Give me anything Dany and I'm happy. Thank you for this 4 hour treat David.

I came into this chanel like two weeks ago and I'm addicted now. You're good dude...

"House Targaryen was written as backstory for Daenerys" 👏 This is the best analysis channel there is. So glad you released the edited view, will rewatch again and again.

David, I can’t believe I’m just now realizing this but you would make an amazing reading teacher. The way you use thinkalouds to explain and make connections is exactly what a great teacher does :)

Hi David! I’ve been binging and rewatching your fully produced videos the past couple months and want to say #1 thank you for these edited streams, cuz sadly, my personal flavor of ADHD prevents me from being able to keep focus during the live streams, and #2 I can’t thank you enough for all that you do and the fantastic energy/vibes/silliness you bring. And rad costumes. And all the symbolism that blows my damn mind. Anywhoo, your videos have become my go-to comfort watches on really bad days, when my depression is the gnarliest and I can’t stop spiraling. So, thank you for teaching me all the cool things, making me laugh, and overall helping pull me out of the deep dark pits ❤️

Can't be a full Valyrian until she spends 1,000 hours painstakingly building perfectly level roads.

38:04 Devotees of Kali often call her Ma Kali because she is the mother, holding our souls as we move through the cosmic timeline. She strips away the ego so we can see what's really there. Dany will be forced to drop the ego (the Game of Thrones) to fulfill her dharma (the Others). It's a great comparison.

Reaghar failing to get Dany fully set up for the prophecy to come is a great commentary on parenting. Regardless of your efforts, life has a way of subverting even the best laid plans.

Mirri Maz Duur being inside one of the dragons helps explain how there's a (head of the) dragon that will turn against Dany

"Well she's not a mortal man. She's a damn.... lizard baby" LUV IT

So happy for this stream 🔥🙏 The Daenarys Theory Iceberg is back ,and we love it ❤

Ayeeee let’s get our boy here some cheddar for this gem of a stream. Paws off KZfaq censorship!

I LOVE your Daenerys content. Your understanding of her is insightful always.

A near 4 hr long iceberg video, let’s go!

one of my favourite Dany theory is free range viserion, its just so sweet and I genuinely believe it could happen just because of how sad it is

Every single video you do about Dany is my favorite video! You always bring respect to the conversation that is tragically missing a lot of the time without being biased in your takes. So happy for this upload!!!

Lyanna Stark also thought that as well. Rhaegar was looking for someone with old magic in the blood both Elis and Lyanna qualify in that regard. I believe that blood only has old magic in it can successfully breed with a Targeryon dragon bloodline

Watching this, two random ideas came up, which I now sacrifice to the God of Lorehunting: With all this symbolism of Dragons being comets being swords, and considering the forging of Dawn by Azor and Nissa...is it possible this legend actually describes the "forging" of the original Dragon? Named Dawn? Secondly, Tyrion's bloody white wooden dragon, being both a symbol for dragons and Weirwoods, further hints at their origins being both Fire and Green Magic. Just to contribute. Also: Tyrants and Slavelords can burn for all I care. No tears wept at all.

1:23:40 I appreciate how Atlantis Morrisette depicted them as having various skin tones. As you said, it was such a massive imperial entity they would have people quite literally from the ends of the earth as well as the more familiar Essosi and Westerosi locales. Too often I see artworks based on things where no such information is given, yet they are usually depicted with 'western European' looks. This image is both visually interesting and also makes sense contextually

Great idea to rerelease this! Can't wait to listen

fever dream is awesome! hidetaka miyazaki (the creator behind dark souls and elden ring) makes his whole team read it to get a sense of description and vibe

Night gathers and my watch begins

Outstanding; really appreciate the re-release as this is a really solid piece of work! Crazy that it's nearly 4 hours; your flow makes it fly by. Thank you DL!

