She’s slaughtered a city …
And yet I can not be more proud of my Queen. Because when I think of Daenerys Targaryen, I think of all her history, her life, the weight of a whole House to restore, the heavy legacy of having to give grandeur and dignity to the Targaryen House, I do not think only of the last two episodes .
I think of everything we have not seen, all those years where she suffered just because she was called Daenerys Targaryen. Imagine being a child and having to run for your life, be hungry, and have nothing in your possession.
Imagine growing up dreaming of the glory of your House, imagining what it could have been to grow up in a Princess, in a dungeon, with servants, imagine all these dreams for a little girl, and imagine that once an adult with three dragons you can finally realize these dreams, but you will never be able to recover your stolen years.
Imagine all these dreams, all these hopes, reduced to nothing by an abusive brother, who sells you for an army … Who threatens you to let thousands of men and horses rape you for this army …
Imagine finding a little joy and power in your misery, to be still tearing off your hands. To lose a husband, a child, to be alone in the world. Just a people who are counting on you to take care of them. A duty to keep them safe. Nothing else than that in the world and also three dragons, still too small to protect you.Knowing that, if in your misfortune, you could come out of a funeral pyre without any injuries, with three baby dragons from stone eggs …. Knowing the mythical story of your family, would you feel not special?
She was ready to die in this pyre, and yet she stands up even stronger. But why ? Why does she have such peculiarities when her brother was nothing? Is she not made for a greater destiny? After all this suffering, having resisted the fire, having hatched three dragons, would you not think that you are special? That you have a bigger goal in life?
She then lead her people, and now begins a crusade to acquire armies powerful enough to restore the greatness of her family, and recover her home.
And in her quest to restore her home, she also decides that she will no longer see anyone enslaved by another. That wherever she goes, no one will know the fate she has known. Because no one should be deprived of their freedom. She delivers slaves and offers them the choice to follow her, by conviction, or to find a pleasant life for them, helping them with gold, boats to start this new life.
She is a Goddess among the little people in Essos, no other leader offered what she offered. She is a light in the darkness for these people, imagine being chained by others … Being deprived of this freedom is a terrible thing.
She cruelly punishes the masters of slaves because if she is not, they will be even more cruel, they do not understand offers of peace, Tyrion had try, they became even more violent … Daenerys understood at once that it was impossible to deal with these people, and that only a demonstration of her power would change things.
She responds to injustice by justice. Because in this world, in this medieval and patriarchal society, she must be firm towards these monsters. And her status as a woman weakens her even more, in this world she can not show weakness, otherwise she will be quickly murdered …(Like Ned Stark)
She will unfortunately show weakness, loving and trusting a man who will sink a knife in her heart by surprise.
She fought not to live this for a long time, she struggled to find a place in a world of men, she fought to acquire enough power to no longer have to fear the knives. And she succeeds … Until Westeros, until Jon Snow …
Until she lost everyone she loved.
After such an impressive trip, so beautiful because of its message to minorities and their right to live free and equal to others, she dies like this?
After massacring a city? Kill innocents?
You have murdered her character.
So yes, I can not be more proud of my Queen and her journey, no matter the end, she shines, she proves that power was not always use for negative purposes, she proves that she was able to use it to help people. I will not stop and judge her on the last two episodes that have absolutely no logical sense, none!
And I will certainly not forget everything she did during her trip.
Queen Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen,
Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men,
Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms,
Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea,
An icon, a legend, a goddess, a hope.
We will never forget you.
