CERSEI + her children

I would do anything for you. Anything to keep you from harm. I would burn cities to the ground. You are all that matters. You and your sister. From the moment you came into this world.

Can you write about what would’ve happened if aegon (third son of baelon and alyssa) survived?

𝐎𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧!

In this scenario, Daemon wouldn't have been too much older. Mere months apart, so I think they would bond really closely as brothers. And yes, there would be a hint of jealousy from Viserys when he was younger.

Personality-wise Viserys is a lot like Baelon & Daemon is a lot like Alyssa. Therefore, I think Aegon would be straight bang in the middle. Not overly sensitive, but has emotional intelligence and will-power. He also would love a bit of danger and risky behaviour - but there'd always be a limit.

With Aegon surviving, I think he would have a cradle-egg. As Alyssa was one of Alysanne & Jaehaerys only fertile daughters; the clutch that would be found - would reflect that.

And the clutch would be from Meleys herself.

The egg chosen (by Viserys) would be a golden red with swirls and flecks of silver and burgundy. Viserys too would be given an egg, and Daemon - but neither would come to live.

As time went by and the three brothers aged, Aegon would be known by the smallfolk as Aegon the True King. This would be when Viserys 'claims' Balerion (flies him once around the city) and 'shows everyone he is the true heir.'

Aegon doesn't want the throne. But the 'signs of him being 'The Real Aegon, Come Again,' are shown in his birth and throughout his childhood. For example, surviving childbirth, having a cradle-egg that hatched, not being a push over/not being arrogant. Is what the smallfolk talk about.

Because Viserys really doesn't have a backbone.

And Daemon is constantly pushing boundaries.

However, I think that Aegon would be the mediator between the two brothers and balance them out really well. He's able to see both sides of the argument and calm them both down.

𝑵𝒐𝒘, 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏…

The cradle-egg, born from Meleys (Alyssa, his mothers dragon) is his whole world. Everywhere Aegon went, so did Vhalorys (VAHL-or-iss). Simplified, the name means 'shadow of fire.'

While Meleys' has a crimson colouring, her offspring is more of a golden red, verging on copper, with accents of silver, gold and burgundy. Signifying the duality of his nature.

His eyes are a deep silver with hints of purple. While his dragon-fire is pure silver; a burning heat that can melt even stone if he tried long enough.

Vhalorys has a similar shaped head as Meleys, but he has sharp horns running down his neck as well as four on his head; two on either side. They will grown to be large and one day may curve into rounded horns.

𝑬𝒙𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆: (artist unknown)

Aegon, being the youngest, could very well be sent off to become a maester - but as he has a dragon, that wouldn't work.

So, he would be used as a way to strengthen alliances. His marriage options would be a high born woman from:

House Baratheon

House Hightower

House Stark

House Arryn

One option could have been to marry Rhaenys, but as she is older than him - she would have already been arranged to marry Corlys. And he would be too old to marry Laena (he would find it weird).

I think he might fall in love with someone low-born, and when it was time to marry, he would be heartbroken. Or maybe he's asexual and doesn't have much sexual desire. However, I think he would have had a secret crush on Aemma, and he would have 100% treated her better. The way Viserys pushed for a son was unethical...

I have a feeling that Otto would invite Aegon to stay at Oldtown, keeping him away from court so that he could bring Alicent to woo Viserys after Aemma's passing.

He would love Rhaenyra, but in the proper family way. He'd constantly make her laugh, and would often take her up flying with him. He'd be someone she could rely on. Steadfast and always there for her and the people he cares about. Loyalty would mean a lot to him.

