HOTD might have an unstable crown but Akotsk has everyone from smallfolk to Lords Paramaount to 13 year old girls and toddlers playing on the floor walking around saying the type of shit that got Vaemon Velaryon’s head bisected and none of the Targs can do anything because they’re regular people and they need the good PR, which crown prince Baelor was so keenly aware of he died trying to brighten their image. Aerion was seething over a puppet show less because he’s insane and thinks he’s a dragon and more because he’s also keenly aware and very resentful of their diminished status (even if his brain interprets that through thinking he’s a dragon), and on top of that he had to have an actual trial for hurting a peasant girl and a hedge knight. Maekar’s audible disdain for andal judicial customs while Baelor pointedly insisted upon respecting them communicated a lot. Direct comparison with Aerion’s plot to Daemon killing his high born wife and crushing his own awed foot soldiers under Caraxes’ claws with no regard or consequences but when he went out and saw a mean play about his family he sincerely just thought it was funny

thank god for female characters who have something wrong with them amen
