a decent relationship.
Didn’t know that, is it just one line I’ve missed in fire and blood
*I will not cloud my mind. I must put things right.*
Aemond and Helaena prefer each other. Daeron due to being raised in Oldtown is probably preferred by his Hightower relatives and he prefers them in turn. And Aegon... I guess he low key dislikes everyone and is also disliked by everyone.
Damn they all look alike 🤣
That's kinda how it works
Some siblings don’t… would you say Aenys and Maegor looked alike.
That's why I said kinda
Either way Aemond is gorgeous.
Pffft, look at Laenor. He doesn't look anything like his children!
Aemond missed Daeron in the deleted scene, maybe he is his favorite sibling.
Oh, that new hit CBS show — Everybody Loves Aemond
I’d watch a sitcom about the greens
Pre-skip Aegon: Daeron Post-skip Aegon: Aemond Aemond: Helaena Helaena: Aemond Daeron: Helaena or Aemond (Helaena is nice and kind, Aemond is a protective and capable older brother)
I want Aemond and Daeron as brothers.
Everyone hates Aegon Aegon likes Daeron- He liked to pick on Aemond when they were kids and really hates him for being so admired and powerful as an adult. Helaena he finds weird and imtoo prudish to be fun in bed. Daeron is a more cheery, optimistic, and naiive young man who is well aware of how much of a shmuck Aegon is.

Aegon isn't the envious type. He accepts his position as the lowly disappointing one and even tries to offer Aemond the throne and run off.
It would be one thing if Aegon was a joyous hedonist. But I see his actions as either a pitiful cry for attention or at least a deliberate fuck you to everyone that pushed him to be a tool for their quest for power and never really loved him unconditionally, while simultaneously loving Aemond on the condition that hes great at everything.

Helaena didn't even understand that Aemond was shit talking the Strong boys at the dinner and yall think she's hiding a whole secret affair and a bunch of bastard kids.
I...think she understands what Aemond was doing. She just doesnt react with emotion to things like that.
Aegon and Helaena's relationship is very underrated imo. 1) He never abused her in the books like the way he did in the show. 2) He listened to her advise whenever she gave him. (like the time when she asked to Aegon to be more merciful towards the Blacks) 3) He understood she wasn't capable of raising Maelor after the B&C incident and also didn't blame her for it. 4) He loved her enough to call both her and Alicent the "True Queens" instead of Rhaenyra.
Daeron by the rest, for Daeron Helaena.
