Okay so I am finally fully reading Dany’s chapters for the first time (The other times were only half and snippets) and during Visery’s death scene, this section stuck out to me and I haven’t seen anyone talking about it.

“Distantly, as from far away, Dany heard her handmaid Jhiqui sobbing in fear, pleading that she dared not translate, that the khal would bind her and drag her behind his horse all the way up the Mother of Mountains. She put her arm around the girl. “Don’t be afraid,” she said. “I shall tell him.” 

Can we talk about this for a sec? 

This is a 13/14 year old pregnant girl, who is being held at swordpoint by her abusive drunk brother, who had just been threatened of being taken back and having her unborn child cut out of her by said brother.

and yet, the minute she heard Jhiqui crying and being afraid of what would happen to her if she translated that to Khal Drogo, and the first thing she does is comfort and reassure her, that she would translate Visery’s words herself.

Can you believe that?! That a young girl is being threatened with basically death and yet still finds it within her to worry about someone else’s suffering?!

And some of y’all idiots on here still say that she is destined to go crazy and that she has “always been powerhungry and cruel”???!?!?!!

None of y’all talk to me until a semblance of a brain cell comes crawling back into that empty head of yours.

Holy fuck, I knew the show whitewashed Jorah but I didn’t realize just how MUCH! He did not learn ANYTHING from his exile/punishment! He still tries to justify slavery and then tries to make Dany give up her morals and stance on slavery! 

And they way he keeps trying to touch her when she has shown multiple times throughout her chapters that she was uncomfortable with him touching her or staring at her breasts! When he kisses her, she pushes him away and tells him he shouldn’t have done that. When he gives his shit explanation, he AIN’T EVEN LOOKING HER IN THE EYE! HE’S STARING AT HER CHEST AGAIN!

He severely crossed a line for her and scared her, to the point where she always has her handmaids or her bloodriders around her in case he tries again and actively avoids him. Smells like red flags to me. 

He’s a jackass through and through. How in the fucking hell did Dumbass and Dick take all that predatory behavior away and made him this sympathetic good character in the show?! RIDDLE ME THAT! They made Dany go “mAd” but made Jorah this good guy white knight? HELL FUCKING NO! I’ve been mad side eyeing those two for a while now but now alarms are ringing in my head.

Fuck that and for the 500th time, FUCK THE SHOW!

Anyways, we’re getting my favorite part. Where Dany finally does what she should’ve done from the get go and deal with those asshole, arrogant slavers.

“The wedding garb is fraught with meaning too. The bride is dressed in dark red veils above a tokar of white silk, fringed with baby pearls.” 

The queen of the rabbits must not be wed without her floppy ears. 

“All those pearls will make me rattle when I walk.” 

“The pearls symbolize fertility. The more pearls Your Worship wears, the more healthy children she will bear.”

I will never forgive Michelle Clapton for having all this beautiful sounding costume material to bring to life and NEVER doing it. What a fucking waste. Instead, she peddled all that nonsense about “blue being a sacred color”, “Arya not being a Stark anymore” “Red hidden in the white color that foreshadows the blood she’ll spill in Kings Landing”. Just endless nonsense. The Mereen costumes for Dany and the Mereenese looked horrible and way too modern. Dany’s outfits only got more modern looking as he seasons went on.

WHAT. A. WASTE. Thank god for fanart.

“ “The plan was to reveal Prince Aegon only when we reached Queen Daenerys,” Lemore was saying.” Good that you called her by her proper title.

“That was when we believed the girl was coming west. Our dragon queen has burned that plan to ash, and thanks to that fat fool in Pentos, we have grasped the she-dragon by the tail and burned our fingers to the bone.” As she should. Grasp anywhere else that belongs to the she-dragon and she’ll burn the rest of you, Griff.

“Illyrio could not have been expected to know that the girl would choose to remain at Slaver’s Bay.” Dany burning Illyrio’s plans is what we like to see in this house.

Gosh, I really empathize with Jeyne Westerling. Lady-> Queen-> Lady. You had to deal with the immediate expectation of PREGANCY and CHILDREN then your new war boyfriend gets brutally murdered by a conspiracy involving your mom.

Like. That’s rough girl, you aren’t old enough for this shit.
