#valyrianscrolls #preasoiafedit #asoiafedit #velaryonedit #litedit #asoiaf #addam velaryon #daenaera velaryon #corlys velaryon #alyn velaryon #house velaryon #edit #*mine #thinking about these parallels again 🫠 #obviously corlys/alyn don't intend for addam/daenaera to get hurt #but they are still the ones who used them as pawns #placing them in a dangerous position #corlys would've been aware rhaenyra was opposed to addam as the new heir to driftmark but he still went ahead with his plan #and when rhaenyra found an opportunity she scapegoated addam #in the same way alyn knows the court environment is dangerous yet he still acts to have daenaera made the queen #and then she ends up poisoned and later almost starves to death #both addam and daenaera are too young and naive to be aware of the politics happening around them #and because they are such people pleasers they would just be happy to be of use to their family patriarchs #I wish the first lyric said 'violent father' instead of 'violent mother' but oh well
