Arya Stark and Daenerys Targaryen are Superheroes Masterpost

winnifredburkle:

So I wrote a lot of meta about these two girls, and why they are superheroes, and I’ve divided it up into seven sections to make for easier reading. I recommend reading all of them in order, but of course, you don’t have to.

Part One: Arya Stark is a Good Person

Part Two: Arya and Violence

Part Three: Arya and Femininity

Part Four: Dany, Violence, and the Double-Standard

Part Five: Dany Gives a Shit

Part Six: Arya and Dany are Feminists

Part Seven: The Real World Application ™ (Conclusion)
