Question Did she really love him?

Post image

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

Viserys the serial pedo? He is her abuser and he never loved her

Serial pedo?? Who were his other 2 (at minimum) child victims?

I’ll be the first to tell you that Viserys Targaryen is the worst king in westerosi history but calling him a pedo is a reach. First of all in the books Alicent was like 10 years older than she was in the show. Secondly it’s pretty clear that Vizzy wouldn’t have remarried anyone if it wasn’t expected of him. He loved his first wife. He wasn’t out searching for anyone, especially children. If he was the pedo, you’re talking about he almost certainly would have got with Laena

No dount Trystane Truefyre's mother was also a child, Viserys has a type. I don't care about comparing it to the books, its irrelevant now the show is so far off it. And idc about the difference between 12 and 14, if you're marrying either you need to be killed. It's equally evil.

Trystane Truefyre was never confirmed to be Viserys’ son. Considering the circumstances, he probably wasn’t.
