Why is Marcus so smol and floofy?

The need to chew her up and shake her like a dog toy is overwhelming.

Is Geamon going to inherit anything from Aegon? Or can Aegon even legally leave him anything to inherit or give him a title or something? I’m not exactly sure how such things are handled in Westeros. (little sunshine better snatch himself some flying lizard to be safe)

Well, our bby, our little sunshine ball, the sweetest bby ever has one teeny tiny problem: Aegon can't really technically claim him as his own in the current political climate. It's safer for him to be proclaimed a son of a lyseni oarsman (who apparently had the money to visit a brothel frequented by royalty, i guess they get paid really well on those ships), even though anything with eyes can see that Aegon and Gaemon are pretty much clones. Right now, Aegon has claimed Gaemon as his ward. The fact that the kid calls him papa earns them a few raised brows, but as long as he's never publicly declared to be his son, let alone legitimised, Gaemon can't cause problems for the legitimate children or Aegon and Baela (or problems can't be caused in his name).

I don't think Aegon can give the kid any holding of his own. We've discussed this with @gwenllian-in-the-abbey and we both agree there is literally no land under the king's direct control that he can give away. Targaryens might be rich in influence, but they're relatively poor in land. All they have is filtered through their vassals. Aegon I passed on the opportunity to shake up the land ownership in the fashion of William the Conqueror. Aegon II can't suddenly take away lands from his willy nilly, that opportunity was never there for him.

Now, what would he do for his son? Aegon knows how difficult it was to be a king's son when the king in question pretty much sabotaged any attempts at financial security. He might not be able to give Gaemon his name or a holding, but he can plan for his future. And in this Gaemon isn't that much different from legitimate second sons - they all have to rely on indirect means of earning their livelihood.
