The wildest part is Dany fans act like Season 8 invented Mad Dany. She was RIGHT THERE in Season 1.
Girl watched her brother get gold melted on his head and said "He was no dragon. Fire cannot kill a dragon." No tears. No trauma. Just vibes.
Season 3: Crucifies 163 Masters without trial. Some of them were against slavery. Didn't care. "Justice."
Season 4: Locks her dragons in a basement and cries when they don't love her.
Season 5: Feeds a random Meereenese noble to her dragons because she’s angry. Drogon is literally eating a guy she isn't sure is guilty and she watches.
Season 6: Burns an entire Dothraki temple with everyone inside because they didn't respect her.
The pattern was NEVER "I want to free people." The pattern was "I want people to kneel, and if they kneel for a good reason, I will call it freedom."
We didn't ignore red flags. We just thought dragons made red flags look pretty.
Aegon the Conqueror had the same hair. We don't call him a liberator. We call him what he was: a man with bigger lizards than everyone else.
Dany didn't snap. She finally found a city that wouldn't kneel. And she did what she always did to cities that wouldn't kneel.
I think for my birthday this year I’m going to rent out a karaoke bar and invite everyone and then I will perform for a full hour and nobody else is allowed to sing.
