I really don’t like how confident people are assuming the actors in HOTD hate every moment. ohhhhhhh liv cooke reactivated ig to promote another show which she must love more? maybe she’s contractually obliged but exempt for HOTD because of all the shit she gets from you ppl!!!
I love house of the dragon but series 3 is so hard to watch bc it’s just rhaenyra making bad decision after bad decision. girl your people are starving
don’t even know how to fix this. feels too far gone. but my boring office job that in theory is a supplement to my creative pursuits is so exhausting that it’s all I can do. I don’t gig any more, I don’t write jokes, I’ve had an agent for a year with nothing to show for it
no acting credits, nothing to show for the last five years of my life but debt and burnout and bad diet and no exercise because I am expending all of my energy just getting up and going to work every day. and it’s so all encompassing that I can’t begin to think of how to get out
as a certified narnia lover I am very excited for what greta gerwig is doing!!! I feel the updated timeline is going to bring some fun modernisation when she gets to the pevensies and I’m excited for everyone to call it woke forever
my singing teacher is either ghosting me or legitimately missing and it’s upsetting me so much. she hasn’t replied to my texts or turned up for our lessons in almost a month. the venue we use also cannot get in touch with her
think this guy has genuinely forgotten he’s mixed. they hate us both equally dickhead doesn’t matter that I’m a woke degenerate and you’ve allegedly found a denomination that doesn’t hate your guts!!!!
I said 1930s, not 1940s. A lot of the replies are hysterical and ignorant of history.
1930s problems;
Economic collapse - hyperinflation leading to depression. Mass unemployment. Decline of industry/production.
Political collapse - constant reshuffling of cabinets, frequent elections. Political violence endemic: commies fighting in the streets, political assassination.
Social decay - Transgenderism and sexual degeneracy rife (Institute for Sexual Science). Mass abortions. Welfare state. Women’s suffrage. Antisocial behaviour. Jewish influence in media and finance. An obsession with race mixing (pre-DEI).
Do any of these problems sound familiar?
1930s solutions:
Unemployment almost eradicated in one term. Jobs created: Autobahns, land reclamation, Reich Labor Service. Mass rearmament & conscription. Married women not expected to work. Loans provided if wife left work, portion forgiven per baby born. Non-natives excluded.
Communists and socialists detained.
Degenerate books burned. Modernist art mocked. Great art highlighted and promoted. Black music denounced. Contraception and abortion restricted.
Non-natives stripped of citizenship.
Crime fell. Economy boomed.

It's sad really, bc one of the best parts of asoiaf/early GoT was starting out loving or hating a character, & slowly having your opinion change as they progress through the story, but now people just pick a character to stan & accuse the writers of favouritism if they change.

(arguing with the bookseller) actually in the early modern period "romance" meant a fanciful narrative set in an imaginary or exotic world so there is no need to have a separate "romantasy" section
in hindsight maybe a bad idea to do a week long run of a musical and then have two days off and then immediately go to do a week and a half of Edinburgh. I’ve got to pack bc I leave tomorrow but I am on my last fucking legs lol
everything I hear about the Mad King play and HOTD series 3 is making me want to get fully back on my asoiaf bullshit. please I don’t have time for this
Oh my god I just got 20 minutes into clipping my 45 minute comedy show into tiny little bits for instagram and I clicked something wrong and it’s all GONE I’m going to jump off a bridge
deeply truly get a fucking LIFE

Yes, it's very notable in Homer how great men drive all the action, with no interference from other, much more powerful forces, often associated with natural phenomena and frequently female.
