Dany Girl Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I don't think he'll betray her, I really don't. I could be completely wrong and he could be sitting with the leaders of Meereen laughing and drinking wine at the moment, but I honestly don't think that's the way his story will go. I don't find the relationship annoying, and I don't find her thoughts of him annoying. I find it realistic for how a lonely 16 year old thinks of her love interest. She only thinks of him like 5 times when he's not around, and usually it's a passing thought like, "I wish Daario would take me away from this dreadful court crap". Jon thinks of Ygrette way more than Dany thinks of Daario, but for some reason Dany is the annoying one :dunno: I like Daario, I like how he reminds Dany who she is, not as Queen but as Dany. I think he's a breath of fresh air to her, someone who tells her the truth instead of kissing her ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miodrag Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Whatever floats your boat, I'm just saying Daario fits the Rockstar title more than anyone else in the series. I get it, I was joking. At least, I was trying to. And only partially - I do think Nick Cave is as far from fake as anyone in rock'n'roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Whatever floats your boat, I'm just saying Daario fits the Rockstar title more than anyone else in the series. Well he doesn't quite have the personal fame or notoriety but persona-wise, I agree - and I understand why that's attractive, even if the book description of him is over-the-top ridiculous, even for a "rockstar".

That may be his effect on her, but I'm pretty sure he's mostly interested in her as "Queen" and "Mother of Dragons", not really as Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity: why do you find the description of him to be over-the-top ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Out of curiosity: why do you find the description of him to be over-the-top ridiculous? The three-pronged blue beard, the gold tooth etc. But then to stand out in Essos, I guess you have to really go for it. Also, see this image: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/170/6/3/daario_naharis_by_amok_by_xtreme1992-d69qnp2.jpg :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that gives him plenty of fame and notoriety status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His appearance is unusual, no doubt about that, but I wouldn't call it over-the-top ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the people I know with dyed beards are either in a rock band or a biker gang As a teen I had a red-and-green beard, even if it was only for a short while, and I've never been in a rock band or a biker gang :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bittersteel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 He's genuine I think and upfront about who he is I think the hate comes from people not liking that person. He is arrogant and somewhat annoying but yeah I think the romance is believable. They'll never get married though as people have already said it's political suicide worse than Robb's wedding.

The fact that she's Queen is a bonus that he takes advantage of, but I don't think it's his main motivation. Or isn't anymore. I think he may have started out trying to get in her pants for the challenge of it, but has come to care for her truly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daario proposed to slaughter all of Dany's opponents during her wedding in Meereen! there's more to it than just his appearance. He's a cruel and violent man.

RoamingRonin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The whole thing with Dany, Daario and Barristan reminds me of a sheltered white girl and her roughneck boyfriend that her conservative dad doesn't approve of. It's very silly. Especially when she mentions his swag. This was before swag became a popular in slang but it makes me groan anyway. Of all the things in slavers bay, her craving him and his gold tooth is the last thing I want to read about. Why couldn't she just get it on with Rhakaro? Daario seems defined to betray her (blue hair, blue beard, all blue errythang). Can't wait for it to happen so she can kill him and move on.

He's a cruel and violent man. 1) He doesn't hide he's cruel and violent. In fact, he's very open about it. Perhaps it doesn't mean much, but at least it's better than the opposite. 2) It's not like he's Ramsay or Gregor. He's not into randomly killing innocent people for looking at him the way he doesn't appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikkel Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 My statement still stands though, since I don't know you. Yup, both our statements are anecdotal evidence with no proof that they're symptomatic or indicative of the rest of the population. Eh, I read it as he's mostly interested in banging one of the hottest chicks alive. The fact that she's Queen is a bonus that he takes advantage of, but I don't think it's his main motivation. Or isn't anymore. I think he may have started out trying to get in her pants for the challenge of it, but has come to care for her truly. Possible, to clarify: I don't think it's her power he's interested in, certainly not from a political point of view. But equally, her physical beauty is a bonus, not his main motivation. Basically, a man like Daario will have no trouble finding a beautiful woman with far less strings attached or inherent risk than Dany, and yet he prefers her - to me that indicates something other than her person is his main attraction.

Can't wait for it to happen so she can kill him and move on. Dany sheltered? After all she's been through? Quite the contrary, she isn't sheltered even as the Queen of Meereen, as she realizes in ADWD. Dany is, along with Tyrion, quite possibly the least sheltered among POV characters in ASOIAF. She's the very opposite of sheltered. And her feelings for Daario perhaps mean she doesn't even crave to be sheltered any more. She's beyond big protectors a la Drogo, who was her only true protection/shelter ever. Perhaps now she can handle and enjoy wild and adventurous tempers, like Daario.
