Description
The third day of the Tragedy of Daenerys Targaryen is about the death of queen Rhaella."Yet sometimes Dany would picture the way it had been, so often had her brother told her the stories. The midnight flight to Dragonstone, moonlight shimmering on the ship's black sails. Her brother Rhaegar battling the Usurper in the bloody waters of the Trident and dying for the woman he loved. The sack of King's Landing by the ones Viserys called the Usurper's dogs, the lords Lannister and Stark. Princess Elia of Dorne pleading for mercy as Rhaegar's heir was ripped from her breast and murdered before her eyes. The polished skulls of the last dragons staring down sightlessly from the walls of the throne room while the Kingslayer opened Father's throat with a golden sword.
She had been born on Dragonstone nine moons after their flight, while a raging summer storm threatened to rip the island fastness apart. They said that storm was terrible. The Targaryen fleet was smashed while it lay at anchor, and huge stone blocks were ripped from the parapets and sent hurtling into the wild waters of the narrow sea. Her mother had died birthing her, and for that her brother Viserys had never forgiven her."
A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R.Martin

Requiem for Rhaella Targaryen, probably the unhappiest Targaryen to ever live: barely a teenager forced to marry her brother against her will per her selfish father's command, is present at the Summerhall catastrophe giving birth while her family burns, suffers countless miscarriages and stillbirths for which Aerys blames and punishes her, she witnesses her once-dashing brother turn into a bloodthirsty deranged psycho who rapes her whenever he fries anyone, her 'perfect' boy Rhaegar starts a war and gets himself killed, after she's sent away with her little Viserys she must have learned how her grandchildren and daughter-in-law were massacred (for her, Aerys dying was merely Good Riddance) and finally she gives birth in a nightmarish storm and then dies leaving her kids alone when they're in mortal danger and need her the most. 😔😢
PS: WaterSorcerer, gotta say, those facial expressions you drew are DA SHIT !!

So great ! People love comparing Viserys to Joffrey, but honestly, Viserys has a horrible backstory, and he never had anyone to be there for him.
No one loved him and him seeing his sister be admired and loved by so many people made him feel like shit.
If I was in his position I probably wouldn't end up being a nice person, either. But Joffrey? He's just a spoiled brat.
Viserys is truly a tragic character. Daenerys said he used to be kind, and sweet. Exile and constantly running from assassins changed that. Up until the night of his death all he ever wanted was to go back the westeros and be king. That doesn't excuse his madness (like father like son) but hopefully sheds some light on it.
He is still the reason why Dany is still alive because he protected her and was her only family while she grew us.
But Dany also killed their mother when she was born so he could never look at her without remembering the live they might have had.
He hates and loves his sister, just as he hates his own weakness and powerlessness.
And that's a tragedy

I almost thought that was the death of Joanna Lannister.
