Why do you think the targaryens were unable to get dragons to hatch after the Dance?

Simple answer: because they broke the magic that sustained them.

Longer answer:

The Dance of the Dragons was a civil war that didn’t just destroy the Targaryen dynasty’s power—it shattered the delicate magical ecosystem that allowed dragons to thrive. Here’s why that matters:

Too many dragons died at once. Magic in Westeros is not infinite—it ebbs and flows like a tide. Dragons are magical creatures, and their existence is tied to larger magical forces. During the Dance, over a dozen dragons were killed violently, some in horrific ways. That much concentrated death likely caused a magical rupture, draining or destabilizing whatever ambient power was sustaining the species.

The bond between dragon and rider was desecrated. Targaryens turned dragons against each other. They forced them to fight in civil war—siblings killing siblings, dragons turning the skies into blood and fire. That betrayal of their own kind may have damaged the spiritual or mystical link between Targaryens and their dragons. It's possible that Valyrian magic—rooted in blood, fire, and will—was offended, weakened, or simply fractured.

Valyrian magical knowledge was lost or suppressed. The dragonlords of Valyria used blood rituals, sorcery, and ancient rites to bind and hatch dragons. Most of that knowledge was either never fully brought to Westeros or was lost after the Doom. The Targaryens relied on tradition, not full understanding. Once things started going wrong—eggs not hatching, dragons dying—they lacked the magical tools to fix it.

Maesters may have sabotaged them. There’s a solid fan theory (and some evidence in Fire & Blood) that the maesters of the Citadel had a hand in the decline of dragons. Many maesters mistrusted magic, dragons, and the Targaryens’ firepower. They may have spread misinformation, discouraged arcane practices, or even tampered with eggs. Septon Barth, who understood dragons better than most, warned that the creatures were not just beasts—they were fire made flesh, a magical force of nature.

The Targaryens themselves changed. After the Dance, the dynasty grew cautious, more political, less mystical. They treated dragon eggs as heirlooms, not weapons or living beings. Their fear of another Dance led to policies that dulled the very ambition and arrogance that once allowed them to bind dragons. Without that fire—literal and figurative—they couldn’t rekindle what was lost.

By the time of Aegon III, the “Dragonbane,” the last dragons were sickly, stunted things. His reign is the period where the last true dragons died, and no new ones hatched. Whether that was a consequence of grief, trauma, or some deeper magical severance is up for debate—but the result was the same: the fire went out.

Only when Daenerys steps into that funeral pyre with blood magic, fire, death, and sacrifice—echoing ancient Valyrian rites—do dragons return.

Because it’s not just about the egg. It’s about what you’re willing to burn to hatch it.

So uhh zane, what did we learn about using full potential in close quarters?

it is dangerous, and irresponsible, and i should not do it again.....

[superstarnaptime]

LOON: Wow, thanks. I thought I was a steady average for a Moon like me, but I’m starting to feel like I’m an extraordinary cutiepie.

Sending my digital hug to you… ding!

My hood? It covers my hinges and feels comforting. I look more human with it on. I don’t like being stared at when I’m in public.

Plus, it reminds me of wearing my hat… I lost it a while back. It was the hat or getting taken to a FazCo recycling center.

It’s nice of you to worry about me, but I can cool off by taking the hood down while recharging. It never gets hot enough for me to be concerned, unless I’m under a lot of stress or in a hot environment.

GRRM gives you free reign to make whatever changes you want to the books

What do you do?

Alright, gloves off. If GRRM handed me the keys to A Song of Ice and Fire, and told me to do whatever I wanted—no canon restrictions, no fan expectations, just raw narrative freedom—here's exactly what I'd do:

1. Daenerys Gets a Spine (and a Brain) Back

Her ADWD arc is a dragging mess. She goes from a fierce conqueror with moral ambiguity and raw ambition to a mopey, dithering queen playing house with slavers and whining about prophecy and dragons like they're misbehaving pets. No. I’d gut that entire Meereenese knot.

