The moon ran with him, slipping through a tangle of bare branches overhead, across the starry sky. “Snow,” the moon murmured.

I see some fans saying that Targaryens represent the "old way" of doing things so in order for a new era to rise, they all have to die or at least none of them to end up on the Iron Throne.

The thing is, that even if Dany or Jon or - insert your favourite secret Targaryen theory here- any other Targaryen won't end up on the throne, things will remain exactly the same. Things remained the same when House Baratheon controlled the Iron Throne, and continues to be the same now that House Lannister controls it. After all, Westerosi Noble Houses are part of the so called "old way" of ruling which is based on feudalism. So no, if your favourite noble ends up as King or Queen nothing will magically change just because Targaryens won't be the ones with power.

In order for Westeros to abandon their so called "old ways " they should overthrown monarchy all together and embrace democracy But that would mean that none of your favourites will end up Lord or Lady of any region of the Seven Kingdoms. Personally, I would be fine with such ending but I really doubt that's what Martin has on his mind, judging by the foreshadowing on his books and his opinions on his interviews.

The only other way for things to change isn't simply to remove a specific House - aka Targaryen - from this feudalistic system but rather to put a charismatic ruler in charge who will care for the well being of all their people instead of only caring about themselves/ their House's glory/ nobles. Ironically for those fans, the two people who have shown to have this qualities among those who have been in a position of power actually belong in House Targaryen. And yes I'm talking about Dany and Jon.

fire and blood is really the perfect text for the wiki warriors and i think thats why there are so many fans who act like theres no reason to care about any characters but died-in-childbirth blonde #3 or daeron the diva #16. like they don't want characters or interiority they want a bullet pointed list of things they can point at fed to them in an easily digestable way. not since the marauders fandom has a fan community so transparently used character names to project their ocs onto

I loved you once

I do think a lot of period dramas and historical novels (not just Bridgerton but they don't get a pass) don't understand why Jane Austen is a household name. They think its just about romance and pretty dresses. Just ignoring all the social commentary that still lights up book club debates. I need writers to consider that the setting informs the themes of a story.

I hate those Daenerys is going to sacrifice herself/die theories so much it genuinely makes me tweak and I have never been the type of person to get upset at all over fiction or any type of media, but this irks me so bad because not only is Daenerys my absolute favorite character of all time, it’s upsetting how the female character is always the one who has to die for others sakes and never achieve anything for herself. Yes, it’s her destiny as AA to fight the Others, but that doesn’t mean that she has to die doing it. Like, seriously, after we got F&B and saw how many Targaryen women struggled with misogyny and being passed over for the throne, it feels upsetting to me if the one who is supposed to break the wheel will never have a chance to do so. I do love Bran but I do not see him fit to sit on the throne, not to mention how young he is and will be at the series end unless George does a massive timeskip, and after the whole world is in shambles after the Long Night, who is more fitting to sit on the throne and help mend things and lead the people forward? A well experienced ruler and fighter who will bring along a new age of change, or a child with no such experience? Perhaps it’s just me being salty but I just really want the best for my favorite character who I believe deserves to have her shot at having a home and being able to rule and change the world together with the other characters. Especially after the end of GoT, which no I don’t ever believe that George will go that route, but with how everything happened in the show, it looked like Westeros was a completely and utter mess and there was nobody capable left to pick up the pieces, Bran’s ascension to the throne was so random too and didn’t even feel satisfying or like a good conclusion (not that those two incapable idiots could ever produce a satisfying ending, but yeah). What are your thoughts on this? I just feel sad that fellow Dany fans are literally enthusiastically waiting for her death in the upcoming books as if there isn’t a better destiny for her :( The female character who managed to rise to power and become a ruler in her own right dying or giving that up to the men in order to “settle down” leaves such a bad taste in my mouth and doesn’t look like the subversion George has done with her character at all.

I definitely agree with you anon, Dany dying/sacrificing herself really doesn't seem to fit with her story. Yes, Dany certainly would be willing to die to save the world, but that doesn't seem to be where GRRM is writing her.

Dany's story is saturated with life; which is pretty ironic since she's been called "Daughter of Death". She's closely tied to themes of fertility (mother of dragons, helloo), rebirth (Azor Ahai, entering the pyre), and survival/endurance.

Dany's story shares very little similarities to characters who have been set up for death. For example, Robb. Dany may share some superficial similarities to Robb, but the signs of Robb's impending death are not shared at all. GRRM always sets up the deaths of his major characters from their introductions. That hasn't happened with Dany; if anything we see a set up to her surviving.

You're so right about how people are foaming at the mouth for Dany's death. Her dying after everything she's been through and everything she stands for is just...no. It feels so gross and has some really concerning undertones.

The woman who actually fought for change and made a massive upheaval in the status quo, who genuinely cares for all her people, who understands the responsibility of ruling, who demonstrates incredible wisdom, who only wants to make the world better dying for the sake of the story is just wow.

❤️ ⚾️ Play Along ⚾️ ❤️ | a Jonerys AU

“C’mon wife, play along.”

“I think I might have a crush on my husband.”

In which the Winterfell Wolves’ highly overqualified athletic trainer Dany Targaryen wakes up in Dorne with a hangover and no memory of getting married to the team’s star shortstop Jon Snow, who is the most persistant man she’s ever met. Also the sexiest. Also the one man she cannot have if she has any hope of keeping her job.

In which star shortstop Jon Snow figures the best way to save Dany’s job after their drunken elopement is to pretend it was a planned event and they’ve been together this whole time. Dany’s not thrilled. Jon totally is. You see, he’s been in love with her since the day he met her and now he finally has his shot….if only she would just play along.

A Jonerys AU of Liz Tomforde’s book, Play Along.

For @youwerenevermine I should have waited until your birthday but I couldn’t help myself. 🤭 I made it while at the damn baseball game and had to share!

Rewatching season 1 of Downton Abbey for redacted reasons and we under-appreciate just how batshit this show was. ‘Hey turbovirgin daughter of a country lord, would it be cool if a hot foreigner were to seduce you on a horse, come to your bedroom in the middle of the night, take your virginity, and then fucking DIED ON TOP OF YOU, in your bedroom, so you had to call your maid AND YOUR MOTHER to move his body, thus changing the trajectory of your lives forever? Your first sexual experience is a man busting a nut and immediately dropping dead? Would that be cool?’ and everyone said yes Julian, that would be so cool.
