#quotes from game of thrones

[the-daily-dreamer]

My favorite this about targ stans is that they cherry pick GRRM’s words so that they seem right. Specifically the quote that ice and fire are the others and dragons.

And on the surface that could serve as a feasible argument, corroborated by the author, that Daenerys is the “most important character tm”. Because of the others are obviously the mythical antagonists then dragons must be the mythical protagonists. The fire will destroy the ice and so dragons are good and therefore Daenerys, the mother of dragons, is good. And that’s a serviceable argument until you look further into GRRM’s quotes.

Quotes about how the dragons are weapons of mass destruction (from a well known anti-war writer). Quotes about how if you think Jon and Dany are the point of the story, you’re missing 80% of the story (implying each are only roughly 10% of the story). They start to diminish this claim of Dany being the ultimate savior against the others.

And if you want my opinion, I think that the quote of dragons being fire and the others being ice is misinterpreted. Because GRRM never says that it’s the fight between ice and fire or the triumph of fire over ice. He provide ZERO context actually about what those mean for the broader world and story. And I think that based on comments about the threat dragons pose as weapons of mass destruction, the dragons are yet another threat to Westeros. Just like the others. The song of ice and fire is the song of the triumph of Westeros against the two threats to come and icy undead army and giant fire breathing serpents.

After all, once the long night ends and the icy threat of winter is defeated, we will all dream of spring. And dragons plant no trees.

Some very important facts in my life right now:

I'm currently visiting NYC with my kidlets, aged 8 and 10.

We are staying about three blocks away from the Empire State Building.

There is currently a giant inflatable dragon wrapped around the Empire State Building.

Kidlets are delighted by the dragon.

Kidlets are rather more delighted by the dragon than might be expected.

Yes, you might say, it's a dragon wrapped around a famous skyscraper, where's the surprise in that?

No surprise.

It's just that they're extremely excited.

They're reading Terry Pratchett 's Guards! Guards!

A book that features a giant dragon swooping off the tallest tower in the great city of Anhk Morpork.

They are quoting the book constantly

"The shape that looked like a large pair of wings unfurling was, in fact, a large pair of wings unfurling."

All the time

"Dragons don’t have friends! The nearest they can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive!"

Little girls, wandering through the tourist attractions of midtown Manhattan, like

"A people united can never be ignited!"

With such enthusiasm

"This is going to be the world's first democratically killed dragon! One man, one stab!

I love them so much, I'm so proud, I picked the right partner, we made the best possible kids
