Westeros under King Bran the Broken has a dark future, and Iâm here for it. The only ones who won are the privileged.
âshe is the queen we chose.â
and we will remember her as such.
Bronn is Master of Coin.....BRONN....
And what was his line in the small council again, âthe strong will live and the weak will dieâ? Well if that doesnât expertly foreshadow what the future holds for the poor people of the Reach and Westeros, then I donât know what does.
Daenerys was the lucky one apparently.
Theyâre really having an entire speech explaining Daenerysâ descent into madness to make up for the lack of on-screen set-up and development that lead to her to that moment
And such a nice speech it is, twisting everything to make it seem as if her madness was expertly foreshadowed. Seems like D&D spent a couple minutes on an anti-Dany thread on reddit.

REBLOG if you have amazing, talented WRITER friends.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
man I really loved tonights episode
that scene where Jaime kills Cersei in the throne room with his Nedâs Valyrian steel, claiming justice on behalf of the Starks and fulfilling Maggy the Frogâs prophecy? or when Cersei stabbed him with a knife and he staggered forward and collapsed on the Iron Throne, mirroring when he killed the Mad King? i especially loved when Daenerys walks in and sees his corpse sitting there and understands what he did.
and the part where Sandor cuts of the Mountainâs head and leaves his body burning? talk about symbolism! iâm especially glad that they didnât kill Sandor off unnecessarily. i also really liked how he lost his eye in the fight and used the strip of cloth to bind it and how it made him look just like Beric.
that part where Grey Worm stopped the Northmen from killing the unarmed Lannister soldiers was really cool too. you could see how conflicted he was about it, but he knew he couldnât lose himself to hate. i knew he wouldnât betray Missandeiâs memory.
i was certainly concerned about Daenerys throughout the episode, but she really came through in the end. when she realized that Cersei had hidden casks of wildfire around the city and knew that she couldnât risk the lives of the civilians with her dragonfire. and how she instead flew straight to the Red Keep to take the fight directly to Cersei? really really good.
when Arya saw Gendry across the battlefield and tried to maker it to him but was being held back by the crowds? that was incredible. and how he could hear her scream his name over the noise of the battle and ran towards her voice even when he couldnât see her? i canât wait to see them reunite in the next episode.
Take notes D&D, this is what a âplotâ is. See how it makes sense? See how it builds and neatly ties up character arc?
I wish this is what weâd gotten.
How do you ruin a show this badly?
#NotMyGameOfThrones
To be honest, Dany isnât my fave. Sheâs like my Unfave.
But I can still recognise bad writing when I see it.
Right? I liked Dany at the very beginning, and then justâŠjust no. I never wanted her in Westeros or on the Iron Throne. But this? The show is doing her dity, and so help me, Iâm writing fix-it fic for the poor woman, from her POV, because this cannot stand. Honestly, Iâm feeling more for her right now than for any of my faves (as in THE STARKS) because theyâre just distored beyond recognition, and the most relatable character is Dany who just faces loss after loss after rejection after rejection. And then weâre supposed to go: âYeah, sheâs Madâą and not fit for the ITâ??? Fuck this.
It really frustrates me how easily her whole lifeâs work and focus and EVERYTHING SHE EVER LIVED FOR is dismissed, and so lightly - by the very same people to whom she has sacrificed so much. Yes, she is aiming for the throne and doesnât want to rule over corpses, so of course it was serving her interests as well to fight the Night King.Â
Yet she could have deemed it as a secondary interest and get the throne first by attacking Cersei, whatever the cost (unpopularity of the masses and an unstable start of her rule). But she didnât. And now she has lost half her army, two of her children, her best friend and confidante - and looks like sheâll be losing her lover and her claim to the throne as well.
Is it understandable that she is pissed off? Bloody hell it is!