I love the idea of the Dosh Khaleen ruling the shattered slaver's bay

My favorite character, grew watching the show with my dad and read all the books by the time I turned 16... thank you for honoring her ❤

This is just what's need in the A&E waiting room, you sir are a scholar and a gentleman

I’m really been appreciating the content you bring. Discovered your channel last week and been listening to everything. Keep it up. Praise Garth

Ah man. Can't believe I missed this live. Thanks for the excellent background video to have while taking care of my bebes.

What a pleasant morning surprise

I am consistently blown away by your insights. "Fire and Blood" as an abolition battle cry a la John Brown? Genius. And I've read Fevre Dream.

Hey David ! What a treat to wake up to. I absolutely love the “theory’s” and especially the “what if” style videos. In reference to Dani being your favorite and a lot of us being Targaryen fan boys would love to hear your thoughts maybe one day on “what if Targaryen rule stayed at full power, and passed ice and fire prophecy down accurately and responsibly through the lines .” How would they have prepared for the threat in the north? How many dragons would they have by that time? Would the Ice king still have attacked Westeros under full Targaryen strength and rule? Just a cool idea thought I’d share with you and super curious to maybe one day hear your thoughts on a livestream. Love the content and thanks for the hours of entertainment David !

Long live book's Daenerys, beautiful as slavers in flames

Always love Dany content ! loved your recent reread of her chapter that was a great stream!

Great job LML, honestly amazing stream. I love when it all comes together. And if I might just add, you have gotten so much better over the years of explaining things, Bravo sir

27:41 i wish I could cross between dark fantasy universes and give Targs the twinkling dragon torso stone. I feel like it would have really helped Aerion Brightflame's self esteem. Like "here use this and you'll be the best dragon ever buddy, no need to drink weird alchemical stuff"

Teddy Roosevelt once delivered a speech immediately following an assassination attempt where he was shot. He finished the speech with the bullet lodged in his chest. That was almost as cool as this video.

Ohhhh, I almost forgot! Watching right away. I saw this live, so I definitely know it is excellent!

Yay! Love early morning content to get the day going 🎉

RIP Bam Bam Bigelow. Dude was a legit hero who ran into a burning building to save some kids. Respect, legend.

Came to rewatch the White Walker Iceberg and found this❤️‍🔥 Thank you🤯

I wish the show had stuck closer to the books. Short cuts really hurt the overall product. (I'm a book purest, tho😊).

Thank you for another amazing video ❤ love having your videos on while I work.

I could listen to this dude talk for hours about ice and fire. Love these streams dude.

Been loving listening to these while i work thanks david ❤️

I keep missing lives 😢 You are so good at this David! Thank you! I enjoy watching these so much! ❤

I hope when the horn is blown that many dragons come to fight The Others.

what an amazing video thx man

DL has rose-colored glasses for Daenerys 🔥 I also have a supportive love for Jon Snow ❄️

Stunning video. Thanks for the content!

One of your best yet❤

Jon skinchanging Rhaegal to give Tyrion a dragon ride would be so amazing 🥹 additional thought!! the original Night's Queen was a sort of "mother" to the Others, so perhaps in the Weirwood net the Other recognize her Nissa Nissa/Night's Queen traits, her Nissa Nissa symbolic echos if you will, and begin to call her "mother", which influences Dany to stay to lead the Others back into the gree sea

Love the content, not enough people talk about the importance of symbolism in fantastic stories.

For any onepiece fans. Anyone else notices that Luffy and Daenerys have common themes. they both free slaves, are destined to bring down a wall, have dragon blood and have general Dawnbringer /sungod vibes.

A perfect video to go with my coffee

Anyone that sees “mama” and DOESN’T think “BEAR” after is about to experience the Find Out™ part of the saying, lol. Mothers are *so protective*. Dany being both mother and dragon shouldn’t be tough to reconcile 🙃 (Or for another example: how well would stealing an egg away from a dragon mom go? I imagine not very well, but I would absolutely be there with popcorn to watch.) John Picacio is SO GOOD, god his expressions are unmatched. I love his art. His Mel is one of my favorite pieces of art ever. Last so I can unpause and watch lol: does asking politely for freedom ever actually work? I can’t think of an example. 😭 Fire and blood it is, then!

