Targ Stans (sadly, Fire & Blood Opened The Gates For Daenerys Haters To Claim An Irrelevant And Unremarkable

Targ stans (sadly, Fire & Blood opened the gates for Daenerys’ haters to claim an irrelevant and unremarkable character as their favorite from House Targaryen, and yes, I’m including Team Black) genuinely act like GRRM came up with the Targaryens BEFORE Daenerys and just coincidentally had Aegon the Conqueror, Aegon III, Queen Rhaenys, Alysanne, Rhaena the Black Bride saying or doing the same or similar things as Daenerys.

Like do they think GRRM wrote Daenerys saying “a queen must listen to all, the highborn and the low…” in ASOS (2000) and then wrote Alysanne saying “above all else, a queen must know how to listen” in Fire & Blood (2018) but came up with Alysanne first ?

What came first in the GRRM’s head, Daenerys visiting the sick, bathing them with her hands, burying them with her own hands, feeding them water from her own skin (ACOK 1999, ADWD 2011), her people thinking her touch is magic (ASOS, 2000), or Aegon III visiting those stricken by the Winter Fever, sitting beside them, holding their hands and cooling their fevers with damp cloths, those who survived speaking of Aegon’s “healing hands” (Fire & Blood, 2018).

It is incredible to me that they are so stupid and illiterate that they think an in universe historical volume that GRRM wrote just for fun is somehow more important than the events of ASOIAF proper. These are people calling themselves book readers. And again, these dweebs are the only idiots brave enough to spew this bs in the fandom. No Stark fan thinks Brandon the Builder came before Bran Stark in GRRM’s head. Every Stark stan knows that the historical Brandons were ALL built around Ned and Catelyn’s son.

House Targaryen is solely centered around Daenerys and definitely not the other way around, when will shippers and braindead bitches ever get this fact drilled into their heads ?

Exactly, like yes watsonianly/in-world Daenerys would have never existed without any of her ancestors....that's just logical and so obvious it's insulting how people feel the need to point that out to just shut down any discourse abt why Dany herself is special.

It's just plain fact that Dany herself was CONCIEVED AND CREATED before any of her ancestors were and they are written as they are in F&B, PatQ, AWoIaF because GRRM wanted to bring some form of heritage and background that provides more meaning & urgency to Dany's present plot. Yes those Targs have impressive feats or interesting stories of ther own, but they have those because those are meant to explain Dany and Westeros and the relationship there on both sides. Historically and personally.

Kit and Emilia on Jon and Dany’s endings (from Fire Cannot Kill A Dragon)

Kit being emotional for Dany. Emilia being emotional for Jon. The way they care about each other’s characters. I’ve never once believed all the shit Kit has said after the finale because I mean we all saw his reaction at the table read. And finally, he’s saying how much Jon’s ending hurt him.

It will never not make me cry just how much these two get each other and are there for each other, especially throughout that bullshit of finale season. It’s like what Emilia once said, they they’re always in-sync and Kit saying no one else aside from him and Emilia will know what being on Thrones is really like.

“Irri, bring the green tokar, the silk one fringed with Myrish lace.”

“That one is being repaired, Khaleesi. The lace was torn." - Daenerys VI, ADWD

SANSA LITERALLY HEARD THE WIND. (and what the hell is that with claiming Jon called out to Sansa before he died...?)

Deep breath

Talking with @thelustybraavosimaid.... what do Jonsas think ASOIAF is?

-----------------------

But here's the thing... Humans (and ASOIAF characters) are deeper than the colour of their hair.

There's more to a person than what colour their eyes are. To that end, Ygritte and Sansa don't even share a hair or an eye colour. Sansa is auburn with groomed and styled, highborn, socially approved hairstyles. Meanwhile, Ygritte has bright, fiery, tangled, ginger hair. The conventionally beautiful Sansa has blue eyes. Ygritte has grey-blue eyes which are noted to be too far apart with a pug nose and crooked teeth. Ygritte's singing voice is described by Jon as deep and husky. She's short, small, and skinny. Meanwhile, Sansa is described as tall with a womanly figure. When Jon mistook Melisandre for Ygritte (likely because Mel was messing with something like a glamour), he was startled because Melisandre and Ygritte are so different. He did not fall in love with Melisandre at that moment or at all -- instead, he was unsettled. What is connecting Ygritte to Sansa here? Or at all? Sansa shunned Jon on the basis of his bastardy, refusing to regard him as real family because of it. Ygritte couldn't give less of a f*ck about Jon's social status. Sansa bullied Jon's most beloved person in the world (Arya), who actually shares canonical deeper connections to Ygritte that go beyond a hair shade. Why on earth would Jon connect Ygritte to Sansa Stark.
