The Craziest Thing A Targaryen Ever Did Might Actually Make Sense

In this video we are going to discuss the fate of one of the most obviously mad Targaryens in all of A Song of Ice and Fire history. The man who thought he was a dragon and decided to drink a jar of wildfire in order to transform himself. On its face it seems to be one of the craziest things any of the Targaryens have ever done, but when you dig a little deeper perhaps there was something more than madness behind this decision. We need to take a look at the mentions we get in the ASOIAF books about Aerion Targaryen as well as what we learn about fire magic from the Melisandre POV chapter. Listen to the evidence for this theory then let me know, what are your thoughts on the merits of drinking wildfire?
