#this event encouraged me to start using fancasts and stop relying on show scenes

[aboveallarescuer]

I have to say, what made this Daenerys event so exciting and special to me in particular was the abundance of wonderful content made by book!Dany fans for book!Dany fans.

We received three gorgeous edits of Dany's book outfits!!!!!

We received four GLORIOUS gifsets (ALL of them!!!) of Dany's battle plans in Yunkai and Meereen!!!!! (As far as I can tell, there wasn't any for the Meereen strategy aside from a crappy one that I'd made, while the Yunkai plan was quoted before in captions, but was never the focus of the edit.)

We received three gifsets featuring the scene in which Dany visits and looks after the Astapori refugees!!!!! (I’m particularly happy about this one because, as far as I know, there was only one edit featuring this scene until this year. But then I used it for three crappy gifsets and commissioned an amazing fanart of it AND THEN Dany month happened)

We received five gifsets showing the moment in which Dany refuses to wash Hizdahr's feet if he doesn't wash hers first!!!!! (I think there was only one until this event)

We received the best Dany/Mirri Maz Duur edit of all time!!!!!

We received Dany/Daario edits that highlight how their relationship brings out Dany’s romantic and sweet side, as well as her dreams of home and love!!!!! I don't remember any similar one until now.

We received a gifset of the scene in which Dany jokes about how a firmer, stronger butt is what a good king needs!!!!! Now we have a gifset AND a fanart of this moment, I'm soooo happy about this!!!!!

We received a Jorah critical gifset!!!!!! It was about time, lol.

We received beautiful (and ACCURATE) edits about Dany's personality traits!!!!!

We received two gifsets with Dany fancasts riding the silver!!!!!

We received a gifset of Doreah's final moments!!!!!

We received a gifset of Dany sending a healer to take care of Belwas's wounds!!!!! AKHSJKSJO!!!!

We received a gifset of the scene at the end of ASOS highlighting how much Dany enjoys to read books as a hobby!!!!!

We received an edit showing that Dany pays attention to pickpockets on the streets because she's "no pampered lady"!!!!!

We received a fully comprehensive meta about Dany's intelligence and skills!!!!!

We received a gifset of the scene at the end of ADWD in which Dany realizes on her own that the locusts had been poisoned and that someone had tried to murder her!!!!!!

We received gifsets showcasing Dany's cast of supporting characters (most of whom - aside from Missandei and maybe Jorah - are wayyyy too often overlooked by the fandom) with excellent fancasts!!!!!

We received a gifset of the scene in which Dany laughs about Quentyn's "transformation" from frog to prince at court!!!!!

We received a gifset of Dany and Missandei's interaction at the end of ADWD Dany VIII!!!!!

We received beautiful gifsets showing how Dany is beloved by her people and seen as a symbol of hope!!!!!

We received two gifsets of Dany and Egg's parallels!!!!! They had never been giffed before, despite the two having some obvious similarities.

We received edits with unique concepts!!!!!

I probably forgot about other great edits and posts, sorry... But I'm writing this in a hurry and wanted to mention some of the highlights of the month for me, personally.

idk whether the amount of participation in this event was high or low because I'd never joined one before, but this one was a success for me regardless of that. The love, care and attention to book!Dany's character and storyline was really, really evident in every single day!

Ahhhh, I love Daenerys Targaryen!!!!! I love the Dany fandom!!!!! I love my fandom friends (this month was even more special to me because I talk to five of the people who regularly posted content, so I know how clever, talented and kind they are)!!!!! I can’t stop gushing about this event and all the content we got, I feel so incredibly grateful for it. <33333
