really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

you’re skittish, of course, and yet you still tilt your head. brush everything aside. give me space to clamp my jaws down on your throat. make the sweetest sounds, too. squirm not to get away but get closer. i could tear you apart. i should tear you apart. you should not be offering this so easily. itching for the slice of teeth that are too sharp. something, somehow, that soothes & delights. doesn’t send you running. why aren’t you running? you should not let me take and take and take. but you do. i could bleed you dry. and i want to. i want to feel your pulse get weaker and weaker while i drink my fill. feel you grow cold beneath me. don’t i?

(why don’t i want to?)

Daenerys is the only Targaryen ruler to have a crown shaped as the sigil of the house, the only one to have a parental relationship with multiple wild dragons, the only to have a dragon that has the same colors of the banner of her house, and the only one to become a dragon rider without the aid of crib eggs, a saddle, spells, or a dragon binder / horn.

This goes hand in hand with her being the only Targaryen to concretely deal with and confront the effects of the Valyrian empire, the only one most involved in overturning the feudal paradigm, the one most successful at reclaiming and subverting the male centric language of her house.

People can’t enjoy how Daenerys subverts any of this if they take away her Targaryen heritage… ultimately she is THEE Targaryen of the series, for 28 years she has been the only Targaryen viewpoint character and is the introduction to all the traits people love and hate about that house. People know this too, which is precisely why they use her Targaryen heritage and the history of her house to prove that she’ll go mad. Regardless, Daenerys’s heritage is a fundamental part of her, and I do not think one can claim to like her if they want to erase that part of her.

I wouldn't say it was only the Valyrian Freehold's fault, given that they learnt it from Old Ghis, but other than that you are completely correct.

DAENERYS VS. MARTIN Daenerys is a unique character. Created by Martin accidentally, but.. and not by chance. It was an accident that she turned out to be SO good and unique. But the idea has a long backstory ..

In one of his interviews, Martin stated that his dream had always been to kill a powerful woman. Just because she 's a strong and powerful woman (Daenerys is just that ) according to Martin, it is always EVIL. Precisely because she is strong and powerful. Not because of actions, not at all. Because of the strength and power.

In another interview, Martin recalled his youth, when his girlfriend left him. Since Martin couldn't imagine himself being bad, and he couldn't imagine that she just liked someone more, he was the only one who came to the conclusion. A bad girl. And since then , the leitmotif of his work is " kill a girl and stay good . " The scriptwriters of the series wrote according to Martin's sketches and "reference points " . In the books, Martin himself generously slanders almost all the female characters, as they are in the series, even conditionally "good" ones. Brienne, for example, is masculine (by the way, this is greatly softened in the series), Cersei was diligently whitewashed and washed by the scriptwriters (apparently out of sympathy for the actress), Lisa Arryn, however, was not whitewashed and almost the entire fandom hates her.

Let's recall the conversation of Tyrion (who, by the way, is a villain, he's just a well-written villain. An alcoholic, a narcissist, and an ignoramus scientist. And Martin's favorite, because Martin painted Tyrion from himself, and then from Shakespeare's portrayal of Richard III) and John. In the cell. And if you throw out all the verbal husks, Tyrion's accusation is this: she's not what we thought she was. She's not what we wanted. SHE HAS HER OWN WILL. Actually, this is exactly what John presented. A WOMAN HAS HER OWN WILL, and THAT's WHAT was presented as EVIL.

By the way, since you can't hate a fictional character, the haters actually hated and hate what's behind the character. And in the context of this article, they hate the very idea that a woman can be subjective, have HER OWN WILL, and DO THINGS HER OWN WAY.

And this is despite the fact that the scene when John picks up Daenerys, who was killed by him, is copied from Michelangelo's sculpture "Pieta", where Mary bends over Jesus in the same way, many wrote about it. That is, exactly the same scriptwriters who called Daenerys HER SATANIC MAJESTY in the script, then compared her to Jesus. Because she was already dead..

In general, all the Others, the Starks, the Lannisters, the slavers, and so on, and so on, and so on, all the dirt poured on the Targaryens, all the dirt poured on women as such, were according to Martin with one single purpose. Kill Daenerys.