Dany is not one of my favorite characters, but I respect her character and what she stands for. It makes me sick to my stomach what the writers have done to her by framing her (and pretty much every woman in power) as crazy and dangerous. With Dany, they are turning this up to an 11. Her whole lifeâs work from being abused and sold into slavery, birthing dragons (a GD miracle), and making it her mission to free other oppressed people. Her people are a mix of different groups who choose to follow her because of what she stands for. Her story is realistic in that it shows that good governance is hard and sometimes there are no good answers. Sheâs made mistakes and learned from them, but her goal is always to achieve the throne and to end this system of oppression, in Essos and Westeros. What she has dealt with in this story is beyond what any human being should be expected to endure and remain placable.
When she learns about the threat of the Others, she postpones her own goals to help Jon in any way she can. Whatever he asked of her, she did. Saved his life and lost one of her children in the process.
Comes North with her armies to help save humanity. Her people are treated with open mistrust as they are foreign and non-white. The racism was pretty well established. She is polite to Sansa and Sansa responds by looking down her nose at her and treating her with disdain. So much for politically smart Sansa. *eye roll*
Itâs her armies that are on the frontlines of WFâs defenses. The Dothraki are slaughtered in front of her. Â
She loses Jorah Mormont, who she cared about deeply. Losing him as a trusted advisor will be a considerable blow later as weâre down to Tyrion and Varys talking treason. Â
Before episode 4, I actually defended Sansa saying that this conflict between them will probably be resolved as Dany shows that she is all-in when it comes to fighting for their cause. Nope. It got worse. Danyâs commitment and sacrifices meant nothing. Sansa and Arya still continue to argue and undermine her at every turn.Â
Some people point out that Sansa had a point about food supplies and giving the army a chance to recuperate. That might have a ring of truth to it, but those arguments were made while again, Sansa was looking down her nose at Dany. It will be confirmed in the godswood scene that both Stark sisters have zero intention of returning any favors to Dany, so we canât act like they had legitimate concerns all along. This hurts because I want Sansa and Arya to be heroes and overcome conflict. I equally hate how theyâve written the Stark sisters. I already had low expectations, but I still want to see a crumb of Nedâs legacy here. About thatâŠ
That godswood scene was awful. Am I supposed to be sympathetic to the Starks? Because they are fucking assholes. Totally dismissive of the sacrifices of Danyâs army. Yeah, yeah, yeah âand weâll never forget them.â Then Arya says Jon did the right thing bending the knee to get those armies and dragons because they needed them, but then she says that Jon shouldnât honor his word and drop Dany like a hot potato because âthey donât trust herâ and âsheâs not one of us.â Wow⊠So the REAL reason behind Arya and Sansaâs mistrust of Dany and want her gone is that they are petty, racist, and xenophobic. Arya was literally just arguing that it was fine to use brown people as meatshields and use Dany personally for her dragons and dragon glass, but now they can all GTFO. Can the Mountain please cut MY head off? This is beyond the pale and disgusting for the narrative to frame the Starks as the ones we should be rooting for while acting like Dany deserves this treatment.
 At the feast, the camera follows Dany looking around the room, and itâs designed to make her look irrationally paranoid. Is it really irrational if sheâs dealing with people who have shown open disdain for her, or wishy-washy loyalties, and who will also end up plotting against her? Â
Was it that irrational that she should have anxieties about Jonâs parentage coming out and how others may use that for their own agendas when that turned out to be 100% true? I donât necessarily blame Jon for telling his sisters, but Jon does not weigh this against the evidence that his sisters could use this information against Dany. Theyâve made no secret of their dislike and wish for them to break up.
That whole conversation between Tyrion and Varys was pure misogyny. Theyâve had conversations like this before where Dany must be controlled by good rational men. While Tyrion has some reservations, he is entertaining this treasonous talk and as Sansa pointed out, as much as he claims to love Dany he is also afraid of her.  Oh yeah, and Sansa told Tyrion the secret with the expressed purpose of supplanting Dany on the IT with Jon. Then Tyrion tells Varys. So this whole subplot of Danyâs last remaining advisors turning against her is painted as reasonable and justified.Â
Another one of her children and her best friend are brutally killed right in front of her.
