I gave up on paying attention. ANYWAY STANNIS EATS SHIT AND NEEDS TO DIE

He probably will die. But you know what? At least he's doing something. Dany might be a young girl, but she's certainly accustomed to the ways of sitting around and being the most boring character in DwD. You'd at least expect a book with that title to contain a little more excitement.
But no, she goes to a place and everyone else does some interesting things while she eats grapes and swims in a pool and thinks about prophecies.
Bitch, move on with your life. You have 3 dragons, stop giving a fuck. And stop chaining them up, a mother shouldn't have favourites you silver bint.

I think the best bit, is that after 120948038 years of boring sitting around and caring for her people and boring us by sitting still because she cares about her people, she ultimately undoes all of that by all but jumping on Drogon's scalely black dragon penis, all because GRRM realised "I like Dany but man is she doing fuck all. Let's move her without REALLY committing her to anything all that much.".

And she can't even make a sodding hat. SERIOUSLY girl, get some life skills.

Don't get me wrong, I like Dany, I do, but she got DULL. I found myself sighing whenever "Daenerys" appeared in those big bold letters.

George used her as a plot device, the "Meereenese Knot," so to speak. She is a highly important character, but she had to be moved from the periphery without physically moving. Favorites? She calls Drogon her largest and strongest, but never her favorite. Drogon isn't chained up because he escapes. If anything, she connects to Drogon more than the others because she is his rider, and she cannot mount either of her other children. What has Stannis done? Lost every battle he's fought in the War of Five Kings (minus the Wildlings), gives up, and sails to the end of the world to "defend his kingdom." He's in the middle of a damn blizzard while the Boltons prepare to meet him in the field. Stannis is honorable, but what does honor get you? A false title and a seat where he can freeze his balls off at the Wall. Daenerys remembers her identity, her cause, her endgame all in one really hot adventure into the Dothraki Sea. She realizes she cares about her people at the end of ADwD, but she pities them rather than loves them. Her entire arc in ADwD was built around identity, and the loss of such. Daenerys thought herself a Mhysa, a mother, but she is mother to three and not thousands.

If you read the Arianne chapter from Winds of Winter, you saw that Westeros is frightened by the thought of dragons, let alone the last legitimate Targaryen. What do the lords of Westeros say about Stannis? They praise his victories from twenty years ago and then laugh about his blunders as "king." Daenerys has taken three large cities without the help of her dragons in a few months, yet Stannis has claimed to be the true king for nearly three years now. The only [wo]man I mean to bend my knee to is sitting in the Dothraki Sea, having miscarriages and riding dragons. It was the stags we married, and the stags are all but gone. KHALEESI OF WESTEROS. KHALEESI OF WESTEROS.

AND YET I'M STILL A HOUSE STARK MAN MYSELF. They're basically from Yorkshire, and that's precisely where I'm from.

Recently though, a friend of mine realised her, me and my partner are sort of like the Baratheon brothers. She's very much into colour and shiny things and such, whereas Joe is hardworking, stern, and just. Me? As long as I'm having fun I don't give two shiny coppers.

(And yet, I did the Stannis thing and ignored your post because Stannis).
