Happiest Lil Light

“Queen of the Andals, and the Rhoynar and the First Men”: Although technically a claim, she’s actually going to save that mother fucking country and the people, and she has a right as it is the legacy of her family, a legacy they created, so I won’t fight her on this.

“The unburnt”: A freaking goddess, I tell you.

“Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea” : The first time all the dothraki unite behind one leader, a woman, and let me tell you, this title is an understatement because she’s actually the Stallion Who Mounts The World.

“Breaker of chains” : She made her personal mission to help the slaves, free them, and maintain that freedom. Slavers Bay, no more.

“Mother of Dragons” : She brought dragons to life, the last dragons in the world, after more than a century of being extinct.

How many people can say that they have done most of these things….on their own right…

You will listen, and you will respect.

I know it is a fandom joke - “lol daenerys and her hundred titles”, but in a world where men get to hold titles for no reason other than their birth, and are immediately respected by people of westeros and real world fans alike for the smallest acts of goodness; I have no issues with Daenerys’s million titles which she earned through her hard work, intuition and wits.

Also it reminds me of this poem by Warsan Shire:

Godric Borrell, Lord of Sweetsister, Shield of Sisterton, Master of Breakwater Castle, and Keeper of the Night Lamp.

Keeper of the Night Lamp … 

Yet somehow it’s Daenerys who is “narcissistic” and “entitled” … She never asked her people to call her by these titles, they are the ones who bestowed them on her.

The Unburnt, they called her, and Mother of Dragons.
