FIRE & BLOOD

[glorytragedy]

THE GODS HAVE FASHIONED US FOR LOVE ... THAT IS OUR GREAT GLORY AND OUR GREAT TRAGEDY.

#GLORYTRAGEDY. a targaryen-focused asoiaf multi-muse. strictly book-based, and skeptical of the television adaptations.

AFFILIATES: @kaerinio

PRIMARY MUSES:

daenerys 'stormborn' targaryen [fc: sophie wilde]

rhaella targaryen [fc: jodie turner-smith]

rhaegar targaryen

SECONDARY MUSES:

helaena targaryen [fc: ruby barker]

rhaenyra targaryen [fc: wunmi mosaku]

rhaenys the conqueror [fc: jayme lawson]

TESTING MUSES:

aelora targaryen [fc: taylor russell]

daeron the good

naerys targaryen [fc: colette dalal tchantcho]

RULES.

I write and interpret the Targaryens as Black, with an emphasis on the diaspora experience and forced assimilation! This will not be "forced" on other Targaryen interpretations, but I do expect it to be respected!

due to the prevalence of incest within the family and these muses, I will not be tagging it! please note: I will be exploring and discussing the incest through the lens of the politics and social norms involved, but won't be writing it romantically.

other dead dove do not eat topics: abuse, rape, miscarriages and stillbirths, misogyny, religious trauma, and such topics that can be found within a feudalistic, heavily patriarchal society.

more tba.

since Dragonstone is on a volcanic island, I simply think the sand there should be black 😌

dealing with gross 90f weather in fucking MAY and active wasps (yellowjackets?) getting into my apartment by watching yet another emma adaptation

(we got rid of the nest immediately and i sprayed wasp killer all over the place outdoors so ................... fingers-crossed that's the last of it?)

i fucking hate this time of year and always go quiet when the weather gets warm for this reason, and i'm trying to focus on personal writing too..... so, sorry, but expect further silence until idk

Rhaegar fought valiantly. Rhaegar fought nobly. Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.

in scenarios where dany is raised by rhaegar or rhaella, in a more stable environment, i do think she'd develop a talent for music. she would never be on par with rhaegar, but she'd be equal to rhaella and enjoy plucking at a harp to think and singing while rhaegar or rhaella played something.

the martells are technically house Nymeros Martell, which no one in text has really used properly, and I realized what this reminded me of .... anyway: dorne using two surnames, formally, because they aren't a rigid patriarchy, and Baelor, Aerys, Rhaegal, Maekar, and later Rhaenys and Aegon all formally being "Nymeros Martell Targaryen" 😌

when dany steps into the pyre (the same pyre she tied mirri maz duur to), she fully intends to die, or at least is absolutely accepting that might happen. it's either death or dragons because that is the degree of desperation she's at. only death can pay for life, and dany's willingness to self-sacrifice was the final magic to birth the dragons. I've said this before ... but mirri maz duur's purpose (narratively speaking) is to brutally show dany that trying to operate within the current system, even with righteous and/or kind intentions, will not bring peace or what she is seeking because the current system is fundamentally inequal and violent and misogynistic. if dany is going to "get home", she has to break the system ... which is ultimately what the dragons represent: the dragons are equalizers (wolves, lions, stags ... dragons eat them all), transformation, etc.
