It’s easy to do things that are shocking or unexpected, but they have to grow out of characters. They have to grow out of situations. Otherwise, it’s just being shocking for being shocking.

Incredible, who would have thought it? (caution: sarcasm)

Robert’s Rebellion was not built on a fucking lie. It was the most justified thing in the series. Is it a lie that Aerys was burning half the country and the tensions finally snapped with the crown prince deciding to say “Fuck my duty, I’m going to do whatever I want, consequences be damned”? 

And, like, saying RR was “built on a lie”…. how many other people’s actions does this completely invalidate? Did Jaime kill Aerys for nothing then?

D&D just don’t understand what Robert’s Rebellion was actually about.
