Prompts for writing eyes like that

⋆˚✿˖ His eyes were the color of dark honey under low light. Gold turned shadow, sweet turned secret, the kind of gaze that made your pulse trip over itself.

⋆˚✿˖ Her eyes glowed like amber with a flame trapped inside, warm at first glance, but carrying a heat that didn’t feel entirely safe.

⋆˚✿˖ His irises held that smoky, golden hue of burnt sugar. Warm and addictive, the kind of color that warned you and pulled you closer anyway.

⋆˚✿˖ Her gaze shimmered like honey poured slowly, thick and deliberate, the kind of look that made you forget your own name for a second.

⋆˚✿˖ Her eyes flickered with that dangerous golden-brown shimmer, the exact shade of trouble disguised as temptation.

⋆˚✿˖ His eyes were the kind of honey that only turns golden when you tilt the jar. Soft in one angle, sharp in another, like his gaze shifted depending on what he wanted from you.

⋆˚✿˖ His gaze was amber darkened at the edges, warm in the center, the kind of eyes that made you think he could ruin you gently if he wanted to.

Thinking about what we know about Valyrian gender roles;

It seems to have been more normalized for women to take more martial roles - both of the Conqueror's sisters, even Rhaenys who Is described by the histories as less martial, rode dragons into battle.

Valyrian inheritance practices seem to have favored men over women. Aegon I inherited Dragonstone over his sister Visenya, despite the fact she was older than him.

So in general it doesn't seem that Valyria was that much different from their Andal counterparts as far as we are aware, hang-ups amount women in battle non-withstanding.

(Nor would it make sense for the eugenist slavocracy to have particularly progressive opinions on women anyway)

“In the cold night air the wound was smoking. “Ghost,” he whispered. Pain washed over him…He never felt the fourth knife. Only the cold…”

“Off in the distance, a wolf howled. The sound made her feel sad and lonely, but no less hungry. As the moon rose above the grasslands, Dany slipped at last into a restless sleep.”
