asoiaf feelings sup

idk sometimes i also feel bad that i can't seem to like daenerys as much as other people do? like, she is universally beloved apparently (except by stannis stans) (i meant to say fans but omg stannis stans is such a funny phrase) (sup i'm STANNING) (shut up lui), but i am just kind of, "yeah daenerys is pretty great!" and then i go back to wailing about sannnnsaaaaaaaaa

and i think it's mostly because of how for most of her current narrative grrm has put her into the role of the white savior. she liberates the people of essos from their depraved and primitive ways!!!!!! and yeah, okay, we are shown that she is actually pretty shit at the whole thing, her presence is not a panacea, but it makes me so uncomfortable

because people of color don't need liberators? we don't need you to be the mother of us? i remember that in grade school and high school i hated taking up the spanish and american occupation (esp the latter) because even though it's part of my history the idea that a bunch of white men ever thought they could 'fix' my culture+people grossed me out so much

your ideas about what is right and civilized are not the same as mine!!! i don't need you to enlighten me!!! etc

it just

the idea of it? what daenerys thinks she is doing?

is gross. it's gross.