Like father Like daughter (Robert Baratheon and Mya’s broken hearts)

They dreamed to marry;

“Robert had loved her even more. She was to have been his bride.” -AGOT Eddard I

"Mychel's my love," Mya explained. "Mychel Redfort. He's squire to Ser Lyn Corbray. We're to wed as soon as he becomes a knight, next year or the year after." -AGOT Catelyn VI

They failed(or refused);

“I killed him, Ned, I drove the spike right through that black armor into his black heart, and he died at my feet. They made up songs about it. Yet somehow he still won. He has Lyanna now." -AGOT Eddard X

“Mychel was the best young swordsman in the Vale, and gallant . . . or so poor Mya thought, till he wed one of Bronze Yohn's daughters. Lord Horton gave him no choice in the matter, I am sure, but it was still a cruel thing to do to Mya." -AFFC Alayne II

Then they refused any love;

“I had no wish to marry after Lyanna was taken from me.” -AGOT Eddard VII

“My father's tried to make a match for Mya, but she'll have none of them.” -AFFC Alayne II

But the saddest thing in all of those Robert left Mya for take back Lyanna and he lost both of them in the end;

“I knew that he would always be there to catch me." She pushed her hair back. "Then one day he wasn't. Men come and go. They lie, or die, or leave you.” -AFFC Alayne II

god bobby b is such a little bitch straight up admitting he knew joff was lying and still letting cersei kill lady

[witchlingcirce]

Jon snow and Gerold Dayne (darkstar) should link up to discuss there deep hatred for Mycrella

[queen-helaenas-pet-spider]

"Save yourself some pain, girl, and give him what he wants."

"What...What does he want? Please, tell me."

"He wants you to smile and smell sweet and be his lady love", the Hound rasped. "He wants to hear you recite all your pretty little words the way your septa taught you. He wants you to love him...and fear him."

Me thinks Sandor wasn't talking about Joffrey 👀

[tell-them-the-north-remembers]

Cersei murdered several of Robert's bastards (some in their cradles) and sold one of the mothers into slavery but sure, Cat is evil for not wanting Jon to sit with them at a feast. What a horrible woman for... just trying to ignore the bastard her husband brought to their home and said would be raised here with their own children 14 years ago???

Lady Cassana Estermont and little Stannis

This is a (very late) Mother's Day post so here's Cassana and her little baby laughing at Storm's End while catching a breeze

Major thanks to @kaymcgivemeacall for the suggestion, i really had a lot of fun doing this

I should've posted this before, but let me tell you, I had a very fun day with my mom, so I forgot the phone for a while (the internet where I was was terrible anyway, so not much difference), and this time I set a timer on to count how long I took to color it, and I still can't believe it took me almost 5 hours to finish the whole thing

[joanna-lannister]

You raised me to be strong... and I wasn't. But I want to be. Help me. Always.

the lucerra & elaenor verse baratheonlings:

the children of lord borros baratheon and princess elaenor targaryen

cassandra baratheon, born 106 AC

the eldest of five, and the first of of borros and elaenor's children to make it past infancy. cassandra is a lover of animals and fashion. she mislikes the intrigues of court and many find her a little odd. this doesn't seem to bother cassandra.

aegon baratheon, born 112 AC

named after his cousin the prince, aegon is the heir to storm's end. he's a studious boy with a love for history. he takes after his mother in many things, including his fascination for dragons. his closest confidant is his twin sister alyssa.

alyssa baratheon, born 112 AC

alyssa is the twin sister of aegon. she is named after her maternal and paternal grandmothers. she has a mind for politics and little patience for fools. she likes horses and sword fighting, which her sisters deem most unladylike.

maris baratheon, born 114 AC

maris is independent and intelligent but a romantic at heart. she and alyssa are often at odds and competing against each other but at the end of the day maris loves her family a great deal.

ellyn baratheon, born 115 AC

the youngest of the bunch, and her mother's favourite (though elaenor denies having a favourite child). ellyn is coddled and spoiled by all her family. she, like her eldest sister, likes animals and nature. ellyn may seem kindhearted and naive, but she has an ambitious and ruthless side hiding beneath the surface.

big thanks @thecreategatsby for helping me brainstorm faceclaims❤️
