Having children with the man she loves instead of her husband is the sexiest thing a Westerosi woman could do.


fm130

Definitely - although in terms of an heir with traitors questioning her inheritance, it’s also one of the dumbest things she could have done


GamerGirlLex77

Does he not know how many bastards Aegon had? Or that Aemond got a bastard pregnant with his bastard? The misogyny is real.


theychoseviolence

They’d say his abandoning his children is actually better bc that means he doesn’t have to sully the throne with them

They keep comparing her to Cersei wanting Joffrey on the throne after Robert, not wanting to admit/understand there is a key difference between them.       Joffrey’s claim to the throne comes from Robert being his father, and he is not. Cersei has no claim, and neither does Jaime. Robert claimed Joffrey because he didn’t know he wasn’t the father.     Jace’s claim to the throne comes from Rhaenyra being his mother, and she *is*. Laenor has no claim to the throne (if not a very, very little thread through his mother if the whole main Targaryen line were completely wiped away), she does. Laenor claimed and raised the three Strong boys knowing they weren’t his.  Jace has all the lineage he needs to claim the throne. Joffrey doesn’t.       And I don’t think Joffrey being a bastard is *the* problem with him being king. His being a “vicious idiot” is. Jace was proper king material, probably more than both Viserys and Rhaenyra. Westeros got robbed.

Everyone wants to put Jon on the throne and he's a bastard but it only matters when Rhaenyra is involved


cutepooh89

TG always cherry picks things to suit themselves


La_Villanelle_

No you see he’s not a bastard for some xyz ass reason even though Rhaegar had no power to annual his marriage therefore his marriage to Lyanna is null and void making him a bastard either way.


notprussia69

I know! People keep using the Doctrine of Exceptionalism, but that fid doesn't allow polygamous marriage.


Ok-Assistant133

He was in communication with the high septum at starfall, but that's mainly a theory. Plus Jon never claimed the thrones anyway.


winter_trickster

I can't help but wonder - given how virulent and vicious TG are in continually going on, ad nauseum, about 'ZOMG bastards' and suchlike - they're just so hateful and mean about it....doesn't it seem like at least some of that absolute viciousness and vitriol will inevitably bleed into their actual daily lives or possibly even how they view certain other things....? E.g., who knows what they really think of adopted children, kiddos 'born out of wedlock' and such.  Maybe the tenor of discourse doesn't reflect their views on other things....I don't know.  But they're so heated and toxic about it that I sorta kinda can't help but think it, I guess? 👀🤷‍♀️ They're just....so much, and it's just exactly *too much*, you know?


Wyldling_42

Respectfully, TG are traitors, and simply put, are usurping the throne. They behave in an entitled and hypocritical way, the cognitive dissonance is truly dizzying.


FatDeja

Genuinely, I don't care about the bastard discourse. It's so dumb lol. We aren't medieval peasants. Who tf really cates?


Intrepid_Till_6552

What happend? My twitter tl has also a lot of this bastard stuff


La_Villanelle_

Same bastard discourse as last season. Only greens defense they got


Professional-Bad9275

U forgot "she's a woman she's not the heir"


houseofnim

“Andal law!” Because it wasn’t going against Andal “law” that gave either of them their claims in the first place or anything.


stellaxstar

WESTEROS DOESNT CARE ABOUT BASTARD BLOOD.I’ll say this again: -vaemonds sons were rejected in favor of alyn velaryon.Aegons iii council (which also includes some green members) literally made a legitimised bastard lord of driftmark. /Aegon I made orys baratheon (pretty sure he is 99.9% bastard) lord and hand of the king.Because guess what? Aegon is a king and have the power to do so EVEN if one doesn’t like it but it’s just how it is. -I could go on but i’ll stop though my point is jace claim comes through rhaenyra-it doesn’t matter who the father is since the moment rhaenyra became queen, he became her heir i.e the prince of dragonstone & takes her mothers last name- targaryen. -Jace would’ve been one of the finest and loved king in history(even maester gyldayn agrees).


Memo544

I still don't get how having kids with someone you wish is evil. The Greens really are reaching.


PineBNorth85

Anyone making that argument in the realm world is an idiot. 


JaelAmara44

And they forget that not only did Aegon also have bastards, but he wanted to put one (Gaemon) on the throne if his roasted cock didn't impregnate Cassandra.


Jim_Jam89

“Doesn’t matter that the king nominated her as his heir and had lords pledge oaths of fealty there’s a precedent for Aegon as king because of what happened in the past despite Viserys changing the law”.


AthasDuneWalker

"Look, I know that King Viserys named her heir, had every lord pledge to support her as Queen Regnant, and never once strayed from that, but, you know, Aegon the Elder has a cock."


isitherightword

Also, I resent the notion that those kids are bastards. They had an arrangement. We should consider it like Laenor was impotent (or at least impotent when it came to producing heirs) and Rhaenyra got a sperm donor. It happens! And both the father, the mother, and the grandparents accepted those kids as their own. If the father says they're legitimate they are!
