If you re-record a VHS tape once, it’ll probably look just as good as the first recording.

If you reuse the same tape over and over again it starts to get wonky.

"For House Targaryen, the ideal marriage was brother-to-sister, or failing that, marrying close kin such as cousins, uncles, or nieces. This practice preserved the "blood of the dragon," "

Imma say this meme hits the nail on the head there

Heavily depends on when in the timeline you're looking at. They had stopped the sibling boinking for a good while by the time A Game of Thrones starts.

Her parents and grandparents were both siblings were they not? The only way she could have gotten more inbred was if she was a daughter of twins lol

Were they? I though they stopped that a few centuries previously due to pressure from the church.

Her parents were the mad king and his sister wife Rhaella. Who bore 8 kids, 3 made it to "adults". The first being Rhaegar. The biological father of Jon Snow. Meaning the two main characters who were aunt/nephew, fucked and Jon's kids could have been his cousins if she had gotten pregnant
