First time seeing so many castle knights.

maekar targaryen. in this ancient line of kings and conquerors he's like if sam eagle from the muppets was a person. he's the son of the king yet nobody gaf enough to learn how to pronounce his name right. everyone thinks he's 50 (he's 35). he's a widower and single father to 6 kids and he cares for them deeply but he's also kind of shit at it. one day he will be king and all because he killed his brother by mistake at a little girl's 13th birthday

Maekar objecting to his father sending a 9 or 10 year old Aemon to the citadel. Maekar going out to look for Daeron and Egg himself. Maekar joining Daeron and Aerion in the Trial of Seven. Maekar using the Kingsguard in the Trial of Seven to try to protect Daeron and Aerion. Maekar offering Dunk a position in his personal guard for Egg. Maekar allowing Egg to squire for Dunk because he’s the only knight Egg will squire for. Maekar giving Egg a ring with his personal seal to protect Egg while travelling with Dunk. Maekar summoning Aemon to court to be his maester as soon as he ascended the Iron Throne… mans just really loved his sons.

Maekar foot-whipping Daeron, but also being worried sick by his disappearance and going to search for him in person.

Maekar being disdainful and rough towards Aerion in court, calling him an idiot, but also losing it when Aerion was in danger and screaming for him while fighting to reach him.

Egg saying he doesn't really know his father, but also constantly bringing up the teachings Maekar shared with him.

Maekar sitting in injured Aerion's bedroom to watch over him, but far enough away that the bed is out of his line of sight.

Egg not feeling supported by his family against Aerion's abuse, but knowing no one else will hurt him or else "they'll answer to my father".

This family makes me so ill, I'm obsessed.

if they hadn't killed the dragon in the play, this story would have been so different. Look at him, he is enthralled. He would have stayed, bought the merch, thrown cash onstage, stage-doored...
