maekar targaryen. in this ancient line of kings and conquerors he's like if sam eagle from the muppets was a person. he's the son of the king yet nobody gaf enough to learn how to pronounce his name right. everyone thinks he's 50 (he's 35). he's a widower and single father to 6 kids and he cares for them deeply but he's also kind of shit at it. one day he will be king and all because he killed his brother by mistake at a little girl's 13th birthday

Maekar objecting to his father sending a 9 or 10 year old Aemon to the citadel. Maekar going out to look for Daeron and Egg himself. Maekar joining Daeron and Aerion in the Trial of Seven. Maekar using the Kingsguard in the Trial of Seven to try to protect Daeron and Aerion. Maekar offering Dunk a position in his personal guard for Egg. Maekar allowing Egg to squire for Dunk because he’s the only knight Egg will squire for. Maekar giving Egg a ring with his personal seal to protect Egg while travelling with Dunk. Maekar summoning Aemon to court to be his maester as soon as he ascended the Iron Throne… mans just really loved his sons.

Egg: Are you mad, father? Maekar: No. Egg: So sharpening your knives at 3 in the morning is just a hobby?