Catching the rewatch!

Excellence as always, much appreciation 🫶

Absolutely love your work. Trying to work through your library haha so much content. I listen to you when i clean my house. Very slow going because i tend to stop and pay attention

I still have hope we’ll see winds someday. Fingers crossed :) your vids made me a mega fan of this franchise. Give me all the spin offs for many years to come lol

I only feel a little bad but I really want to see fAegon get hit with the undeniable truth that he IS fake, before he gets eaten. TWIST THAT KNIFE.

58:00 great, now I have some very "dudes rock" crow exchange between Kings Landing and the Wall in my head. Rheg: "Guess who just had comet sex? Prince that was promised incoming, babeeee!" Esteemed Maester Aemon: "Noice."

Thanks for making these you always come threw when I need an escape from get togethers with the in-laws

Another great vid!

God you guys don't know how I'm gonna enjoy this video till the last second. Thank you David

This stream was good the first time and somehow even better this time. Thanks bud

Well thank you for this gift of a stream after a long day of work 😂

Favouriting this to watch on the weekend when I have some more time!

Damn David been putting out heat 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I wasn’t sure if this was a reupload of a previous stream until you told the story about Goose trying to nest in your drawers. Poor little guy

Ghost grass is supposed to cover the whole world, but I can barely get it to grow in my backyard. What's going wrong?

i wish i was able to see this live! sooooooo much going on!!!!! amazing🎉

Love you, bro ❤

I've read Asoiaf long before I've discovered your channel and all unbelievable symbolism and theories. Even then I've always thought about Dany as a truly good human being. That does not mean she is always right and true, but that just means being human. She does however learn from her mistakes and always try to repent and do better. Binging your videos and seeing all evidence of her character summed up, only solidified my first impression. I just can't fathom how anyone can think she will do complete 180 and start burning innocent people in her conquest for throne. If something like that happens, it will surely be accident brought on by wildfire caches. After that she won't be able to live with herself.

1:19 the Marwyn voice is hilarious! loving every minute of it.🎶

Great to see this reuploaded, I think I know why it got demonetized 😁 Dosh Kaleen ruling over Mereen is brilliant, hope that practice becomes more widespread. I used to believe "men should lead" because they're better at the big picture while women are better in details... But now I'm realizing, at the risk of oversimplifying, men are better in the material/worldly/linear stuff while women are better in the spiritual/more complex stuff. Of course gender isn't everything, but Dosh Kaleen have a lot to offer and Mereen is in great need so perfect solution 🥰

Yes! A new video

19:03 damnnn right! Cus she's a baaaad bishhh💯💜❤️‍🔥🌠 that art is PERFECT too🎉🔥 reVolutionary fasho💜💜

Let's goooo!

Thanks King Dave

I've been told a few times in comments that i didn't like how the show ended Danny's arc because I see her through rose tinted glasses.... My answer to that is no, it's because the Daenerys that comes back after the battle of winterfell is a completely different character, and her mad queen arc is 3 episodes, and doesnt begin the moment she lets Viserys walk...

1:20:08 is a SUPERB Alex Jones as Marwin - not certain if that was intended but my mental picture of Marwin is now forever altered xD

Flows nicely! Hive mind made me think of Enders Game - he killed the hive queen to win the war... Maybe it's Nights Queen that needs to be destroyed to get the exiled spirits back into the weirwood net?

Love your stuff brother, as usual you deliver more than one can imagine, and I can imagine alot, but you beat my expectations by lightyears every time. 1+ for parrot/valerian instincts:) Hugs, Solo-sweden

Best character of the entire asoiaf. Glory glory hallelujah

this iceberg DOPE AF can't say I'm loving the possibility of ghost dying. but direwolf to fireworks makes me a Lil happier😂😂

When was this streamed originally? I scrolled through the live streams, was it taken down?

