The irony of the #ASongofMadness final is that, of all our characters, Brienne and Daenerys could really, really do with meeting eachother (There& #39;s a few more tweets on this put don& #39;t you dare go another second without thanking @davosfingers for all they& #39;ve done for us this year)
Anyway, let& #39;s consider the female role models Daenerys gets to meet in her journey. She has Irri/Jhiqui, but they are subordinates. Missandei is a child. Other than that...Quaithe and Galazza Galare? That& #39;s about it. Lots of people are surprised when they first see Brienne...
...imagine Dany& #39;s reaction. Her entire arc is like 98% male, she rarely meets any women of power. Now she meets a towering female knight, who can fight with all the passion Dany feels in her soul? I say she& #39;d love her. Its the same in reverse. Brienne has been forced to...
...jump from boss to boss. Renly fell, Catelyn became Stoneheart, and as much as Jaime means to her she was still serving Lannisters. Brienne stands for everything that& #39;s right, ESPECIALLY protecting the little guy. Dany has the same inclinations. These two just GET IT.
