You Can Never Be Mine | Chapter 11

Outside Jon’s door, Dany was almost reluctant to knock, afraid she might be disturbing him from his much-needed sleep. Certainly, the sun would be up before long, and he would need to be down at the docks before then, but if he were anything like her, he was still wide awake. Nymeria had only just fallen asleep, after Dany had pressed a damp washcloth to her daughter’s tear-swollen eyes for some relief, but Dany had not been able to join her in sleep.

Still, she was desperate to see Jon, however briefly. She quietly tapped her finger against the door, in case Torrhen was asleep, as she hoped. She held her breath and waited, ready to tap on the door once more when it finally cracked open. Jon’s face appeared, and at the sight of her, he opened it wider, shoulders sagging.

“Dany,” he murmured, and with that one word somehow he managed to say everything. She smiled, just a quick flicker of her mouth.

“Torrhen?” she asked, keeping her voice low. Jon shifted so she could see past him. On his bed, her son was fast asleep.

“He went down pretty easily after a couple stories. I’m afraid I don’t have Old Nan’s flair for the dramatic, though,” he said, chagrined. Her smile widened, her heart tender with emotion. If she wasn’t careful, she’d start crying again. “Do you want to take him back to your room?”

“No, let him sleep, if you don’t mind. You can bring him back before you have to leave for the docks.”

“Aye, I don’t mind.” When she glanced back to him, his face turned grave. “Nymeria?” he asked, apprehensive.

“That was less easy,” she admitted, hand gripping the door jamb. “But she knows now. About you.”

His throat constricted with a hard swallow, and his hand fluttered on the door handle with uncertainty. “Should I…does she want to speak with me?”

Dany winced in sympathy. “Not just yet, Jon. Let her rest tonight. Even then…she might not be ready for a while.”

His face fell. “She didn’t take it well, then.”

“Did you?” she asked in gentle reminder.

Read it on AO3. Thank you!

a song of ice and fire doesn’t translate well to screen because you miss the joy of seeing cersei spend an entire chapter thinking about how smart she is before making the stupidest decisions possible

#*blows the dust off this blog* #hi #i wouldn't say im back but it hurts less to think about this stupid series now #so i guess ill continue to be salty for the rest of my life

oh cool cool can’t wait to go through the gaslighting of why Dany was always the villain and why we were always wrong to root for her all over again when the DVD + commentary come out, love that for us

[madreofdragons]

D&D: Okay, Daenerys is the villain now and we don’t want her to be sympathetic anymore. So, we need you to create scary villain music for her.

Ramin: Villain music. Evil. Got it.

Ramin: *composes 12 volumes of tribute albums dedicated to Dany’s heroics and greatness*

D&D: DAMMIT, RAMIN!!!!

Ramin: What? I did exactly what I heard you say. I don’t know why you’re mad.

Emilia after being asked what to expect from Season 8:

[madreofdragons]

“It’s Game of Thrones, what did you expect?”

A well-written script

No character assassination

No shock value

Ending arcs in a meaningful way

Respectful towards the lore and GRRM’s work

[madreofdragons]

What….

They changed it the last minute..

#she looks like shes expecting in the first pic.. #what the heck lmao

Daenerys Targaryen appreciation 55/-

Do you ever sit down and think about how Daenerys life was a cycle of violence? From her conception to her death?

Or that the first time we were introduced to Daenerys she was being abuse by her brother and the last time we saw her she was killed by her nephew? The only two family members she lived to see?

Or about no matter how much good you try to do or how much you achieve it will be viewed negatively and you’re destined to be a bad person because of your family history? Ultimately, you’ll be broken from carrying the burden of parent’s sin?

Or that the only one of the key characters that didn’t have a healthy familial relationship or a home was villainized in the end?

This was Daenerys arc and the message is utterly disheartening. If that was how her story was always meant to end then at the very least George should’ve given her a stable childhood.
