The Dragon Queen and her Little Hand 🤧🤧🤧🤧

asoiaf meme: 2/9 houses

House Targaryen is a noble family of Valyrian descent that escaped the Doom. They lived for centuries on the island of Dragonstone until Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters rode their dragons in their conquest of the Seven Kingdoms. House Targaryen ruled as the kings on the Iron Throne and as the Great House of the crownlands for nearly 300 years, until their ouster in Robert’s Rebellion, which they call the War of the Usurper.

House Targaryen’s best core trait is willing to think outside the box. 

The reason House Targaryen survives the Doom of Valyria is because Daenys has a prophetic dream and her father Aenar listens to her and uproots his entire family, despite being mocked by the other Valyrian dragonlords. Despite what we think of conquest and considering all the Westerosi houses exist because of conquest, Aegon had a vision of a unified Westeros instead of the squabbling regions he saw. He saw something none of the other kings of Westeros saw and he made it happen even while respecting each regions’ cultures and traditions. Daeron the Good united all the 7 kingdoms peacefully when he brought Dorne into the fold by marriage rather than the sword. Alysanne ended the tradition of First Night, where lords could sleep with a bride on her wedding night.  Aegon the Unlikely sought to reduce the powers of the high lords and pass reforms favorable to smallfolk. This continues on with Rhaegar, Dany, and Jon, for good or ill. 

Targaryens’ core identity seems to be looking at existing social structures and saying “nah.” Maybe it’s because like the quote says “Like their dragons, Targaryens answered to neither god nor man” and obviously this trait has gone very wrong in some people’s hands. But at its best? it’s a soaring epic trait.
