it's honestly so annoying when people bring up the original casting for daenerys because it always seems like implicit shade towards emilia.
"tamnzin would have been great bringing book dany to live" "tamzin would have been great at showing book dany's personality " ...well, guess what? SO WOULD HAVE BEEN EMILIA IF THEY HAD LET HER! the issue with show daenerys is not the the actress didn't have the acting skills to portray her accurately, is that d&d didn't want to portray that version of daenerys. emilia's daenerys is how these two stupid men wrote her to be so i hate to tell you this but *the* book dany was never going to bless our screens, not even with tamzin

Tormund: Who is your favorite person?
Jon: Dany.
Tormund: Okay, who do you trust most?
Jon: Dany.
Tormund: Well, what's your favorite thing to do?!
Jon: ...Dany.
Tormund: What about your favorite thing to eat. It can't be Daenerys!
Jon: And yet.

daenerys targaryen never had a bad track “he is fire made flesh and so am i” BANGER. “a dragon is no slave” SLAPS. “dragons die. but so do dragonslayers” SEXY. “i am the calamity that will change these slavers back into people” ICONIC. “it is time to cross the trident” BEAUTIFUL. “i must have fire in my eyes when i face them, not tears” EXQUISITE. “yes, now, now, do it, do it, take me, take me, FLY!” WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY. don't even GET ME STARTED on “the fire is mine. i am daenerys stormborn, daughter of dragons, bride of dragons, mother of dragons”
