ya ever think about how the lannister sibs all have big secrets kept from each other, like huge life-altering experiences? jaime's is the most obvious, the most talked-about, with the full story of his kingslaying and everything he endured from aerys leading up to it. it's clear enough to me that brienne was the first he opened up to about that, including either sibling. they never asked, but unlike ned stark and the rest deriding him as kingslayer, their lack of curiosity is no offense in itself bc as tywin's other children they would never judge him for turning his cloak purely out of family loyalty. ned's assumption of jaime's motives is directly tied to his judgment of jaime, but it's the judgment that rankles jaime so. choosing your father's life over a king's is hardly the worst crime in itself. how can he explain all the other reasons without prompting when its not just about his crime but all his trauma too? is there any basis for that in his relationship with cersei, who always relied on him for comfort and consolation but seems less adept at providing the same to him? or even with tyrion, his only real male friend for years, but also his baby brother, the one he was meant to protect and take care of, who was only 10 at the time of the kingslaying? even to fully share all with tyrion years later, both adults, could be something of a role reversal, forever shattering tyrion's image of him as the strong invulnerable golden big brother by revealing his own broken inner child. jaime can't break out from those sibling roles and patterns, so neither can ever understand that part of him, never knowing the early life he had at court without either of them with him.

and tyrion, who trusted jaime more than anyone in the world before learning the truth about tysha, still could not confide in him freely even when all that trust was still intact. jaime must have heard some story of what tywin did to tysha to feel the need to confess his lie, but he def didn't hear it straight from tyrion bc imo there's no way he could still think confessing would help anything if he understood how scarred tyrion was by what he witnessed and esp not knowing that tywin ordered him to participate at the end. tyrion could reveal all that to bronn when they barely knew each other but not to his beloved brother, his first and best friend. how can the most abused child explain all his unknown abuse to the golden child, the big brother meant to protect him who couldn't always do so? how does he even begin to reveal the deepest trauma that happened to him when jaime wasn't in the room, esp when the story does start with jaime apparently trying to help him by fixing him up with tysha?

and then there's cersei and all her secrets. she always turned to jaime for consolation, or at least when he knew she needed it, but how many times did he not know? how personally could she confide in him as they grew older and their paths diverged? we know the first big secret was maggy the frog's prophecy, her first big scare, which came on the cusp of puberty, an experience she couldn't share with her twin bc he would prob just laugh and make a joke of it. in their first real scene together, in bran's pov, he mocks lysa's motherly fears and likens her to cersei. ("I think birthing does something to your minds. You are all mad." He laughed.) then he makes light of her marital discord, ("And whose fault is that, sweet sister?"), having no idea of the depth of pain she'd suffered from robert, beyond his infidelities. he later blames her for being robert's queen, not his, only thinking of how she managed to arrange his kg post, that power to forever tie him to her in secret, never grasping her lack of control in marriage, that "a queen is only a woman after all". in her pride it was hard to reveal all she'd suffered as a woman, but she also couldn't rely on jaime's response if he knew of her abuse, knowing he would kill robert and get himself killed too, only making her and their children's lives more precarious. she couldn't trust him to listen about securing the throne before dealing with robert or that as robert's victim it was her right to decide such matters, to choose his fate, not jaime's place to avenge her without her say-so first. all bc they were both too stuck in their idea of jaime as her sword, nothing more, with jaime determined to protect her and tyrion, always a bodyguard before he ever donned a white cloak.

something something tywin did his best to play his children off each other and the most effective thing he did to divide them was by setting jaime up as the golden child and family protector. the designated lannister sword only pointing at threats outside their house. a knight serving his family whose protection was always limited, who could never protect them from the person who first hurt cersei and tyrion and made them who they were at a distance from him, bc ofc he couldn't fight his own father, much less slay him with a sword.

something something maybe the reason that joff+marg+loras was a surer recipe for kingslayer stew than robert+cersei+jaime is all down to that tyrell lack of abusive structure. not that loras cared more about marg, was more willing to kill for her than jaime was to kill robert, but that there wasn't a chance of marg hiding her misery from him if/when her husband abused her in their shared household. it's not like he understood her to the point of mind-reading but when their previous royal marital household involved her bearding for his boyfriend then they prob had a pretty good basis of open communication. in that sense, the lannicest twins with all their sexual and physical intimacy still had less emotional intimacy than the tyrell queen and her kg brother.

“Be careful, I don’t want you to choke.” - robb @ Margarey

✿ Dark irises of the Tyrell heiress slightly widened from the caring but dominant words from the young lord. Her gaze shifted from the jewel covered goblet that was resting in her gentle grip. Swallowing hard all of a sudden made the heiress almost choke on the divine wine she'd been gulping down a little to fast. The young lord was right, if Margarey went on at this rate, she'd end up drunk off her arse, and choking from just how fast she was gulping down the wine. This dominant side of the young lord made the lady's cheeks become just a little bit dark shade of pink than what they already were thanks to the wine.

"I. . . I -- Um, I do apologize my l -- lord." Margy placed the lovely jewel covered goblet on the table in front of her. Now trying to avoid eye contact with the young lord.

