Not a queen, a Khaleesi.
#Woman King #so many Dany feels after the last episode #her entire narrative is structured as the origin of a Woman King #from captive bargaining chip princess #to captive queen-Kahleesi used for breeding #to taking control of that role by eating hearts both real and metaphorical; using her love as a means to power #but never consciously; that is the key to her; she has a dark and glorious will to power #but she will never willingly enslave or sell herself or others to gain it#and that makes her different from any other player #and then when the Khalasar was to abandon her after the Khal/King the source of her power as queen died #she took the term Khaleesi; her role within it and transformed it with the birth of her dragons #she burned away the weaknesses inherent in the role of Khaleesi and made it pure power; she with her dragons and magic embodied power #and as she was Khaleesi; so the term Khaleesi transcended what it was and became one with true power #that is; it was no longer attendent upon the Khal; to be Khaleesi was to be King #she is not a queen nor a princess nor any other courtly Westerosi role that might be thrust upon her #she has shaped her title; Khaleesi; made it her own; made it kingly through her own body and agency #she is no queen; she is Khaleesi #she is Woman King #fear the Targaryens; for they will always shape their own titles through the instrument of their bodies #they are conquerors; they will colonize your lands and your power structure and transform it to match their own inherent grandeur#for the dragons are them; they are dragons; there is no separation #and she is coming for all your false titles
