There was this tweet (It was dumb) and the girl was bitching about George RR Martin. She said something like "What has George RR Martin done for female characters?" She's a SJM fan, not surprised by this.

On August 6th, 1996, George released A Game of Thrones. Many characters in this book but one stood out, Daenerys Targaryen. She changed the game for female characters. There are a bunch of characters that are literal variants of Daenerys. Aelin Galanthynius is a fae variant of Daenerys. Dany is called "The Prince that was Promised." Aelin is called "The Queen that was Promised." Not trying to diss Aelin, she's one of my favorite book characters.

We got Manon Blackbeak who is literally Visenya Targaryen in another font. Like I said, not trying to diss Manon, love her too.

Give respect when it's due, Daenerys Targaryen is a blueprint (THE blueprint if you wanna get fancy).

Advisor in Small Council Maester Benifer, Lord Albin Massey, and Queen Alysanne—a foursome His Grace dubbed “my even smaller council”—Jaehaerys set out to codify, organize, and reform all the kingdom’s laws.

The Widow’s Law The right of the eldest son (or daughter, where there was no son) to inherit, but requiring said heirs to maintain surviving widows in the same conditions they enjoyed before their husband’s death.

The women’s courts Only women and girls were allowed to join Alysanne during these courts, regardless of their status of birth. Alysanne encouraged them to speak freely and openly about their fears, concerns, and hopes.

The queen’s fountains When the king and his master of coin, Rego Draz, balked at the costs, Alysanne served them a tankard of river water and challenged them to drink it. Instead of drinking the water, the king and his master of coin approved the construction of the fountains, which would become known as “the queen’s fountains”. The Night’s Watch Alysanne suggested to the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch that the Nightfort, the oldest and largest castle at the Wall, which was too costly to maintain, be replaced with a smaller castle nearby. She used her own jewels (including her own crown) to finance the construction of the castle, which was named Deep Lake.To thank Alysanne for financing Deep Lake and winning them the New Gift, the Night’s Watch renamed the castle Snowgate, dubbing it Queensgate in her honor.

Abolition of the lord’s right to the first night After Queen Alysanne heard numerous horror stories by women involving this archaic custom, she persuaded the small council to declare it illegal in 58 AC.

Jonquil Darke Jonquil arrived in King’s Landing a few days later and gladly accepted the position of Queen Alysanne’s sworn shield and protector. In time she became known as the Scarlet Shadow, so closely did she guard her lady.

DAENERYS’ WEDDINGS

She sat in her wedding silks, nursing a cup of honeyed wine, afraid to eat, talking silently to herself. - Daenerys I, AGOT

The wedding garb is fraught with meaning too. The bride is dressed in dark red veils above a tokar of white silk, fringed with baby pearls. - Daenerys VI, ADWD

“The hands of the King are the hands of a healer.”

“At the doors of the Houses many were already gathered to see Aragorn, and they followed after him; and when at last he had supped, men came and prayed that he would heal their kinsmen or their friends whose lives were in peril through hurt or wound, or who lay under the Black Shadow. And Aragorn arose and went out, and he sent for the sons of Elrond, and together they laboured far into the night. And word went through the City: ‘The King is come again indeed.’ And they named him Elfstone, because of the green stone that he wore, and so the name which it was foretold at his birth that he should bear was chosen for him by his own people.” -J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, "The Houses of Healing"

“Dany walked right past him. There was an old man on the ground a few feet away, moaning and staring up at the grey belly of the clouds. She knelt beside him, wrinkling her nose at the smell, and pushed back his dirty grey hair to feel his brow. 'His flesh is on fire. I need water to bathe him. Seawater will serve. Marselen, will you fetch some for me? I need oil as well, for the pyre. Who will help me burn the dead?'

By the time Aggo returned with Grey Worm and fifty of the Unsullied loping behind his horse, Dany had shamed all of them into helping her. Symon Stripeback and his men were pulling the living from the dead and stacking up the corpses, while Jhogo and Rakharo and their Dothraki helped those who could still walk toward the shore to bathe and wash their clothes. Aggo stared at them as if they had all gone mad, but Grey Worm knelt beside the queen and said, 'This one would be of help.'

Before midday a dozen fires were burning. Columns of greasy black smoke rose up to stain a merciless blue sky. Dany's riding clothes were stained and sooty as she stepped back from the pyres.” -George R. R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons, Chapter 36, Daenerys VI

“Enough.” Dany slapped the table. “No one will be left to die. You are all my people.” Her dreams of home and love had blinded her. “I will not abandon Meereen to the fate of Astapor. It grieves me to say so, but Westeros must wait.”

– A Dance With Dragons

How anyone can read this and somehow come to the conclusion that Dany doesn’t care about anyone or anything but her claim, I will never understand. Even her longing for Westeros is more about the common people she is told are praying for her return, as well as her own need to find a home. But she is even willing to put that on hold to help those who are relying on her.
