Fantasy is Magic

antis really saw Young Griff and made him their avatar and disposable narrative tool in their delusional fight against Daenerys. The amount of cocky fanon clownery:

People legitimately canonize their own plots and HCs ft. him, thick enough to fill out TWoW and ADoS, and have the audacity to expect others to do the same.

Tyrion can literally name him a green boy, compare him to fucking Joffrey, be used as camera characters to show us how spoiled and sheltered (x) and arrogant (x) he is, and Varys's tale will still be taken at face value. A notorious liar, who dgaf about realm and has set multiple wars into actions, suddenly becomes an advocate for the people for their HC of Young Griff as the perfect Ruler only to despite Daenerys, cause that would be so sUbvErsIve.

It's enough for people to obsessively hate Rhaegar Targaryen for being one of many to speculated about the prophecy of Azor Ahai Reborn and wholeheartedly proclaim that Rhaegar was mad (as bad as Aerys) and has abducted and used Lyanna as incubator because of his "obsession" with said prophecy.

Despite both ideas not being backed up by the source material; i) Rhaegar is remembered fondly, capable and worthy (x, x, x, x, x, x, x) and "would have been a fine[r] king". ii) Rhaegar's "abduction" of Lyanna was even in-verse known to be motivated by (romantic) love, not because he believed her to be a part of the prophecy. (x, x, x, x) iii) Rhaegar believed the prophecy has already been fulfilled in his son with Elia Martell (x, x,)

Besides this, Rhaegar even had valid reasons (at least more than Stannis Baratheon ever had) to believe he could indeed be Azor Ahai; he was born amidst salt and smoke, it was prophesied that Azor Ahai Reborn will come forth from Aerys II and Rhaella's line (and for the longest time he seemed to be their only child to reach adulthood) he was the trueborn, rightful Lord of Dragonstone, "the place of salt and smoke" and dragons.

What takes the cake however, is their unironically projection of a character's flaw onto another, one that is designed to serve as a foil* and their refusal to apply the same moral belief system to all characters; they do not condemn Stannis Baratheon for his obsession with him as Azor Ahai Reborn and will use Jon Snow's parentage as proof that he is indeed Azor Ahai, using and validating the very same thought process they accuse Rhaegar of and condemn him for.

(*Stannis is a foil to Daenerys, and thus indirectly to Rhaegar, since Dany is constantly compared to him)

So while Stannis Baratheon can want to burn his child nephew, actually burn his uncle-in-law, consider burning newborn babes (x, x, x), loyal men (x, x, x) and will apparently burn his own daughter all for the sake of 'his duty' (x, x, x, x,) they will still proclaimed him as TKwC, The Best Man to Rule, while condemn Rhaegar and Daenerys Targaryen, mostly for sins they did not commit, but Stannis did; burning people and commit(/consider) atrocities with the excuse of being "The Chosen One" and it all being for "The Greater Good".

To compare the books to show how peculiar marriages (to form and/or strengthen alliances) are to politics: Book!Daenerys is flooded with proposals and suitors since every man (no matter status or age) believes TMoD should be his wife, make him king, and give him "many strong sons." book!Rhaenyra was the crown princess of House Targaryen at its peak of power and had already promised Laenor Velaryon, yet she was proposed to by all kinds of men. Even by Forrest Frey. A man who was not even the firstborn son and who came from a house way too minor to be even considered!

To mention only a few plots and alliances, that have been/are built upon marriages: Catelyn and Brandon/Eddard, Alys and Signor, Maegaery & (Robert)/Renly/Joffrey/Tommen, Sansa and Joffrey/Loras/Willas/Tyrion/SweetRobin/Harry, Daenerys and Viserys/Drogo/FAegon/Hizdahr/Quentyn/Victorian/Euron, Arya and Elmar/Ramsay, Robb and female!Frey/Jeyne Westerling, Cersei and Robert/Balon/Oberyn/Willas, Jaime and Lysa, Lysa and Jon Arryn/Petyr, Arianne and Viserys, Roose Bolton and Walda Frey.

It's astonishing how GoT had the two most prominent monarchs of the story, young, heirless, and unmarried not receive marriage proposals left and right from enemies and allies alike! Although it would have made the lack of a JONERYS!wedding even more illogical.

I really look forward to seeing Daenerys and Jon, respectively, showered with marriage proposals from enemies, allies, and neutral and unfit parties alike when she arrives in Westeros and he succeeds as KitN! Generally, I will welcome them being a thing and involving other characters as well, such as Tyrion, Arya, Arianne, etc.
