Then you double down with the idea that Cersei and Jamie are secret Targs, whereby Aerys the Mad King was their father (it's a stretch - it's not a whole lot more than he saying he wanted to bang Joanna Lannister at her wedding to Tywin, Jamie and Cersei's ultra-blond hair, and their affinity for incest), and Robert may not have been that much of a usurper afterall.

Actually Targaryens have platinum blond hair and all the Lannisters except for Tyrion have golden blond hair, not to mention lack of purple eyes. The only person in the books who is said to have practiced Primo Noce rights is Roose Bolton and you can be drat sure that if Aerys banged Joanna during the bedding ceremony it would have been a very poorly kept secret. Jaime and Cersei are not secret Targaryens, only overt douchebags.

It is kind of an ironic theme that Robert usurped the throne with military force and got usurped himself by adultery.

The show doesn't imply that she murdered the child, only that it died during its early infancy. In the books I don't think that the books ever mentioned a true born child, in fact Cersei and Jaime bang each other on Cersei's wedding night so she wouldn't be able to anticipate a black haired stag baby.

Nah he didn't care that much, he too thought that Joffrey was a dickhead.

Are you referring to that whole "Tyrion is Tywin's true son" thing? Cause she wasn't implying that Cersei and Jaime weren't Tywin's children but that Tyrion has his father's cunning, competence and ruthlessness, she even states "Tyrion is Tywin writ small", it has nothing to do with Jaime and Cersei's parentage.

If any child isn't Tywin's it is Tyrion. I know it's not a popular idea but it does fit:
Aerys was totally interested in Joanna Lannister.
Tywin and Joanna left kings landing very abruptly. The timing could fit impregnation by rape.
Tywin sent the Mountain and co to rapemurder the kings family, even knowing Jamie was a hostage.
After Genna Lannister tells Tywin that Tyrion is his true son, Tywin does not talk to her for a year.
Tywin REFUSES to let Tyrion inherit the Rock.
Then there is Tywins last words.

Tematicaly speaking, who better to have been given horns than Tywin Lannister? There's a parallel between Jamie and Tyrion, killing each others fathers for good reasons and being publicly reviled for it. And most importantly, if Tywin is not Tyrions father then he is going to escape the kinslayers curse. Comparing Theons fate to Tyrions suggests that the gods haven't cursed Tyrion quite yet.

Joanna wasn't at King's Landing since she married Tywin, she was raising Jaime and Cersei at the rock. Tywin left king's landing on the day Aerys made Jaime a knight of the kingsguard.

quote:

Then there is Tywins last words.
All of these can also be explained by the fact that Tyrion is a dwarf and a whoremonger.

quote:

Tywin sent the Mountain and co to rapemurder the kings family, even knowing Jamie was a hostage.
Tywin had stated that he was more afraid of what Jaime might do rather than what might be done to Jaime, regardless, he used subterfuge to enter King's Landing rather than overt warfare to ensure that Aerys wouldn't have the time to do something to Jaime.

quote:

Comparing Theons fate to Tyrions suggests that the gods haven't cursed Tyrion quite yet.

That makes no sense because Theon never killed his biological kin, if he was cursed for killing his foster family than it stands to reason that Tyrion will be cursed for the same reasons.

Yes, Theon killed his biological son. The son of the millers wife. The wife he used to gently caress on occasion. Without condoms.

The only point of contention you have is Joanna not being in Kings Landing and I don't recall anything that suggests she wasn't. Tywin did leave later than I recalled? But that doesn't matter Tywin is a patient man.

If you think that the golden twins are more likely to be half targ than the dude with a purple eye and some platinum hair then you are an idiot. It's either Tyrion or none of them.

wiki posted:

Joanna was a friend of the then ruling Princess of Dorne, whom she knew from her time at court when they were companions to Princess Rhaella Targaryen.[4] Her friend had two children, Oberyn and Elia, who were not yet promised in marriage, so they planned to have their children wed each other. Before this could happen, Joanna died giving birth to her third child Tyrion and the marriages did not take place.

Joanna was totally in KL available for some raping. Maybe. I don't remember seeing a good timeframe on my last read.

Joanna was raising the Twins at Casterly Rock, Cersei only moved to King's Landing after Joanna died as Tywin wanted to hitch her to Rhaegar. It's all in the books, for instance, Joanna learns about Jaime and Cersei playing naughty games with each other and changes their sleeping arrangements so that they would sleep on opposite ends of the keep. She wasn't living at King's Landing after she marries Tywin and the wedding itself was at Casterly Rock.

Did you read that paragraph? Joanna was at court long before Tyrion was born, before she was married to Tywin in fact. Her proposal to wed Jaime & Cersei to Oberyn and Elia was through the exchange of ravens when she resided in the Rock.

Tyrion doesn't have a purple eye. He has mismatched eyes of green & black. Supporters of this theory always say "Well, it could be a purple eye that is so dark, it just looks black" to rationalize this. He does have lighter blond hair than the twins, but it's never described as silvery blond like any of the Targaryens.

I like this theory; I love the thought of everyone (including Tyrion) assuming Tywin treats him like poo poo because he is a dwarf, when in fact it is because Tywin knows or strongly suspects that Tyrion is, in fact, not his son. Family pride and love for his dead wife keeps him from spilling the beans on this, and in his own way he struggles with the same issues Ned Stark struggled with in raising Jon Snow as his own.

I don't think this is the case, and Tyrion is actually Tywin's son, but it would be an awesome twist.

Theon is only 12 years older than Bran, and the miller's wife's son is old enough to be mistaken for Bran, so he's probably the same age and Theon would have had to be having sex with the miller's wife at age 11.

The Millers wife had two sons, one of which was young enough to be mistaken for Rikkon (seriously folks? How do you forget child number two?). Theon wonders if Wex, his 12 year old squire had fathered any bastards, so it's a safe bet that 12 year old Theon was getting his bone on. If you think that's unlikely I remind you who wrote the series.

One other Problem is that revealing this would be a pretty big asspull.
Not from the actual truth, but because there is absolutely nobody who could say anything about the truth.

The Rumor that John Snow is a secret Tygerrian has the same Problem, even more so.
The only people in Weseteross who could say "Hey this guy is a Tygerian", have already met John and shown no sign of recognition.

So...your theory that Theon is being punished by the gods for being a kinslayer are based on...

Theon remembering that he'd slept with the miller's wife before.
The miller is old.
The wife is "easy"

I'm not saying it's not possible that the youngest kid is Theon's, but you seem to just be grasping at every single theory that's ever been presented as if it is fact. I tend to only buy into theories that have a bit more evidence or foreshadowing to them than that. Also, I'm not really sure what sort of importance you think it would have for Theon to have killed his supposed bastard other than to rationalize the torture that he's been subjected to. It literally adds nothing to the story. The bastard never would have inherited anything, never would have been important, and Theon has already been broken mentally. Any "realization" that he'd killed his own bastard child would do nothing more than to torture him more with guilt and is completely unnecessary for character development or arc.

And stuff like this:

“Stark’s boys were never brothers to you, aye. We know.”
That was true, but it was not what Theon had meant. They were not my blood, but even so, I never harmed them. The two we killed were just some miller’s sons. Theon did not want to think about their mother. He had known the miller’s wife for years, had even bedded her. Big heavy breasts with wide dark nipples, a sweet mouth, a merry laugh. Joys that I will never taste again.

It's about as ambiguous as Theon not having a penis.
