saw a post about how rhaegar was the best-placed person to stand up to aerys and how he failed, and now i have brainworms about it.
because he was (short of… well, robert, it turns out), and he did fail. he was too weak when it counted to ultimately save his wife and children. there are no heroes. grand designs always fail at the level of a man. and men are weak and fallible.
(side note: not anti-rhaegar. clown on this post at your peril.)
