the way ‘ the realms delight ‘ was a wholly innocent nickname once
#she was her mother and father’s only surviving child after so much loss#and viserys and aemma were regarded as kind and generous rulers#when he took the throne 😭 like it was just ? she was a sweet bright child#so the singers gave her that nickname 😭#like it was sweet and the meaning of it twisted as she got older into 😭 like the next two times we see it used it’s ?#Otto saying ‘ better the realms delight then lord fleabottom’ she’s not threatening - she’s a safe placeholder until aemma gives viserys a#son#she’s the safe choice because she’s the little princess who everyone likes and daemon is daemon#the next instance is when her own counselors remind her that she’d once been cheered as the realms delight#and ‘ everyone sought her favor then but who would fight for her now’#the connotations surrounding it go from something pure and wholesome to ? another insult#a reminder of her desirability that’s long since faded from having kids#like even that isn’t safe from the perversion in the way she’s perceived at court#like it becomes something sexualized in the worst way#and the third time was the riverlanders rallying to daemon’s call and she doesn’t even KNOW about that instance 😭#like it meant ? to her it was a wholly innocent positive memory of her childhood#it was ? a reminder of how much her parents loved her even if she wasn’t the boy they needed#so having it used in that connotation and having it followed by the mention of the tour she took in 112 like#things she did actions she took to earn the positive report she still had there#would’ve meant the world to her