"How un-lady like of me. . ." She trailed off, those words weren't meant to be spoke aloud. Those were supposed to be inner thoughts.

Fragrances I think Margaery Tyrell would wear…

Delina by Parfums De Marly

Ok, so I have three rose perfumes on this list for Margaery, because A: She’s a classy lady and what is more the embodiment of class than a rose? B: I love roses. C: House Tyrell’s sigil is literally a rose, D: I love roses. I don’t think we need any more reasons than that. So let’s move on, this perfume house, I mean there's a reason parfums de marly has boomed in popularity as much as it has, their fragrance collections, from the bottles down to the juice, are just the embodiment of beauty and class. So there are exactly three perfumes in this Delina line. Delina, Delina Exclusif, and Delina La Rosée, they are all rose focused perfumes, rose is the main character in all of them but the original has the most florals in the notes so i decided to go with the original Delina since Margaery gives me the vibe of being a floral lover. I can see her also wearing the flankers of this depending on her mood, but I picked the original to be her main since there's more of a floral party happening in the notes. So house tyrell of high garden, rules over a region in southwestern westeros which is noted to be highly fertile land and highly populated. So this has me thinking Margeary would adore perfumes that are floral or give a vibe of spring. Spring is a fertile season and everything is in bloom, so she would have a preference for scents that smell elegant and lush. I have only seen the television series and in almost every scene she was present, the weather or vibe was never cold and harsh so i can’t see her wearing something rich or cloying like a gourmand for example. Her choice or taste in perfumes would lean very floral, if i can imagine her smelling like anything it would definitely be flowers. Another interesting fact is that Delina is a popular choice for many brides, it’s a popular wedding scent and our girl margaery gets married three times, if my memory serves me correctly. I think this would be her pick for her second wedding to Joffrey. It’s light, it’s feminine, it’s sweet, it’s unassuming and that’s exactly how Margaery wants to come off to the Lannisters. She doesn’t want to step on any toes. She wants to be subtle and calculating with every move she makes, and this perfume is perfect for that because it is non threatening. It’s just feminine and demure and that’s exactly how this woman wants to be seen, or rather needs to be seen if she’s going to play the game. So now we arrive at the notes, the top notes greet you with a juicy burst of lychee, rhubarb and bergamot they give it a sweetness, and a sharpness there's a spicy kick from the nutmeg so the opening is quite lively then it settles in the middle with the florals, we have Turkish rose, peony and petalia which are delicate almost powdery florals all wrapped in vanilla and musk this combination is light and creamy. The middle notes, especially with that rose being the main character here, give this perfume it’s notorious feminine elegance, which I think are qualities Margaery highly embodies. Now we get to the base notes where this perfume gets very fascinating, we have vetiver which is known to be a masculine leaning note, this grants this fragrance an assertiveness despite it starting off as quite demure, tell me the way these notes are layered on top of each other isn’t representative of margaery's mask and how we are slowly unravelling the mastermind beneath the doe eyes. Beside the vetiver we have cedar, incense, and cashmeran. They give this perfume such depth and margaery isn’t just a pretty face, she has depth and she’s making big moves to secure her place on the throne. This fragrance remains to be one of my favourites to this day because of its feminine complexity, and I think it is so Margaery. This perfume has bright girly and sweet notes at the top and middle which is the image she so very well wants to be known for, the impression she wants to make on others, the deeper notes at the bottom I think are reflective of her scheming side, and also represent how she felt around Joffrey. Definitely a wise choice wedding scent for the purple wedding.

À La Rose by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Alright, so for the second choice I went with something extravagant but not as complicated in the notes as our first choice. This perfume is gorgeous and is one of my favourites from this house. Another rose based perfume, as evident in the name but this one feels more simple than Delina. I feel this would be Margaery’s choice for her third wedding to Tommen. He was sweet to her and she felt safer with him, so she would go for a simple fragrance that is honest and doesn’t have all these complex layers to hide behind. I know I keep calling this perfume simple, but trust me that is not a bad thing. It is one of my favourites and if you are a rose lover like myself, you would indulge in this too. Again, it’s very lush and I think this perfume is best suited to warmer weather and like the price of the bottle, it smells expensive. It is said that the perfumer behind this fragrance, Francis Kurkdijan, said that each bottle is made up of 250 centifolia roses, and 150 damasca roses. So if this isn’t a rose explosion in a bottle, I don't know what is. And what is more fitting for house Tyrell? We have bergamot and california orange greeting you at the top, the bulgarian and grasse rose notes taking centre stage in the middle accompanied by other light florals such as violet and magnolia, and everything is enveloped in sensual musk and cedar giving this fragrance the clean, effortless and classy femininity it’s so known for. She would definitely wear this to her second wedding and it would be more obvious that she’s feeling more relaxed and happy because this perfume does just that, brings your mind to a safe space and makes you feel beautiful and feminine. I definitely associate this perfume with positive memories and feelings and i am sure it would do the same for Margaery.

Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums Privés

Now we’re taking a more darker elegant tone with rose. This perfume is an ambery rose, and definitely what I would class as a deeper rose compared to the first two perfumes. Where the first two have a youthful elegance, this one is more sensual and deeper. This perfume has intense projection and lasts you forever. This is a sophisticated fragrance and it is the most assertive on this list, hence the name atomic. It really encapsulates the beauty and danger that is House tyrell. Because every rose has thorns, and this perfume is just that with it’s projection. I feel this would be a perfume Margaery would spray on to feel powerful. Top notes include, pink pepper, hedione and bergamot and the opening has a kick to it, the middle notes are soft florals, bulgarian rose, turkish rose and egyptian jasmine and the base notes offer it it’s warmth with vanilla and amber. Definitely a “Don’t mess with me.” kind of perfume and something as thorny as this is fit for a lady trying to secure her place on the throne.

Fox In The Flowerbed by Imaginary Authors

We’re taking an unexpected turn now. This is now a change from the rose focused perfumes on this list, however I have kept it true and consistent with this still being a floral. I have decided on this one after debating the many other directions I could have gone in because it reads very Margaery to me. Imaginary Authors is a cruelty free brand that takes their inspiration from stories and authors, hence the name. If you are a book lover or you want something cruelty free, I recommend giving this brand a try, they have many unique perfumes and all of them have an interesting story to tell. Margaery is a clever and well read or well informed lady, and we need a perfume that is as clever as she is. So my choice was this. Foxes are quite stereotypically known to be sly, and clever and they are basically the living breathing form of “working smarter and not harder”. Being the cunning beauty that she is, if this perfume isn’t Margaery, I don't really know what is. The fact that it’s called “Fox in the flowerbed” is almost alluding to hiding behind an innocent mask of sorts, in this case the flowerbed being the mask and the fox being the wearer. Kind of like the “Wolf in sheep’s clothing” idiom. I also like how the bottle is this baby blue and looks very happy and bright. We often use colour to portray character and mood, especially in media. The villain often sporting darker colour palettes in opposition to the hero etc. Margaery’s signature colour is a light blue or some shade of a green which not only match the branding of the house of Tyrell, but also these colours are non threatening, which you would want to appear as, especially when manipulating the shit out of a house as domineering and powerful as house Lannister. Which brings me to the scent and the notes, this perfume is very airy. The juice smells just as “innocent” as the bottle looks. I’d describe it as a bright dirty perfume. Happy and bright yet very earthy in quality. The Jasmine gives it this dirty edge but not in an unpleasant way, more of in a natural way. The honey and pink pepper notes really sweeten and brighten this fragrance. There are also very green notes, thistle being one of them and the tulip which is a floral that leans quite green and fresh when compared to other flowers. We also have a frankincense note in here, it adds a sort of mystery to it (I love me a good Olibanum note.) especially when in contrast to the unique mountain air note in here that provides to it a crisp freshness. This perfume is both bright and calm. Can I describe a perfume as ambiverted? Haha, it’s strange because it has the perfect balance of bright and serene notes. It can calm you and uplift you. This is for the girl who wants to be perceived as innocent but can play dirty, and I think this description is Margaery to a T. This fragrance isn’t heavy or overwhelming at all, don’t let that jasmine note fool you. It is actually very light and can be an everyday fragrance. It’s airy and floral, I'd describe it as earthy air in a bottle. Very refreshing and pleasant.

EYES: emerald green

FACECLAIM: lena headey

C A N O N D I V E R G E N C I E S :

cw: mentions of inc*st

taking it out completely would change the entire course of the whole series, but i am taking out cersei’s continual interest in incest. after being away from jaime when he’s captured by the stark army, cersei has time to think about her actions and what they have or could cost her and her family, and realizes that the only reason she was interested in jaime in that way is because he was the only person she trusted. she has since learned to separate trust and romance/lust. she still tests her new perspective with her cousin, lancel, but is disgusted with herself afterward not only because of the incest, but her true sexuality.

cersei has always been told that what is expected of her is to marry a highborn lord, prince, or king and have his children, and therefore she put all of her efforts into achieving that. however, from as early as her preteen years, cersei has had a vested interest in other women in a romantic way. she was in love with her childhood best friend for a very long time until she was sent off to marry robert baratheon, and her friend was also sent away from lannisport to marry a lord. cersei has since bed whores from time to time, without anyone knowing except her siblings. she is not romantically or sexually attracted to men at all, she only forces herself to act like it in order to keep up appearances.

instead of being promised to loras, cersei is promised to margaery and loras’s cousin tobias tyrell. when the tyrells come to king’s landing, cersei immediately tries to bed tobias to secure her spot at his side, but he – like her – is gay and does not adhere to her advances. tobias instead catches the attention of her brother niklaus, while tobias’s sister desdemona catches cersei’s attention. cersei and desdemona become close in a matter of a few weeks, and are consistently sleeping together in secret. tobias, tyrion, margaery and niklaus are the only ones that know about cersei and desdemona.