The narrative clearly lands on the side of Dany being mentally unstable, dangerous, and power hungry.  WtfâŠÂ Sheâs not crazy. Sheâs experiencing NORMAL emotions. Sheâs grieving. Sheâs angry. Sheâs frustrated. Sheâs more determined than ever to remove a real power-hungry tyrant who will slaughter innocent people without blinking. Sheâs surrounded by ungrateful assholes. Sheâs surrounded by people who mean her ill. Sheâs surrounded by people who claim to love and respect her but are actually planning to betray her. Is she supposed to just take all this while remaining perfectly calm and rational, like they think a man would? Â
I was never a Dany fan before, and I donât believe the IT is a good thing, but I canât help it. Iâm rooting for her now. If she gets the same kind of treatment next week, I will hate D&D forever for reducing a real self-sacrificing hero to this. âMad Queenâ my ass.    Â
Show!Starks are villains
I saw a post pointing out that Theon regained the Starks trust even though he sacked Winterfell and killed two orphan children and other people. But for some reason, Dany has never done anything against the Starks, and just saved their lives, but they still donât trust her.
We all know the real reason for this contradiction: bad nonsensical writing. But you know what? Fuck it. I have tried to avoid talking shit about characters, because Iâm not an anti, and because I know very well that this is nothing but bad writing. But the truth is: in the show, they have made the Starks villains. So Iâm going to forget the Doyalist reasons here, and make a full Watsonian analysis, to show why I think this. Also, why I think Daenerys is much more sympathetic than any other character in the show right now.
Dany has proved herself to be a true hero that is willing to sacrifice her ambitions for the good of her people. She agreed to help Jon fight against the Army of the Dead without demanding him to bend the knee when she saw the threat. She knew very well that by the end of the fight against the dead, she could have lost a good part of her power. She knew that she could lose her armies, her dragons, and her chance to claim the Iron Throne, something she fought for half of her life. And not only she could lose her chance of getting the throne, she knew she could lose her life. And yet, she fought. She climbed on a dragon and protected people, even though she knew that if she fell off that dragon, she would be completely defenseless, because she didnât know how to defend herself with a sword. But she took the risk anyway. She was unable to simply watch while her people were slaughtered, and saved many lives because of this. Thanks to her courage and her selflessness, the world was saved. And yes, after the war, she expected loyalty from the Northerners, she expected their help, but only because Jon had decided to bend the knee. If Jon never bent the knee, she would have still fought for the North, because thatâs what she swore to Jon in 7x06. Truth is, Dany didnât demand the Norh to bend the knee anymore, but now that Jon has bent the knee, she rightfully expects them to help her. After all, she has fulfilled her duty of protector of the realm.
But even after that, the Starks donât accept her, and this has nothing to do with trust issues (as pointed out by the hypocrisy of forgiving Theon but refusing to trust Dany). This is about power. The Starks are simply unwilling to put their enmities aside. They are unwilling to let go of their power. They want independence, they want to be the only ones to have control over the North, and they donât want to bow to anyone. They want to keep their xenophobic attitudes of âno outsidersâ. This is what matters to them. So people like Sansa are willing to disregard her brotherâs feelings, only for the North to be independent. Sheâs willing to spark a war by conspiring against Dany and telling Jonâs secrets, completely disregarding the potential loss of human lives that a new civil war between two Targaryens could cause. She makes this whole theatrics of âlet the soldiers restâ, as if sheâs some great leader that cares about people, when in reality she couldnât give a fuck about peopleâs lives, because sheâs willing to spark a war against Dany, for no reason at all (Dany has done nothing for Sansa to think that sheâs untrustworthy or that she needs to be deposed), all because she wants to keep her power, all because of independence (and this independence is for pride and power, nothing else).
Antis talked a lot about how Dany was power hungry. They talked a lot about how Dany should just give up her ambitions for the greater good. And guess what? Dany did it. She gave up her ambitions, she pledged  to fight for the North without them bending the knee. And after the fight, she lost most of her armies. And going North to help, without taking down Cersei first, allowed Cersei to get stronger, and because of that, her dragon and her best friend are dead. All because Dany chose to do the right thing and help the North. Not only that, but after learning about Jonâs parentage, she still saved his life twice. And now her selflessness is coming to bite her in the ass, because if she had let Jon die, there wouldnât be people plotting to put him in her place.
