i think dany is too nuanced a character for most people, because they cannot grasp the duality of dany being both the truest targaryen in power and magic, and being the only the one to materially fight old valyria's legacy and reshape old targaryen oppressive values.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

redefined the targaryen name, ethos, and paradigm through her actions. targaryen men needed to die for her to rule *as* a targaryen queen, not as an anti-targaryen or as a consort.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

embedded in, be it the free cities, dothraki, qarth, slaver's bay, or eventually westeros. it's the same with the noble houses, including house targaryen. dany can be the true targaryen queen and conqueror and be an abolitionist revolutionary simultaneously because she has

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

and let's be clear here that dany will reject the paradigm of all the noble houses. this isn't harry potter. targaryens aren't slytherin, starks aren't gryffindor, tullys aren't hufflepuff, etc. dany takes the good and rejects the bad from every place and culture she is

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

dany being perhaps the truest targaryen around, her rediscovering the esoteric knowledge the targaryens lost, her reclaiming the power targaryen women lost, is not the antithesis of her political and ideological values. if anything, her new targaryen paradigm contrasts the old.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

why is dany the only one who must reject her family in its entirety, or die if she doesn't (to "end" their legacy), despite being the embodiment of the house, but the other characters can take pride in their houses and words and ancestors?

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

if we can see starks and lannisters admire their ancestors regardless of what bad people they may have been, and even admire targaryens of the past, then why is there this purity requirement enforced against dany, who cites her blood of the dragon to strengthen herself?

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

dany's rejection of the patriarchal male targaryen paradigm & the old valyrian blood supremacy is contrasted with her positive reframing of targaryen words and values to enact revolution, build institutions, and usher in change.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

dany isn't just a good person because she wasn't raised around them, and she isn't a good person because she allegedly hates them, she's a good person because she uses her heritage, power, family name, and family words, to effectuate change and put her people first.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

weapons of war or political tools. dany's parallels with her family and her embrace of their words only highlights how much better she is than them. distancing her from her family undermines how she surpasses them.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

the difference between dany and her ancestors isn't that she wholesale rejects their values, aesthetics, or power, it's that she uses her power to do good, and puts the people first. she also treats dragons as her children, as natural creatures part of the ecosystem, rather than

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

she's named after princess daenerys of dorne. she succesfully pulls off what aegon iii and aegon v couldn't, bringing dragons back.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

who is often associated with rhaegar as his sister and de facto heir both politically and magically, is not the "anti-targaryen." she is seeking to reconquer westeros out of her duty to her family. she names viserys iii a king who never ruled.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

who has four dragon dreams and successfully interprets three of them to hatch the dragons, who brings dragons and magic back to the world, who is the "daughter, bride, and mother of dragons," the "bride of fire,"

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

who word for word recites the same lesson about a queen needing to listen to all her people that alysanne does, who loves dragonstone so much she names a hill after it and has the connection to it that all targaryens do,

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

dany, who constantly ponders what aegon i and rhaegar would do (and is compared to them by multiple people throughout the novels), who names ships after the conquest dragons, who cites jaehaerys i & daeron i so often that her ghiscari courtiers know about them,

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

we're talking about a dany who is the mother of dragons, who is "reborn in blood and fire" and reclaims fire and blood in her second rebirth, who is "fire made flesh" and bonds a dragon without a whip, dragon binder/horn, or a saddle.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

most people genuinely do not understand the nuances of dany's character. dany is "the dragon queen who wears her name, a true targaryen." in as much as dany is far better than, and surpasses, her ancestors, she also embodies their power to a degree they never could.

[navya | but i will never leave you ✨ @yanmingtings]

"dany would hate all the targaryens" "dany is the least targaryen of the targaryens" and we're talking about the only targaryen in history who wears a crown shaped like the sigil of the house, who is a parent to three dragons, and who can command three wild dragons

[mar🐚 fire walk with me @satorustormborn]

targ antis who pretend to like dany (they actually don’t) want her to hate her family so badly😭
