Palazzo Farnese (x)
“Here lies a toppled god—
His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.”

A tragedy in the making.

the thing about the dance is that. the entire pointless horror of it really shines through aegon and viserys. grrm took the pathos of the princes in the tower enigma from the war of the roses and reversed it. the tragedy isn’t that the children died - it’s that they were the only ones who lived. and so the kingdom rearranges itself around boy kings with gaping wounds for souls because that’s what feudal systems do - but what can you do with a targaryen king who cannot stand the sight of a dragon ? the magic is gone. the tragedy must degrade into a farce. and right on cue here comes aegon the fourth!

riverrun would be so beautifully decorated inside and outside. the pretty castle surrounded by rivers and fertile as hell floodplains? home of the family granted stewardship of the region (even if they’ve only been in power since conquest) - they would be one of the most wealthy and well decorated keeps. prove me wrong (you can’t)
