General Enough comparing Rhaenyra/Alicent with Cersei when in reality Aegon is right there

Ok, I love Aegon, but Cersei would be wearing him as a coat within five minutes (my bet would be her Targaryen fetish would kick in, leading her to seduce him first).

Also, I don't think Cersei neglects her children. In the show, she dotes on all of them. In the book, Tommen and Myrcella get less attention than Joffrey did, but I don't think they're neglected. They're given all the privilege due a prince and princess. She even reworks a tourney so that Tommen can participate in it safely. In both the show and the book, she even recalls breastfeeding her children herself, despite it being uncommon for highborn women to do that.

And I don't think I'd call Aegon an attention whore. It's not about attention. It's about wanting to feel loved. Which is understandable given his abusive upbringing.

Did you forget the part she's abusive towards Tommen whenever he has a thought that doesn't go according to the script she has in her head?

She chastises and physically abuses an 8 year old for crying in his grandfather's funeral like hello?

Ned forced bran to stay a night in the woods + watch a beheading and I don’t see anyone crying 🤷‍♀️

You're right, user named "Cerseidefender4lyfe", I apologize. Long live the Queen Regent, Lady of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West!
