If Tywin was to decide, a few years after Joanna's death, to remarry, who and what (in terms of marriage power) do you think he would go for?

The problem is, I can’t work in a scenario which by the author’s own admission would never happen. Tywin did not want to remarry, point blank, despite having plenty of opportunity (certainly in terms of time) to do so. Joanna was, I think, completely irreplaceable in Tywin’s mind as the ideal bride: the kinswoman whose main-line (male) Lannister pedigree identified her as elite among the levels of humanity (by Tywin’s calculus, anyway); the companion of his childhood at Casterly Rock, whom he had loved and had married at least in part for love; the trusted confidante who could not only make him smile and laugh but who had supposedly ruled Tywin personally as much as he had ruled as Hand politically; the mother of his golden twins, especially precious heir Jaime, the products of Tywin’s quest for politico-dynastic domination through Lannister perfection. Tywin, the man who never did anything by half measures - as small-scale as shaving his head when his hair began thinning or as large-scale as drowning every Reyne inside Castamere at the tail end of the Reyne-Tarbeck Rebellion - could not simply remarry after a proper period of mourning: he would remain a widower, publicly advertising his permanent status as only husband to the late Jonna.

If this all sounds mighty hypocritical given Tywin’s ruthless insistence on unhappy but diplomatically advantageous marriages for his children, as well as his violent and cruel outrage toward Tyrion and Tysha’s marriage purely for love … well, you’re right! Tywin was not, as much as he might have wanted to appear, a gilded android guided only by (what he saw as) cold logic and political acumen, but a deeply emotional man, driven by (among other things) love, anger, grief, hatred, pride, and jealousy. Tywin, but not his children, could sacrifice any potential political benefits to be had via aristocratic marriage/remarriage because he had felt Joanna’s death so strongly, because he wanted to honor her memory by not remarrying, because he needed to show how much he had loved her. (Which did not, of course, prevent Tywin from using sex workers before and after Joanna died - a reflection, I think, both of the hypocrisy in Tywin’s public perception versus his private life as well as Tywin’s attitude toward sex work specifically and people he considered subhuman more generally.)

Also, and it me so of course I have to say it, Tywin’s refusal to remarry after a beloved wife’s death is a nod to Philip IV in The Accursed Kings. In yet another parallel between Philip IV and Tywin, Druon’s Iron King was married only to Jeanne of Navarre (note the almost identical names of their respective wives), with Druon describing Jeanne as “the only love of [Philip’s] life” and noting that following Jeanne’s death Philip had “never wanted any other woman” and “had looked at none other and would never do so” (nearly identical to what Cersei, incorrectly, thinks about Tywin in the wake of his death).

my mind has been developing this delusion world in which tywin lannister was the mad king’s sugar baby. aerys was “vain, proud, and changeable, traits that made him easy prey for flatterers and lickspittles” (awoiaf p.190). upon becoming king, he fired his father’s older and wiser hand and named tywin in his place, making tywin the youngest hand in the entire history of the seven kingdoms, but how did we get there?

there were childhood friends. tywin served as a page in court and we know from genna that tywin mistrusted laughter due to hearing too many people laughing at his father. at this point in time, the lannisters were a laughingstock or at least tywin wholeheartedly believed this, so the subsequent friendship he makes with the crown prince thrusts him upwards in status and into higher scrutiny. tywin is the elder, but aerys is the prince. they spend years together with the established dynamic of aerys being the one with power and tywin (albeit his friend) his servant. it is only when tywin dares to step outside this master/servant dynamic aerys has cooked up, that they begin to fall apart.

they go to war together. aerys chooses tywin, a newly made knight, to knight him. this was the war of the ninepenny kings, he could have chosen gerold hightower. he could have chosen roger reyne, or any number of distinguished knights and commanders, but no he chose tywin who had likely just been knighted himself. for added context, during this war tywin’s father stayed at home with his mistress rather than taking to the battlefield. nearly a year later, aerys is crowned and tywin is named hand of the king. as hand of the king, tywin is allowed any expense, any decision, literally allowed to do anything he wants at aerys’ leave (up until their toxic breakup era).

something that always fascinated me within this was why after gaining power of his own merit and name does he make his father’s mistress do a walk of atonement? at first, i believed this to be a way to embarrass his father further from the grave and cement his notoriety. however, right after he forces the walk of atonement, aerys and tywin rule the kingdom from casterly rock for a year (awoiaf p.194). if we believe that tywin has a subconscious or conscious shame in regards to using aerys’ fondness for him (whether you want to see it romantically or not) for seize of power and political gain, the walk of atonement is so interesting as it is a public self-flagellation of a transactional relationship that he himself mirrors. it is after this very act that aerys holds court (and tywin) at casterly rock, the scene of the crime in a sense. here tywin is, like his fathers mistresses in the same very home, flattering and bootlicking the same man for money, influence, and power. it is only after this year in casterly rock where tywin is forced to reconcile with these similarities that their relationship dissolves.

in conclusion, tywin was playing sugar baby to aerys and their relationship soured when tywin decided he wished for power that was truly his own rather than through aerys.

