“A warg walks among us, brothers. A WARG! This . . . this creature is not fit to lead us! This beastling is not fit to live!” (ASOS, Jon XII)

“She is a foolish child, mad and heedless and too dangerous to live.” (ADWD, Daenerys III)

gotta love a couple whose very existence is deemed to be a threat to the status quo. like people literally losing their minds and begging for them to be put down like rabid dogs in order to maintain established systems of power. once again I ask you, who is doing it like they are?

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion / hot take

But I think you can’t hate Daenerys and like ASOIAF at the same time.

Dany: I am Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the first of my name, Queen of the 7K, (…) Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, Aegon the Conqueror with teats, the PtwP or AA or whatever… *goes on and on*

Jon: That’s pretty 🥰

Why do you find Daenerys so compelling? There are so many facets to her character, the role she plays within the larger story of ASOIAF, what she represents to others that makes her a character many of us feel a camaraderie with.

Initially, I came across Daenerys in the context of the show. Her plotlines and scenes were always my favourite. I can recall even now how I felt after I saw the scene where she births the dragons. But I cannot recall why I was so enamoured with her at the time.

I watched GOT for the first time in 2018, so it has been a long enough time since I first became familiar with her character. I only read the books for the first time in late 2022, because of her character, I wanted to read them for myself and put some distance between show Danys actions and book Danys.

That was easily done. I’ve since read the series in its entirety, and am currently on my first reread. And still I find Dany the most compelling character in the series. And in all series’ as I’ve worked my way through fantasy. But only in the last year or so have I been able to put a finger on why I love her so much.

Childhood. That sense of a dysfunctional childhood, where it ends prematurely. A catalystic event where you can go - then - that’s when my childhood ended. And how relatable is this? For so many of us. Robbed of a childhood due to abuse, poverty, an unfair burden of responsibility. Any and all of these are something so many of us experience.

On a reread I now love so many of the characters ten fold compared to my first read, but Dany still comes out on top.

I see people insult others faves in the series all the time, so I’m implore you, we all have different life experiences and are drawn to the characters we feel closely reflects those experiences. And that’s what makes ASOIAF so so incredible, because there’s a character for all of us.

So my question is no longer why do you find Daenerys so compelling, but why do you find your fave so compelling?
