House of the dragon S3 Daemon recap Index
Even if I don’t consider myself the biggest Daenerys fan in the books or the show, what they did to her in the last season is absolute narrative trash, and on top of that, it’s a total sexist move. Daenerys’s storyline has always been messianic, centered on freeing people and her determination to claim what she sees as rightfully hers, while at the same time breaking with the old governing methods of her ancestors. That is CONSTANTLY maintained throughout the series, until the last goddamn season, where suddenly they decide her values over the previous seven seasons were just a dream, and suddenly she’s some totalitarian, arrogant villain. Well.
Then there’s all that nonsense with confronting her with Sansa for no real reason, and tangentially Arya too, which sets up two camps between her and the Stark sisters, with Jon as the poor guy stuck between the women in his life which, to me, is first-grade-level mishandling of female character dynamics. But beyond that, the confrontation is very symbolic because all three are pillar characters in the story and women, and instead of handling their problems civilly, they decide to mess with each other in passive-aggressive ways, which falls into super misogynistic gender tropes. But okay.
Then there’s Daenerys’s “madness,” which comes straight out of the creators’ asses, because over seven fucking seasons there’s not even a HINT that she’s starting to unravel or that her mental health is deteriorating. And no, the genetic argument doesn’t cut it, reaching the level of psychosis required to burn an entire CAPITAL is not something you can just drop suddenly; it needs its own arc to feel realistic. But on top of that, the downfall of one of the most important female characters in the series being “she was so ambitious she went completely mad” is literally the most sexist stereotype for women with goals in fiction. The trope of the ambitious woman being evil, crazy, or both has been repeated constantly in patriarchal narratives.
If we look at it, both Daenerys and Cersei end up “punished” for being ambitious; Arya and Brienne don’t because they’re not ambitious in terms of seeking power, and Sansa is ambitious but wins the crown only after enduring the worst atrocities and becoming a “woman of ice.” Since she’s suffered the worst of the worst, they let her have a nice ending. But Daenerys, after years of freeing cities and slaves, suddenly has a psychotic break and destroys a city? She’s become so power-hungry that the only possible outcome is that she’s psychotic? It’s such a sexist cliché, it’s horrible.
And there’s another layer, too: how women with mental health struggles are treated in media. Even if Daenerys really inherited the Targaryen mental health issues, so what? What about women with mental health struggles? Can’t women have moments of instability? Can’t they experience episodes? Can’t they feel rage and express it? Is the only option for a woman who doesn’t suppress a mental breakdown to be a goddamn genocidal maniac?
Everything about Daenerys’s ending in the show is so, so wrong from so many perspectives that it’s unbearable. It’s the kind of thing that makes you want to grab the producers and cut off their balls.
Title: Hearts of Fire
Daenerys Targeryen x reader X khal drogo(slightly)
---
The air was thick with the scent of blood and incense as the Dothraki gathered in the sacred tent, their voices rising in a cacophony of anticipation. At the center of it all stood Daenerys Targaryen, silver hair cascading over her shoulders, her violet eyes set with steely determination. Beside her, you stood just as resolute, your fingers intertwined with hers as you both faced the daunting task ahead. This was a ritual meant to prove strength, resilience, and the power of life growing within Daenerys. But the Khaleesi was not alone, for you had bound your fate to hers long before the Dothraki had ever known either of your names.
When Khal Drogo had chosen Daenerys as his Khaleesi, you had been a part of the bargain, an unconventional condition that neither he nor his people had expected. The blood of the dragon burned hot in both of your veins, and your love for each other was as fierce as the flames that had birthed you. Drogo had seen the fire in your eyes, the unwavering loyalty you held for Daenerys, and had accepted the challenge of marrying not just a dragon, but two.
Now, the Dosh Khaleen—the ancient crones who led the ceremony—looked on with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. No other Khaleesi had ever brought her heart-bound to this ritual. But this was not just any Khaleesi, and you were not just any woman.
As the crones brought forth the raw, bleeding heart of the stallion, the murmurs of the Dothraki quieted. The heart was massive, still warm, and the scent of fresh blood filled your nostrils. It was a symbol of the life growing within Daenerys, the life of the stallion who would mount the world. But for you, it was also a symbol of the bond you shared with her, the unbreakable connection that had brought you both to this moment.
Daenerys took a deep breath, her grip on your hand tightening as she stepped forward. You could feel her fear, her determination, and you gave her a reassuring squeeze in return.
"We do this together," you whispered, your voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in your stomach.
She nodded, her eyes never leaving yours. "Together," she repeated, her voice a vow as strong as any oath.
The Dosh Khaleen began their chant, an ancient and haunting melody that echoed through the tent. Daenerys raised the heart to her lips, taking the first bite with a grimace that she quickly hid. The taste was foul, the texture tough and chewy, but she forced herself to chew and swallow, her eyes flicking to you for strength. You stepped closer, your free hand brushing a strand of her hair away from her face as she continued to eat, each bite a struggle.
When the time came for you to join her, you did so without hesitation. The Dothraki watched with bated breath as you bit into the heart, the taste just as revolting as you had imagined. But you didn't falter. The blood of the dragon did not yield. You would not falter.
The ritual was gruesome, the task daunting, but together, you and Daenerys persevered. Bite after bite, the heart began to disappear, the blood staining both your lips and hers, a symbol of the shared strength and love that had brought you to this point.
As the heart was finally consumed, a hush fell over the tent. Daenerys swayed on her feet, but you were there to steady her, your arms wrapping around her waist as she leaned into you, exhausted but victorious. The Dothraki began to chant her name, their voices rising in a roar of approval. The stallion who mounts the world had been proven, and the Khaleesi had shown her strength. But as you held her close, you knew that the real victory was not just hers, but yours as well.
Khal Drogo stepped forward, his dark eyes locking onto yours and Daenerys's. There was a fierce pride in his gaze, a recognition of the bond you both shared. He placed a hand on Daenerys's shoulder, then on yours, a silent acknowledgment of the strength you both possessed.
"You are both my Khaleesi," he declared in his deep, resonant voice, the words carrying a weight that the Dothraki understood. It was unprecedented, a union of three, bound not just by tradition but by love, respect, and fire.
As the ceremony came to an end, the Dothraki began to disperse, their excitement turning to celebration. You and Daenerys remained in the tent, the tension of the ritual finally giving way to relief. She turned to you, her violet eyes softening as she reached up to cup your face, her thumb brushing away a smear of blood on your cheek.
"You were incredible," she whispered, her voice full of emotion. "I couldn't have done this without you."
You smiled, leaning into her touch, your heart swelling with love. "Neither could I, my love."
The two of you stood there for a moment, lost in each other, the world outside forgotten. In that instant, it didn't matter that you were in a foreign land, surrounded by people who still didn't fully understand your bond. All that mattered was that you had each other, that you were stronger together than apart.
As the sounds of celebration grew louder outside, you and Daenerys shared a kiss, the taste of blood still lingering on your lips, a reminder of the ritual you had just endured. It was a kiss filled with promise, with the fire of dragons, and with the knowledge that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you would face them side by side.
Together, you would conquer, you would rule, and you would love, bound by fire and blood, forever.
