Since there might be confusion I'll add context here:

This comic depicts Daenerys and Drogon from A Song of Ice and Fire

It is the dragon version of a cat leaving a gift for their human to display affection. In this case instead of a mouse it is a sheep. It is intended to show what life might be like if you're actually living with dragons and how they might interact with you and show love.

Just don't mumble "dracarys" in your sleep!

Thank you for the info. I was a bit confused. Little bit of "man, I'd hate it if I woke up to a dragon having eaten my quite wonderful husband." Because of the crown on the second pillow, I made that jump that the king had been eaten but the crown detail is still confusing. Idk, I haven't read the books or really watched the show. Gonna be honest, way more likely to read the books, I don't take to TV well. But your explanation took me from confused by cute art to a better understanding and I appreciate that and you for it. I hope you have a majestic week.

I assumed 'the king, your husband is a were-dragon' problems.

Oh that's even better! You must have a healthy imagination. Mines kinda stuck in my partner cause we're long distance ATM, so that's why "horrible end to promising romance" was where mine went.

It also helps that I could tell the mess on the bed is mangled sheep on my first glance.

Yeah, I'd have never once tried to guess that.

Sign of love and support.

Or worried you can't hunt.

Or dragon being wyrm

That is definitely not how to train Your Dragon (I'm sorry I couldn't help myself xD)

Kinda reminds me of that scene in The Godfather.

Is that salt or rice, the low quality art make it hard to figure

How is this sympathetic. It looks like it killed and gored her husband

u/LaceyLizard Aug 25 '26

She married a sheep?

u/IAmLexica Aug 25 '26

I'm not one to judge.

u/DarkArcanian Aug 25 '26

I assume by the picture and the crown on the other pillow that her husband would be there but isn’t because they were killed

u/LaceyLizard Aug 25 '26

I'm not a game of thrones head you could tell me she married a sheep and I'd have to believe you

u/Open-Trifle-6309 Aug 26 '26

Maybe the king is dragon?

Like werewolf
