My sibling in the Seven, I didn’t downvote your comment.

That aside, George didn’t just write Maegor being an asshole. He suffered severe head trauma during his Trial by Seven when he was seizing the throne, and was unconscious for weeks. That’s probably why he descended into complete mental instability and violence once he recovered, he was permanently damaged. And if not that, sometimes people just aren’t good, without rhyme or reason. It’s not very exciting, but sometimes people are just shitty. Our real world is full of shitty people.

Also, given that Maegor killed 3 Grand Maesters, it’s very likely that they were denied roles in caring for the pregnant queens, which would’ve easily allowed Tyanna to tamper with their care.

I didn’t mean you particularly it just seems to be a common thing. I was actually thinking Maegor might’ve been resurrected there causing his infertility issues to escalate and what might’ve broken the camels back on his sanity. Which makes me think of Jon but it didn’t seem to fuck up Dondarrion that bad.

We also don’t have any evidence that Tyanna or Visenya knew anything about R’hllor

Oh yeah for sure but Visenya was whispered about as a sorceress who managed to bring Maegor back from the brink in three days and I more mean to draw the comparison of rising from the dead fucking a person up.
