I here you man! Phantasmus right here. Its been months since I logged in. Been lurking since there's nobody out there. Awesome art you got there! Not an exact match but still there's a resemblance.
I figured if I kept posting someone might respond!
lol. thanks. And ya, not an exact match. But color choices and the basic aspects I think of the outfits; as well as Arya's hair style are pretty damn close. Which tells me my design choices are pretty canon for the characters.
I've decided that as a fanfic writer, and a shipper, I'm going to do what femslash shippers do best and ignore the parts of canon that totally fucking suck. Like most of S6 and most likely all of S7 and when it happens S8 of the show. More so if Starky is right (Which Starky is most likely right. ) and canon does the Farm Boy trope.
Unfortunately that leak on season 7 pursuing the farm boy plot and the no good twist wherein one of our beloved Mother of Dragons dragon will be killed by the Night King, making him one of his own are being shoved to the fans and viewers of the series throats (which is utterly disgusting for me) most especially to fans who're following the series and reading ASOIAF at the same time. I think its a waste of time watching season 7 and also season 8. I'd rather stick to the books and read fanfictions written by the good ol' ladies and gentles of our humble house; fanfics which are thoroughly written which will put that mediocre fanfic written by HBO's talentless writers to shame. Please keep writing Arya/Dany fanfics. It is one of the reasons which keeps our house alive despite the looming adversaries it is facing such as the DanYara shitters I mean shippers, the farm boy plot making Jon f*ckin' Snow king of westeros (it should be Daenerys who will rule westeros dammit!) and those Jon/Dany shippers sprouting out of nowhere like mushrooms (seriously they're as shitty as those DanYara shippers) due to the spoilers for season 7 suggesting that our beloved Mother of Dragons, the would be Conqueror of Westeros and Blood of Old Valyria will be hooked up with Jon Snow (Again only Arya should be hooked up with Dany). I think the only good thing that will transpire in the series would be Arya's kill fest on all of House Frey's members, reunion with Nymeria and if possible, the twisted outcome of the valonquar prophecy wherein she will be the one killing Cersei while wearing Jamie's face. I just hope that the house will be as alive and well and will have that burning enthusiasm once again. Coz it seems like the house has been turned into a ghost town; like a place which had been long forgaotten.
P.S. I just want to ask what had happen to the other members of our humble house most especially to the pioneers of the forum; our good lord commanders and queensguards?

Arg, don't remind me of the leaks. Fuck the leaks. I'm honestly trying to cling to the hope that the show has totally diverged from canon and the books will end differently of GRRM ever stops procrastinating. On the bright side, I have Frosted Faith open cause I'm making a few edits to the first 3 chapters. Adjusting timelines, adding some details that I didnt before, before I sit down and start chapter 4 at long last. I hope to get a few more chapters out before the soul crushing S7 starts, while avoiding further spoilers.
I honestly have no idea what happened to the Lord Commanders. As for Starky and Munky? Starky's shipper heart was broken by the S7 leak. And according to Dayz (Dont quote me on this, take it with a grain of salt, words are wind and all that.) the two of them had some sort of falling out. But idk?
Still; I'm trying to keep this place alive, if only so we have a place to vent without fear of haters once S7 starts. Lord knows places like tumblr will become extremely toxic for us between the "true" "Stargaryen" shippers (Jon/Dany) and the DanYara shippers. Which, fuck both those groups. Fuck the Jon/Dany shippers for stealing the Stargaryen tag, and fuck the Dany/Yara shippers for making a ship name thats fucking close to our new one.
As far as I'm concern theres only maybe 3 ships that fall under the banner of Stargaryen, if I want to be generous. Dany/Arya, Dany/Sansa, and Sansa/Jon (After last season, I kinda ship it, not gonna lie) Technically, you could argue that Sansa/Tyrion also falls under the Stargaryen house banner, but only if you also read the books and know enough of the history and lore to understand that Tyrion might actually be the Mad King's bastard. However, Jon/Dany is a Snowgaryen ship. Actually, technically, one could argue that Jon's last name should actually be either be Sand, because he was born in Dorn, or Waters, since his father was the prince.
Does anyone know the lore of bastard names? Is it based on where you were born, or is it related to where your mother or father are from? Like, whats the rule of thumb here? We know that Gendry is Waters cause he was born in Kings Landing, and his mother was a whore there. And we know the Edric, Robert's other bastard is Storm because he was born in the Stormlands, where his father is from, and I assume his mother as well. Would Jon be Snow, Sand or Waters?

Why the hate on our ship especially on tumblr? At least our ship exist not just by the sole purpose of hooking up both characters. Dany and Arya as characters in both the series and the books have so much parallels with each other; both are exiled ladies/princesses of their houses, possesses the attributes of their houses: for Arya, having the northern look and being refered to as "the blood of the wolf" and as for Dany she had the Old Valyrian look and also being refered to as "the blood of the dragon". What strikes me to this ship is that, Dany and Arya had this close resemblance to their kin Rheagar and Lyanna like they're some sort of incarnates of the Dragon and the Wolf. For me based on what I've mentioned above serves as the essence on why the DanArya ship exists. Hooking up Dany and Arya is just a bonus.

