10 Problems Only Tyrion Lannister Would Understand

8. Family Parties

Family parties can be awkward occasions at the best of times, let alone when half of the people going bring their partners to the event and they turn out to be the other half of the family. The Lannisters are a messed-up bunch to say the least, and each 'occasion' would bring an entirely new set of politics to tactically manoeuvre. Cersei. She's slept with her own brother Jaime, but while he was away, she did the same with cousin Lancel, meanwhile Tywin was busy with Tyrion's Shae before his death. And what conversations can you even scrape together in that situation? The usual safe-spot of small-talk about the kids would certainly be out-of-bounds: "Ooh, Jaime, how's Myrcella doing in Dorne?" "Did Joffrey have a nice wedding?" "How's Tommen's wife doing?" Family parties wouldn't exactly be a fun time for Tyrion.