However, the character turned out to be so unique, the scene was shot so tragically, and the composer dedicated almost the purest chorale and komos to Daenerys, that is, a religious chant, that literally all the viewers, except for denihaters, refused to accept Martin's idea and the script. Absolutely. By the way, a well-known petition was written after the 3rd episode of the 8th season. After the 6th, many signatories joined. A lot of fanfiction has been written in which Daenerys either resurrected/reborn, or did not die at all. And Martin, judging by his interview, was stunned. It was his finale that the audience did not accept en masse, refusing to share Martin's fixed idea.

Maybe that's why the "Winds of Winter" still won't be written? And Martin has already earned his lobsters.

DAENERYS WANTS EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE On the cover of ADWD for Brazil, I placed Daenerys at the top of the Meyering Pyramid ladder. Undoubtedly, I was unconsciously influenced by the series. And George told me that DAENERYS WANTS EQUALITY FOR EVERYONE, SHE WANTS TO BE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS HER PEOPLE, so I made her come down to maintain consistency" — Mark Simonetti https://www.lagardedenuit.com/interview-de-marc-simonetti-2018/

And there's a reason this is important, because thrones and what they symbolize are a cross—cutting theme in the Daenerys books. Even when it's "unbecoming of a queen," Daenerys prefers a simple bench to a fantasy throne. She does not act in accordance with what is accepted and what is not accepted in society, but strives for equality and simplicity. She sincerely wants equality for everyone, even if it diminishes her own greatness. Even when others believe that a queen should put herself above her subjects, she doesn't.

There's a reason the books keep mentioning her thrones.:

Her waiting room was on the lower level, an echoing room with high ceilings and walls of purple marble. For all its splendor, it was a cool place. There once stood a throne, a fantastic thing made of carved and gilded wood in the shape of a ferocious harpy. She looked at it for a long time and ordered it to be broken into firewood. “I'm not going to sit on a harpy's lap,” she told them. Instead, she sat down on a simple ebony bench. It was convenient, though she could hear the maesters whispering that it was unbecoming of a queen. ― ASOS

Daenerys Targaryen preferred to conduct court sitting on a bench of polished ebony, smooth and simple, covered with cushions that Ser Barristan had found to make her more comfortable. King Hizdahr replaced the bench with two imposing thrones made of gilded wood, the high backs of which were carved in the shape of dragons. The king sat on the right throne with a golden crown on his head and a jeweled scepter in his pale hand. The second throne remained vacant. ― ADWD

Hizdahr's grotesque dragon thrones were removed on Ser Barristan's orders, but he did not return the simple bench with cushions that the queen preferred. Instead, a large round table with high chairs around it was set up in the center of the hall, where men could sit and talk as equals. https://rainhadaenerys.tumblr.com/post/188088487857/love-deejay-eldritch-crone#notes

I am obsessed with this art of Rhaenyra. She looks so real yet ehtereal at the same time. Still the atmosphere is almost eerie?

Her face, which looks so real, with no beauty standardization coming from our bias, yet she also looks sort of uncanny. She has the uncanny sort of beauty I would imagine Valyrians having and that I've rarely seen represented in fanarts, let alone official art. Or maybe it's not even uncanny, it's just us always thinking from our bias of what beauty is.

And thank the gods for her accurate body type for once.

And also her having the same hair texture people complained about her having on the show in certain scenes. Love that.

"When the fire died at last and the ground became cool enough to walk upon, Ser Jorah Mormont found her amidst the ashes, surrounded by blackened logs and bits of glowing ember and the burnt bones of man and woman and stallion. She was naked, covered with soot, her clothes turned to ash, her beautiful hair all crisped away... yet she was unhurt.

The cream-and-gold dragon was suckling at her left breast, the green-and-bronze at the right. Her arms cradled them close. The black-and-scarlet beast was draped across her shoulders, its long sinuous neck coiled under her chin. When it saw Jorah, it raised its head and looked at him with eyes as red as coals.

As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons."
