Re. the question of A+J=T, Joanna was actually in King’s Landing during the anniversary tourney of 272 AC. Yes, Aerys insulted her and at this point, despite earlier whispers about her as his paramour, there’s no way she sleeps with him willingly. But with his sexual aggression it’s perfectly plausible, although clearly distasteful, that he could have raped her later, which would add another element to Tywin’s attempt to resign the next day. Not saying I believe it but it’s certainly possible

The timing only works if her trip to court happened at least three months into the year, and that’s the one time she was at court. 

But no, I don’t think it’s plausible. Otherwise, Aerys would have been dead the next day.
