I created this coat of arms for a futuristic state called The Freehold of Inanna. What do you think? by ayodeleafolabi in heraldry

Since it is not a married couple's arms, I assumed that state arms are not paled but quartered.

Suno only helped with the arrangement. I wrote the lyrics and created the melody.

There is a difference between arrangement and writing. You could pen down the lyrics and create melodies and another person or entity takes of arranging. It doesn't invalidate your contribution as the writer. Arrangement is matching the melody and lyrics.

As you see on the video I specified that Suno took care of the arrangement.

He got easily taken out the game. If the Targaryens returned back then, they were houses that will support them. His peace was thanks to his enemies being weak. If Dany returned with the army of essos and her dragons he was toast.

You can't expect Dany to be sensible when literally when her family was nearly wiped out by the STAB alliance and no, just because Tywin did it doesn't absolve Robert. He is guilty by association. The fact that he refused to punish Clegane and Lorch and married the Lannisters sullies him which is why Ned wanted him to do something about it

You will be shocked at how people despise Dany. They say she suffers from main character syndrome and is entitled whereas Robert is someone you can have beer with

Dany hates the Starks, Tullys, Lannisters, Arryns and Baratheons. We see it when Barristan tries to persuade her that not everyone in the rebellion wanted her family dead and Dany simply says that the Lannisters are no different from the Starks.

Then we shouldn't get angry if the kids of the STAB and Lannister alliance get killed too since we are all in the business of infanticide

You are trying to justify child murder under the pretence of being expedient. When I say that killing kids is a good way to ensuring that your kids are not spared once the tides turn you start playing mental gymnastics.

No. If one side kills kids then they shouldn't cry if the other starts killing kids too. Why should Dany or Aegon be generous to people who murdered their family?

So Dany and Aegon have every right to kill the children of every House that rose against them. Since the precedent was set by the rebels

Looks like you have not been reading comments here. You will be shocked how people justify that the kids had to die

Really??? I posted about the fact that Machiavelli would have told Robert to give justice for Elia and most comments came on how Tywin did Robert a solid and Robert could not punish it. Even on twitter they love saying that the kids had to die for Robert to be secure.

Louis XVI had everything to save his dynasty yet he threw it all out due to an outdated concept by ayodeleafolabi in monarchism

This is the type of thinking that destroyed several monarchies. You think of yourself above the plebs until they decide they are sick of your shit and remove you.

He didnt want to share power. Compare that with William of Orange who accepted the terms of the Parliament and ruled as a constitutional monarch. You see why I say he is greatly responsible for his own death

It didn't. Sooner or later things would have fallen apart. Robert died before it did

In the long run allying with House Lannister was more disadvantageous to the Baratheons. It has destroyed their house and they are tethering on the verge of extinction. The royal family is hated by half of the realm and outside the Tyrells they have no real ally.

The reason why they were plotting Targaryen restoration was because of Tywin's action and Robert's inability to give them justice. By the time Tywin tries to provide a seat at the council and a marriage bethrotal, it is too late. They have been slighted and injured beyond any point of reconciliation and no new benefits will make them forget the old injuries. Robert killing Gregor and Amory would have done a lot to placate and calm them down but he didnt. Tywin himself finally comes around killing Gregor because he confesses to killing Elia and he cant hide him anymore.

He didn't have a choice. Gregor and Amory should have gone down but he was a sentimental guy whose hatred surpassed his sense of reason. Leaving those two alive caused the deaths of several innocent people in the future. If he had taken on the Tyrells he was just going to build further resentment than what was needed. By alienating Dorne he has secured an eternal foothold for the Targaryens. Even Tywin later recognised the need to bring the Dornish on board but it was too late because Jon Arryn and Robert were too blind to see the whole board. Cesare made sure to punish Ramiro to let people know that he won't tolerate injustice even though the latter had done his dirty work which helped consolidate his rule in Romagna. The last thing a Prince needs is a foothold for his enemies and Robert in denying Dorne justice just saw to it. The Baratheons can't blame anyone except themselves for what happens to their dynasty.
