THEON GREYJOY / @reekcd !
“The end of the world is not what I am
looking for.”
Though he wasn’t entirely sure what he was seeking out. A place of belonging, perhaps. But more… a purpose. A way to set right the wrongs he had caused. Instead, what he’d found was this young queen. Little more than a girl, and yet she had inspired so many to follow her, to reclaim what they had lost. Perhaps she might be able to do the same for him.
He blinked, remaining still for the moment, almost concerned before she finished her sentence, and even he had to laugh.
“Perhaps it was. Did it offend Your Grace–?”
❛ and what is it you are looking for ? ❜ Dany wonders out loud . ❛ so many come asking me for gold , for marriage , for influence . they come looking for vengeance . you have asked for nothing like that . ❜ and yet he would deserve any part of it , from the looks of him .
when she joins him in laughter , her giggle is as high and sweet as the bells that chime in her hair . ❛ yes ! i am so terribly offended ! ❜ she chides him with sarcasm for the silly question , and throws a tangerine slice at him for good measure !

FOR ONCE HE WISHES TO KNOW
WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SERVE WITH
HONOUR
He was born a knight and thus he must die a knight. He has never known love other than the love he finds in serving a monarch. There is no one more respected and feared than him. All his life he had hoped that he could serve that one great monarch, that one ruler that was worthy of his protection. The mad king was not that ruler. He held high hopes that he could be cured of his illness, but the years made him worse and the only hope the kingdom had was in his son, a man he was proud to call his prince, his friend and in time his king.
YET IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE
The seven gods could be cruel. How the rebellion started mattered little, he was sworn to protect the prince and the king and he did so to the best of his abilities. Yet even he could not protect them both from themselves. They both died in that war and he should have died with them, but instead he was pardoned by the stag and given his same position. He had hoped that this new king would be worthy, that he could heal the kingdoms and be a man worthy of protecting.
YET IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE
Robert was a knight, he was not a king. He bleed the kingdoms dry and he sat on the iron throne for twenty years, eating and drinking and fucking everything around him. He was not a king. As strong as he was, as respected as he was, the stag never trusted the elder knight and that lack of trust resulted in his death. If he had only trusted Ser Barristan Selmy, if he had only allowed him a seat on the council and advice, then maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe he could have become a better man, a better king, but instead the lions dug there claws into him when he was no longer needed and tore him to piece. Ser Barristan Selmy had hoped that Robert son, a young boy would be a better king.
YET IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE
He was insulted. He was stripped bare before the royal court. Mocked for failing to protect a king who could not be protected. He was given no respect and he was cast out. Ser Barristan Selmy was meant to die in serve to a ruler. The boy had surrounded himself with cutthroats and thugs, a kings guard they were not, it was laughable that even in his later years he could have killed the five golden knights in a blink of an eye. He knew he would never find a ruler worthy in the kingdoms, so he left – searching for the true heir to the throne – the last dragon.
“Daenerys Targaryen…” The elder commented, pulling back the dark hood that hide his features. It took him over a year to find her. To travel the narrow sea and walk the journey she had walked. To experience the hardships she had experienced. The kings he served – could never have survived what she had – she was a true ruler – a queen worth dying for.
she is , to look at , more a child than a Queen . more a child than a mother . the only myth about her that is proving true would be the silver in her name , mirroring the silver of her hair , flecked with gold as the sun danced off each strand . her eyes were closed , arms raising upwards as if to block the pain of the Scorpian’s tail that never came . Jorah is at her side , helping her to her feet , but it was not Jorah who’d stopped the creature from poisoning her .
❛ my Lord... you have saved my life , ❜ truly , she does not know if this old man is Lord or no , but after a deed such as this , she is offering him the upmost kindness . he moves quick for an old man , quick for any man : her eyes did not follow him . her Bloodriders had rushed to try and capture the Magi , but her attention is solely focused on the man when he speaks her name . not her titles , not the words the people of Essos call her , but her true name .
❛ ------ you know me ? ❜
in her voice there is nothing of her father . no madness or expectation . there are not many who don’t , she realises , and how silly she must have sounded . but he must know what she means : her knows her family , he knows her Westerosi given name . beside her , Jorah stiffens as he holds her too long , and she turns her chin up to look up at her bear .
❛ you know this man ? ❜ why does she feel as if she is the last to find something out ? she waits , for someone to explain .