She embraces being a dragon. No more pretending to be Mhysa the goat herder. She burns Astapor, sacks Yunkai, and crucifies more slavers when they resist.

She leans harder into her Targaryen side, but not in the cartoon "madness" way. Cold, brilliant, and terrifying. Think Cleopatra meets Alexander the Great with actual dragons.

Her dragons are weapons. Not metaphors. Not unruly children. Weapons.

And yes—she flies west before the end of the book, either to Westeros or to Valyria to find something that actually matters.

2. Trim the Fat — Cut the Dead Weight POVs

GRRM’s biggest crime is not writing too much, but writing too much that doesn’t matter. We don’t need:

Areo Hotah: His POV is like being stuck in a silent film with color commentary from a bored eunuch.

Quentyn Martell: Killed off to prove a point that was made five chapters earlier. Waste of ink.

Arys Oakheart: I’d keep Arianne, but his chapters go in the fire.

Instead, consolidate that narrative real estate into making sure we have consistent arcs for Jon, Dany, Arya, and Tyrion. Or give it to overlooked characters with actual stakes—like Sandor, who could carry at least one book-worthy POV.

3. Let Aerys Burn It All Down (Alternate Timeline)

I’d absolutely write a full-blown AU where Rhaegar doesn’t "kidnap" Lyanna—he fails to stop his father. Aerys torches King’s Landing. The wildfire caches erupt. The Red Keep collapses. Tywin doesn’t betray him in time. The capital becomes a cursed ruin—Harrenhal 2.0.

The Targaryen dynasty ends on dragonfire, not with a whimper but a cataclysm.

Make that the starting point for a darker, post-apocalyptic Westeros where the Starks, Martells, and Greyjoys pick through the ashes for power, and Dorne rises through fire and smoke.

You want a mad king? Let him be mad. Not just whisper about it—show it, full nuclear.

4. Bring Back the Supernatural with Real Purpose

The Others: Give us a hard magic system behind their resurrection powers. Less vague “winter is coming” and more “here’s the blueprint for undead conquest.”

Bran: No more magical wheelchair Jesus. Make him a morally ambiguous, terrifying greenseer who may or may not be responsible for the Long Night returning. Think less Druid, more Lovecraft.

The Wall: Tear it down. That’s your end-of-Book-6 climax.

5. Endgame: The Final Four

By the last book, only four characters matter in the Song of Ice and Fire:

Jon Snow: The Song itself—fire and ice in one man. But he doesn’t get the crown. He sacrifices himself to stop the Others permanently.

Daenerys: She becomes Queen. Not of Westeros, but of a new order. She reshapes the political map.

Tyrion: He survives, bitter, broken, and the last witness to everything that died with the age of dragons.

Bran: Not king. God. A broken, root-bound oracle at the center of the weirwood network. Neither man nor boy anymore. Something else.

Everyone else—food for crows.

6. Cersei Dies in the Pettiest, Most Ironic Way Possible

Forget getting crushed by rubble. She dies locked in a room with wildfire she ordered to be moved, trying to light it and screaming “I am the queen!” as Jaime slams the door shut.

7. Theme Fix: No More Moral Shrugging

The series started out with a strong theme: actions have consequences. But it loses that bite by Book 5. I’d bring it back hard. Every lie, every murder, every betrayal—you pay the price. Maybe not today. But someone does.

Bottom line: I’d make it tighter, darker, and more mythic. No rambling travelogues, no food porn, no filler chapters of people describing other people who are off-screen doing something maybe interesting. Less talking about dragons. More dragons. Less hinting at the end. Deliver it.

Let the old gods bleed, let the throne rot, and let the last page be written in fire and shadow.

This is your sign to step away from the internet after reading about the recent news. I hope our community can heal from this and I hope the media can let the families and friends grieve. This is such a terrifying and devastating situation.

Does Vash's angel body thingy transformation match the polar world?

not really tbh, he looks very out of place on an ice planet

but his body produces a natural antifreeze and hes capable of heating up the surrounding air enough to soften metal so thats keeping him safe from freezing solid!
