DAENERYS TARGARYEN’S OUTFITS IN A GAME OF THRONES
(AGOT, ACOK, ASOS, ADWD)
Last September, I commissioned the amazingly talented @ilrex to draw fanart of every single Dany outfit that’s described in the books. I can’t thank them enough for accepting my request, for making me so happy and excited whenever I received updates of their progress, for finishing such a huge project, for giving me such diverse options to use as my tumblr icon (lol), for greatly enriching my (re)reading experience of Dany’s chapters and for surpassing all my expectations with their gorgeous style and attention to detail. Ilrex deserves all the praise for their depiction of these outfits, which will be posted per book on different days.
So here are Dany’s outfits in A Game of Thrones, along with the book descriptions (a few of them were skipped for being too repetitive and/or vague) that ilrex had in mind in order to draw her costumes:
When she was clean, the slaves helped her from the water and toweled her dry. The girl brushed her hair until it shone like molten silver, while the old woman anointed her with the spiceflower perfume of the Dothraki plains, a dab on each wrist, behind her ears, on the tips of her breasts, and one last one, cool on her lips, down there between her legs. They dressed her in the wisps that Magister Illyrio had sent up, and then the gown, a deep plum silk to bring out the violet in her eyes. The girl slid the gilded sandals onto her feet, while the old woman fixed the tiara in her hair, and slid golden bracelets crusted with amethysts around her wrists. Last of all came the collar, a heavy golden torc emblazoned with ancient Valyrian glyphs. (AGOT, Daenerys I)
~
So she sat in her wedding silks, nursing a cup of honeyed wine, afraid to eat, talking silently to herself.
[…] She stood there helpless and trembling in her wedding silks while he secured the horses, and when he turned to look at her, she began to cry.
[…] He removed her silks one by one, carefully, while Dany sat unmoving, silent, looking at his eyes.
[…] He stood her up then and pulled her close to remove the last of her silks. (AGOT, Daenerys II)
~
She was barefoot, with oiled hair, wearing Dothraki riding leathers and a painted vest given her as a bride gift. She looked as though she belonged here. (AGOT, Daenerys III)
~
Warm blood filled her mouth and ran down over her chin. The taste threatened to gag her, but she made herself chew and swallow. The heart of a stallion would make her son strong and swift and fearless, or so the Dothraki believed, but only if the mother could eat it all.
[…] The procession waited on the grassy shore as Dany stripped and let her soiled clothing fall to the ground. (AGOT, Daenerys V)
~
When she emerged from the lake, shivering and dripping, her handmaid Doreah hurried to her with a robe of painted sandsilk, but Khal Drogo waved her away. […] Only then was Doreah permitted to drape her in the scented sandsilk, and Irri to fit soft slippers to her feet. (AGOT, Daenerys V)
~
They scrubbed her clean and dressed her in sandsilk, loose and flowing. (AGOT, Daenerys VI)
~
A great knife of pain ripped down her back, and she felt her skin tear open and smelled the stench of burning blood and saw the shadow of wings. And Daenerys Targaryen flew.
“… wake the dragon …”
The door loomed before her, the red door, so close, so close, the hall was a blur around her, the cold receding behind. And now the stone was gone and she flew across the Dothraki sea, high and higher, the green rippling beneath, and all that lived and breathed fled in terror from the shadow of her wings. (AGOT, Daenerys IX)
~
And saw her brother Rhaegar, mounted on a stallion as black as his armor. Fire glimmered red through the narrow eye slit of his helm. “The last dragon,” Ser Jorah’s voice whispered faintly. “The last, the last.” Dany lifted his polished black visor. The face within was her own. (AGOT, Daenerys IX)
~
For herself she chose loose sandsilk trousers, sandals that laced halfway up her legs, and a vest like Drogo’s. (AGOT, Daenerys X)
~
Her vest had begun to smolder, so Dany shrugged it off and let it fall to the ground. The painted leather burst into sudden flame as she skipped closer to the fire, her breasts bare to the blaze, streams of milk flowing from her red and swollen nipples.
