And she said, “He killed my mother.” And she pinched your little cock so hard, I thought she might pull it off. Until your brother made her stop. “It doesn’t matter, she told us. “Everyone says he will die soon. I hope they are right. He should not have lived this long”
#I couldn’t say what sort of psychosomatic effects that would have had on him at that tender age if any#but what I do know is that tyrion is a man who has faced sexual abuse in his child hood#and he relives it unconciously or subconciously everyday#so to hear what cersei did is triggering first of all#though he may not even be aware of that#but then to hear someone like oberyn martell say what his father and sister never could has got to sting like hell#he was just a baby. a blameless baby and that is the fact#his only crime was being born#and they call him a monster for it#he’s been viewed as a burden. an ill omen. and a lesser creature by people who should have wrapped him in a fucking blanket and told the wor#he may no tbe like the rest of us but he’s still ours. he’s just a baby#and he never got that#and there are a million things we can analyze about westerosi cultural prejudices and how they shaped tywin’s thinking#and they’d all be true#but to a son. to the last and least of the lannisters that does not matter#because that was his father and his sister. and his family#and if they condemned him what chance did he ever stand in the face of other lords and ladies#it fucked him up and it’s so clear to see on his face how much it actually hurts him#I don’t care what you think about tyrion everyone deserves a kindness#most of all from people who are supposed to nurture you#especially during the most formative years of your life