While Dany has shown herself to be completely selfless, at great cost to herself, the Starks have done nothing of the sort. When it was their time to return the favor, they refused to make any self sacrifices, refused to give up on any of their ambitions. They wanted to use Dany for her resources, and then discard her when she wasnât useful anymore. And now they are being asked to set aside their enmities in the name of making peace, but they refuse it and still struggle for power, and Sansa is actively trying to start a civil war.
Samwell Tarly asked Jon Snow this question, about Daenerys Targaryen: âYou gave up your crown to save your people. Would she do the same?â And the answer is yes. She would. But the same canât be said for the Starks. When asked to give up on the Northern crown for the good of their people, and to save all people of Westeros from another civil war, they refused it.
Show!Starks are evil, selfish, power hungry people. They donât care about their people, only about their power. They are xenophobic. And they refuse to show any kindness or warmth or empathy to a woman that saved their lives, a woman that their brother loves (so they donât even care about their brother). Show!Starks are the antithesis of Book!Starks. Book!Starks represent family and unity, honor and empathy, and they care about what really matters. They are the fire against the cold, because their love and goodness goes against the evil and indifference in the world. Show!Starks are the personification of the cold. They refuse to show kindness and empathy, and choose to play the game of thrones. They are the new Lannister, with their mentality of âshe isnât one of usâ.
Daenerys might be going insane after all of the disrespect and traumas and unkindness she endured. But the truth is, while Daenerys might become a villain because of insanity after being pushed too far, the Starks are villains by choice. And that, in my opinion, is worse.
The show has ruined them all.Â

8.03 shouldâve effectively annihilated Mad Queen Dany/Dark Dany theories, and effectively shouldâve ended all the misogynistic critiques of Dany/all the cultish Sansa stansâ hatred of Dany, but of course it didnât.Â
Disclaimer: I love Sansa, but I hate how D&D are writing her this season, and I hope the writing for her improves for the last three episodes because sheâs been quite OOC this season, in my opinion.
First of all, everyone was praising Sansa for being hostile toward Dany & her people from the first episode itself, claiming that Sansaâs right to prioritize Northern independence and to be suspicious of a Targaryen given that the Mad King killed Brandon and Rickard Stark. People particularly lauded Sansa snidely asking how theyâre supposed to feed the Dothraki, the Unsullied, and two dragons, as if thatâs the cleverest thing someone has said on the show. People were acting as if Winterfell was doing Dany a favor by housing her armies.Â
This episode proved quite the opposite: without Dany, Jorah, Greyowrm, Danyâs dragons, and her Dothraki and Unsullied, the North wouldâve fallen quickly, and all the Starks wouldâve died. Dany and her armies were integral to winning the Battle for Winterfell. I canât believe people are still doubting this.Â
The fact that the racist writers sacrificed the lives of nameless Dothraki and Unsulied, all of whom are brown and black, for the sake of racist and xenophobic white northerners who hated them and will probably not even appreciate their sacrifice, is fucking disgusting to me as a brown woman. And this makes Sansaâs hostility even worse. Saying âoh how are we supposed to feed these peopleâ really makes me think that the Northerners just decided to âget ridâ of the food/space problem by sacrificing brown and black bodies and having those brown and black men protect the Northerners with their lives without any worry. So the brown and black Dothraki & Unsullied soldiers arenât good enough to be housed and fed, theyâre not good enough to be treated with some semblance of humanity, theyâre too scary to make eye contact with, but theyâre good enough sacrifices to be the vanguard and to die for the Northerners.Â
By the way, Iâm going to be locking any Northern stan, especially white ones, who justify racism and xenophobia. You can go fuck yourself if you think this was at all acceptable.Â
