Indeed. Of course Lysa was batshit crazy (in her own way but just as much as Cersei). Sweet Robin is sort of a tragic figure because it seems like nature and nurture combined to ruin him (after all the Arryn line is all but dying out and I suspect that Lysa was messed up biologically from the moontea or something else... I mean there were a lot of miscarriages). Also I honestly think Joffery's being a jerk is nature as well as nurture, because he strikes me as kind of just having been a bad seed to begin with... since Tommen and Myrcella seem like such totally sweet kids (and I mourn for them all the time).
Yes I love the incongruity of appearance and meaning in that icon so much.