SANSA STARK / @hiddensteel !
starter call || @toashcs.
❝ why don’t we rewrite the stars? ❞ OPTIMISM fought to hold onto her words even though she knew the targaryen queen could turn her away without a care. if madness truly flowed through her veins then she wouldn’t care who she had to burn in order to reclaim what she deemed HERS. but sansa had spent much time in the company of mad rulers; she hoped her eyes did not d e c e i v e her when they didn’t notice a similar look in the dragon queen’s eyes.
song || rewrite the stars - the greatest showman
❛ and what story would you have us write , my Lady ? ❜ there is a playfulness in the Queen’s tone that does not mirror the voice she had kept for court , when the two had first met . the Westerosi is proving difficult to read . she has tentative eyes , watching Dany as if she’s waiting for something , searching for it . but she is close in age to the Queen herself ; and Dany has had little luck with maids her own age , never mind those from her homeland . what does she make of me , Dany wonders , what is it she wants ?
Jorah told her the Westerosi play such games , and rarely say what they want . she is unsure she wants to join in with such games .

KOUEN REN / @wangdejian !
“YOU KEEP LOOKING at me like that —— eyes threatening to cut and carve my face.” He drew his hand out of the hearth fire. His fingers splayed. Not a speck of ashen black on his skin, however the flames gnawed at him. This night, Hóngyán felt cold, shivering from the yearning of distant homelands, of jade palaces and smoky incense; not the pyramids and perfumes. It startled him that the silver queen peered at him like a creature from tales that frightened children to sleep. “I didn’t lie to you then, and I do not lie to you now.” He, who was once the ‘ Flame Emperor, ’ the red lion-dog, gave her a polite but curt bow. “Dragons aren’t the only ones who drink fire.”
@toashcs
she is well aware of the way she watches him , but where her emotions are usually kept from her face for the purposes of court , in private , she is anything but stoic , anything but regal . she does not understand : and she’s suspicious . but she can’t bring herself to send him away .
❛ it is not my eyes that’ll cut you , but the arakh’s of my men . ❜ she sighs , though . for she knows she shan’t have her men do a thing to him . he is no liar , nor has he threatened her . Dany’s shoulders slump forward as she inclines closer , silver hair slipping o’er her shoulder . ❛ i just... I don’t understand . the fire does not kill me , but it burns still . ❜ it had burned her hair , and her hands . the unburnt was something of a mythical alias . she had read of Sorcerors in Valyria who could stand in fire and not be burned at all , but that is magic she knows nothing of . ❛ do you have Valyrian blood ? ❜ though the young Queen does not sound sure of her own question .
perhaps it is the Valyrians who shared blood with the people of Yi Ti . she remembers a dream , where a hundred gemstone Emperors spoke to her .

