write for the audience you want, not the one you’re afraid of

Also, if Daenerys had to absolutely die, I wanted a grander exit for her.

I wanted the walls and the very grounds of the Red Keep to begin quaking.

I wanted Drogon’s wail to be so anguished and loud, a shot of everyone covering their ears in terror would have sufficed. It should have been a wail loud enough to reach the shores of Valyria and to have it tremble in response to the death of the last of their own.

I wanted the ghosts of her ancestors - Aegon the Conqueror, Visenya, Rhaenys, Jaehaerys, Alysanne, hell even her mad father Aerys, her dear mother Rhaella, her brothers Rhaeger and Viserys - to weep for the last of their own.

Her blood was spilled on the legacy they built, and her death should have been ‘celebrated’ in kind even if it all came down to ashes.

She was Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.

Long may she reign forever in our hearts.

“But I have seen / tails of mermaids glittering through the sea.”

Not wanting a relationship to avoid a breakup is like not wanting to live to avoid death.

Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.

You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.

Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.
