#and i don't dislike viserys coryls or rhaenys either

[videodrme]

i am just going to say it.

otto is overhated for pushing alicent to marry viserys. the unfortunate reality is that it’s normal for westerosi nobility. that’s how you move up in the world: by marriage. corlys and rhaenys do the same damn thing with laena (12 at the time) and they don’t get 1/10th of the hate.

viserys is the one who doesn’t catch enough heat. he didn’t HAVE TO choose alicent. he’s the goddamn king, he could’ve courted any grown woman he wanted. instead he takes the easy way out by choosing the person who is quite literally closest to him presumably because, idk, out of convenience?
