Like their dragons, Targaryens answered to neither gods nor men.

D A E M O N   T A R G A R Y E N   —   Dreams didn't make us kings. Dragons did.

✦ @booksociety​’s Kings and Queens event: A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin The sun had set for good and all. The stench of death was growing stronger, despite the scented candles.The smell reminded Jaime Lannister of the pass below the Golden Tooth, where he had won a glorious victory in the first days of the war. On the morning after the battle, the crows had feasted on victors and vanquished alike, as once they had feasted on Rhaegar Targaryen after the Trident.

Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell they’re all just spokes on a wheel. This ones on top, then that ones on top and on and on it spins crushing those on the ground. I’m not going to stop the wheel, I’m going to break the wheel.

RHAENYRA TARGARYEN in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — 1.02 “The Rogue Prince” — 1.10 “The Black Queen”

Incompetence should not be rewarded with blind loyalty. As long as I have my eyes, I’ll use them. I wasn’t born into a great house, I came from nothing. I was sold as a slave and carved up as an offering. When I was a child, I lived in alleys, gutters, abandoned houses. You wish to know where my true loyalties lie? Not with any king or queen, but with the people.  ★  s t o r m b o r n

The Targaryens are the blood of the dragon, descended from the high lords of the ancient Freehold of Valyria, their heritage proclaimed in a striking (some say inhuman) beauty, with lilac or indigo or violet eyes and hair of silver-gold or platinum white.

“The only way to keep your people loyal is to make certain they fear you more than they do the enemy”

I am Sansa Stark of Winterfell. This is my home. And you can’t frighten me.

Lemon cake’s my favorite. So we’ve been told.

female awesome meme: 2/5 female characters who are unfairly hated ♡ daenerys targaryen “So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.”

Ser Kevan could not remember ever seeing his niece so quiet, so subdued, so demure. All for the good, he supposed. But it made him sad as well. Her fire is quenched, she who used to burn so bright.