desdemona is betrothed to niklaus while tobias is betrothed to cersei. niklaus also attempts to bed his betrothed when the tyrells arrive in king’s landing, and he succeeds only once until tobias catches his attention. a few weeks later, desdemona is pregnant and yet still unmarried, as klaus refuses to marry her. cersei devises multiple plans for the baby, all of which include her taking it for her own and saying it belongs to tobias. when desdemona starts showing, cersei keeps her locked away in the red keep as well as herself for the duration of the pregnancy. she pays or threatens the castle guard and staff to keep it quiet, and by the time the child is born, ravens are sent out to congratulate cersei and tobias on a secret wedding that never happened, and a new baby.

cersei and desdemona name the baby girl liliyana, and while she is technically niklaus’s child and cersei allows him to know her, she fully views herself and desdemona as lily’s parents. when niklaus flees king’s landing with tobias and hope to join tyrion in essos, he does not dare attempt to take lily with him. cersei would kill him.

in relation to her imprisonment and public shaming by the church, it is still canon that lancel is the one that outs their night together, but he also outs her relationship with desdemona. cersei offers herself to the church in exchange for keeping desdemona’s life and title safe. desdemona’s reputation is not harmed and she is able to stay in the red keep, but cersei is still imprisoned in the church for a time and only returns to the red keep by her walk of shame through king’s landing.

when cersei takes the iron throne after tommen’s death, she names desdemona her hand of the queen and liliyana as her heir. by this point, desdemona has had another child (through jaime) that cersei claims as theirs. she is named joanna lannister ii.

as far as season 8 goes, jaime still comes back to help cersei escape with her life (because he believes daenerys will kill her), but only as her brother; this is the last time she sees jaime, niklaus, and tyrion for several years. she and desdemona are banished from westeros with lily and joanna, and they go to essos to live out their lives together. after around 7-8 years, daenerys grants cersei and desdemona pardon and they return to westeros to live in the red keep as family of daenerys's court.

Four ships:

willow rosenberg/tara maclay. they are in fact the intensity that rotted my brain when i was twelve years old

cassandra/andromache (yes that would be the trojan prophetess and her "archetype of the dutiful woman" sister-in-law). i am the only person who ships this, i only ship them because of a throwaway line from a middlegrade retelling of cassandra's shit life about her being vaguely annoyed by andromache and i have thought about them every day for the past four years. i am absolutely in the wrong for this and i have no desire to be right.

cersei lannister/margaery tyrell. i have not watched got in years, but this was a lane i was willing to die on when i was 13, and i was in rarepair HELL. in many ways i like to think of them as foreshadowing the rhaenicent truthing we're seeing now, and i like to think of all the rhaenicent content as my positive karma for my unwavering devotion to my silly silly adolescent ship

O trágico fim de Margaery: a rainha da torre e seus paralelos com Helaena

Trago aqui mais um texto de paralelos de minha autoria: Margaery e Helaena, ambas amadas rainhas, ambas filhas de uma mãe Hightower, ambas com com senso de moda puxado para o verde... e ambas podem ter o mesmo destino cruel.

O texto não contará apenas com paralelos entre Helaena, mas com outras mulheres, como Alicent.

Texto disponível no meu blog:

Bom, vamos ao blá-blá-blá:

Margaery de Bella Bergolts

No meu post sobre a Cersei, eu mencionei de forma rápida uma possível comparação entre Margaery e Helaena: sua possível morte e como isso afetará na futura queda de Cersei.

Margaery é um figura interessante nos livros (principalmente quando comparamos as suas diferenças narrativas com sua adaptação audiovisual); nós temos sua presença sendo vista e interpretada por vários pov's (sendo os mais comuns e marcantes os de Sansa e Cersei), mas sempre existem dúvidas sobre suas reais intenções. Não sabemos o quanto suas intenções são ambiciosas ou não; nem o quanto ela realmente está envolvida em uma trama ou não. A vida de Margy é um mistério.

Helaena é um caso diferenciado: não temos pov dela e nem de ninguém em Fire and Blood. As atitudes da rainha não são muito destacadas e nem avaliadas/interpretadas por outras pessoas (com exceção do Meistre que narra o livro que dá pouco destaque para a pobre Targaryen). Isso faz com tenhamos ainda base menos para analisar a personagem... Mas vamos tentar.

Sabemos que tanto Helaena quanto Margaery eram rainhas amadas pelo povo comum. Não temos tantos detalhes sobre as atividades de Helaena quanto temos da jovem Tyrell; mas, pela personalidade encantadora da Targaryen, podemos presumir que ela tinha muita empatia em seu coração e deve ter sido guiada por sua mãe, Alicent, nessa "arte" política (devemos lembrar que agradar ao povo não é só um gesto de carinho, mas também de política: os plebeus são a base para se manter um governo, se eles se revoltarem contra você, seu poder pode estar perdido).

