"What of my heart?" was MĂriel's love confession. One way I know this is bc there's a before and after demarcation. Before this scene, she'd initiated affectionate touch with Elendil multiple times, but in keeping with the inherent propriety and chivalry of the "Lady & Knight" trope, he (passively allowed it but) didn't actively reciprocate (except to remove her hand from him once). Yet in the jail scene he initiates the face hold/caress and forehead touch.
But not until after and in response to "What of my heart?" No other way to interpret that question besides her heart will be broken if he dies, meaning she has deep feelings for/is in love with him. Her directly expressing that + him being in a dire situation = the chivalric/courtly boundaries flying out the window (at least temporarily). Especially when MĂriel had already been blurring and overstepping those anyway. But despite being, I believe, in love with her since 1x08, he didn't and wouldn't have (re)acted in kind without confirmation from her that she reciprocated that love. Which she's now done. And so ensued the chaste equivalent of a kiss, the lingering forehead touch.
(I also have this in tweet form)
I recently did a Garak run of DS9 where I only watch the Garak episodes, and my friend Rebecca asked me to put together a list of the best ones for her to watch (with a special emphasis on the Garak/Bashir ship). So, here are my picks! What are your favorite Garak episodes?
oh my god this New Yorker article about the Titan holy fucking shit fuck???
Interviews and e-mails with expedition leaders and employees reveal how OceanGate ignored desperate warnings from inside and outside the com
Some notes: 1. the electrical system was designed by engineering undergrads who were working as interns. 2. because it is illegal to take passengers on an unclassed experimental submersible, they called the passengers "mission specialists" & instead of buying tickets they made donations. 3. the satellite beacon was held onto the outside of the sub with zip ties. 4. when Lochridge (the whistleblower) quit, Stockton Rush asked HIS FINANCE DIRECTOR if she wanted to be the pilot and she was like "sir I am an accountant" and the experience of having her boss ask his accountant to be the pilot made her so freaked out that she ALSO quit the company 5. the carbon fiber used to make the hull was bought from a deep discount from Boeing because it was past its expiry date for use in airplanes
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE
Ah, and i can not stress this enough, WTF!! And thatâs just from the bullet points.

Another little illustration to this amazing fic because I havenât posted it on tumblr yet and thought I should share this Jonerys kiss with everyone â€ïžâ€ïž
Another great episode recap/review of The Rings of Power by Rings and Realms, I highly recommend giving it a watch. I would also suggest you watch their recap of episode 1 & 2.
Itâs little consolation now but I was right about some things.

Daenerys Fighting the Dead
[beginning of rant]
I was reading some comments about this discussion regarding both Dany and Jon being both Azor Ahai/Prince that was Promise and I noticed a weird trend. Few questioned that it could be Jon because heâs so noble, selfless and doesnât seek power for himself and of course heâs already been fighting the White Walkers. However, a lot of people doubt Dany because she is too power-hungry, selfish, and she only seeks to glorify herself and therefore doesnât deserve to be a hero. Iâm not surprised of course, this has pretty much been a good portion of the fan reaction to Dany since I started watching the show and reading the books. At first I was incredulous to the attacks but I understood later that the problem here is that Dany has asserted herself of who she is and what she wants. That she embraces her leadership and power. I have no problem with this but a lot of people seem to have a problem with it.
Regarding the heroism of these two characters, I would say that Danyâs heroism is on par with Jonâs if not more. This is a girl who bluffed her way into freeing 8,000+ Unsullied slaves, who liberated the center of slavery in the continent of Essos. She didnât have to do this, she had no skin in the game but she remember was it was like to be bought and sold, to be powerless, trampled upon, to be at the mercy of others and chose to do something about it. She gave up on her dream to go to Westeros in order to rule Meereen, and while there were many setbacks and mistakes on her part she stuck it out until she defeated the slavers for good. Additionally, (and I think a lot of people donât consider this) her conquering of the Dothraki is an essential part of her campaign of liberation. This isnât discussed in the show but the Dothraki are the largest providers of slaves in Essos. As a nomadic people the roam Essos, praying on the weak and enslaving them. Her taking the Dothraki away from Essos is an additional blow to the slave trade. To me Dany is probably one of the most empathetic characters in the series. Yet because sheâs not humble that somehow takes away from the good she has done and accomplished. WTF!
Additionally, I donât think a lot of people have noticed but White Walkers are in fact slavers, but instead of enslaving people who are alive, they enslave the dead. You would think that the girl who has been fighting slavery for the better part of the series would be an essential part of the fight against the enslavement of people, be they dead or alive. Come on now!
As Tyrion Lannister once told Young Griff, âthis mother of dragons, this breaker of chains is above all a rescuer.â
[/end of rant]
Once upon a time in Westeros, there was a Targaryen Princess whose marriage helped knit the Seven Kingdoms together...
The first Daenerysâ political marriage to the Dornish Prince Maron Martell had two effects:
âIt sparked the Blackfyre Rebellion.
â(more importantly) Along with her brother King Daeronâs marriage to Mariah Martell, it brought Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms, doing what Aegon and his sisters could not through conquest.
Daenerys and Maron were a political marriage. But he also built her the beautiful Water Gardens. She is an ancestor of the current Martells in ASOIAF.
George could have named Daenerys Targaryen for any other character in the narrative, and yet, this is what we know about the first Daenerys.
If she was going to be vicious, ruthless, he could have named her for Visenya or Rhaenyra (I love them both!).
However, sheâs Daenerys. I suspect in the books, if Jonerys happens, it might really piss (f)Aegon off⊠paralleling what happened in the past.

Apologies for the n00b question, I haven't read the books yet. But does the Targaryen crest have a 3 headed dragon for Aegon I, Visenya and Rhaenys - the conquerors of Westeros? Or was that the Targaryen crest even before they sailed from Valyria? I ask because I like the idea of Jon, Dany and their possible offspring restoring the crest's triad theme.
Hello anon,
Iâm unsure of where I read it but, I do remember reading that Aegon I had the crest of the three-headed dragon created to represent himself and his two sisters. However, there might have been something that prompted him to create this particular sigil.
We know that the Targarens have been driven by prophecy for hundreds of years. They relocated to Westeros because of a prophetic dream Daenys Targaryen had. There family does have a magical affinity which includes vision of the future, accurate, yet sometimes not properly interpret, vision of the future. So perhaps, in one of the prophecies written down by Daenys the Dreamer, there was mention of a three-headed dragon and Aegon used that to inspire the family sigil.
I lean towards the sigil being inspired by some type of prophecy or vision because it runs in line with how the Targaryens operate.

âThat night she dreamt that she was Rhaegar, riding to the Trident. But she was mounted on a dragon, not a horse. When she saw the Usurperâs rebel host across the river they were armored all in ice, but she bathed them in dragonfire and they melted away like dew and turned the Trident into a torrent. Some small part of her knew that she was dreaming, but another part exulted. This is how it was meant to be. The other was a nightmare, and I have only now awakened.â
