total1402 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I remember hearing that he recently called Victarion a dumbass or words to those effect. Has he ever said anything about Dany that anyone can quote that'd be insightful for her arc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever said anything about Dany that anyone can quote that'd be insightful for her arc?That she's a thirteen year old girl, at one stage, if I recall correctly, in response to criticism of her actions.

Has he ever said anything about Dany that anyone can quote that'd be insightful for her arc?He's called her hot before too. Don't recall the exact quote though. And that her wedding night with Drogo was supposed to be romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter's Knight Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 That he thinks she's the "hottest" and he'd like to take her out to dinner.He also finds her relationship with Drogo romantic. :ack:Edit: ninja'ed by a furry candy bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'd like to take her out to dinner? Forgetting the fact she's fictional, that's kinda weird. :shocked:However saying that her and Drogo are meant to be romantic really takes the cake. :ack:So yeah OP, he's said stuff about her, most of it weird/creepy.

RhaenysBee Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 He's called her hot before too. Don't recall the exact quote though. And that her wedding night with Drogo was supposed to be romantic.It was... :uhoh:(I'm just rereading the books and I just read that chapter on the way home on the subway. No matter how much I try I don't see how that whole scene was not romantic. Well, call me a retard please. I'm having a great day, you can call me anything now)I mean he thinks a 13 year old girl (she's a tad older now) is the hottest character? And he'd like to take her out to dinner? Forgetting the fact she's fictional, that's kinda weird. :shocked:So we can forget the fact that she is fictional, but not the fact that she is 13? Yeah, that sounds like fair play... :uhoh:By the way, that is just the thing you must get over. The stuff is set in medieval times, a 23 year old Daenerys wedding Khal Drogo would look incredibly unrealistic and ridiculous... 13 is hard for us to stomach because we are used to women being single and still at school even after 25.

Bastard of Godsgrace Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well. when I told him The House of the Undying shows us Dany is not a villain of the story, he said he is trying to keep it balanced, what may mean she is, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braavosi Sealady Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I think the "hot" and "go out to dinner" comments was about Emilia Clark (Dany on tv), not the character in the books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 :agree:I don't have a problem with Dany and Drogo's wedding night... I don't know if I'd call it romantic, but that's because I'm not romantic. Yeah, she was afraid, and her brother sold her to a savage, she was scared and alone watching all that brutality of the Dothraki feast. I know. But I like it when they ride off, and I think it was a kind of magical night.Well, I happen to agree with Braavosi Sealady above me. But the previous :agree: was meant for RhaenysBalerion's post. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make GRRM seem like Peter Perfect. I mean folks lusting over Arya, Podrick Payne and Tommen i.e. the Sandusky squad. There are some sickos in this fanbase . . .

Yeech.Also, Martin has said the relationship between Dany/Drogo was supposed to be a love story.That he set up Cersei and Dany in Feast and Dance so that we could see the different ways that women rule.I guess the way that women rule is....badly? Was kinda disappointed about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortal Engines Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 So we can forget the fact that she is fictional, but not the fact that she is 13? Yeah, that sounds like fair play... :uhoh:Well actually, forgetting she is fictional part was because its even weirder that he's referring to his own fictional character that way, not because it makes it less creepy.By the way, that is just the thing you must get over. The stuff is set in medieval times, a 23 year old Daenerys wedding Khal Drogo would look incredibly unrealistic and ridiculous... 13 is hard for us to stomach because we are used to women being single and still at school even after 25. Different times, different customs...I can get over it in ASOIAF because that's when its set. What I can't get over is GRRM stating he finds her hot in MODERN times, that's weird/creepy. Obviously if he was referring to Emilia Clarke, that is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
