it's been a long time coming, but i finally did some daenerys costumes! i was intimidated bc she had SO many outfit descriptions in the books and i wasn't sure how i was going to narrow it down, but in the end i mainly did a design for each of the major regions she goes to (pentos, dothraki, qarth, meereen). the first dress and the starlight and seafoam dress are both inspired by specific book descriptions, while the rest are mainly headcanon based. the very last dress is kinda my "default" design for whenever i draw her

The little dragon.

I've just started reading George Martin's first book. Daenerys… God, I thought I loved her with all my heart, and that simply couldn't be more. Turns out, it can. She's such a precious girl…😭😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗

Gorgeous comic that I commissioned from @pepelinkri depicting Dany’s visit to the Astapori refugees. This is a very underrated book scene that encapsulates who Daenerys Targaryen is: a compassionate and selfless leader who is determined to go to any lengths to help her people (despite not receiving anything in return for it) and who inspires her allies to do better in the process.

Every day she sent them what she could, but every day there were more of them and less food to give them. It was growing harder to find drivers willing to deliver the food as well. Too many of the men they had sent into the camp had been stricken by the flux themselves. Others had been attacked on the way back to the city. Yesterday a wagon had been overturned and two of her soldiers killed, so today the queen had determined that she would bring the food herself. Every one of her advisors had argued fervently against it, from Reznak and the Shavepate to Ser Barristan, but Daenerys would not be moved. “I will not turn away from them,” she said stubbornly. “A queen must know the sufferings of her people.”

[…]  What kind of mother has no milk to feed her children?

[…] “You should not linger here overlong, Your Grace. The Astapori are being fed, as you commanded. There’s no more we can do for the poor wretches. We should repair back to the city.”

“Go if you wish, ser. I will not detain you. I will not detain any of you.” Dany vaulted down from the horse. “I cannot heal them, but I can show them that their Mother cares.”

[…] There was an old man on the ground a few feet away, moaning and staring up at the grey belly of the clouds. She knelt beside him, wrinkling her nose at the smell, and pushed back his dirty grey hair to feel his brow. “His flesh is on fire. I need water to bathe him. Seawater will serve. Marselen, will you fetch some for me? I need oil as well, for the pyre. Who will help me burn the dead?” By the time Aggo returned with Grey Worm and fifty of the Unsullied loping behind his horse, Dany had shamed all of them into helping her. Symon Stripeback and his men were pulling the living from the dead and stacking up the corpses, while Jhogo and Rakharo and their Dothraki helped those who could still walk toward the shore to bathe and wash their clothes. […]

Before midday a dozen fires were burning. Columns of greasy black smoke rose up to stain a merciless blue sky. Dany’s riding clothes were stained and sooty as she stepped back from the pyres. (ADWD Daenerys VI)
