←Alex Van de Sande’s wandering about

I didn’t want to have to wait 16 years to share my favorite characters with my new baby daughter, so I made her a Daenerys Children Book

So I planned my paternity leave to coincide with our 39th week but my daughter only came at 41 weeks and 3 days, giving us plenty of unplanned free time, so I tried to make a page per day during that period.

I wanted to cover Daenerys story in season 1, but adapt it to a kid friendly format and with a empowering message for my daughter, so I decided to take as many liberties as the average Disney movie takes with their original content, which is to say, a lot.

So I really removed most of the plot elements and it’s a story about a princess who really wants to be a queen, meets a bunch of weird people who give her lots of bad advices, underestimate her and say how it’s impossible for her to be queen. In the end she decides to do things her own way and makes herself queen of the dragons.

This could only be verified by full nodes previously. EIP 100: Change difficulty adjustment to target mean block…
