#of his generation dying because of an sri and long term substance abuse still puts him above his suicidal homicidal cousins

[visenyaism]

Targ impersonators are always trying to become Aegon the Conqueror or Aemon the Dragonknight or some other warrior, when Daeron, eldest son of Maekar and Dyanna, is RIGHT THERE. Why would you want to spend decades of your life devoted to becoming a doomed monarch or an equally doomed knight when you can simply do as Daeron does?

He spends his time doing (A) reinforcing the reason for his well-earned name of "Daeron the Drunken" whilst simultaneously using it as a way to escape The Horrors™️. (B) Uses his Just Some Guy Vibe to slip past royal guards and get himself out of participating in tourneys because he doesn't like exercise or anything that goes with being a knight. (C) If he can't Just Some Guy himself out of the tourney, he'll lay down in the mud and pretend to be unconscious because nobody does it better than he does. (D) Has lowered his family's opinion and expectations of him so much that he never has to put real effort into anything. (E) "If I look back at my dreams, I am lost to the party lifestyle..."

love that being a miserable alcoholic who engages in hedonism to seek oblivion because it is the only place he is not haunted by his prophetic doom nightmares and because he does not want to be king and dies as a result of that behavior is still like a top five least tragic targaryen outcome
