I love how Fire and Blood shows time and time again how Targaryen women are passed over, usurped, abused, killed, raped, and slandered, all building to Daenerys, a Targaryen woman who rises to great power while seeking justice and salvation for all those crushed beneath the oppressive systems of her world... just to be usurped and killed so that we can place a man on the throne again.
#to be clear this is not a pro Targaryen restoration post#While I love Dany there have always been great Targs (*cough* Aegon V) and that did not make the dynasty not awful#because nobody should have that level of power even if you are the perfect King/Queen the next ruler could be a psycho#but to have all that backstory for Dany's family where some of the most horrific victims of the Targs are their own damn women#only to FINALLY get a Targ woman on the throne in her own right#just to make her the Mad Queen and have to be put down like a fucking dog so that the more emotionally tempered men can rule#is certainly.... a choice#team black#targaryen women#game of thrones#anti got season 8#fire and blood#daenerys targaryen#rhaena the black bride#rhaenyra targaryen#rhaenys the queen who never was#daena the defiant#saera targaryen#honestly I could tag almost every Targ woman they are all so tragic and fucked over by shitty men
