While we technically don't know exactly how he feels about RhAlicent shipping, we do have an inkling on how he feels.
You've been approval voted my friend.
Right, but negotiating the marriage won't be an instantaneous thing, and scouting out the lay of the land in advance is probably good strategy or something.Guys, we literally have anywhere between 3-5 years for the marriage thingy (so anywhere between 14- 22) turns, it won't matter if we don't take it for a couple turns...
It's not a bad plan by any means (I think I like that one second best of all the options right now behind my one), but IMO we really should talk with Gwayne, about the whole Alicent stuff. I know you want Strong to synergize with studying, but I don't think we should hold Gwayne off much longer, especially since he IS a marriage option, so we need to test out how he stands on the whole matter.[X] Plan: Marriagemaxxing and Studymaxxing With Synergy

So this gets us a lot of synergy here. We get Music to set up our new relaxation, with Study but talk to Strong in order to improve that Law Study... we look into Marriage Options at the SAME time as talking to Lord Strong which might help flesh out that possibility... and we still talk to Viserys and get to spend some time with our lady-love.
While winters can get that long, I think people put winter length a bit on the long side right now... And also, it is advantageous for ourselves as well if we marry early. It's not just a duty. And I mean, if it really is 5 years, that could make a huge difference.Guys, we literally have anywhere between 3-5 years for the marriage thingy (so anywhere between 14- 22) turns, it won't matter if we don't take it for a couple turns...
We are still in autumn though so even if the winter is short you should add a year or two on top of that..I should note that five year long winters are considered exceptionally long and brutal.
Autumn length is also variable. Seasons are weird, but the "main timeline" summer, autumn, and winter were all long.We are still in autumn though so even if the winter is short you should add a year or two on top of that..
Indeed, the Dance (in the books, show hasn't covered this) is followed by a 5 year winter that basically breaks the kingdom even more.I should note that five year long winters are considered exceptionally long and brutal.
There is not a canonical average duration, but the winters that came before the 10-year summer we have in Game of Thrones were considered short ones, and the average was 2 years each...Autumn length is also variable. Seasons are weird, but the "main timeline" summer, autumn, and winter were all long.
Its typical for a child to see multiple winters basically. I don't know if there's a canonical average duration of each season, but relying on a 5 year winter is a weird call
To speak to the merits of this plan for a moment, everything here (except speaking to Daddy about Aelora, and that exception was only because we weren't 100% sure Aelora was going to be the subject of our vision) is something we had meant to do on our Progress and were prevented from doing by its being cut short. Think of it like winding up as many loose plot threads as we can before embarking on the opportunities opened up by being back in the capital.[X] Plan Without An Exciting Name

We definitely should talk with him and he is perhaps the only one except for Alys who would believe that we had a genuine vision of the future.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Steffon Redfort
Definitely need to get this done now.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Alicent Hightower
We genuinely haven't been spending a lot of time with her recently. Time to fix that.
-[X] [Conversation] Speak with Gwayne Hightower
As the option text calls out, we need to talk with him about our relationship to Alicent. Right now. Urgently. If we can get his approval and maybe support, that changes a lot of the calculus in terms of marriage and he could become a very important ally to get his father on our side.

We got a firm deadline by Viserys and I don't think we should go the canon route and sour our relationship by ignoring it. Since the negotiations for all of this will take a while, we should get the ball rolling now.

Having an action that is both productive and reduce stress? Yes, please. That's really useful right now.
In book canon, Tyrion was born in 273, in the middle of a three-year winter. By 289 he had seen nine winters, so less than a year each on average if the redditor I'm copying and pasting can do maths right.So my estimation is that a regular winter would be around 3 years and since we are still in autumn, we should to add at least 1 year to that time...