Margaery também segue essa tática política. Não sabemos até onde ela realmente gosta do povo e onde é apenas um controle de imagem por parte dela, mas sabemos que ela se esforça para dar atenção ao povo de Porto Real:

"Outras vezes levava a comitiva para a outra margem do rio, para passar uma tarde a fazer falcoaria. A pequena rainha gostava também de sair de barco, velejando para cima e para baixo ao longo da Torrente da Água Negra sem nenhum objetivo em particular. Quando estava a sentir-se piedosa, deixava o castelo para ir rezar ao Septo de Baelor. Dava freguesia a uma dúzia de costureiras diferentes, era bem conhecida entre os ourives da cidade, e até visitara o mercado de peixe perto do Portão da Lama para dar uma olhadela à captura do dia. Onde quer que fosse, o povo adulava-a, e a Senhora Margaery fazia o que podia para alimentar o seu ardor. Andava sempre a dar esmolas a pedintes, a comprar tortas quentes nas carroças dos pasteleiros, e a refrear o cavalo para falar com mercadores comuns."

-Cersei, AFFC.

Margy sabe a importância do que faz. Não foi à toa que Joffrey voltou a cair nos braços do povo depois de tanto ódio entre as duas partes: Margaery e os Tyrell davam comida ao povo, dinheiro e atenção. Isso fez com que o povo "perdoasse" Joff: Margaery os protegia, dando segurança e carinho que eles nunca tiveram. Se para ter isso eles tivessem que perdoar o cruel Rei, que fosse.

Alicent Hightower também era popular entre a plebe, por mais que isso não seja muito citado e/ou lembrado, tal qual Margaery, não sabemos o quanto a Rainha se importava com o pequeno povo em Porto Real; mas a tática disso é a mesma: conquiste o povo e qualquer ameaça a sua pessoa trará azar ao seu algoz. Isso não seria provado com a morte de Alicent, mas sim com a de sua amada filha.

Margaery também tem outros possíveis paralelos com Alicent; embora todos sejam um tanto nebulosos, visto que que ambas não tem capítulos de Ponto de Vista e suas atitudes sempre acabam sendo contadas e interpretadas por terceiros.

Um desses possíveis paralelos está na figura paterna das personagens e no quanto eles influenciaram na vida delas para que elas no futuro se tornassem rainhas.

No caso de Margaery, pelo que podemos dizer, Mace sempre sentiu vontade de que sua filha se casasse com um rei e lhe desse um neto que se sentaria no trono de ferro.

"A ideia de um dia ver o neto com a bunda no Trono de Ferro faz Mace inchar"

--Sansa I, ASOS

Mas a ambição de Mace se iniciou muito antes de casar a filha com Joffrey ou Renly; o lorde Tyrell já tinha planos de casar Margaery com o próprio Robert.

"Alguns dias antes, ele o tinha chamado de canto para lhe mostrar um requintado medalhão de ouro rosa. Lá dentro encontrava-se uma miniatura pintada no vigoroso estilo myriano, mostrando uma bela e jovem mulher com olhos de corça e uma cascata de macios cabelos castanhos.

Renly parecera ansioso por saber se a jovem lhe lembrava alguém, e ficara desapontado quando Ned não encontrou resposta melhor que um encolher de ombros. Confessara que a senhora era irmã de Loras Tyrell, Margaery, mas havia quem dissesse que se parecia com Lyanna."

Ned não percebe, mas Renly e seus amigos da Campina estavam tramando se livrar de Cersei (provavelmente eles também já sabiam da bastardia de seus filhos e pretendiam usar isso) e casar Margaery com o Rei Robert --isso logo seria confirmado lor personagens como Varys e Pycelle--, quando isso não deu certo, ele rapidamente casou sua filha com Renly.

Mace pode não ser tão esperto quanto sua mãe (ainda mais em sua adaptação em GOT, onde ele é retratado apenas como um tolo e sem ambição), o lorde de Highgarden ainda é um homem de extrema ambição e está disposto a casar a filha (que tinha apenas 14 anos na época do começo da saga) com um homem muito mais velho que ela, mesmo que a mesma não quisesse, e passar na frente de algumas vidas para isso (como Joff, Tommen e Myrcella, que seriam mortos após a descoberta do segredo).

Margaery provavelmente está apenas cumprindo seu dever para com o senhor seu pai e o seu dever como rainha. Não sabemos se ela tem realmente ambição em ser rainha (pelo menos em sua versão dos livros), mas pelo menos devia estar feliz em estar na mais alta classe social para uma mulher e orgulhar sua família.

"Margaery casará com Tommen. Manterá a sua coroa de rainha e a sua virgindade, nenhuma das quais deseja em especial"

Essa frase é dita por Petyr Baelish, não sabemos o quanto ele é confiável nessa situação, mas, pelo menos nesse momento, ela não tinha motivos para mentir para Sansa na situação em que lhe disse isso.

Do outro lado, temos Otto Hightower, pai de Alicent, um membro de uma poderosa casa da Campina e que também almejou ver sua filha virar rainha e ter um neto sentado no trono. Diferente de Mace, Otto não era um lorde e nem sequer tinha terras para herdar, tendo que criar seu próprio caminho na corte e tentar crescer na vida.