HEADCANONS / WHAT YOU HEAR ABOUT DANY
so . hey guys . i wanted to make this post just to go over a few things that characters are likely to have heard that can frame what they think about Dany before they meet her . of course weather they find these things terrifying , amusing , intriguing or know that they’re likely lies is up to you and what type of person your muse is .
it’s quite common i’ve found for people to approach Dany having heard tales of wonderful dragons and dutiful , selfless acts . or simply not knowing anything at all . but these two things aren’t so realistic . information always spreads ! and it’s usually the worst rumours that do spread . so let’s do this .
having said that , in Westeros your character likely won’t have heard anything of Dany unless you’re on the Small Council . i am not show based and apart from AU verses Dany has not yet reached Westeros and information about her has not yet reached most parts of Westeros . the Targaryen your character has likely heard of would be Aegon .
the rumours about Dany spread by her enemies are all the usual things thrown at powerful women , mirrored by tales about Danelle and Sheira . on the show , when she feeds the nobleman to Rhaegal and Viserion ? that’s actually a hyperbolic rumour spread in the books . tales of what Dany is willing to let her dragons do are likely rife for your character to have heard .
The Yunkai'i claimed that she fed her dragons on human flesh and bathed in the blood of virgins to keep her skin smooth and supple.
there’s rumours about her beauty , to be sure , but they come with rumours about false promiscuity and exaggerated fetishism . likely spread by men who can’t have her or jealous Graces . figures in power need something to make fun of .
“One of her captains comes of a line where the men have foot-long members,” he told them, “but even he’s not big enough for her. She rode with the Dothraki and grew accustomed to being fucked by stallions, so now no man can fill her.”
the biggest insult to me is this idea put forward in the show that everyone hears of her good deeds and bar one - or - two protagonists they all fall down at her feet to worship . they think she is the second coming or something . that’s more a reader thing because we know what she has been through and how she thinks . her good deeds are the last thing people are likely to hear because the common folk and freed men who actually like her are less capable of writing letters or quickly spreading information as the nobles and Masters who hate her , and the information they spread would make anyone distrustful and afraid .
“Her khal killed her brother to make her queen. Then she killed her khal to make herself khaleesi. She practices blood sacrifice, lies as easily as she breathes, turns against her own on a whim. She’s broken truces, tortured envoys … her father was mad too. It runs in the blood.”
there are also rumours of Dany being only a girl who knows nothing , easily swayed , easily tricked . and rumours of her ruthlessness that go completely counter to this . basically anything you can imagine ! so have fun with it !

DANY IS A PRECIOUS BEAN WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG EVER SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or
DANY IS A TERRIBLE CONQUEROR WHO OPPRESSES EVERYONE AND IS SECRETLY GOING MAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but have you considered
DANY IS A FLAWED HUMAN CHARACTER WHO IS FAR TOO YOUNG TO DEAL WITH ALL SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH AND WHO IS RAISED ON THE NOTION THAT TO GO HOME TRULY SHE MUST TAKE HER HOME BACK AND WHO’S GOOD INTENTIONS ARE PURE BUT WHO’S ACTIONS MAY NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE BEST CONSEQUENCES DUE TO A NAIVITY AND LACK OF EXPERIENCE THAT SHE IS TRYING TO OVERCOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but for show Dany being entitled as shit and burning everyone and feeding innocent folk w / o trials to her dragons like the Yunkai’i actually lie about her doing in the books......................
yeah i got nothing .

VISERYS TARGARYEN / @gclden !
HOW HAD HE RAISED HER TO BE SO UNGRATEFUL . after all he ‘ d done for her she couldn ‘ t even get him a bloody bottle ? “ does it matter ? do you look to replace our mother now that you ‘ ve KILLED her ? go get your water . enough to drown you in , ” he snarled . he didn ‘ t mean it . for all of the harsh words , he did love her — but misery loves company and he had enough misery to fill an ocean .
perhaps , had he been a better man , he would have sought to hold her , to praise her &. show her that he was , truly , still capable of love . but he was NOT a better man .
when he speaks those words her violet eyes widen . the assumption had always been in her mind : had i killed her , was it my fault ? but when put it words it stung like a new and open wound .
she wants to tell him that he shouldn’t say such things , but she worries that if she were to open her mouth instead of words , only sobs would escape her .
she gripped the bottle tighter and turned away from him , eyelids slamming down , tightly shut as she tries to hide her tears from him . she rushes from the room , laying the bottle down upon a bench and fetching instead a jug of water with slices of lemon . not enough water to drown her : no , but her tears would do that just as well . she could feel them burning her cheeks as they fell . she is aware she must return to him , now , tear - stained face and all . he has a way of making even her attempts at help feel wrong . but she must ignore it , for she can’t leave him drunken to pass out and choke on his own tongue .
so she returns to him , carrying her jug of water and offering it up to him , before wiping her face .