[…] She was naked, covered with soot, her clothes turned to ash, her beautiful hair all crisped away … yet she was unhurt. (AGOT, Daenerys X)

I do find it funny how they say that Rhaenys always bends to Corlys will when his ass didn’t even want to join the war and only joined because she basically told him to. It’s a relationship lol. It ebbs and flows. The only time we’ve genuinely seen them disagree in course of action was in ep 7. Idc what anyone says but refusing that marriage proposal when Viserys hurled his dying ass across the sea would’ve been impossible.
So ok, he overruled her on the succession argument ( which I’m sorry technically he can because it’s his house and name) and then he didn’t want to join the war and she was like “nah we’re pulling up lol”. That’s super balanced so like how is she hypocritical?
H answers questions that have been in her inbox for far too long.
IT IS A RELATIONSHIP. IT DOES EBB AND FLOW. IT'S CALLED COMMUNICATION. SHE'S NOT HYPOCRITICAL.
With grace, I can vaguely assume why some people think there is a power imbalance. Just on a surface level. But I also think that those people are not willing or haven't actually considered the scenes and the dynamics that they are watching or the context of when these sorts of remarks are made, either.
Criticisms I've seen have generally gone along the lines of: she didn't want Viserys to marry Laena, but Corlys pushed her, she didn't want Laenor to marry Rhaenyra, Corlys pushed her and she didn't want Lucerys to be the heir, but Corlys overruled her. Very, very basic readings of what happens, with no more depth than that. For me, I can see how not only are those very, very different examples and moments, but they are also not examples of Rhaenys bowing down the whims of her husband. Just because she is not the active participant does not mean she is not a willing participant.
My main frustration with this sort of reading, certainly with the first and second examples that I've listened (the third is an outlier due to Corlys's monopoly on the subject), is that it dumbs down Rhaenys's complexity, cruelty and frustrated ambition. It also takes away her agency and her equality with her husband. I've said before how I view her perspective to not be against either move, but simply more realistic.
She's not going to cheer Laena marrying Viserys but she is going to stand by side with her husband and say that it's the strongest match Viserys can make. She can want that match and that marriage and still be a bit bothered by it. The two can live together and probably do. To her, this is how the world works, especially at that point in her life. So, of course, she's going to be present in that decision and advocating for that course of action.
And again, she's not going to be jumping up and down about Laenor matching with Rhaenyra because there's danger in the match as much as there is achievement. But, nevertheless, she's standing side by side, nodding and giving her agreement. She can still be seduced by the idea of elevating her children and wearing a fabulous frock and sticking it to Viserys, and take some satisfaction in her cousin having to beg. She doesn't actually express a wish to veto the betrothal. She just says that she's worried about the dangers of Rhaenyra's succession.
Her powerlessness against the "system" that she buys into and props up is not the same as her being powerless against her husband. By which I mean that, her acknowledging the negative impact of these political choices is not taking away the fact that she is making them alongside Corlys. He is at the forefront because he has to take the lead as a man. Not because he's having to drag her along with it all. It's a reflection of their reality rather than their relationship, if that makes sense?
In short: in political decisions and in public, Rhaenys plays second fiddle because she's a woman, not because Corlys forces it to be that way. These are deals for Corlys to make as Head of House Velaryon. He is on the front-foot, he is the public political power in their marriage because that's how society works. In other words, it's actually pretty redundant to analyse that because it's just... normal.
What isn't normal is that Rhaenys is side-by-side with him. That he values her opinion. That she speaks. That Corlys and Rhaenys often share looks and silent communication: most notably when it comes to the betrothals of their children. There is real implication that these two have spoken, at length, about these choices and come to a united decision about it. How else can they present such a united front to their adversaries?
We don't see Rhaenys and Corlys speak privately about Laena. We barely see them talk privately about Laenor. And with the succession thing, as you say, it's his name and his house. She has no power to meddle in that succession. She cannot declare the succession for Driftmark on her own. That's not in her gift.
And again, as you say, she yells at him, tells him to get his ass in gear and they go down and declare for Rhaenyra because that is what she wants to do. That is what she thinks is right and so he is doing it for her. It's clear as day when he looks at her and she smiles at him and Rhaenyra thanks her because she's painfully aware that Rhaenys is the one who made it happen.
Rhaenys's just never toiled in "service to men". Has she been affected and degraded by the patriarchy? Yes! Big yes! They took her birthright from her. They made her roleless in a society she should have been running. But she doesn't toil to Corlys. She has never toiled to Corlys. To say so is a degradation to their marriage, quite frankly.
