not a day goes by that I don’t think about the wasted potential of the dothraki characters. irri and jhiqui as direct narrative parallels to dany (the enslaved daughters of a fallen khal vs the enslaved princess of a fallen dynasty). jhogo being the first person to ever protect dany from viserys, being the first bloodrider to pledge his loyalty to her, and remaining fiercely protective of her aka the princess/bodyguard trope. irri and jhiqui having a thing for rakharo after noticing that he’s suddenly wayyy taller than jhogo and aggo. that one time rakharo tried to outdo quaro by eating more sausages than him and burping so loudly that dany giggles after weeks of grieving for viserys. dany kissing irri’s hand better after drogon bites her. dany wielding a whip just like jhogo does as she frees the unsullied. this wacky gang of teenagers taking down the institution of slavery with the power of friendship.
all of this potential for WHAT. where’s the depth? why do they all talk the same way? why are their characters so similar as to almost be interchangeable? like give us a dothraki pov or at least just let them be real people like the westerosi characters get to be !?! let them be more than caricatures please ?!?
