Don't Give Me Your Other Things About How He Had No Honor And Blah Blah Blah - Tumblr Posts
I'm not unaware that I don't like the age difference between Harwin and Rhaenyra, but now putting him on the same level as characters like Jorah, among others, is going too far. Harwin was not a father figure, Harwin was not her husband, Harwin did not have any relationship with her as a child that we know of, except for events and not even exchanged words. He never did anything and we didn't even see anything that he could have control of Rhaenyra What we truly know is that she courted her at 15 like all of Westeros at her time because she was her heir; and that he was her guard and lover when she was married and of legal age in Westeros at 17. If you want to believe Mushroom's words that he was with her at 16, when he can't even agree on how Rhaenyra spent her wedding night, good for you. If the relationship makes you uncomfortable because Harwin was at least 7 years older than perfect, it makes me uncomfortable too. But it is VERY far from being the worst of the couples in this saga for people to be condemning it now.