And it's a degradation to the awareness that Rhaenys has of the political structure around her and the agency she exerts and free will surrounding her own mind and choices. She does things that prop up the patriarchy. Yes. All the women do. She definitely does things that, in an ideal world, she wouldn't have to do. But she does that because it suits her own interests at the time. Never because a man told her to. And never to the detriment of herself and her safety and her sanity. It's always her choice. For good or ill.
#house of the dragon#hotd meta#hotd#rhaenys targaryen#corlys velaryon#it comes down to those two having a relationship where she can talk about the problems#alicent cannot and never could and just falls in line#and that’s the bigger issue than rhaenys ‘bending’ to corlys#this comes up because people don’t like rhaenys or rhaenyra calling out alicent for just helping men with no reward#rhaenys may not like a decision of corlys’ but she can make that opinion know and help where she wants#it’s her choice to side with her husband or not and corlys knows that#rhaenyra has no problem calling it out even if she loves the men she’s calling out#she’s heir so she only needs to ‘toil’ to her father and even that doesn’t happen#rhaenyra knows who she is as does rhaenys but alicent doesn’t and that leaves a problem#they are princesses while alicent is queen and she has so little power because she chooses to service men with no reward#where r and r will get something out of it#sorry if i went one way i wasn’t suppose to#but rhaenys isn’t toiling#she doesn’t do this because she doesn’t have a choice#she doing it because strength is something everyone needs and being at public odds with corlys#gains her nothing

The idea that it is somehow "bad writing" if rhaenyra has a better character than aegon imo is fundamentally misunderstanding the point of the conflict
The dance is not about two completely equal factions where you choose the one you prefer ro root for like a sport's match... the point is that rhaenyra's succession as the by far eldest child was set in stone by viserys, and yet people argue and doubt it and want to depose her exclusively on account of her gender; if she had been a man noone would even be having this discussion
The point is that even if Aegon is a s*x pest and not qualified and never even wanted to be king anyways people will still think he somehow is the one deserving of the throne over rhaenyra and call him the only valid king of this conflict in the annals of history, for no other reason than that he was the firstborn male child of viserys
And for sure Rhaenyra and her faction will do their own share of war crimes in the future once everyone starts playing dirty, but it is important that she is presented as just a normal person in the beginning; her succession is not doubted because she is uniquely bad of character, it is doubted because she breaks centuries of patriarchal tradition
#hotd#house of the dragon#rhaenyra targaryen#it was always about what was between her legs#because if it wasn’t? aegon would have never even been considered a possible candidate for the throne#she was a woman who played the game as a prince would while also being a woman and almost won#and many woman (alicent) got mad at that#that rhaenyra not succumbing to the system lead to her being happy#that she fought against the system and could love and smile more than alicent ever did#aegon was shit and they all knew that but it didn’t matter#he was a man and that’s all he needed to be#but rhaenyra had to both succumb to the system and fight against it for her to even be CONSIDERED

why is tg obsessed with baela 'claiming' driftmark as if she wasn't going to be the queen consort of the seven kingdoms if jace supposedly ascended the throne after rhaenyra?!?!
#because it’s a simultaneous thing of#baela would have been a better queen than alicent would#and it shows how much they honestly don’t care about her but just want to bash rhaenyra#corlys could have changed his succession but he didn’t#whether that’s his pride or his protectiveness over his son’s privacy#who knows but tg don’t care#they even think of another woman being able to do something and suddenly they are the pioneers of woman’s rights#they want to use baela as a way to bash rhaenyra but are gonna the first ones calling for her death when she fucks up aegon#again.#any women who’s not rhaenyra has rights to rule on their own#that’s the green hypocrisy#baela targaryen#baela the brave#team black#people calling baela and rhaena irrelevant....rot.#fire and blood#the most l take is to not consider her as a targaryen. she should have claimed dark sister.#she was a thirteen year old bullying a twenty one year old she was so visenya#house of the dragon

bro green stans are something else because if I was presented with a woman with a nose like Rhaenyra's, I'd simply kill myself for her no questions asked at once get on my level
#emma darcy’s nose is the entire reason i they they are the perfect image of rhaenyra#targs arent suppose to look like models#they need to look like greek gods and emma was perfect because of that#‘they are closer to gods than men.’ well then show that shit#BAMM. emma darcy.

