(@atopvisenyashill) #i was thinking about like. how crazy and confusing that must be for a child.#all your uncles and aunt love you and your brother loves you#and everyone tells you that you’re smart and skilled and mayve you can’t physically keep up but a man can be a scholar and still be#A Real Man but then you turn to your literal own father and he fucking hates you and calls you a demon every day of your life.#what does that do to a little boy.#nothing good clearly!!
The funny thing about Tywin is that he is literally the only one out of his siblings that doesn't actually like Tyrion.
Gerion was of course his favorite uncle. Tygett always treated him kindly, as Tyrion recalls when Tyrek goes missing. Kevan kisses him on the cheek (actual physical affection!) and praises him for his deeds during the battle of the blackwater. Even Genna considers him to be just like Tywin, whom she confirms she loves and goes on to describe as the sort of man who comes around only once in a thousand years.
Every one of Tywin's siblings actually likes Tyrion and can see his worth. Tywin is just blinded by his hatred and ableism.
#and no amount of good treatment by dad's sibs can make up for that total lack of parental love#bc none of them could actually step in as surrogate parent imo only jaime could be a close loving presence but not a constant one#they all lived at the rock but thats a big ass castle and i get the feeling the whole extended fam only socialized on certain occasions#genna and kevan had their own kids to raise and tygett and gerion had worse relations w tywin and prob tried to do their own thing#i don't give kevan too much credit bc even tho he has no respect for cersei he still let her sham trial change his opinion of tyrion#bc tywin condemned him too and he was too much of a tywin toady to disagree w him too much; to realize he could hate tyrion that much#'oh your awful abusive father seems a hard man but it's only bc our dad made him so by being too nice#he just had to come of age by slaughtering two houses and sexually humiliating our dad's mistress' stfu kev#whereas genna didnt even want to believe tyrion murdered tywin until jaime confirmed it#happy murderous meowmeow monday!#asoiaf#asoiaf meta#tyrion lannister#tywin lannister#gerion lannister#tygett lannister#kevan lannister#genna lannister#pride of lions
