Can Myrcella and Tommon "Waters" survive ?


the storm king returns

Recommended Posts

Although I am not a fan of any of the Lannisters besides Kevin and Gerrion I do have a soft spot for Cercies two youngest children, they both seem to be sweet and innocent with kind hearts and personally believe Tommon would make a great King in terme of showing effection to the small folk of Westeros. Do any of you think the two of them have a chance at surviving the series?

I think they will, Myrcella will marry Trystane Martell regardless of her being a bastard, and I think Tommon will be legitimised by the future King of Westeros because Jamie sacrifices himself for the realm and requests casterly rock go to Tommon Lannister.

Gold will be their crowns and gold their shrouds. They will probably be killed and wrapped in gold cloaks, as the Targaryen children were wrapped in Lannister cloaks.

Perhaps the city watch will turn on them to side with Aegon, and feel the need to show their loyalty the same way Tywin did at the end of Robert's Rebellion?

I hadn't considered that. The gold cloaks to cover their corpses. Sounds plausible to me...

No, I fear not.



That doomed prophecy Cersei was told when she was 10 so far has a eerily perfect track record.



She will live to see all of her children (all the bastard twincest kids she had with Jaime, plus the one trueborn son she had with Robert who died in the womb) die before her own death at the hands of her "little brother" (which, like many of you, I think is her younger twin brother Jaime, not her younger half-brother Tyrion).



This whole saga (books/tv) is so deadly unfriendly to children, isn't it? :crying:

I noted that I agree Myrcella and Tommen will not live to see the end of the series, but I believe citing prophecy is probably the feeblest reason for such belief. We're talking about the world where prophecies got subverted left and right, are too vague, are intentionally or unintentionally misleading or are simply wrong.



MMD prophesied that Dany is barren, yet most of us think she was pregnant as miscarried in her last DWD chapter. Mel beliefs that Stannis is AAR, yet it's plain she is wrong. Rhaegar thought his kids were three-headed dragon, and we all know how that turned out.



Will Maggi's prophecy turned out to be correct - I don't know. But we should not unconditionally believe it and base our predictions wrt Tommen and Myrcella around it.

As far as the gift of prophecy goes, MMD, Mel and Rhaegar all have got nothing on Maggie the Frog.

I agree that prophecies can be subverted, but in Cersei's case, the prophecy she heard wasn't much as a prophecy but as a fortune-telling and her own actions are helping to fulfil it.

When Maggy told Cersei that she would have three kids and the King, 16, that set the kids' destiny, as their existence and looks would cause what it would be known as the War of the Five Kings, and there is at least three factions already that want those kids death.

They aren't Waters. In the very remote and unlike chance that they survive and Jaime acknowledges them as his children, they would be probably Hill if he takes them with him to CR. Or Lannisters if he marries Cersei.

They are waters, since they were born in the crownlands.
