Is Daenerys Targaryen really the most beautiful woman, or is everyone saying that just to flatter her?

Ashara was handmaiden to Elia, and her brother Arthur Dayne was Rhaegar’s best friend.

This is also why Ned harshly forbade any speculation at Winterfell that Jon Snow was Ashara Dayne’s daughter. Were it not for a Rhaegar-Ashara relationship, that would be the perfect cover story for Jon. But Ned knows the truth: that Rhaegar got Ashara pregnant. And he has no idea who might have survived who knew this. Therefore, any speculation at all that Jon was Ashara’s child could easily have gotten him killed … because Ashara did in fact bear Prince Rhaegar Targaryen’s child.

The most beautiful woman in the world, thought Quentyn…. Sometimes at night he lay awake imagining her face and form….

Why do people immediately disregard subjects such as flat earth, without opening their minds/taking time to research?

We know from Catelyn Stark that the Lady Ashara Dayne was “tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes.” And we knoe that many men were smitten with her beauty, purportedly including Barristan and Ned Stark.

Ashara was rumored to have become pregnant shortly before Robert’s Rebellion—and to have given birth to a daughter.

Ned flips out when Robert wants Daenerys killed and quits being Hand for that reason—after not quitting even over Cersei sending out men to kill his own daughter Arya who did kill the innocent boy Mycah with Robert’s approval.

Hence, Dany is really Jon Snow’s half sister, Rhaegar’s daughter, and Ashara Dayne’s child. She was named Daenerys by her mother, Ned, or Wyman Manderly at birth in honor of her being Ashara Dayne’s daughter.

Dany mostly appears in her own viewpoint chapters, so we actually don’t get too many third-party descriptions of her, but when we finally do, Barristan Selmy, thinks to himself, that when he closes his eyes Dany looks like the spitting image of Ashara Dayne, only with platinum-blonde hair rather than raven black.

The most beautiful woman in the world is very subjective, but Dany is certainly supposed to be one of them!

Why are terrible, boring art pieces done by famous people worth so much while beautiful pieces done by amateurs are worthless?

Ashara and Ned are rumored to have begun a romance at the Tournament at Harrenhal, right before Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark met one another.

Dany’s Hidden Twist as Ashara’s Daugher!

I say the shortest line between all these facts is that Ashara Dayne initially agreed to a surrogate mother for Rhaegar and Elia, at the request of her brother, Rhaegar’s best friend and personal body guard, but called off the arrangement because she met Ned. This led Rhaegar and Elia to ask Lyanna Stark to be their surrogate mother instead, after Rhaegar met her and was taken with her intelligence and ability to warg her horse magically, as well as her beauty. He also spoke to Elia in Dany’s vision about the Song of Ice and Fire, so he may have decided that Stark Ice magic would complement his own Targaryen fire magic in a magical offspring.

Ashara Dayne, by Bella Bergolts

But George Martin says in an interview that you can also watch that he strictly kept his endings secret from David and Dan until after Season 3 when he realized the show would pass the books. Then he called them to Santa Fe, New Mexico and spent three days explaining his intended plotlines and endings for all the characters. Only this was already two years after David and Dan say they decided on Dany’s show ending. So they had already decided her fate was to become the Mad Queen like her father the Mad King years before George revealed to then she isn’t actually the Mad King’s daughter, but instead Jon’s sister, Ashara and Rhaegar’s child.

And why shouldn’t she be? The Targaryens are famous for being beautiful. We all know Jaime Lannister is incredibly handsome and Cersei thinks that he appeared ordinary next to Rhaegar, Dany’s uncle.

How should an atheist respond to a religious person who asks, "Why do you hate God?" What are some appropriate and inappropriate ways to answer this question?

There are specific characters who call Dany the most beautiful woman in the world to her face:

The most beautiful woman in the world has need of my axe [thought Victarion].

Even after all these years, Ser Barristan could still recall Ashara’s smile…. He had only to close his eyes to see her, with her long dark hair tumbling down her shoulders and those haunting violet eyes. Sometimes when the Queen looked at him, he felt as if he were looking at Ashara’s daughter ….

