yours_truly | 'her satanic majesty' MY ASS (Reply)

Dany had no wish to reduce King's Landing to a blackened ruin full of unquiet ghosts. She had supped enough on tears. I want to make my kingdom beautiful, to fill it with fat men and pretty maids and laughing children. I want my people to smile when they see me ride by, the way Viserys said they smiled for my father.

But before she could do that she must conquer. [...] How could she hope to overthrow such men?

-Danaerys, A Clash of Kings

I've been slowly reading through the Song of Ice and Fire books since April, and I literally screamed at this.

(I'm actually listening to the audiobooks, and I had to hit pause and give myself a chance to yell in my car.)

(The audiobooks are okay, except they go out of their way to make people's names incomprehensible and ~*fantasy*~ worthy. Petyr, instead of Peter, is pronounced P'tire. Brienne--which is obviously just... Brienne? It's a normal name??--is pronounced Br-eye-een. It's a crime.)
