Look, I enjoy the Targaryens as much as the next person and think that their house, their family mess, all of it is very interesting. I want a dragon so bad and they are one of the reasons, I get it. But, on the same hand, it gets annoying when people say/act like they are the only interesting house within ASOIAF (this rhetoric is mainly on Twitter, from what I've seen) and it primarily has to do with them having dragons (to which, for a time many Targaryens didn't have after the dance and until Daenerys came into the picture). Look, having dragons is cool and all, but if that's all that makes a house interesting then maybe that house is boring. And, could be just me, but by saying that I feel like it's lowkey disrespecting all the work GRRM put into the other houses and their characters. If the Targaryens are your favorite that's fine, but there's no need to act like the lore behind other houses also isn't just as important. I'm new to this fandom, but there are so many aspects that have pulled me in and it's sad that people ignore it just because it's not a part of one particular house.

#again i enjoy the targs and their messiness #and i want a dragon fr fr!#but im also not going to disrespect the other houses either! they are just as good if not great (acting like the martells didn't give them #a run for their money)#also back to the dragon thing how do you have rhae saying that without their dragons they're just like everyone else #and turn around and go “other houses aren't as cool without dragons” you're kind of proving her point #starks lannisters MARTELLS tyrells so many interesting houses that deserve praise too #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #house targaryen #hotd #targ stans pls dni if you're going to be mean #also i see some refusing to acknowledge how cool some of these houses are just bc they had beef with the targs and I'm like #come on move on already asoiaf has houses backstabbing one another left & right and moving on right after #even if you dislike one character from said house (fine) that doesn't mean you can't like anything about where they come from #yall can hate on the hightowers all you want but if you look me in the eye and say you'd pick smelly kl over oldtown i know u lying #even the wiki says that kl was hastily made and has a lot of flaws bc of that but oldtown doesn't bc they took time to build #even if i didn't rock with the hightowers like that id still pick oldtown over kl