Missandeiâs response to Sansaâs unnecessary hostility in the crypts was absolutely justified for that reason. Again, Iâve seen people claim that Missandei was defending Dany blindly because sheâs her best friend. Iâm sorry, but itâs really racist to claim that a Black woman has no autonomy or identity of her own outside of her relationship with a white woman (and these are the same people who call Dany a âwhite saviorâ and âimperialistâ, which again as a brown woman I have my legitimate criticisms of the white saviorism in Danyâs storyline, but that criticism doesnât apply here at all). Plus if you canât understand why a Black woman who was enslaved for so long has every right to criticize the rich, powerful white Lady of Winterfell, who enabled and turned a blind eye toward her peopleâs racism and xenophobia, then you need to grow some brain cells. Missandei wasnât just objectively correct; she was fed up with Sansa and the Northâs racism and xenophobia. Out there, her friends were fighting and dying for the same Northerners who sneered at them and refused to talk to them. The man she loved was out there, and she had no idea if he was dead. Her best friend was out there fighting. Her comrades were out there fighting. It was hypocritical of Sansa to bring up hostility when this fight is supposed to be uniting armies against a common enemy that could spell death for everyone in Westeros, and yet Sansaâs attitude was so against that unity. And I think thatâs precisely what set Missandei off - more than just her hostility toward Dany, or her hypocrisy for being in the Crypts while people fought; it was that Missandei was not going to put up with Sansaâs (indirect or direct, you can argue either way) sanctioning of Northern racism while her friends were literally out there dying for those Northerners, when the battle was supposed to unite people against Death itself.Â
Missandei defending Dany thus proves that Dany is not actually going to become a âMad Queenâ. We know full well that Missandei is usually soft spoken and very kind and gentle. That even Missandei got worked up enough to finally put Sansa in her place is very telling of how much Missandei has had to endure while at Winterfell. And this is deliberate: from the moment Missandei and Greyworm stepped foot in Winterfell, they faced hostility. D&D made it a point to show that in 8.01 and 8.02, with racism specifically targeting both of them. D&D also made it a point to have Greyworm and Missandei talk about how there was no place for them at Winterfell. Finally, both of them discussed that the point of showing Northern hostility was to exemplify that the Northerners do have these racist and xenophobic biases. They explicitly pointed this out, so this excuse that the Northerners just âdonât know what Black and brown people look likeâ is ignorant and willfully racist.Â
(Also, for anyone who dares to say that itâs Danyâs fault that the Unsullied and Dothraki were there: you people are so willing to forget everything that happened in the show just to hate Dany. Dany FREED the Unusllied from slavery. And then she ASKED them if they wanted to fight for her. She explicitly said that they were henceforth free, and could leave if they wanted to. She gave them a choice, and they CHOSE to fight for her. Greyworm specifically makes it a point to emphasize that Dany is his queen. Again, disrespecting the autonomy of Black characters is not actually progressive; itâs racist and antiblack, especially considering how few Black and brown characters there are in this series. Dany also asked Missandei if she wanted to stay by her side. She gave them choices, and they chose to follow her. Dany is important to them, and to ignore that is to conveniently sideline Black characters just to turn them into props for your own agenda, which, hilariously enough, is racist. Some people even defend slavery and the slavers just to hate on Dany which is fucking gross and ridiculous. Even if you hate Dany, defending slavery is fucking wrong. Also donât even say bullshit like âshe left them financially tenuousâ. She was fucking young, younger than most of the characters, when she freed slaves, and she did everything she could to free them again. Literally blame the SLAVEOWNERS for slavery lmao, not the Queen who liberated them. Dumbasses.Â
And as for the Dothraki: I do agree, as a South Asian woman, that the writing in Danyâs storyline has taken on white saviorism at some points, and that the way both GRRM and later D&D have written the Dothraki is overtly racist and orientalist. There is no getting around that. Again, however, look at the facts: Dany was forcefully married to Khal Drogo, so she was forced to become a Khaleesi and then adopt that position when Drogo died. Sheâs cared about the Dothraki from the very beginning, since she defended them from Viserys and took the remaining Khalassar with her in season two. And at the end of season six, she had every right to burn down the temple full of the Khals who LITERALLY THREATENED TO GANG RAPE HER. If youâre defending rapists, I donât know what to tell you. Finally, she, again, ASKED the Khalassar to follow her. She didnât force them or threaten them or coerce them; she asked them to, and they ENTHUSIASTICALLY followed her. Theyâd never crossed the Narrow Sea, but because of Dany, they did.Â
