— Inside HBO’s Game of Thrones: Seasons 1 & 2

The way the house of the dragon writers always lick their own assholes about being a ~Feminist Show~ and “guys it’s totally different we’re not like GOT ok!!!” yet because HOTD functions as a prequel to GOT it just makes it seem even more hollow and sexist. Like “oh gee Rhaenyra it sucks that they stole your crown and birthright for being a woman…too bad that hundreds of years later the same thing will happen to your granddaughter who will lose everything and everyone she loves and suffer just as much abuse and mistreatment as you had, while a man takes everything from her and villainizes her just like they did to you /:” I can’t imagine being content with that lol that’s why I read the books

Her familiar 

This is madness, she told herself as she lifted the black-and-scarlet egg from the velvet. It will only crack and burn, and it’s so beautiful, Ser Jorah will call me a fool if I ruin it, and yet, and yet… Cradling the egg with both hands, she carried it to the fire and pushed it down amongst the burning coals. The black scales seemed to glow as they drank the heat. Flames licked against the stone with small red tongues. Dany placed the other two eggs beside the black one in the fire. As she stepped back from the brazier, the breath trembled in her throat.

He followed, angry, holding the torch out low so he could see the rocks that threatened to trip him with every step, the thick roots that seemed to grab at his feet, the holes where a man could twist an ankle. Every few feet he called again for Ghost, but the night wind was swirling amongst the trees and it drank the words. This is madness, he thought as he plunged deeper into the trees. He was about to turn back when he glimpsed a flash of white off ahead and to the right, back toward the hill. He jogged after it, cursing under his breath.

CANON DAENERYS CHALLENGE | The Song of Ice and Fire is a prophecy about the Others (Ice) and Daenerys Targaryen and her Dragons (Fire) according to George R. R Martin (in·sp)

GRRM to Al Jazeera: Well of course the two outlying ones, the things that are going on north of the Wall and Daenerys Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons are of course the Ice and Fire, the Song of Ice and Fire.

GRRM to Adria’s News: Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

HOTD (Aegon I’s prophecy came from GRRM):  And if the world of men is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. A king or queen strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the dark. Aegon called his dream ‘The Song of Ice and Fire.’

A Feast for Crows: “No one ever looked for a girl. […] The language misled us all for a thousand years. Daenerys is the one, born amidst salt and smoke. The dragons prove it.”

GRRM to The NY Times: By Season 5 and 6, and certainly 7 and 8, I was pretty much out of the loop. […] So I think what you’re going to find is, when “Winds of Winter” and then, hopefully, “Dream of Spring” come out, that my ending will be very different.
