in the world where the dothraki are written well doreah and jhiqui are sansa and arya parallels, irri is a robb parallel, the bloodriders foil the kingsguard (genuinely loyal to dany but willing to call her out on stupid shit), jhogo basically gets show!jorah's arc of being hopelessly in love with and devoted to dany, and rakharo and aggo are a Comedic Duo like pyp and grenn except they band together to mercilessly make fun of jhogo's downbadisms. my mind palace
not a day goes by that I don’t think about the wasted potential of the dothraki characters. irri and jhiqui as direct narrative parallels to dany (the enslaved daughters of a fallen khal vs the enslaved princess of a fallen dynasty). jhogo being the first person to ever protect dany from viserys, being the first bloodrider to pledge his loyalty to her, and remaining fiercely protective of her aka the princess/bodyguard trope. irri and jhiqui having a thing for rakharo after noticing that he’s suddenly wayyy taller than jhogo and aggo. that one time rakharo tried to outdo quaro by eating more sausages than him and burping so loudly that dany giggles after weeks of grieving for viserys. dany kissing irri’s hand better after drogon bites her. dany wielding a whip just like jhogo does as she frees the unsullied. this wacky gang of teenagers taking down the institution of slavery with the power of friendship.
all of this potential for WHAT. where’s the depth? why do they all talk the same way? why are their characters so similar as to almost be interchangeable? like give us a dothraki pov or at least just let them be real people like the westerosi characters get to be !?! let them be more than caricatures please ?!?

lmao i find it so funny that dany met belwas and the first thing she knows about him is that he’s killed a fuck ton of ppl in the fighting pits and is good/confident enough that he lets each person cut him once before he kills them. and yet as soon as he insults her bloodriders and her people, dany (14, like 1/3 of his size, after she just almost got assassinated) is like “yeah if you do that again you will be regretting it :)”
AND IT WORKS
it's such a trip to remember dany's bloodriders are all teen boys. "of an age with her." rakharo only just starts getting facial hair in adwd. dany's og squad is just a bunch of skinny teenagers plus one pervy old man.
some cool people from dany’s chapters for practice
can’t wait for dany’s bloodriders and ser barristan to teach her to fight in both dothraki and westerosi style in twow
Irri and Jhiqui should have had chapters. In fact, all of Dany's most trusted dothraki should have had chapters in book four. It would have been very interesting to see Dany from her followers POV and to explore more of the Dothraki.
The girls also should have had a bow and a whip, but that's another talk.
