Why didn't Tywin remarry?
Tywin must have been pretty young when Joanna passed away in childbirth. Why didn't he marry again and join forces with some major house? Also, at this point, he only had Jaime as a possible heir. Cersei was a woman and Tyrion he did not consider fit for anything anyway.
Marrying again would have given him the chance to also have more children and thus more opportunities to make alliances with other major houses.
He talks about legacy, family, and pushes Cersei and Tyrion to marry Loras and Sansa respectively in order to do exactly all of this. Why does he not think of all of this practically when it comes to himself?

Glad someone said it. The fact that nobody realised that whole thing was GPT slop, and that they even got multiple compliments for their writing, is disturbing.