Não sabemos muito sobre a relação de pai e filha, apenas que o Mão do rei deixou Alicent para cuidar de Jaehaerys, numa provável tentativa de conseguir o máximo de destaque possível dela na corte deixá-la perto da família real.

Tal qual Margaery tem sua ambição e sua "donzelice" questionadas por vários personagens --Seus casamentos e as falsas acusações de fornicações com membros da corte--, Alicent é sempre alvo de boatos cruéis sobre já ter sido amante de Jaehaerys, Daemon e/ou Viserys I; tendo sua virgindade questionada e o quanto ela era ambiciosa para ter poder.

Todos esses comentários maldosos sobre as duas rainhas vem principalmente de seus inimigos na corte; Cersei fazendo de tudo para se livrar de sua inimiga e Cogumelo fazendo de tudo para destruir a imagem de Alicent.

Não sabemos se Otto realmente entregou sua filha ao rei, mas eu diria que o Hightower apenas queria deixá-la sempre visível para o homem recém enviuvado, o carisma de sua filha e sua proximidade com a família real deve ter a ajudado em sua conquista: Alicent poderia ter sido uma boa companhia ao triste rei; falando seu falecido e amado avô, mostrando sua inteligência e conforto ao bom e jovem Viserys e, provavelmente, se mostrando uma jovem com quem ele poderia confiar, ouvir conselhos e ser guiado na vida da corte que se seguiria após Daemon ter partido em fúria (e, é claro, ela e Rhaenyra tinham uma boa relação, o quê era ótimo para ajudar a sua filha a ter uma figura materna). Alicent era bonita, esperta, simpática e amável. Ele a queria e a teria.

Otto Hightower era um senhor de ambição, ele sabia que Alicent provavelmente teria um filho, e foi o quê aconteceu: Aegon nasceu. Agora ele só precisaria convencer o rei a deixar a sua filha de lado e proclamar o filho homem como herdeiro.

Infelizmente para Otto, o rei não iria ceder e logo, irritado pelos seus incessantes pedidos, acabou por tirá-lo do cargo. A perda do cargo fez Otto se dar por vencido... Mas sua filha não.

Alicent passou a fazer de tudo para defender os direitos de seu filho como herdeiro; atraindo lordes para a sua causa, fazendo comentários ácidos (como um "meio paralelo" para Olenna e sua língua de chicote) contra sua enteada; possivelmente assassinando Laenor; e, é claro, o famoso golpe do conselho dos verdes.

Esses atos extremos tornam Alicent distante de Margaery e um mais próxima a Cersei, mas também na rainha dos espinhos; mulheres que estariam dispostas a tudo para proteger os seus e não tinham limites para isso: Olenna matou Joffrey durante o seu casamento (quebrando o direito do hóspede) para proteger sua neta. Ela também não estava longe de ter uma grande ambição para a sua família, afinal, ela também tinha planos de casar Sansa com Willas e ampliar as terras da casa Tyrell.

Não sabemos como era exatamente a figura paterna de Otto para Alicent, mas eu chuto que seria algo mais próximo de Tywin e Cersei do que Margaery e Mace. Talvez, dependendo do período da vida da jovem Hightower, seu pai, assim como o de Cersei, lhe cobrava para que ela fizesse de tudo para convencer Viserys a seguir os planos que ele tinha em mente.

No fim da vida, tudo que Alicent conquistou se perdeu; seus filhos, seus netos, seu irmão, seu pai... A tristeza e luto logo tomaram conta de seu ser e ela logo se viu perdida em dor e delírio. A rainha viúva foi levada para a fortaleza onde viveria na insanidade até que a praga de inverno lhe tirasse a vida, naquela altura, poderia ser dito como uma misericórdia.

Voltando para Helaena, a amada rainha dos verdes também foi levada a loucura pelos eventos que se seguiram em sua vida: obrigada a escolher qual filho ia morrer, vendo Jaehaerys sendo decapitado e Maelor sendo morto por um grupo de plebeus na Campina; a filha de Alicent perdeu o brilho de sua vida. Ela se tornou uma mulher triste e solitária, incapaz de cuidar sequer de si mesma, se afundando em uma espiral de depressão e insanidade. Somente após sucumbir a praga do inverno o seu sofrimento teve um fim.

Helaena nunca fez mal a ninguém durante toda a sua vida. Ela era na verdade uma das poucas almas inocentes em ASOIAF; ela cumpriu seu dever como Targaryen-Hightower e se casou com seu irmão aos 14 anos (um relacionamento complicado, visto que seu irmão estava sempre "na farra", envolto de prostitutas e bebidas), pariu seus três filhos e fez o que pode para cuidar do povo de Porto Real durante toda a sua vida. É trágico pensar que ela foi obrigada a ver todas as consequências dos atos de sua família se voltarem contra ela e seus filhos de forma injusta.

No fim de tudo, um tempo após perder seu filho Maelor, Helaena decide por fim em sua agonia e se joga de sua torre, atingindo os espinhos da fortaleza e acabando com toda a sua dor. Um triste fim para uma triste rainha.

