Dear Fic Writer

Maybe you have a vague awareness of me through my kudos on your work, my novel length comments on the chapters that captivate me or my much shorter praise when I just don't have the words to do justice to your story.

But what you probably aren't aware of is that your beautiful words, your stunning scenes, your perfectly scripted dialogue and your oh so aparent love for your characters and their stories keep me such wonderful company throughout my day.

And you also probably won't know when I am re-reading your work for the 100th time to relive that perfect ending because it helps make a little more sense of the world, of my life.

But they do and I do.

Because you wrote.

Because you shared.

Dear fic writer.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

What’s up with dragons do they shed their skin? Do they feel all smooth and shiny and soft when they shed?

Daenerys Appreciation Week - Hope

That moment when Missendei sets the newborn into Dany's arms and full realisation hits her: he lives and he is not the monster Mirri Maz Duur once described, he is the most normal and healthy child. Within him, he holds promesses she did not dare hoping for anymore. He is the hope that others will come after him, giving her the family she never had; he is the hope that her blood will live on and keep her dragons safe after she's gone, he is the hope that her name survives along with the glory and respect it used to bare. So in that moment of turmoil and exhaustion, she cannot do anything more than turn to the man who've laid a path of miracles ahead of her and squeeze his hand as unspoken thanks.

Notes : what stories do colors tell us?

Jon's grey and red outfits : he embraced his Targaryen legacy. We can expect a slight change in behavior : the dragon is now awake as much as the wolf remains.

Jon and Dany's tanned skin : they've been living in King's Landing for 3 years before the first child showed up. It also tells us about their choices as rulers : they spend as much time in the streets with their people than in the Small Council Chamber.

Targ baby's kind of violet skin : labour was hard and too long. The baby barely made it alive and Jon spent the scariest hours of his life (yes losing Dany is worse than looking the Night King in the eyes)

“It’s cold up here for a southern girl.”

“So keep your queen warm…”

Dany was probably loud asf during boatsex. A lot of people wanted to see some more sex(y) stuff so ya.

Since the show left so much to the imagination of what could have taken place inside dany’s cabin (Thanks a lot btw… NOT) the possibilities are endless (which i guess could be seen as a blessing too depending on the size of your imagination).

ANYWAYS, Happy Saturday! :)

P.S. holy fuck i used to be so shy about posting this kind of content back when i only drew naruto now idegaf!

jon calling dany “his queen”

lawonderlandwriter

The thing is, this is when Dany wanted most to not be a queen. She wanted to be a woman loved by a man and perhaps if she had been, she would have realized it was enough for her.

instantbouquetface-me

The first time he said it (on the boat), it was one of the most loving and romantic things he could have said to her. It was beautiful. And of course it brought her to tears.

But when he said it in season 8, it was not loving. It rather became the maximum he could give her without being loving in the way she needed. Those words became a mere compensation prize for her, after he withdrew his affections.

This is one of the most irritating things they did with Jonerys in season 8. They took some of the most beautiful iconic words and moments, and perverted them by giving them another meaning. I loved watching him call her his Queen in 7x06. But now when I see it I am also reminded of how those words became a way to hold Dany at arms length. And it hurts. Even if I don’t want to accept this Jon and Dany as canonical, the memory of these scenes remains.

I really think they just want to punish all shippers.

D&D’s legacy is most definitely gonna be that time they made the millions of fans of the biggest show on TV cry, and not in a “I am emotionally satisfied and ready to say goodbye to this story and these characters” way. More of a “I can’t believe I just fucking invested a decade of my life into this bullshit. A decade of my life I will never get back” way.

It’s what they deserve lol.

I need to talk about the real Song of Ice and Fire - Jon and Daenerys. And what they did to them.

So first of all… both of them were used. In the most despicible way. Both of them were “useful” when needed and threw away when they didn’t need them anymore. They became victims of bad writing.

