Can someone describe this genre of man to me because it has me in a chokehold

when you are the beloved prince of the realm who serves face even at funerals but you are doomed by the narrative

Me every time something happens to a CGI dragon that never existed:

Kings on the Iron Throne

Maekar's worst trait is that he loves his children too much. It's in "This man attacked my son" and "He's my last son" and taking the side of his most disappointing children even when he knows that they can't possibly be in the right. Daeron has the right of it when he points out that Egg could become a monster like Aerion if trapped in Summerhall, but Maekar refuses to see that because he hasn't realized that love isn't always enough. It didn't save Daeron, it didn't save Aerion, it won't save Egg.

Daeron is self-critical and self-deprecating. He would definitely prefer to be called 'the drunken' over 'the dreamer.' I think he would HATE that being his nickname. The thought of being permanently defined by them, of having that label etched beside his name for the rest of his life, would probably be unbearable for him.

"War is easier than sons."