A morte de Helaena tem semelhanças com a personagem da Ophelia em Hamlet; uma triste jovem que após a perda de seu pai, brutalmente assassinado pelo homem que ela amava, a fez perder a sanidade.

Em uma ironia interessante de narrativas, a loucura de Ophelia e Helaena as levam a enfrentar a terrível realidade de suas vidas. O mesmo surto psicológico que as afundou em depressão e delírio fez com que as duas percebessem que já não valia mais a pena viver em um reino podre onde estavam cercadas de pessoas cruéis.

Entre ser e não ser, ambas escolheram não ser e deixaram o terror de suas vidas para trás.

A tragédia de Helaena também é uma referência a Rapunzel e ao princípe dela: a jovem princesa é aprisionada em uma alta torre em exilio, não por seus pecados, mas pelos pecados de sua mãe e de seu pai, pois ambos pegaram as verduras de uma bruxa e isso teve uma grande consequência na filha deles: presa em uma torre e afastada do mundo. Não é culpa das jovens mulheres (ambas mães de gêmeos) que seus parentes tenham errado, mas elas teriam de sofrer as consequências por atos que não eram seus.

Quanto ao princípe do conto, sua falha tentativa de suicídio é parecida com o de Helaena:

"Quando o príncipe chega à torre naquela noite e diz: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Solte o cabelo!', a bruxa joga os cabelos cortados de Rapunzel e o príncipe sobe devidamente na torre - apenas para ser recebido pela bruxa feia em vez de sua bela futura noiva. Vendo que sua amada foi tirada dele, o príncipe se atira da torre em sua dor. Ele sobrevive à queda, mas pousa em alguns espinhos que o cegam."

-Fonte.

O suicídio de Helaena acabou por trazer consequências para sua irmã mais velha.

Rhaenyra já havia irritado o povo da Capital e a fé ao extremo, a morte da amada rainha deles foi a gota d'água para eles; instigados pelos rumores de Larys Strong, o povo acreditou que a rainha dos negros matou a rainha dos verdes. Isso resultou numa revolta total e os plebeus acabaram por matar todos os dragões que estavam na Capital. O filho de Rhaenyra acabou por morrer no ataque.

Margaery pode seguir um rumo parecido com o de Helaena e Alicent: com a volta de Cersei ao poder e a Campina atacada pelos Tyrell (e provavelmente com alguns aliados se voltando para Griff), a pequena rosa estará sozinha na corte de Porto Real, com apenas suas primas como companhia.

É muito provável que o pai de Margaery morra após seu exército se chocar contra Griff. As mortes que acontecerem nessa batalha, somado as traições dos "amigos na Campina" de Griff e a campanha de Euron atacando a Campina, diminui drasticamente o número do exército Tyrell na Capital e a defesa dela.

Isso compromete ainda mais a segurança de Margy e suas primas, deixando-as totalmente a mercê de Cersei --Que estará terrivelmente irritada com os "fracassos" da Campina em lhe dar apoio. Margaery e suas companheiras, como é típico de muitas mulheres da obra de Martin (como Sansa, Arianne ou até Helaena e Alicent) provavelmente irão ficar trancadas numa das torres da fortaleza. Talvez com Cersei só deixando Margy (com ou sem suas primas) sair para reuniões na sala do trono e talvez para humilha-lá de alguma forma, caso sua fúria esteja fora de controle e ela decida que deve castigar as Jovens Tyrell em seu poder para convencer Willas e Garlan a se unirem contra a ameaça Targaryen (e, é claro, ela já acha que Margaery é culpada pela morte de Joff e pode culpa-lá por algum problema que enfrentar na corte).

Além de seu pai, o irmão de Margy, Loras, muito provavelmente não irá viver muito no sexto livro, dado que seu estado é grave. Não sabemos se outros parentes de Margaery terão o mesmo destino; Martin confirmou que Garlan e Willas serão importantes nos próximos livros, mas não sabemos se Olenna ou Alerie Hightower irão sobreviver ao sexto, ou mesmo a própria Margaery e as suas primas.

Eu, particularmente, não dúvido que Cersei maltrate e até mate algumas --ou até todas-- primas de Margy, visto que ela e Qyburn (que serão uma versão de Maegor e Tyanna da Torre) estão acostumados em maltratar mulheres inocentes e em infligir dor em seus rivais. Cersei, por exemplo, tem um grande gosto por destruir mulheres, machucar as primas de Margy não só daria vazão à esses sentimentos cruéis como atingiria a própria Margaery emocionalmente.

(Teremos Cersei obrigando a filha de Mace escolher qual prima iria ser morta numa versão macabra de Sangue e Queijo? Talvez não, mas Cersei está quase nesse nível.)

Não sabemos se assim como Helaena e Alicent a jovem Tyrell irá sucumbir a dor e ao lutos após tantas perdas e traumas e ficar insana como as outras duas rainhas. A única coisa que podemos ter certeza que a jovem Tyrell estará nas mãos de uma cruel rainha e a sua vida corre grave risco.