Also, most Sansa stans who call Dany out are white themselves, and Sansa herself is literally white, and literally a privileged noblewoman, so there is nothing âmore progressiveâ about stanning Sansa over Dany. Theyâre both powerful white women. There are racist aspects in both of their storylines. Sansaâs willful enabling of Northern hostility is explicitly racist as we have seen over and over again, and to gleefully ignore that while calling Dany a white savior is racist and it proves that most of yâall only care about the overt racism in game of thrones just to prove some anti-Dany point, rather than to actually care about racism in got and in the fantasy genre. Women of color have every right to criticize the white saviorism in Danyâs storyline, but when it comes from white people who want to glorify another white female character, itâs hypocritical and disingenuous.Â
Second of all, there was a big difference drawn between Sansa and Dany this episode, and it has to do with how they faced the imminent threat.Â
Sansa, when Arya tells her to go the Crypts, first says âIâm not abandoning my peopleâ, but she realizes that she has to go there because sheâs not a fighter. Then, in the Crypts, she rightfully tells Tyrion that heâd die if he went out there, because none of them are fighters, and that the most difficult and heroic thing for them to do is to can front the truth that they canât do anything in this battle. I really loved that line because it shows Sansaâs integrity and her intelligence and her honesty. And yet! Not even two minutes later, sheâs badmouthing Dany. Instead of doing something productive, such as soothing her people or her friends, she brought up hostilities. All while Dany and her people were out there fighting. So then what was the point of bringing up how she has to confront the truth? Is the most productive way to confront the truth to bring up her hostility toward Dany when Dany and her people are fighting for her home?Â
Meanwhile, when Dany was out there, and she saw that the Dothraki were dying, she got on to her dragons. Jon tried to stop her because their original plan was to wait for the Night King to show, and yet she couldnât sit idly by and watch her people die. This directly contradicts the notion that Dany doesnât care about her people. We see her burning significant portions of the Wight army. If she hadnât done that, there wouldâve been EVEN MORE Wights in Winterfell later on. In the Inside the Episode Segment, D&D explicitly stated that Dany, when she saw the Dothraki dying, didnât want to just sit and watch, she wanted to help them and save them. She refused to give up on the Dothraki, which when we recall how her Khalassar died in season two, we know that she never wants to be in that position again. And yet she had to deal with her people dying for Winterfell the entire episode. Like, we know full well that Dany is very hands on. She doesnât like to sit by and let people do work for her; she always wants to confront things directly, and that was firmly emphasized in this episode.Â
Moreover, people were claiming that Dany would attack or kill Jon after he revealed his parentage to her. Obviously that didnât happen because most anti Dany people are absolute raging idiots who donât have a single functional brain cell. Not only that though, she saved Jon twice in the episode. She knocked the Night King off Viserion, which eventually made it easier for him to be killed (and of course all credit goes to Arya for killing him!). But we know full well that if the Night King was on Viserion, it wouldâve been nearly impossible for Arya to kill him. Moreover, because of Jon, she was stranded in the middle of the Wight Army without Drogon, and yet she TOLD HIM to go find Bran. And then when Jorah came and saved her, she didnât cower behind him. She picked up a sword and fought by his side, to the bitter end. Dany has no training - she isnât like Brienne or Arya. She doesnât have magical powers like Melisandre. A lot of people claim that Dany is useless without her dragons, and yet she proved those people wrong. With no training and no prior combative experience, she successfully killed many Wights by Jorahâs side. And her absolute devastation when Jorah died once again shows that Dany is compassionate and that she cares about her people. If she didnât care about Jorah, she wouldnât have fought with him, or mourned him so emotionally, and Drogon wouldnât have sensed his motherâs sadness and come to comfort her. Like the fact that you freaks are ignoring these obvious things really makes me wonder how much you have to hate women to come up with these bizarre ideas that Dany is dark or a mad queen or that she âpushed Jorahâ in front of the Wight that killed him.Â
