LYANNA STARK APPRECIATION WEEK: Day 6 → Jon Snow
The mare whickered softly as Jon Snow tightened the cinch. “Easy, sweet lady,” he said in a soft voice, quieting her with a touch.

Shiera Seastar || Though she never wed, she had many offers, and several lovers through the years. Duels were fought over the right to sit beside her, men killed themselves after falling from her favor, poets outdid each other writing songs about her beauty. Her most ardent admirer was her half-brother, Bloodraven, who proposed marriage to her half a hundred times. Shiera gave him her bed, but never her hand. It amused her more to make him jealous.

”You stupid,“ she told him, "you scared the baby,” but Jon and Robb just laughed and laughed, and pretty soon Bran and Arya were laughing too.

Arya hated them making fun of Needle. “It’s castle-forged steel, you stupid,” she snapped, turning in the saddle to glare at them
— A Clash of Kings, Arya I
“What are you doing up here? Run and hide someplace, you stupid.”

“You lie,” said the waif. “You must lie gooder.” Arya laughed. “Gooder? You mean better, stupid.”

HOUSE TARGARYEN ♔ the nine mistresses of Aegon IV ( part II / II )
Lady Melissa Blackwood, also known as Missy, was a kind girl who befriended Queen Naerys and Princes Daeron and Aemon. She “reigned” for five years as Aegon’s mistress, before being set aside. During her five years as his mistress Melissa gave birth to three children: Mya Rivers, Gwenys Rivers, and a son, Brynden Rivers (b.175 AC), who would later be known as Bloodraven. Lady Bethany Bracken, the younger sister of Lady Barba, had been trained by her father and sister to seduce Aegon and replace Melissa. She caught Aegon’s eye in 177 AC, when he came to visit his son by Barba, and was taken back to King’s Landing. Aegon had grown fat by then, and Bethany was not comfortable with the relationship. She found comfort in the arms of Ser Terrence Toyne of the Kingsguard. They were discovered by the King in 178 AC, who had Bethany and her father executed, and Terrence tortured to death. Lady Jeyne Lothston was the daughter of Falena Stokeworth, Aegon’s first mistress, and Lord Lucas Lothston, (though some would claim Aegon himself was the father) and only fourteen when brought to court in 178 AC. She became Aegon’s mistress, but not for long as she caught the pox from Aegon, who had caught it from a whore he’d been seeing since Lady Bethany’s death. Jeyne and her family were sent away from court quickly after. Serenei of Lys was brought to court by Aegon’s newest Hand, Lord Jon Hightower. Serenei was said to be a sorceress, and would go on to die in childbirth with the last of the King’s acknowledged bastards, her daughter Shiera Seastar.
Lady Betha became known as Black Betha for her dark eyes and raven hair. When wed in 220 AC, the bride was nineteen and Aegon twenty, so far down the line of succession that the match provoked no opposition. Betha Blackwood’s children proved to be as stubborn as their mother, and like their father, chose to follow their hearts when choosing mates.

BOOK!DAENERYS in A Game of Thrones vs. SHOW!DAENERYS in the first season of Game of Thrones
Viktoriya Novikova was around 14 when The Little Mermaid (1976) was filmed, which makes her an age-accurate fancast for book!Daenerys (who is 13-14 in A Game of Thrones).
By comparison, Emilia Clarke was 23-24 during the filming of the first season of Game of Thrones.
DAENERYS APPRECIATION MONTH 2022 ↳ Day 3: The Dothraki → Irri and Jhiqui
“Khalakka dothrae mr'anha!” she proclaimed in her best Dothraki. A prince rides inside me! She had practiced the phrase for days with her handmaid Jhiqui. *** She kissed Irri’s hand where Drogon had bitten it. “I’m sorry he hurt you. Dragons are not meant to be locked up in a small ship’s cabin.” *** When Doreah looked longingly at a fertility charm at a magician’s booth, Dany took that too and gave it to the handmaid, thinking that now she should find something for Irri and Jhiqui as well. *** 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.” *** As the world darkened, Dany settled in and closed her eyes, but sleep refused to come. The night was cold, the ground hard, her belly empty. She found herself thinking of Meereen, of Daario, her love, and Hizdahr, her husband, of Irri and Jhiqui and sweet Missandei, Ser Barristan and Reznak and Skahaz Shavepate. Do they fear me dead? I flew off on a dragon’s back. Will they think he ate me?