Oh man, you dont even know all the parallels and connections between our favorite ladies. It gets pretty deep as you start digging into the history and lore, and lean more on book canon then show canon.
Honestly, the ship started more of a friendship ship, rather then a relationship ship. But naturally kinda evolved as the characters got older through the books/show. At least for me it was "Man, these two characters would be so badass together" to "Man, these two characters would be so badass together" Which is great. Because thats how relationships should evolve. And is part of the appeal.
I hope so. I mean, we are having random discussions here thats spanning two threads and theres only two of us. xD Those lazy assholes (I say that with great affection mind you) need to get their ass back on this ship.
Haha. Trueeeeee... Everyone should step up and raise the banner of our house/ship and show those self-proclaimed "superior" pairing than DanArya that we could go toe-to-toe with them; that the very foundation of the ship is not just only by pairing Arya and Dany for the sake of hooking them up or because there are hints and subtexts provided by HBOs fanfic, but instead due to the lore, the history and the parallelism which exists between both characters being paired. But sad to say many fans in this fandom do not dig deeper they just chose to pair characters based heavily on hints and subtexts a very concrete example would be the DanYara ship.

I think the best part about our ship is that so many of the writers do a shit tone of research into the history and lore of the 'verse. Starky for example is and was fucking amazing with how she took what little we knew of Esso and made it bloom into a living, breathing thing of rich history and culture in her fics, even with her fics being very focused only on the povs of our favorite Dragon and Wolf.
We all do it. Digging into the lore and history, comparing canon, using the different prophocies given in canon, making the connects and parelles. And because we do it, because we take this world and flex it to make it real, to make it seem like a living, breathing place. our ship is best ship, because its not mostly smut filled oneshots (Though we do have those. And yes, many are badly written. I wont lie to you)
The DanYara ship is based on one scene, a few lines of dialog, and the fact we know Yara, is gay. HOWEVER, in the books. Asha, (The show change her name, because they didnt want anyone to confuse her with Osha the wildling) has a husband, and never went across the narrow sea. Her ass eating uncle on the other hand does. with a dragon horn. And thats a whole back of dicks that I personally tend to ignore.
Yes, yes Essos that mysterious continent east of Westeros across the Narrow Sea had remained untouched on the tv series. It will end in f*cking 8th season and still the Doom that caused the destruction of Old Valyria, the rise of the free cities, the origin and foundation of the House of Black and White being run by the Faceless Men wasn't been shown on that goddarn tv series. If they pried more of Essos, fans would know more of Dany's ethnicity, the brillance of the order of the Faceless Men on how they are able to operate without being caught and the Valar Morghullis-Valar Dohaeris dynamics. Eventhough the series is concentrated on Westeros, they can't even do the origin of the Nights King and his army of Wights properly. They also suppressed charaters in the books such as Young Griff, Victarion Greyjoy, Lady Stoneheart and many more.
Honestly, at this point, because of the talent of our wonderful brothers and sisters, I sometimes have a hard time seperating Canon Esso, vs Fannon Esso. Which isnt a bad thing. I think if I where to do something involving Esso, I'd get a hold of the others and pick their brain.
Arg. Yes, "Young Giff" Aka Aegon Targaryen, or, as we call him. The Mummer's Dragon. Hes a plot device. Nothing more.
Victarion Grayjoy is a shitstained asshole, and I frankly care little for his plotline and the idea of the Dragon Horn. I dislike him more then I dislike Melisandre. I killed off the Red Woman in FF, Vicy Grayjoy I havent even given thought to. I'm likely going to ignore his existence actually. Which is worse then just killing a character off.
Same with Lady Stoneheart actually. And the brothers without banners. Like the concept of the Brothers without Banners made sense, they are deserters turned "good" bandits basically.I use the term good loosely. In a war savaged land such a collection of men would make sense. However, the whole Red God aspect, with their Risen-Again-and-Again leader followed by the Undead Lady Stark/Lady Stoneheart was a saucy just-had-mexican-food shit splatter in the toiletbowl of wartorn westeros.
Again, another plot line I basically ignore 90% of the time.
There is a shit tone of things the show did, and wont ever cover. The Free cities, Essos as a whole, Doom, Origins of the Faceless Men, Origins of House Targaryen, the Conquest of Westeros. The Blackfyres, The Dance of Dragons, Origins of Valarian steel, of Dragon Glass, ect ect ect. So many things. Things more interesting then Stoneheart or Asshole Grayjoy
Welcome~ This forum is a place for all Dany x Arya shippers to meet up and discuss the world, the lore, and the wonderful characters who make this ship! Have fun, everyone!