#additionally in regards to joanna. i view tywin and joanna as having like trauma bonded over being aerys’ mistresses #asoiaf #guava.txt #tywin lannister #aerys targaryen #aerys ii targaryen #the mad king #aerwin #tywin sugar baby au (or is it?) this is just my preferred canon interpretation thanks for coming to my ted talk #might write an aerys viewpoint on this but essentially aerys is insecure he knows the only reason he’s in power is bc of his name #he knows others think tywin a better fit and he likely does too so he abuses their power dynamic and lowers it from friends to that of #servant and master so that it makes him feel less insecure. he’s also one sided in love with tywin and likely has been his whole life. yea. #the question is: what was the last straw at casterly rock? #i think aerys gave him jewels or like clothes or some shit that his father did for his mistress and he like lost it. bam! tywin is here #this was not supposed to be so long god. i didn’t even get into my jaime thing 😥 #house lannister #tywin sugar baby au

At a humane level, (this is delusional when it comes to tywin so bear with me) does Tywin ever think about at his age, that Aerys and Steffon never got to see this age? Does he think about all those years ago, does he think about Joanna and Rhaella. Both dying the same way.

With the release of more RareWare games for Nintendo Switch Online (such as Blast Corps and Killer Instinct) it would be great if we got to see these games finally get re-released

I had thought about Conker's Bad Fur Day, but I think his chances of ever getting on NSO are pretty low.

Aerys secretly had a thing for Tywin and that's the real reason he was obsessed with Joanna because she was as close to a female Tywin as he could get.

You are not wrong in that I definitely think part of Aerys' fascination with Joanna was that she "belonged" to Tywin. Not to relate everything to Viserys and Daemon (because Visaemon is THEE quintessential fucked up Targaryen brother dynamic, it doesn't get more Caught By Generational Curses than those two, but also, not every fucked up Targaryen dynamic is the same as Visaemon, like Aerys isn't out here wishing Tywin would impregnate him lmao), BUT the way part of Daemon's fascination with Rhaenyra is because she's a socially acceptable version of his brother that he can lust after and "own", I think Aerys resented Tywin and Joanna's attention being split from him to each other, which is why he moved the entire court to Casterly Rock after Joanna birthed the twins. He wants to be the center of their world and Tywin having a wife and children that he pays more attention to than Aerys doesn't fit in with that.

There's also, in my opinion, a certain level of resentment because Tywin got to choose his wife and was clearly happy with and in love with Joanna, whereas Rhaella and Aerys are unhappy for their entire forced marriage. And the way that like, Cersei or Naerys can't keep women at court because their husbands will jsut fuck them as a way of disrespecting their wives, I imagine Aerys' fascination with Joanna was also a way of hurting Rhaella - you can't escape me, I control every aspect of your life including the lives of your beloved ladies. There's certainly a sexual element in all of this, a fascination and preoccupation with who Tywin is sticking it in that is at the center of Aerys' resentment, along with probably feeling he's owed a happier marriage than the non Valyrian nobody who serves him. You can definitely make it real gay and fucked up, is what I'm saying, lmao.

I kind of hate that, as a historian, my knowledge bank is composed of two very contrasting things:

genocide/ethnic cleansing

historical textiles and fashion

like great, I can tell you about when x tried to kill a bunch of people or you can have me look at your favorite dumbass’ outfit and i can tell you all about a bunch of crazy little details you probably have no clue even existed

#ooc #[ like raphael’s outfit is interesting to me for example ] #[ because it looks like it would high renaissance and it’s not ] #[ his outfit is from late medieval spanish aristocrat fashion ] #[ worn during the formative years of the inquisition ] #[ the details on his sleeves are called guarding and they came into fashion in the last two decades of the 1400’s ] #[ they’re meant to be evocative of wartime mending by soldiers having to stitch their uniforms back into serviceable condition ] #[ high class nobles slashed their garments to evoke the look and then sewed in new pieces ] #[ this is how passementerie got started which is where lace-making got its start ] #[ most often as panel pieces to insert for guards and then later as their own separate thing ] #[ another fun detail: that was a very pivotal time in spanish history ] #[ the fashion would peak around the reign of joanna of castile ] #[ her son would go on to become not only a king of spain but the holy roman emperor ] #[ textiles: lot of fun nuances can be put into characters without having to say a thing ]
