They'd look better with curly hair, and Tyrion with his black eye. Otherwise, THIS IS WONDERFUL :love:, zenzmurfy!!! Like many others in the comments, my favourite bit is child Tyrion 2015YupiANanEmote006 !!! He isn't pretty, but oh-so-kawaii!!! If this weren't a picture, we'd want to reach into the screen and give a bear's hug to that little jewel Free Choc Heart Icon!!!!


PS 1: A most powerful, cunning and ruthless lord had 3 kids. The eldest he didn't really care about, the second he idolized as a perfect heir, and the little one he hated with passion. The father held insane expectations for them (specially the middle one), which they largely failed to meet, earning his disappointment. Obsessed as he was with his family, he gave his kids no affection (which he never gave to anyone save his late wife). The 3 children accustomed themselves to enduring his cold shadow.


The cruel daughter was another powerful courtier who thought herself a worthy heir to her mighty sire, but she overestimated her intelligence, and could never hope to match his strategic genius. The 1st boy was a brilliant fighter, and sharing some of his papa's ability for war. Yet he never cared for his family legacy, and refused to play the part of the desired heir.


But the biggest thorn for this proud lord was his baby boy. Ugly, he was mocked for his short stature and unhidden lechery. For countless reasons, his progenitor hated him, and the latter's ill treatment earned his own hatred in turn. And yet, the son shared his insight, strategic thinking, and cleverness. He was also capable of mercy and self-criticism, unlike his sire. Though not as impeccable, the child proved another efficient administrator. When given a few months of national rule, he more than proved his potential. BUT the lord never forgot his loathing of his youngest, and with that injustice he eventually turned him into a family enemy, and his own murderer during a brief moment he let his guard down.


Once, the lord's clever sister had pointed to him that his despised youngest was his worthiest heir, and he ignored her for half a year in his fury; likely the worst part for him was that deep down he suspected that she was 100% correct (which she was).


PS 2: Pardon me for my neverending writing 😅.
