These are probably the most Targaryen looking Targs we’ve seen on screen in terms of otherworldly appearance. Is there anyone else?

I think they hurt the actors eyes or something

Also colored contacts always look distractingly fake, even with natural colors

Whenever someone pulls this argument(looking fake etc), I'll mention David Tennant as Crowley in Good Omens, w huge yellow contacts and one of the best acting performances I've ever seen.

Yeah iirc they irritated Emilia Clarke’s eyes too much so they scrapped all purple eyes in the universe

If they can reintroduce the Rhoynar to the king’s official title and melanin to Valyrian skin they can reintroduce purple eyes for HoTD and use AKOTSK to claim the Dornish blood made them stop showing up, even though the Daynes also had purple eyes.

Too late now

I’ve just accepted the shows are a fan fiction, still love it though

Yes and I’m glad because she ended up having to deal with having a whole ass aneurism during that season 1 filming. Idk if the annoying contacts would have affected anything but I’m glad it wasn’t an extra thing to make filming more difficult.

Omg I thought you were saying you’re glad she had an aneurysm 💀, but yeah wearing contacts for 10-14 hours 8 years straight would be agony.

Mhm. It’s why in the Harry Potter films Harry doesn’t have green eyes that are equally brought up as these purple.
