#trying to establish the recent history for my asoiaf bookworm AU just really highlights for me how politically broken westeros is#yurgenschmidt is simply too functional of a society to fit asoiaf fuckery djdjdjdj#i’m like hmmm I can’t realistically make robert archduke of the stormlands because like literally zero nobles would have backed someone#THAT incompetent#the only thing he does good is violence lol#but if robert isn’t at least the heir to the stormlands then his betrothal to lyanna makes no sense#so i was like well the baratheons are probably a branch of the targaryens#so maybe i could make robert a prince who is rhaegar’s half-brother rather than his cousin#but like once again who is backing robert for the throne against rhaegar????#because there’s no way aerys stays king for as long as he did in asoiaf when he’s behaving that erratically#his own retainers would probably support forcing him to abdicate in favor of rhaegar#and probably like the minute rhaegar is old enough to take over#so rhaegar is already king#dany is probably never conceived#there’s no need for the southron ambitions alliance against aerys#everything falls apart because the nobles of yurgenschmidt are less enamored of violence and more concerned with competence
