#that dany had to specifically use commands and whips to get drogon under control in daznak's pit

[navree]

“i’ve never seen daenerys say ‘serve me drogon’ just sayin” okay but isn’t a major plotpoint in both show dany’s and book dany’s arcs that she has difficulty controlling the dragons and the reason she locks them under the pyramid is because they’re running wild and won’t listen to her? isn’t the whole scene in daznak’s pit in the books about how daenerys specifically has to whip drogon and give him commands and has to subdue him after he nearly rips her head off because he isn’t obeying her words alone and hasn’t for a while at this point? like it’s a major theme in this entire franchise that dragons have difficulty being controlled especially if you don’t entirely know what you’re doing and that’s a bit theme in how dany’s story plays out in both versions we’ve seen so far what the fuck are you talking about.

#personal #like yeah she's never said 'serve me' specifically but it is a BIG THING #i assume this is from a show only person because if you've read adwd then you know #that dany had to specifically use commands and whips to get drogon under control in daznak's pit #because he was literally about to kill her #it wasn't like in the show where he showed up to save her from death and was there to help her out of intrinsic recognition #he just smelled blood and thought 'yummy' and had to be subdued manually before she flew on him #but even in the show there's that scene in the beginning of season 5 where she goes to the meereen dragonpit #and they start trying to eat her or set her on fire #doesn't she point blank say 'i can't control them anymore'??????? what are y'all ON???? #the idea that these are highly intelligent creatures (more intelligent than men) who are choosing to obey these people #because of magic and dragonblood and all that isn't a farfetched idea #and the concept that their own intelligence and decisionmaking takes control over their riders sometimes is very interesting #a dragon might fly away from a battle even if the rider wants to fight it because it wants to save itself and the rider #like arrax taking what happens as an attack and trying to attack back #which prods vhagar into treating this situation as a threat that needs to be subdued #in spite of both aemond and lucerys immediately trying to stop the dragons from taking over #is actually pretty interesting that tracks with these ideas as dragons as something that can't ever entirely be tamed #they're not horses they're fucking DRAGONS #and it's been like that literally since the first book came out back in the nineties y'all gotta calm down
