Davrum Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Daario annoys me sometimes, but if a dragon roasted a horse he would sit down and eat it with me. :lol: Good call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We don't always love wisely, but that's what I took from the writing. Ser Barriston said she loves Daario, too. She called Daario "her love" in that final chapter. I think we have to give her that respect, to acknowledge her feelings... Well, Barristan is a romantic... I think it's due to he coming from that time in Westeros when chivalry was still a thing, the times of Rhaegar when Princes could win a lady's heart by playing the harp, and Tourneys were magical. He still believes two people are together because they love each other and nothing else. Now, that doesn't mean Dany doesn't love Daario. But it's not the same love she felt for Drogo.

eyenon15 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think by the last book, Daario loves Dany more than she loves him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindrot Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Personally I never liked Daario. The guy is a scumbag through and through, and even without the "3 betrayals" part of the her prophecy, I know Daario is going to turn on her. Truely I thought he was only a douchbag early on, but in one of Dany's POV's she says something like "He had her in every way a man can have a woman", which totally angered me. I think that a few of those "ways" are very demeaning and not something you should do to the Mother of Dragons (even if she wants you too IMO). I think the Daario plot device was used only to make Dany on par with more of GRRM's other "hero" characters, ie he is used to make her look less "perfect". Still though, I hate his guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearQueen87 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Dany didn't call Jorah her love, though... If she did, I'd die of shock. Dany's understanding of what she feels (whatever it is) for Jorah is really complicated and cannot be boiled down to something as "my love" because her feelings for Daario are pretty clear from the get go: sexual attraction and a love that is young and girlish. She calls Jorah plenty of other things that equal love. My bear, my knight, my fierce strong bear, my right arm that's never failed me, my only friend. She also exhibits more levels of actual intimacy with Jorah than she does with Daario as I've already pointed out. She calls Daario her love but we see how far this kind of love gets people. It's a young infatuation highly sexualized love. It doesn't mean that it's not true, but it also doesn't mean that it's what she wants in the end. when Dany gets back to Meereen she's going to be very changed from the person she was when she left. I don't think she is going to simply fall back into Daario's arms. She gives in to temptation after BBP, after she chains her dragons, after Meereen is slipping from her, after what's going on in Astapor and Yunaki'i outside her gates. And when she does give in, she stops being the Queen. She stops going to hold court altogether. But those factors are now gone with her having released her inner dragon and remembering who she is and that she's the mother of Dragons and Queen of Meereen--and for her, Westeros.

Balerion the one eared cat Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I don't know whether I'm a Dany fan or hater, it changes daily, but even so, I like Daario. I like that everything comes at face value: he's a flamboyant, womansing sellsword who's totally into the Dragon Queen. At the minute there doesn't seem to be much more to him that, and that's fine. He's pretty entertaining. I don't want to have any delusions about how he's actually Euron or Benjen or the Green Grace or Azor Ahai, whether he's good for Dany or the storyline remains to be seen, but meh, he's pretty cool.

ChillyPolly Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Personally I never liked Daario. The guy is a scumbag through and through Yes. But he's a SEXXYYY scumbag. (barf! gag! barf! gag!) Dany's POV's she says something like "He had her in every way a man can have a woman", which totally angered me. I think that a few of those "ways" are very demeaning and not something you should do to the Mother of Dragons (even if she wants you too IMO). Porn-star Daario seems to be the basic concept here.

Le Cygne Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Now, that doesn't mean Dany doesn't love Daario. But it's not the same love she felt for Drogo.I think you can fall in love more than once in a lifetime, and the love you feel for each mate is a little different. There will most likely never be time for things to evolve as they did with Drogo... Although there are glimmers in her last chapter, and she often thinks of them the same way... But I would agree, at this time, not the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
