Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen [ENFJ]

OFFICIAL TYPING by Charity / The Mod

Functional Order: Fe-Ni-Se-Ti

Judging Functional Axis:

Extroverted Feeling (Fe) / Introverted Thinking (Ti)

Daenerys in the first season easily makes her feelings known to her brother about being sold as a wife to Khal Drogo, but then goes on to prove her willingness to bond with the Dothraki society by committing to all the traditions of their people, eating the horse heart, and adopting their verbal traditions (“the stallion that will ride the wind”). She is an advocate for the poor and marginalized, championing the rights of women and rescuing them from rape, gathering her forces from primarily slave nations, and liberating the Unsullied along the way. But as Dany grows more powerful, she becomes more ruthless. She demands everyone accept and acknowledge her as the true queen of the Iron Throne and gives no quarter to her enemies, enacting harsh punishments (crucifixions, feeding people to her dragons, having them burned alive to set an example to others) if they do not. She makes attempts in later seasons to forge bonds with Sansa Stark. Dany’s main problem is her extremely poor logical skills – she uses Jorah and then Tyrion to help her make rational decisions, but most of the time, ignores them in favor of her own choices – which SPOILERS wind up getting one of her dragons killed, and the Dothraki decimated. She is often sidetracked from her goals by her feelings of empathy or love (she halts her forward progress and stalls out in Quarth, because she has torn down the slave-founded nation, but has no logical ideas about how to replace it; she comes to the north to fight the White Walkers with Jon out of romantic devotion to him). She’s almost incapable of questioning her own motives (inferior Ti).

Perceiving Functional Axis:

Introverted Intuition (Ni) / Extroverted Sensing (Se)

Dany had much better Ni in the earlier seasons, where she felt a mystical pull to the dragon eggs. She knew to put them into the fire so they would hatch without being told. From that, she adopted the symbolic role of the Dragon Mother. She made the connection between her inability to get burned and her being the one true ruler of the Iron Throne. Dany is so devoted to her vision of what she wants for her future, she tries to force other distractions into it – reasoning that her liberation of the slaves, the Unsullied, and the Dothraki will help her gain the throne. When Tyrion points out the low odds of her success, she sneers at his suggestion that she find “another dream.” But her Se is her weak point. Dany has knee-jerk, violent reactions to everything. She abandons her intuition and trusts a witch to heal her husband, because it’s an immediate fix. She tends to liberate cities to help their people (Fe/Se) without a larger plan for their future, or stopping to think about the greater social and economical impact. She enlists one of her handmaidens to teach her how to seduce (and therefore manipulate) Drogo. Once she sees potential in the Unsullied army, Dany betrays the slave owners and burns their city to the ground. She eats horse hearts, engages in black magic, threatens people much larger than herself, engages in sexual pleasures, and walks through fire. But the Battle at Winterfell proves her poor ability to adapt to a quick-moving environment – Dany is so caught up in trying to handle her emotions, she fails to notice a horde descending upon her dragon. She loses another dragon in an earlier episode to a reckless battle north of the wall. She prefers to stay distant from the action rather than engage.

Hogwarts House: Slytherin

Values: cunning, resourcefulness, and ambition.

Dany wants what is hers by birth, the Iron Throne, and will allow no one to stand in her way. She starts out agreeable but determined, but with each increase of power, becomes a more intolerant, brutal ruler determined to eradicate anyone who does not accept her as queen. She charms and persuades her husband into the idea of taking the Dothraki across the sea on her behalf, she sees potential in the slave armies and the Unsullied, and she increasingly refuses to listen to council.

Enneagram: 6w7 so/sp

Tritype: 621 The Supporter [6w7 2w3 1w2]

She can be inconsistent, waffling between submission (as a sister and a wife) and dominance (standing up for herself, defying her brother, and telling him she will punish him if he ever strikes her again); showing great acts of mercy and terrible acts of punishment for wrongdoing. Dany trusts the witch to get what she wants, then when she realizes this is a mistake, becomes increasingly distrustful of everyone else in her life, listening to them sometimes but not all of the time, and sensing most are about to betray her. She can be indecisive and hesitant to move forward, waiting a long time to take her throne and then moving with precision. She integrates into the Dothraki culture by appealing to her husband, showing him she can be what he wants her to be, and feeling safer once she’s accepted. Under stress, she reverts into taking instant action for immediate success (trusting the witch, for example) – being defensive over her role as queen, and insisting others submit to her (slipping into unhealthy 3 behaviors). Her 7 wing makes her adventurous, seek pleasure, and gives her a strong sense of needing to service the needs of “her people” (as a social 7 wing). Her 2 genuinely wants to help people and successfully earns their devotion by being the Mother of Dragons and the Liberator of the Oppressed. Her 1 fix has a black and white view of moral rights and wrongs and determinedly corrects it wherever she encounters bad behavior (but she is not great at noticing her own hypocrisy or thinking of herself as being cruel, harsh, or unjust). As an so/sp 6, she falls into the trap of thinking in terms of “us vs them” (either you’re with me, or against me) and into 1-ish dictator behaviors, built of a desire to prove herself as strong and seize control.

Sansa x Sandor Season 8 fix it a/u:

Sensing his distress from afar, Sansa wargs into Sandor and holds his emotional turmoil at bay, allowing him to sucessfully defeat Gregor. Afterward, she guides him to take Arya and escape Drogon's destruction of King's Landing.

While on the road, Arya teaches Sandor about warging and skin changing and wonders if Sansa accidentallywarged into Sandor during the Hand's Tourney, leading him to protect Loras.

Arya reunites with Gendry and Nymeria, whose wolf pack leads them North.