I disagree a bit about when you said that in the first book, Dany is the only Targ and the rest are designed later behind her. On my last re-read of AGOT, I noticed that Bobby B mentions them many times before they ever say anything about Dany. He even says the line "I'll make sure every last one of them is dead" to Ned on their first trip out together when he's staying at winterfell right in the beginning. They mentioned Rhaegar, Ned asks him how much he remembers about that day. I got a very big vibe of "THIS BIG EVENT HAPPENED 15 YEARS AGO SURROUNDING THESE TARGARYEN PEOPLE AND THE MAD KING WAS INSANE" before Dany is even really introduced as a character. So the dynasty as a concept was already there and integral to the plot. Also look at the scans of his original 3 novel pitch to editors, he described the main plot/mystery of the (then) trilogy to be about learning Jon's parentage. All of that was more important and central than Dany's story originally. He scaled her role up later.

Thanks!

Actually, I like when the most important battle/ climax happens before the end of a series. So, I'll be ok with the big battle against the others to happen before the short battle for the iron throne.

what do you think about the crusader kings 3 AGOT mod? the mod is more geared towards the books

Oh no, I guess I'll have to watch it again :)

Im wondering if you've seen the "Words of Wisdom" titled tweet with a blue rose underneath it from Martin a couple weeks back, then the quote being "dreams have only one owners etc etc etc". If you think its similar to the killing Kong tweet when he finished the last book and we got it four months later...

why @3:03:04 have i heard that before is this an old stream you uploaded or did you just say the same thing as before? i swear im going crazy

I wonder how Dany is raising funds to feed her army and freed slaves. Even as the ruler the taxes she can collect are surely limited because she chooses to break up the slave economy. I also wonder about the children she frees. Does she just assign them to freed adult slaves to be cared for until they're considered adults themselves?

I noticed an error on House of the Dragon earlier, Episode 9, Aemond says I'm next in line..Plan to be found, etc. But, he isn't next in line at all. Aegon already has kids by that point and THEY would be next in line...if they weren't all usurpers :D

Amazing cut up of a great stream!

Love for you to dissect Blood Meridian someday.

petition to make Glasstral Projection into a t-shirt !

2:05:20 where's the Dany artwork of that picture from?

Dany is a tricky character for me. George rarely rights individuals that do everything correctly, or everything with full justification (grey characters), so I'm on the lookout for a major mistake by Dany, or a "no good option" choice that has major consequences. I feel she has had some with Meereen, but I think she's in for a rough start in Westeros. I don't see her as a "villain in the making," but similar to how Stannis had his choice to kill Renly and the Battle of the Blackwater backfire (or wildfire) in his face, I think something will happen in Kings Landing that results in a sobering reality check for Dany (everywhere the Dragons danced, the people died). I see this both in an actual sense (Dragons are very difficult to use with precision, such is the nature of fire, thus collateral damage becomes inevitable) and in the sense of a potential conflict with Griff/Faegon. Targ civil wars have a habit of just obliterating the land and people (Aegon's Conquest, Dance with Dragons, Blackfyre Rebellions). Ultimately, I think the potential/probable conflict with Griff is going to result in a similar conclusion as Stannis had. "I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne. I think whatever happens, Dany will understand the true cost of fire and blood, and instead of "going mad" or become a tyrant, will take the damage she may inadvertently cause/witness/play part to and learn from it. Last note, I like your idea of her becoming a nature spirit. It fits one, with the "dream of spring" title, with the series like ending on a note of rebirth and regrowth after death and decay of winter, and it parallels nicely with the Garth the Greenhand "Summer King/Father" idea. The concept of Dany as a mother that gives life is a really cool idea, and goes nicely with her goals now as being a Mother and Protector or "Mhysa" to the downtrodden and afflicted. Ultimately, I'm excited to see where her story goes in the end. Awesome stream David, had my brain gears churning out thoughts and ideas all evening. Really appreciate the introspection and analysis you put in and generate in your fandom on this awesome series we have.
