I love deeply flawed characters

Lyonel has a hidden orchestra trailing them at all times, turning every moment into an EDIT.

Dunk: Where is that music even coming from?

Lyonel: (blinks, eyes soft and shining)

~The Night We Met, played on a lute.~

Oh, take me back to the night we met

Only for Edderion to abscond with a giant hedge knight. The boy can't wait to bring him home to mom & dad. 😂

No Trial of Seven but Baelor straight up crashing out in his pavilion.

Lmaooo you are a genius!!! I can just see the scouts reporting: man of certainly targaryen looks, with a sheet of long, silver hair; he's a knight atop a warhorse wearing leatherbound armor etched with flames!! Baelor tries not to be hopeful but he's already wondering what kind of weird lowkey flirting he can do. Their eldest children are grown; surely there's a chance here, right??

WRONG Maekar doesn't travel below the neck for nothin!!! He can't go without his husband's knot for a week, let alone the month of travel there, a whole TOURNAMENT, a month of travel back?? he's in Winterfell herding his handsome brooding pups!!

Oh but no matter, this fiery omega is the picture of Maekar as a boy! He's clever! He's biting! He's learned and well-trained! He styles himself "the Ice Flame" because he's a self-important little shit who thinks being good at a joust is being good at life! Perhaps Baelor can arrange a betrothal between Edderion and Valarr, and as you said, it's really just a ploy to get closer to Maekar while giving his son the kind of omega he never got!

PSYCH Edderion is too busy trying to find his ornery little brother, and finds him following this pathetic golden retriever of an alpha hedge knight!! Plus, Aegon's told this idiot to ride against Edderion and he loses in less than a minute. He should nobly allow Ser Duncan to keep his horse and armor without having to ransom it back. He informs Ser Duncan to come to his pavillion later to "negotiate". Is it baby trapping if Dunk is down for it? Who knows, but Edderion doesn't feel guilt either way.

This is partly because Lyonel doenst want to play into Dunks self-imgae issues. Partly because Lyonel keeps thinking that he(lyonel) is taller/bigger than he actually is, as he's too used to being the tallest/biggest man in any given room, so he keeps overestimating himself. And partly because he loves how big Dunk is a lottle bit.

NOT BROKE HIS NOSE SITTING ON HIS FACE jfjahdkakdhfhfjakah im crying and not him saying “nah I’ll keep going” like Travis barker breaking his leg during that show or whatever that one time. I hope it’s so minor because I am cringeing in pain (I am a weakling).
