Like any good mother of fur (or scales in this case) babies, her favorite stories to share are of her dragons and the things they do. She's proud of them and the things they did when they were smaller... like Viserion insisting on clinging to her shoulder when he had gotten too big to do so or Drogon chasing his brother Rhaegal around in the sky while diving for fish to eat. She is almost endlessly charmed by the things they do as younglings. However as they get older, the stories become less cute and change in their tone. After all, dragons plant no trees.

[ 🫳 ]ㅤ.ㅤwho do they feel they owe, but never paid back ?

Ooo, this is a great question! First and foremost, her mother Rhaella -- not only for giving life to Dany at the cost of her own... but also for parts of her personality that she knows she had to have inherited from her. Viserys spoke often of their father and what he was like, so she saw a lot of him in her brother but nothing of him in herself. I believe that her desire to have known Rhaegar and her mother is because she always felt like she was 'wrong' in some way for not being like Viserys and Aerys.

Secondly, her people. The ones that have followed and joined her though there was no real guarantee that in doing so they would survive. I think this is an aspect of her character that gets overlooked a lot, but she truly loves her people and wants to be the best queen that she can for them -- to 'make them a little less bad' when it comes to the ones society otherwise discards.

Last, but not least, herself. Daenerys does not give herself near enough credit for some of the things she's endured and I feel a lot of that is due to the fact her advisors are so concerned with her not 'becoming her father'. They're so focused on that as a possibility that Dany becomes the same way, so will overlook herself and all the good that has come about due to her and her alone.

[ 🕊️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen did they feel the safest ?

✎ㅤ. . .ㅤ𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑶𝑵 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺.

When she has complete control. Over everything she possibly can. Who can leave, who can stay, where she is, whos around, knowing what they're intentions are. Having 100 back up plans. Knowing where her enemies are at any given time.

To Katherine, control is safety. She can plan for as many unknowns as possible but she can't always promise she'll get every single one accounted for. She doesnt like wild cards, doesn't like loose ends. Anything that could fuck up her plans or her ability to run everything makes her uncomfortable.

And while she does like spontaneity in life, she prefers it on a much smaller, more manageable scale.

[ 🌒 ]ㅤ.ㅤdo they have a dream or goal they have given up on ?

✎ㅤ. . .ㅤ𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑶𝑵 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺.

Hell no. Katherine is so stubborn. She wants her freedom from Klaus so she can have her romance and happy love and life and she has been chasing it for 500 years. Katherine's main driving force in life is to love and be loved and have her happily ever after.

She canonically doesn't give up on that till Stefan literally uses her dying daughter as bait to lure her to her death. Then she said "fuck it." And chose to walk to her own grave just so she could tell her dying daughter goodbye.

But since I don't usually consider that canon-

No she has no real dream shes given up unless you count the one where she lives happily ever after with both brothers.

[ 🧩 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat’s a truth about themselves they refuse to admit ?

✎ㅤ. . .ㅤ𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑫𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑶𝑵 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺.

That Katerina isn't dead.

Katherine often says she killed Katerina off to survive, but she actually just buried her. She considers that a whole different person but shes not. Katherine is Katerina. She just uses the depersonalization as a coping mechanism to justify the way she's had to change to survive. The thing's shes had to do.

But if you give her enough time and stability, you see Katerina pop up all the time. Because Katherine is every bit the sweet, compassionate, loving girl that Elena is. She just had to do some awful things to survive a lot of awful abuse all on her own.

How she justifies that, and some how preserves her own innocents is to consider that side a her a whole different person.

Just a stupid girl too weak to exist in this world so she had to be eradicated to make room for someone who could do what needed to be done.

❛ I promise you, you will have all the vengeance that you seek, but you must keep a grip on your impulses. ❜ (asha) asked by @lannisther

Asha felt the growl rumble low in her throat, eyes still pinned to the fucker who decided to run their mouth. Still she let her axe go, hands drifting to her side again at the queen's whispered promise. Usually she was better than this, better than flying off the handle but with her throne being stolen under her by her uncle she was dancing on a razor's edge with her temper.