So while Sansa had given up on her ability to fight, and didnât even try to comfort or save her people in the Crypts, Dany did not give up. Even without her dragons, stranded with Jorah in the middle of a Wight army, she fought till the end. By the way, Sansa has done this before: when Jon wanted to save Rickon, Sansa claimed that heâd die anyway. And Rickon did die! Iâm not saying here that Sansa is selfish or weak. Obviously Sansa is hardened by everything sheâs gone through, and is very clever and much more politically aware as a result, but the fact is that Dany, unlike Sansa, has never given up on her people, whereas Sansaâs wariness is a flaw. Moreover, Iâve literally seen Sansa stans claim that Dany âdidnât do anything in this episodeâ. Are you serious? How can you say that Dany was âuselessâ when she was integral to winning the Battle of Winterfell, both because of her armies and dragons and because she literally fought herself, and then simultaneously excuse Sansaâs actions in the Crypts? Sansa literally did not fight at all in this episode. How in the genuine fuck can you people simultaneously say that pointing out that Sansa didnât fight at all and was quite hypocritical in 8.03 (and out of character, in my opinion) is misogynistic AND then say that Dany was âuselessâ when she was fighting and doing something concrete while Sansa wasnât??? What kind of fucking cognitive dissonance are you people suffering from???? Like hello, did we watch the same episode???? Sansa gets to be âfeminineâ and ânot fightâ but Dany is âuselessâ even though she fought and helped out immensely? So whatâs the truth? Itâs bad for people to point out Sansaâs flaws, for people to glorify her and never legitimately deconstruct the bad writing in her storyline, but itâs wrong for people to defend Dany or point out literal objective truths about her actions?Â
Finally, people have been calling Dany manipulative, and yet these same people praised Sansa for acting like Cersei in 8.01 and like Margaery in 8.02. And like the thing is this: if Dany only fought for Winterfell to to get their help, she wouldnât have told Jon that sheâll fight for the North, that sheâs going to save the North. She allowed him to mine Dragonglass before he bent the knee to her. She came to save Jon and the crew in season 7 when they were stranded north of the wall. Sheâs lost one of her dragons, ONE OF HER CHILDREN, her most trusted advisor, and so many of her Dothraki and Unsullied soldiers for the North. Sheâs recognized that fighting for the North meant fighting for life itself. She couldâve easily packed up and waited it out on Dragonstone, or attacked Kings Landing first, and left Winterfell in the dust. But she didnât, and because she didnât is one of the reasons Winterfell is still standing.Â
But you guys would find any reason to hate her. If Dany stuck to the original plan instead of helping out the Dothraki, yâall wouldâve called her selfish. If she cowered behind Jorah, yâall wouldâve called her weak. If she didnât save Jon, yâall wouldâve called her a Mad Queen or manipulative anyway. We even saw her bonds with so many people in this episode and we saw Missandei explicitly defending her, but thatâs not enough I guess. You freaks keep coming up with excuse after excuse because your misogyny makes you so fucking delusional. Dany didnât burn Jon or Winterfell or abandon anyone or manipulate anyone. She didnât kill Jaime when he arrived. Every fucked up thing yâall have said Dany will do hasnât happened because yâall are so unwilling to actually pay attention to who she is. Dany has done nothing to Sansa for her to get this kind of hate from Sansa stans, especially considering all the parallels between Dany and Sansa. Dany is one of the reasons Sansaâs home is still standing, and I hope she comes to appreciate that, and I hope that yâall do too.Â
Iâm going to block any racist, misogynistic, or anti Dany freaks, so donât even try it.Â
Powerful, logical assessment that challenges not only the hypocrisy and blind hatred/validation towards female characters prevalent in this fandom, but also the blatantly OOC way Sansa has been written since season 6. Every character has flaws and strengths, and ignoring either is a disservice to them and to the complexity of the story.
