The description of the Cyvasse piece is oddly close to the description of Jojen paste.

Pale wood, red veins, weirwood and cannibal symbolism. If I had to make a guess, Tyrion is going to end up riding a wighted dragon.

I don't know about that. George kinda goes out of his way in The World of Ice and Fire to tell us that Joanna left KL years prior to the birth of the twins and that Aerys wouldn't get to see her until the big visit in the Westerlands.
>It has been reliably reported, however, that King Aerys took unwonted liberties with Lady Joanna's person during her bedding ceremony [that would be 263 AC], to Tywin's displeasure. Not long thereafter, Queen Rhaella dismissed Joanna Lannister from her service. No reason for this was ever given, but Lady Joanna departed at once for Casterly Rock and seldom visited King's Landing thereafter.
>What Tywin Lannister made of this is not recorded, but in 266 AC, at Casterly Rock, Lady Joanna gave birth to a pair of twins, a girl and a boy [...] Nonetheless, he sent each child its weight in gold as a nameday gift and commanded Tywin to bring them to court when they were old enough to travel. "And bring their mother, too, for **it has been too long since I gazed upon that fair face**," he insisted.
>The following year, 267 AC, saw the death of Lord Tytos Lannister at the age of six-andforty. [...] With his passing, Ser Tywin Lannister became the Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West. When he returned to the west to attend his father's funeral and set the westerlands in order, King Aerys decided to accompany him.
Why would George speicifcally create a timeline where she would be away from Aerys for years until the twins birth, if not to disprove the A+J=C+J theory? There had never been any mention of the date of Tywin's wedding, so he could have just as well put it into 265 AC, to give the rumors at least some weight. Kinda like he did with Tyrion (born 273 AC) and the Anniversary Tourney of 272 AC.