The group returns to Winterfell in time to celebrate Sansa's coronation. Arya tells Sansa: "All of those years ago, you said that you knew the Hound would win. But you never said how you knew it."

Bran confirms that Sansa has bonded with Sandor and that she will eventually realize her full potential for power as a warg.

This girl who stands so quiet and grave at the mouth of hell. This girl who is all quietness and sanity and innocence. You wondered why I wanted her?

A Hound will lie to you (and himself)

This will probably be obvious to many, but oh well. Lately I’ve been talking to a few people who take “the Hound” at face value. That is, he tells you he’s honest and that he likes to kill, therefore he’s exactly the sort of mindless brute he tells you he is. Because a liar would never say that he’s honest, right?

So, okay, he says he’s honest, and it’s a big part of the persona he puts on. The loyal, brutally-honest, brutal-in-general hound. I believe that he believes he’s honest, but if you look at his words versus his actions, it doesn’t hold up. These are some of his most iconic statements from the books:

Killing is the sweetest thing there is.

And here is a list of all the times the Hound kills people in the books. He’s never shown to do it for fun, even when he can get away with it, and he avoids doing it where it’s not necessary. If killing is the sweetest thing there is, why doesn’t he do it more often? Left to his own devices in the Riverlands, he earns his keep as a lumberjack, not a sellsword or a highwayman.

If you can’t protect yourself, die and get out of the way of those who can.

For someone who believes this, Sandor spends way too much time trying to save people he doesn’t have to save:

Nobody ordered him to do any of that; he chose to. Weird how he keeps all these weaklings around when they are just in his way.

A hound will die for you, but never lie to you.

Aside from the previous two ‘lies’, there are actually several times in the books when Sandor lies, either outright or by omission. Some of these are a bit iffy, since we can’t see what he’s actually thinking, but others are prety blatant:

And a bonus little birdy chirp

haha ok sandor.

Fanart 100 “orange” 

These notes were found amongst the scrolls and notes of the famous master Sixmus of Citadel; a historian, a thinker and a collector. They were written with his usual bold script and filed among the many peculiar and interesting stories he had made notes of, titled as “A Wolf Father”

And so Winterfell of the North rose again.

On the third year of the false winter, just before the dawn of the new spring, a large congregation from the Vale travelled across the land to reach the North. They were led by Lady Sansa of the old and proud House Stark. The ‘Disturbances on the Wall’ had just ended and the people were left leaderless, but her arrival signified the start of a new dawn. The rebuilding of Winterfell was initiated and people of the North toiled side by side with wildlings, who toiled next to the folk from the Vale.

From thereon Lady Sansa - pale and beautiful with her fair skin, deep blue Tully eyes and rich auburn hair - was everywhere overseeing the works, tirelessly and diligently attending to her duties. She never let go of her responsibilities, not even when young lord Rickon returned and was anointed as the next Lord Stark.

And wherever Lady Sansa went, a tall warrior with a hideously scarred face followed. The Hound he used to be called, although in Winterfell he was known as Sandor Clegane. His reputation was that of a deserter and a godless man who had turned his back on his king and on his brothers at the Quiet Isle, and many muttered that it was only a matter of time before he would turn his back on the North as well. Yet his lady’s trust in him never wavered. Where one was, the other was never far away. Lady Sansa’s maids revealed that sometimes the man stayed in her solar even after the matters of the day had been dealt with and the maids had prepared their lady’s chambers for the night.

Idle tongues wagged at first as they are wont to do, but not a soul could believe that anything more than strange ties of allegiance bound those two together; the lady so fair and graceful, so kind and gentle, and the man so ugly and coarse, so brutal and rough. And so people grew accustomed to the sight of the beauty and the beast side by side, even after Winterfell stood tall again, strong and proud as Bran the Builder had it made.

When a few years later Lady Sansa gave birth to a bastard son, dark of hair and grey of eye, and announced that his sire was a wolf – in the same vein as all the babes of Alysane Mormont from the Bear Island had been fathered by a bear - nobody gainsaid her. Although whispers that a hound rather than a wolf was responsible were uttered, the babe was as much loved by the folk of Winterfell as his mother, and so were all the other babes later born to the fair Lady Sansa.  

Lady Sansa never married and Sandor Clegane never turned his back on the North. 

The last dream before the long night.

Hey all, so this is my first Game of Thrones fic that i’ve written in several years (I mostly write Tolkien/rdr2 stuff) but after the latest season my GoT obsession and Sandor Clegane obsession has returned and so I wrote this - the first of many Sandor-centric I’m sure!

Pairing: Sandor x fem! reader  I  Warnings: Smut - 18+/some aggressive/derogatory/threatening language  I  Word Count: 4,241

Summary: Before the white walkers reach Winterfell, the reader confronts Sandor about their feelings and confesses their deepest desire and what they ‘truly want’.  It’s mostly pwp - but I tried to make it somewhat romantic and fluffy as well as smutty! 

Your confidence and unwitting approach to the men that looked at you with such downcast eyes was in your stride as you marched into the hall. 

You’d heard men say they could smell fear and always thought it such rubbish, how could one smell fear, fear was a feeling something maybe animals with another sense could smell but not humans. Only now you knew it was true. Fear stank of piss and shit, it stank of stale beer and mud and rotting flesh. In the midst of the fear there was only one thing you wanted.

You scanned the room and saw him sat at a table drinking wine with Beric and a few of the others.

When you sat it was without a word, the others moved up for you accordingly for you needed no introduction. In a way you hated that and envied others who had no title or name gained through fame. 

The moment you sat down you heard the familiar sloshing of wine into a cup, looking up Sandor’s eyes met your own as he poured you a generous goblet. 

Before you could speak Beric’s hand clapped on your shoulder, “We make a fine crew.”