When the Civil War ended with the murder of Elia’s babies, Ned realized he had to send the distinctly Targaryen-looking baby with unmistakable violet eyes overseas to be safe with her uncle Viserys and William Darry. Robert would never let the girl live.

In fact, based in part on Barristan’s belief that Dany looks like Ashara Dayne’s daughter, I am one who has proposed the theory elsewhere that Dany is fact the daughter of Ashara and Rhaegar. We know for a fact that:

This was a twist that it was impossible for David and Dan to do in Game of Thrones given how they had decided to plot the show! They told Emilia Clarke in an interview you can watch that before Season 2 of the Show, they decided on her dark fate going mad just like “her father” the Mad King. You can clearly see this because one of the first thing she does in Season 2 is give a speech about burning up cities with her dragons that does not exist anywhere in the books. Then she makes many threats throughout Season 2, also not in the books, that first gave rise to the Mad Queen theory for Dany’s ending. Theorists were picking up on David and Dan’s clues about her future that they inserted into the show.

The "Tooth Hurty" Joke Has Its Origins In Ancient, Armored Fish - Defector

Ned was rumored to have brought a pregnant woman north as the first thing he did at the start of Robert’s Rebellion.

But as Robert’s Rebellion was starting, Ashara realized she was already pregnant with Rhaegar’s child, but only after Rhaegar and her brother Arthur had gone off with Lyanna. As the realm was descending into war and chaos, she went to Ned for help. So he brought her north on his secret journey from Riverrun through the Vale of Arryn to White Harbor. That’s where Dany at the Wolf’s Den, the secret ancient Stark tower now controlled by the Manderly’s. This is the spot where Manderly hides Davos after Davos has retraced Ned and Ashara’s exact route from the Vale of Arryn through ‘Sisterton’ to WhiteHarbor, allowing Ashara to give birth to Jon Snow’s sister.

Dany was thereafter passed off by Viserys as his younger sister, born of Queen Rhaella, rather than his aunt, because otherwise Dany’s sons would have the direct claim to the Iron Throne as Rhaegar’s heir in precedence to him. It all makes sense from Viserys perspective, and there was no one left alive to tell Dany otherwise as she grew up.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

The Dayne’s named their youngest boy Ned Dayne after Ned Stark.

‘Oh most beautiful of women, you have only to speak it and it is yours,’ Xaro called down.

The doctors told his wife Elia she could not survive a third Targaryen pregnancy.

Why do heterosexual men like anal sex with women? I think it's because they secretly want to have anal sex with a man? What do you think?

‘My queen,’ [Jorah Mormont] said, ‘and the bravest, sweetest, and most beautiful woman I have ever seen.’

The Martells have agents and spies who have described her this way. Euron Greyjoy is believed to have seen her face in visions and described her in this way to his brother. It’s therefore safe to say that she is so gorgeous that she is widely described by those who have seen her as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Rhaegar believed he needed to have a third child to be the third head of the dragon in the War for the Dawn.

So we got David and Dan’s ending for her that was nothing like George R.R. Martin’s, because even they cite no reason for her decline at the end of the show in their interviews by HBO other than that she’s suppodely the Mad King’s daughter. Compare this to Tyrion Lannister, who has vowed vengeance on the citizens of King’s Landing in the books for betraying him at his trial, and Cersei Lannister, who has actually descended into paranoia in the books and used wild fire to burn down the Tower of the Hand. Moreover, we also have book visons by Aeron Greyjoy of his brother Euron sitting the Iron Throne—suggesting he will violently conquer the city. So we have many book characters with established motives for destroying King’s Landing in an attack, compared to Dany who has spent her entire life longing to regain the city of her forefathers and rule it happily.

Xaro Xhoan Doxas and Jorah have ulterior motives for calling her that, but we also hear other characters who have never even met her who believe her to be the most beautiful woman in the world based on third-party descriptions of her:
