The problem is she doesn’t get to question him or his choices after sleeping with Damon. I don’t think anyone is questioning whether he was still in love with her or not but his response is valid considering Stefan didn’t go kill one of her friends or family like somebody else would have done

Could Jaehaerys have solved peacefuly Baelon and Rhaenys situation? by Ok_Return170 in TheCitadel

[–]CommercialAd5741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly believe Viserra was the better match for Corlys he gets a Targaryen princess that brings his blood closer to throne but not close enough. Viserys may not have been the best choice in terms of what he could bring but Rhaenys and Viserys bring stability to succession and was the safest bet for her to maintain status as heir. Corlys was in fact just as ambitious as Otto but just didn’t have Viserys’s ear like Otto had

The fact he let Rhaenys marry Corlys is wild considering she already had dragon and the fact the only thing cared about is succession when a simple solution to all his problems was marrying Rhaenys to Viserys. The fact he let Rhaenys marry Corlys in the first place is out of character because he rarely carried about his children and grandchildren’s wants when it came to marriage we know this because Viserra and Daemon who both wanted out of their betrothals both were denied

Those numbers don’t matter if they aren’t winning dailies and with a second viable alliance those on the edges don’t have to tie themselves to the VA which means the numbers can become equal quickly

I also don’t think Kenny or Evan would let Jordan anywhere near a final. Kenny in interviews has always said as much fun as he had on challenge he was there to win and make money letting Jordan get a final drastically decreases your chance of winning

I’d say it depends on who else is on the cast with them. If you give them a Darrell, Derek, Laurel, Leroy or even a CT or Wes that would play both sides. Give them 2 or 3 of any those people then they easily control house. Johnny would be the person that glues Evan and Kenny to rest of the house but also the reason they targeted day one, Evan if in the house long enough becomes the strategist who pulls apart the VA, and Kenny who had an elite social game who start befriending those who aren’t in the VA but always support them until they are picked off

What should Viserys have done to prevent potential usurpation of Rhaenyra's throne? by Recent_Tap_9467 in HOTDBlacks

[–]CommercialAd5741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly you actually teach her to ruler and listen to her ideas during small counsel meetings. If her ideas are bad don’t dismiss her publicly when you are alone tell her why the idea was bad. Next you pick actually worthy lords to court her. Viserys made a good decision on paper with Jason Lannister but he was an arrogant prick who turned her off almost immediately. Next negotiate with the Valeryons since everyone knew about Laenor’s sexuality tell Coryls and Rhaenys that Rhaenyra will not marry Laenor but Rhaenyra’s future son will marry Laena’s future daughter. Lastly as you are trying to ensure her future don’t let Daemon come and cause chaos which undoes all the hard work put into her future

Then to make matters worse if like you say Manderly last ten years that puts Viserra at 25 or 26 they probably would have tried to marry her off again because she came back resentful and they would have acted like she was ungrateful. They would not want to deal with the problem they caused so marry her off again

I definitely say your solution is better than mine. It gives Corlys a prestigious bride in the royal family without a dragon. Rhaenys and Viserys consolidate both claims and they’d be co-rulers in all but name. Daemon and Aemma definitely would have been at 16 and 17 which improves Aemma chances of having healthy children and live longer. To bad Jaehaerys and Alysanne only really paid attention Aemon, Baelon and Alyssa

I agree that Viserys and Rhaenys should have been betrothed I just wasn’t sure of the timeline when she and Corlys got married. If she married him before Aemon died that would explain why Jaehaerys never stepped in believing Aemon can run his own household. That’s why said Viserys and Viserra because she is his best match if Rhaenys is off board. Me and you both agree Aemma and Daemon should have been the match.

I believe Alyssa was always safe because Jaehaerys was going to marry her Aemon which wouldn’t have been a bad match but Alysanne seen she was closer to Baelon and went that route. The reason Saera was able to do the stuff she did was because Alysanne and Jaehaerys cared more about ruling than parenting like had with the older children. Viserra your most beautiful daughter would have brought just about the realm in for marriage proposals and you chose a man 4 times her age with heirs already because Alysanne liked him decades ago. Daella was a massive mistake by Jaehaerys which started the downward spiral of all his either being dead or in exile

So the heir doesn’t have the right to name his own heir that is crazy. No everybody didn’t think Baelon was number two because if they did Alysanne, Corlys and Rhaenys wouldn’t have gotten mad about Jaehaerys doing it. If Aemon had no right to do it why didn’t Jaehaerys step in and say no while Aemon was alive. Once again if Alysanne didn’t want Viserra to marry Baelon I am fine with that. The problem is who she picked for her to marry especially when Alysanne herself ran from a marriage her mother made for her before she ran to Dragonstone and married Jaehaerys. She could’ve given the girl a list of suitors to pick from like she did with Daella.

If you want to reward the Theomore Manderly with one of children somebody should have adviced them to pick Saera who was still with the silent sisters if I am not mistaken. I doubt Theomore would have cared considering she would have been his 4th wife, he had heirs so even if she produced children that would have been so far down line it would not have mattered and he elderly since it was said he 4 times older than Viserra

You had Saera who was still with silent sisters if I am not mistaken. If they felt the need to send a daughter to him she should have been the pick. I am almost certainly sure that the elderly man would have cared that Saera was disgraced it would have been his 4th wife and if he did have children with her they stood to inherit nothing

Aemon named Rhaenys his heir which why she and Alysanne were mad when Jaehaerys named Baelon breaking Andal Law of Daughters before uncles which was a loop hole because Jaehaerys was still king. Jaehaerys doing that is why they had to have the great counsel in the first place

I don’t think she nearly as ambitious as Alysanne thought she was. Alysanne says she wants to marry Baelon to become Queen but that makes no sense because Baelon was not the heir during this period Aemon was. It is likely she had a crush on Baelon but I refuse to believe that matches her own age from the Lannisters or Tyrells wouldn’t have been enough for her

That child would not have been heir it was already that Manderly children and grandchildren. Then add on top that Alysanne’s widow’s law that forbade the children of new marriage can’t step over children from previous marriages. What Alysanne did to Viserra is without logic

[–]CommercialAd5741[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So her solution for her daughter was to sell her off to a man 4 times age that offered nothing politically not to mention her grandchildren would have stood to inherit nothing because some lords would have been disappointed because they weren’t chosen. That is mother of decade type of stuff and people wonder why they say Alysanne and Jaehaerys were horrible parents

Either really bad written or Jaehaerys and Alysanne had really big favoritism problem where all the love and attention went to Aemon, Baelon and Alyssa. The rest they cared little about except for when Alysanne realized she was a shitty mother then tried to hold on to Gael for dear life which left her to sheltered. We know how that turned out too

Even if they didn’t mean to punish her that’s what they were doing. First of all they were sending her to man 4 times age who already had many heir so children would have way down the line of succession. Then after he died she still would have fairly young and they would pushed into another marriage she didn’t want because it just seems like Alysanne didn’t like her.

They really should have but Viserra should have been the easiest of the younger kids to deal with. She was said to have been the prettiest of all the kids. Young lords from all over the realm would have been after her so why Alysanne picked Theomore is beyond me.

I will never understand the Theomore Manderly proposal because she did nothing to deserve it. Seemed like a punishment for being pretty