Jon was a side character all season 8 with only one good speech, at the beginning of episode 4. All 6 episodes he was like “I don’t want it” and “You are/she is my queen”. Even his last line to Daenerys wasn’t “I love you” but “You will always be my queen” (or something like that). The biggest hero, the hope of humanity was… nothing this season. The one thing we wanted him to do, Arya did. Just to subvert our expectations, because Jon killing the Night King was too obvious. NO. It wasn’t too obvious. It was expected, because that’s how you know you’re doing a good job with telling the story. Some things people should just expect, if it’s logical and comes from what kind of a character this person is. The only thing that could be surprising was “how the Night King was killed”. Jon was brought back to life to do…. what exactly. The Lord of Light did a lot of things, but he did them reasons. He brought back to life Beric, so he can save Arya, so she can kill the Night King. That was logical. Why the Lord of Light brought back Jon? It wasn’t to kill the Night King. We all thought that was the case. So… my next guess would’ve been: bringing the Targaryen line back to life. Like you know… make Daenerys pregnant so the house won’t go extinct and with that maybe more dragons would show up and we know dragons mean fire and fire is crucial for the Lord of Light. That was not the case. So… his task was to kill Daenerys? That was it? No. Let’s be honest. Jon was brought by the Lord of Light. With Daenerys dead, Bran became king. So the gods in power are the Old Gods. Lord of Light wouldn’t do it. So… the only explanation is… they forgot about that. Because if his reason would be uniting all men to fight the Night King, dying as a hero of Battle of Winterfell would be a fitting end for him. But they couldn’t kill him. Why? Because he had to kill Daenerys. Everyone played him, used him and his true indentity. What was the reason of R+L=J? To make Daenerys mad. To make Daenerys jelous. They used Jon’s love and Jon’s good heart to manipulate him into killing Daenerys, because “otherwise she’ll kill you and your family”. BULLSHIT. They were all talking about him being the better king, being the only true king. And what they did after he did their bidding? They exiled him! That was his grand prize! Exile. His identity means shit! The Targaryens are gone! And I’m absolutely not trying to defend Jon. What he did was horrifying. But that wasn’t the Jon we know. Jon we know should’ve never kill his loved one. He couldn’t kill Ygritte, and let’s remember what they were saying. That for Jon and Daenerys their relationship is the most important they ever had. Jon knows what it’s like to be stabbed by trusted, close people, what it’s like to be betrayed. He would never do that to someone who he loves. He knows what it’s like after death. There’s nothing. He wouldn’t do that to Daenerys. That’s not the Jon I grew to love. Just no. The Jon that killed Daenerys is a fucking joke.

And now Daenerys. I talked about Daenerys a lot already. We all know foreshadowing is not character development. We know even Emilia wasn’t aware of what Daenerys really meant when she was doing things and saying things. Daenerys’ whole journey to become evil was a tone of bad writing with 10 kilograms of bullshit. If you want to make transition to evil believable you tell the actor what’s going on. And they have no rights to tell us that everything she did was evil! How dare they turning her accomplishments into a path to madness! And tell us it wasn’t good. Because what? What so evil she did in Essos? Liberated slave cities and freed slaves? Uuuu baddie. What about punishing masters? What a tyrant! Killing khals who wanted gang rape her and every other woman? How dare she? Locking up her children, because one of them by accident killed one human child? I should call social services because how can she do that to her own children! Just because she used unorthodox methods she’s considered evil? So… if she’d just execute the masters and khals… would that be okay? But instead she crucified ones and burned the others and that is terrible thing to do. Or maybe better… if she feed the masters to hounds! If she made pie out of half of the khals and gave it to eat to the other half… that would be good, right? Without her they would be all dead! They should be on their fucking knees thanking her! Bran can rule the Six Kingdoms because of her. Arya can travel the world because of her. Sansa is the Queen in the North because of her! Her dragons are good and all when they’re burning the dead, but after that they’re beasts that have no place in Westeros. Their mother has no place in Westeros. So let’s manipulate her lover to kill her. She put her own desires away to help Jon. She wanted the Starks to like her, because their Jon’s family. Why Sansa, who came through similar shit, didn’t want to talk to her and bond? Why Arya, who loved Targaryens and their dragons, didn’t want to talk to Dany and ask her about dragons? Why they automatically pushed her away. “She’ll never be one of us” is such a bs. She was looking for home for so long and she thought she found it in Jon. And her home, her loved one killed her. She didn’t even touch that fucking chair! She died loving the man who ended her life. The same man that made her feel alive again. Oh and also… remember what Varys said when Tyrion proposed marriage? “Do you think she’ll want to share the throne?” Yeah that. Remember what she said to Jon seconds before he stabbed her? “Let’s do it together”. Fucking morons. I will never forget and forgive what they did to Daenerys…

Jon and Daenerys could’ve been the most epic relationship ever. The most romantic story. I stress they became the tragic joke. I’m still a hardcore Jonerys shipper, because everything that happened in this season wasn’t right. I still believe we will get justice in books and we’ll see Jonerys in the proper way. We’ll see both of them as independant characters in a proper way. But in the show… they were both butchered. Made to destroy each other.