"I will hold you to that." Her voice was still a low growl even as she adjusted herself, leaning into the queen's ear as if confirming some report that the others at the table had mentioned. Tilting her head she gently brushed her lips just behind Cersei's ear, rumbling low in her throat. "Otherwise the leash I allow you to have on me may snap."

Rhaenys   stepped   into   the   solar   with   the   poise   of   one   who   had   been   raised   among   both   sun   and   steel.   It   had   once   been   her   mother's.   .   .now   tainted   with   lion   and   stags   everywhere.   The   silks   she   wore   shimmered   with   the   deep   red   of   House   Martell   and   the   black-and-gold   dragon   of   her   bloodline   stitched   subtly   into   the   hem.

Her   gaze,   sharp   as   obsidian   glass,   swept   over   the   room—lingering   for   only   a   breath   too   long   on   the   lion   seated   by   the   fire.   Cersei   Lannister   did   not   rise.   Of   course   she   didn’t.   The   queen   regent—no,   queen   mother   now—held   her   goblet   as   if   it   were   a   scepter,   golden   hair   catching   the   last   of   the   afternoon   light

Rhaenys   crossed   the   room   with   deliberate   calm,   the   tap   of   her   sandals   echoing   on   stone.   She   stopped   just   close   enough   to   be   unsettling.   "I   do   not   bow   to   you   and   you   do   not   to   me.   At   least   we   agree   on   that.”   For   Rhaenys   would   be   the   heir   and   choice   for   the   crown,   if   it   where   to   pass   back   to   Targaryen   blood.   "My   uncle   avenged   my   mother's   death.   And   Robert   Baratheon   died   and   with   him,   my   father's   death."   As   much   as   she   cannot   forgive   her   father.

She   is   there   for   a   purpose.   Though   she   is   not   sure   what   that   is   exactly.   "You   know   I   am   not   lying   about   who   I   am.   You   saw   me   more   than   once.   .   .as   a   child."   The   single   strand   of   silver   hair   remains   on   her   hair.   But   she   favoured   her   mother,   unlike   Aegon.         @lannisther

don't just stare , come in . ( @lannisther )

"I   can   stare   as   long   as   I   please.   I   am   King."   He   said   in   a   matter   of   fact.   He   might   not   have   a   crown,   yet,   but   he   was   by   the   grace   of   his   mother   and   she   had   been   queen   then.   By   the   law   of   succession,   the   crown   fell   upon   him   even   when   two   other   dragons   crossed   the   shores   for   them.   A   supposed   nephew,   one   he   does   not   believe,   and   another,   his   own   sister,   with   breathing   living   dragons.

  "I   just   wondered   what   your   big   plan   is   now.   The   Stormlands   are   rallying   behind   this.   .   .Aegon.   Claiming   to   be   my   nephew."   There   is   a   short   pause   as   the   dragon   king   comes   forward,   eyes   on   the   solar   that   he   guessed   once   belonged   to   his   mother   before   she   was   Queen   and   breathed   in.   The   vestiges   of   Dragons   or   anything   related   to   Valyria   were   gone,   broken   and   removed   by   Robert   Baratheon.   All   that   remains   is   one   dragon   skull   on   the   tunnels,   Balerion   the   Black   Dread   taunting   them   all   from   the   underbelly   of   the   Keep.  

"My   sister   has   three   dragons.   And   this   boy,   who   I   doubt   is   really   my   nephew,   is   gathering   folk   to   his   side   simply   because   he   claims   to   be   Rhaegar's   boy."   Father   had   taken   Rhaegar   and   his   children   out   of   the   succession   when   suspicions   rose   that   his   brother   was   going   to   start   on   a   civil   war,   and   the   crown   fell   upon   him.   Lilac   eyes   share   on   the   view   before   them,   King's   Landing   looked   peaceful   from   this   distance   at   least.   "Daenerys   will   not   use   the   dragons.   Not   without   incentive.   And   Aegon.   .   .well,   I   can   dismiss   his   claim   with   ease."
