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.
ppl romanticize hotd s1 (even tho they still complained about it incessantly at the time) bc the story had still not progressed to the point yet where they’d have to come to terms with the fact that it is not, and never was, the thing they wanted it to be
mysaria initiating sex with rhaenyra after sylvie tells her a whore will always be a whore. exploiting rhaenyra’s desperation for the validation she’s been unsuccessfully seeking from alicent. the power imbalance. the proxy. the bodily autonomy. the daemon conflict. GOD.
i think hotd faces difficulties in terms of plots and arcs feeling “active” because 90% of the chararacters Do Not Want To Be In The Story. unfortunately i find that a really cool decision and one of the only ways to write a properly anti-war narrative

YouTube’s AI Detection Kicked Us in the Face
Every creator's worst nightmare just happened to us: The YouTube algorithm actually blocked us. It started slowly at first. Some videos started showing strange view fluctuations. Our second to last video did very badly, but this just happens sometimes, so we didn’t think that much about it.
But then our last video, about Superpredators, did *extremely* badly. It was our worst upload since 2013. But it did badly in a weird way: Almost every single metric was well above average: People clicked the video more often and watched it for longer, and the people who watched it, on average, loved it! So it should have been at the very least an average upload, not the worst in over a decade.
So we quickly got in touch with YouTube, and they actually confirmed pretty quickly that something was going on. It turned out that YouTube’s automatic AI detection tools wrongly think that our very much human-made videos are AI Slop. So it started to choke our channel. Our contacts at YouTube were amazingly helpful and transparent with us, and hopefully the bug is fixed for now.
In principle, we are all for blocking AI slop from the platform; it really seems to have been bad luck.
Since we really love this video, we have taken it offline. We are updating and changing it a bit to make it worth watching a second time. We’ll reupload it in a few weeks, and hopefully this time the anti-AI tool will feel ok about it. If you have watched it before, it would help us a lot if you watch it a second time and all the way to the end for an Algorithm boost!
We’ll keep you posted!
Sure Aang is a powerful avatar and leader but can he handle an animation supervisor role?? 🤔
A fun lil animation I did a while back as my time on the movie was wrapping up.
Since the media has been doing Alysa dirty, I decided to make this compilation
She doesn’t put her worth in medals. She knows a single performance wont define her as a person or skater BUT that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about skating+