VISERYS TARGARYEN / @gclden !
“ LIES . ” he barked , taking another drink from the near - empty bottle in his hand . he was losing her - losing control of her - &. he couldn ‘ t bear it . “ you only stay because you know damn well you would die on your own . ”
he shook his head , stringy locks - damp with sweat - bounced with the motion &. clung to his cheek . he was SICK &. TIRED of not being good enough . he was done .
he shoved the now - empty bottle in her face . “ you want to be a good sister for once ? get me another bottle ”
belatedly he remembered why he was so wasted in the first place . it was the anniversary of his mother ‘ s death . he forgot , however , that it was also his sister ‘ s birthday .
when he barks , she backed away swiftly , letting more fear shine in her violet eyes that she’d have liked .
name - days she did not relish . every year , all they brought were sadness . no matter Viserys’ mood the day prior , even during the years where he were less focused on gathering his army and more focused on giving her piggy - back rides down cobbled side - streets he would suddenly turn sour , upon this day . she knows what it means : the day their mother died . her fault , she thinks , and the day only carries painful guilt .
a moment ago she would have done anything to cheer him , to quell his anger and sooth his pain . but when she finds only the bottle in her hands , Daenerys can’t bring herself to do as he asks . he’s sweating , she thinks , he’s only drinking to dull the pain . is this my fault , too ?
❛ how much have you had to drink ? don’t you think it enough ? ❜ Dany asks , trying to keep her voice soft and even . she wouldn’t mean to tell him what to do . ❛ i... could fetch you fresh water , instead . ❜ she insists , trying still to be helpful .

okay but every two - bit sellsword or nobleman who gives Dany a shitty comment about how they’re gonna’ break her or how she’s a whore or how xyz blah - blah - blah... she’s just casually smiling like BITCH YOU THOUGHT . I’M A KHALEESI . I’VE RODE WITH THE DOTHRAKI NOTHING COMPARES . her brother all ready made far worse threats , and she’s laid with Drogo outside under the stars in front of a hundred eyes . she has no shame or embarrassment about nudity , sex , insults .

*touch her face gently*
she can not help the girlish smile that comes , fleeting , across her features as she leans her head to one side , soft cheek leaning in against his hand , looking for affection . ❛ you commit treason so freely , ❜ she warns him softly , yet she makes no move to chide him nor to ask him to stop . as she brushes against his fingertips the bells in her braids chime softly , as clear and high as her playful jab .

THEON GREYJOY / @reekcd !
It was not the sort of question he had expected. But it was far more welcome than many others she could have asked– why had he betrayed the Starks, who was he truly loyal to, or worst of all, what had really happened to him. So he shook his head, the slightest hint of a smile curling on his lips– the most he ever smiled, these days.
“No. No one does. The Ironborn had many
stories and songs about it, though. Some
say it leads to the very edge of this world.”
she had given him quarters a few levels down from her own , with fine silks and an open balcony overlooking the docks and guards to watch his door . despite his quarms she’d sought out a healer for old wounds , just to fend off any infection . and now they sat together looking out to the ocean .
❛ and yet it is east you travelled , not west . ❜ a curious thing , Dany thinks . it makes her wonder what it is he is seeking : but he is certainly not running away . ❛ hold still , was that a smile i saw ? ❜ Dany twists , smiling up at him in wonder . that had to be the first smile she’d seen on his face .

she could not say that Viserys had never hurt her , but it still surprises her how the most damage is always done with words . he wields them as daggers and ever knows where to strike . ❛ Viserys , you are my brother . my blood . i will always care , i swear it . please ------ i’m sorry ! ❜ he had always taken care of her , she did not like to think she were letting him down in turn . ❛ what can i do ? ❜
