Scion of House Targaryen...

From angevin2: In The Song of Ice and Fire, which House do you belong to?

Your Score: House Targaryen

72% Dominant, 63% Extroverted, 54% Trustworthy

Ancient. Noble. Passionate to the point of insanity. Transcending lesser beings, you are of House Targaryen.



You are a dominant personality—in fact, you are the most dominant of all eight house types. You will not suffer yourself to be ignored. You will not suffer yourself to be ruled. The phrase "I will not suffer myself to _____!" was practically made for you. You are willful, arrogant, and exceedingly dangerous to screw with. With a temper like yours, anyone stupid enough to saunter into your line of fire won’t soon forget their mistake.



You are also extroverted, which means that everyone in the world knows exactly what your intentions are. Unlike your cohorts (who hide behind smiles and courtesies and court politics), you think of it as your birthright to come riding in on an enormous dragon, breathing fire and fucking your siblings. Hey, what you lack in subtlty, you make up in style!



Finally, you are trustworthy. Your absurd amounts of power and borderline psychosis are not used unjustly. Unlike many, your general aims are just and true. You were bred for rule, and the fact that you cannot rest until you are doing so is not your fault. If you make up your mind, it becomes reality. Never one for empty threats or vainglorious lies, you can only speak the truth. And the truth is "fire and blood."



Representative characters include: Daenerys Stormborn, Rhaegar Targaryen, and Viserys Targaryen



Similar Houses: Baratheon, Lannister,and Tully



Opposite House: Frey



When playing the game of thrones, you play it to the death.

Best line: "You will not suffer yourself to be ruled. The phrase "I will not suffer myself to _____!" was practically made for you. It was my favourite of the families. No, I don't have a temper and I don't annihilate my enemies by training my dragons to incinerate them, but... I might. I just might.

Just call me Dani. Or Rhaegar. Not Viserys, please.

Hey, this means we're in the same family!

Which, apparently, means we should make out. Or something.

Either make out or kill each other. Possibly both. Possibly both at once. You never know with Targaryens.

Actually you never know with any of those families. I'm glad I wasn't a Lannister, but Tyrion was a Lannister and he was terrific. (Unless his putative father was right that he was a bastard, and not a Lannister at all.) I think every family has one good representative among all the rotten bastards and sadistic monsters....

Hmm. Maybe not House Frey. Were there any decent Freys?

Anyway, the Targaryens were at least beautiful and clever. Sanity not guaranteed.

Yay! There's no sex like hatesex!

(I am reminded, now, of my Theory of why slash based on Shakespeare's history plays is so much fun, and it basically boils down to "for any given pairing, the odds that one of them will end up killing the other one eventually are extremely high." This says something about me and I am sure it is not good.)

...I need to actually read these books, clearly; someday I shall actually start on the huge huge pile of Things To Read When I Have Time For Leisure Reading...

Clearly you are a true Targaryen.

"for any given pairing, the odds that one of them will end up killing the other one eventually are extremely high."

I pause to ponder the history plays... Yes. Definitely yes.

It confirms a certain Targaryen tendency within you. Though I suppose any of the SOIAF characters (or families) would fit the mould.

I need to actually read these books, clearly

Ah. Well. Yes. I loved the first three. The fourth was disappointing. I have great hopes for the fifth. What I like best is the way you can't - well, I can't - predict where the plots are going. There are some great larger-than-life scenarios. Like the humungous-high wall of ice at the north of the world, resmbling Hadrian's Wall, only colder and scarier and much, much bigger, which manned by the Night's Watch, who remind me of Templars, in a growly sort of way. The whole thing is remarkably big - the number of characters, themes and ideas is amazing.

There are ideas taken from the Wars of the Roses, but don't look for historical parallels: it's sheer fantasy. But the magic is interestingly rationalistic.

Don't read it when feeling depressed. Good things do not happen. Especially, good things do not happen to good characters. A large number of the characters are not good, but that doesn't help them any, either.

Sadly, nobody writes histories!slash except for commodorified and me. Well, and people who write Henry V/Scroope for Yuletide, but I don't care about that. Bah. Everybody likes the idea of Hal/Hotspur but nobody ever writes it.

It is all a great shame, as the histories, or at any rate the second tetralogy, CLEARLY run on mansex, or the repressed desire for it.

(I think it's because the names cause undue headaches. Except that wouldn't explain all the HV/Scroope Yuletide fics.)

Don't read it when feeling depressed.

...man, it'll take me a long time to get through it, then. Well. I actually rather enjoy reading grim stories about bad things happening to other people, when I am depressed, which is, again, probably indicative of my less-than-sterling mental health.

I now feel vaguely challenged to write Henry/Hotspur. If I think of an angle. Two good characters.

If you enjoy grim and nasty material when you're feeling down, well, then, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is just the thing for you,though it's by no means the grimmest and nastiest of the series. Hie you to your nearest library and pick up "A Game of Thrones" for a rousing good time. I had to put "A Clash of Kings" down for six months or so because it was getting me down, but six months later I was still intensely curious about what was going to happen, and read the rest, and enjoyed it thoroughly.

I'd probably be writing slash about these characters if only I could find someone among them to slash.
