#see ASOIAF is at least surface level critical of this sometimes but fire and blood is really just like well child brides are cool

i think butterfly has a post on here somewhere explaining why little miss daenaera velaryon is 6 years old and it's bc viserys ii was originally aegon iii's son not his brother so somehow for the timelines to work, little miss had to be 6 years old at her marriage instead of like a normal age (also why viserys has kids at 13). still do not understand the allure of child bride pageant tho george...

ok so i went over to the wiki and did some math and that just does not make sense to me because given the current age she is when she gets married (SIX!!!) she had her LAST child Elaena at 23? she could literally have been 10 to 20 years older and had that timeline still make complete and total sense. GRRM seems to just not at all understand that having children at age 16 is literally actively way more medically dangerous to you in a way than having children at 26 or 36 or even 46 all of which are things people are biologically capable of doing