Quanto as suas primas, podemos apenas especular: se a sobrevivência de Margaery já é duvidosa, a de suas primas é pior ainda; elas não estão casadas com o rei, não são irmãs/filhas de um grande lorde, e ainda são muito mais jovens e inocentes que Margy...

Cersei já quase usou Ilyn Payne para matar todas as mulheres da corte no segundo livro; caso Stannis ganhasse, nenhuma mulher (fosse nobre ou não; jovem ou não) deveria sobreviver.

Para a sorte delas, Stannis perdeu e não tomou a Capital. Isso, porém, não impede Cersei de tentar de novo: com Griff tomando o terreno e a revolta tomando conta, Cersei pode tentar a mesma estratégia e isso matar Margaery e/ou suas primas (se todas já não estiverem mortas). Ela deve tentar usar Fogovivo, tal qual Aerys II, mas provavelmente irá fracassar.

Se Margaery e/ou suas primas escaparem dessa tentativa de destruição em Massa de Cersei, elas estarão a salvo (por enquanto).

A possível morte de Margaery:

Não temos certeza se Margaery irá sobreviver a nova regência de Cersei, mas, se considerarmos seus possível paralelo com Helaena e todo o perigo a sua volta, as chances são bem poucas.

É bem possível que Margaery morra no sexto livro, e sua morte teria as mesmas consequências da de Helaena: a revolta do povo num ato final que iria desestabilizar de vez o frágil e instável reinado de sua rival, sendo a sua ruína.

A pergunta é: como Margaery Tyrell morrerá?

É realmente possível que Margaery decida se matar no sexto livro? Sim, devido aos traumas e estresses que ela terá de enfrentar, não é realmente uma surpresa que Margaery decida acabar com a própria vida.

É isso que realmente vai acontecer? Sinceramente? Acho que não...

Como já mencionei em meu outro texto sobre a Helaena, é possível que Larys Strong tenha matado a filha de Alicent Hightower: ele tirou proveito de seu frágil estado mental e usou sua morte para espalhar boatos de que Rhaenyra teria matado sua "amada irmã" e usou esses murmúrios para atiçar mais o povo revoltado contra ela.

Isso não ajudou apenas o Pastor a incitar o povo, mas também um falso pretendente de Larys ao trono: Trystane Truefyre, um falso bastardo do Rei Viserys I, e escudeiro de Sor Perkin, o Pulga, um aliado de Larys. Os rumores de Pé torto ajudaram o pretendente dele a conquistar o trono e retirar Rhaenyra do poder.

Talvez Varys siga o mesmo caminho: assim como ele fez com Kevan, ele pode decidir matar Margaery. Isso seria a gota d'água para Cersei; o povo ama a filha de Mace Tyrell, jamais suportariam que alguém lhe fizesse mal, se acreditassem que a Rainha Lannister lhe tirou a vida, já não teriam o porque sequer suportar Cersei: eles aceitaram Joffrey por amor a Margaery, eles podem até fazer o mesmo com a mãe dele (que estaria caminhando em gelo mais fino a essa altura) se ela não machucasse a jovem Tyrell... Mas, se acreditarem que Cersei realmente a matou, é golpe final para ela.

Isso faria com que a morte de Margaery fosse um paralelo não só com Helaena, mas também com a filha dela, Jaehaera, jogada da torre e morrendo mos espinhos do fosso, tal qual sua mãe.

(Na verdade, Talvez Jaehaera realmente tenha se matado após sofrer tantas perdas na família --Mas isso pode ter passado desapercebido por muitos pois ela estava no espectro do autismo, o quê as pessoas em Westeros não sabem da existência; como no caso do filho mais novo do filho de Jaehaerys, Vaegon---; mas é muito mais provável que Uwin a tenha matado.)

Mas isso também faria dela um paralelo com uma outra mulher Hightower além de Alicent: Ceryse Hightower, a primeira esposa de Maegor I, o cruel.

Ceryse já era uma mulher mais velha do Margaery quando morreu de uma subita doença (devemos lembrar que ela era uma década mais velha que Maegor quando eles se casaram, tendo ele 13 e ela 23); mas isso não impediu que a corte comentasse que seu marido o rei a tivesse matado (afinal, ele faria o mesmo com as suas outras esposas) e isso fez piorar as revoltas contra ele, pois ele matou sua primeira esposa --E, de certa forma, a única legitima ao olhar da fé.

Não sabemos com certeza absoluta se Margaery será realmente morta no sexto livro, mas parece que suas chances de sobrevivência (e as de suas primas) parecem pequenas até o momento, e a expectativa é que piore. Se ela sobreviver, pode ter um papel de refém na corte de Griff e Arianne, mas estará em mais segurança (embora talvez ela esteja com o psicológico abalado) do que com que Cersei e dificilmente eles teriam motivos para lhe fazer mal algum... Pelo menos até Daenerys chegar, mas isso é assunto para outro texto.

E esses são os paralelos com Margaery Tyrell, uma garota esperta, mas nem de longe a víbora cruel que Cersei imagina que ela é... Para o azar da jovem rosa, é justamente por isso que seu cruel fim pode estar próximo.
