It just occurred to me that if Tommen drops dead for whatever reason, there would be quite a mess. The Lannisters have no more males to slip on to the iron throne before the world goes to shite. Stannis is the only one left publicly claiming it (although i guess Aegon is pretty much out in the open now too - but fighting. And as far as anyone knows, Dany is missing, and still facing a huge fight for the throne (but against whom exactly if there were no Tommen?)

In reality, Stannis should have just paid a faceless man to kill joffrey, tommen, and myrcella to start it all off

then he would have no issues with the throne

now, if tommen dropped dead, i imagine the argument would be that Stannis is a traitor to the realm so he can't be king so they would try to find someone else to fill the role and be their puppet

or they would try to say myrcella is the queen because they like dornish rules all of a sudden