for all the parroting about loving evil characters and wishing they were worse and hating the morality argument, team green does not like the fact that their favs aren’t well liked, nor cared about that much 😗
#house of the dragon#hotd#like no one is going to tear alicent from your hands#she ain’t real#none of them are but yall choose them#yall choose to like this characters and defend them so do and don’t get mad when you get eaten up by the majority#‘i’d go on about why I don’t like rhaenyra but id sound like a westerosi peasant.’ ??????#and that doesn’t concern you???#you ain’t gotta like her enjoy the characters you want but#AND THIS IS A BIG BUT#but if you are going to admit to hating her for weird ass standards that the book and author are telling you is unjust and unfair than maybe#just maybe. you are the one who missed the point#maybe. just maybe. you hate her because many can recognize the unjust system and nature of Westeros and have no problem with it being killed#maybe you hate that no one cares about your favs past the dance but many do care about the characters you hate??#or maybe you can’t stand a bad bitch having people who will defend her through everything even if your favs don’t have that#who knows but back to the main plot here#you chose them. you sit here and give whatever argument you want but it’s not a good one and you know it#‘she has bastards?’ the people who want to destroy her created those rumors.#‘she married daemon?’ people who hated him put aside their differences for him because it wasn’t about him#‘she lazy and spoiled.’ your favs son or your fav is literally the same if not worse#you don’t have good arguments none and you all know that#idk but yall have deluded yourselves into thinking the greens were popular#then get hit by the broke baltimore bridge when you remember that not even half the fandom likes these guys#the greens being so unpopular even after the showrunners sent a clean up crew made it clear that the personalities weren’t the issue#sympathetic or not they are the bad guys. they are the antagonists. THEY ARE NOT THE SIDE THE MAJORITY IS ROOTING FOR.#their actions are the reason they aren’t like and they are worse than whatever rhaenyra has done to piss you off#deal with it and love them as villains or wtf up and cry. i don’t know just deal with it without bitching.

Being the daughter of Alicent Hightower would be a special kind of hell. That woman would not rest until her self-insert daughters were either married to an old Lord allied to the Greens or sent away to become Septas. Also, she would never abide any daughter of hers acting like a mini-Visenya. Alicent would work overtime to ensure that her daughters were exact copies of her with none of the "queer Targaryen" attitudes.
like being alicent’s child is not for the weak, as we seen. she isn’t a good mother, she’d expect you to be perfect all the time and the smallest showing of weakness makes her rant about how every sacrifice she’s made means nothing because you aren’t acting the way she wants.
and that’s the funny thing to me, because fics were the oc is a carbon copy of alicent in looking is one where im like, she’s fucking hate that kid because they’d be a direct reflection of her that she cannot fight, that she cannot hide. aegon looks like her but he’s everything she not and worst than what she thought rhaenyra was. helaena is her only daughter who is so different from her in every way that she can’t even try to understand. aemond is a carbon copy of the man her friend is devoted too. we do not even know if daeron is around. but the daughter who looks like her, the one who is a pure reflection of her stolen youth??? my god, save that girl.
alicent wants little septons and septas who can be scared and intimidated and then be modeled like she was with otto and she could never get that. someone said that in otto’s hand alicent was a stradivarius but aegon in alicents hand is a butter knife and that’s the best way to talk about them. she wants all her children to be Stradivarius’s but they are all cheap silverware that will get replaced the minute they aren’t usable anymore.
im ranting again, oops
tdlr: she wants a certain thing and can never get it, because her children aren’t her. they cannot close themselves up and whine about duty and sacrifices because they’ve never had to. she’d send her children to the highest bidders even begrudgingly because the ‘stability’ of the realm matters more than their happiness. exactly like it was for her.
#house of the dragon#hotd#team black#anti team green#anti alicent hightower#she a horrible mother and that’s fine#she could have been a better mother if her father wasn’t him#if her husband was him#but she can be to blame because every bad part of her children can be directed by her#we can see her in their parts#we see her in every bad action they do#Viserys was neglectful so what he contributed to is so small anyways but the most active people in those children’s lives??#we see it in them more than viserys
