truly love how the hedge knight ends with dunk calling all of prince maekar's sons freaks and that egg should get out of there while he's still young and has a chance of being normal. and maekar is just like 'well. i can't argue with that lol' and lets this absolute random dude try his hand at raising his son
#aemon was also normal but dunk didn't know that yet (and that was probably just because he was already separated from them)#looking forward to this scene on the hbo adaptation it'll be so funny#asoiaf#dunk and egg

BOOK!DAENERYS in A Game of Thrones vs. SHOW!DAENERYS in the first season of Game of Thrones
Viktoriya Novikova was around 14 when The Little Mermaid (1976) was filmed, making her an age-accurate fancast for book!Daenerys (who is 13-14 in A Game of Thrones).
By comparison, Emilia Clarke was 23-24 during the filming of the first season of Game of Thrones.

“We have various shows we developed that we shelved. HBO developed them. We hired them, we wrote scripts, and they decided not to proceed with them — for now. If it is made, I don't want to hire some other writer to have his version. I want my version. I want to get a director on it who loves the material and would be a great director.”
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN — recently about adaptations of his books.
#‘i want MY version’ !!!!#he hates ryan as much as we do#ryan condal managed to piss george off in a way not even d&d#the amount of direct shades he's throwing at condal and hotd is insane#george r.r. martin#grrm#anti ryan condal#anti hotd#house of the dragon#hotd#tv shows#book adaptations#fevre dream#hbo

the thing is i don't care about how hard it must be for the hotd writers to adapt from book to screen with budget and time limitations (even though i am historically sympathetic enough to these difficulties and i do understand the need to make changes to fit the story in a different medium)
but what i see as understandable excuses would be shoddy cgi or costumes and less impactful action scenes or even fewer action scenes/battles. which we already got anyway, the only battle (rook's rest) is humdrum and rather spiritless. to a certain extent, i can even excuse cutting out characters or merging them or simplifying storylines.
be that as it may, the fact of the matter is that, even the scenes which should have cost the least amount of money in this whole production, i.e. the sitting-around-in-rooms-talking genre of scenes for which GoT became famous, SUCK. the politics in this show are non-existent. the characters' motivations are so wishy-washy to the point of parody. the character arcs look like they were settled via a game of russian roulette. the S2 version of characters doesn't make sense as a progression of their own S1 canon.
and this has nothing to do with money OR time constraints. it plainly only has to do with bad writing. a talented writer can absolutely have a canon-divergent vision and an understandable desire to adapt their own vision. but they have to recognise if they have the TIME or the BUDGET to bring that canon-divergent vision to life, if they can sufficiently commit to integrating those changes in a way that feels organic to the characters. IF NOT, THEN DON'T DO IT.
i get it if they're big rhaenicent stans or if they really, really like this version of alicent that lives in their heards, the one that would ditch her kids in favour of rhaenyra or if they're so enamoured by the idea of heroic rhaenyra (and that's just scratching the surface when it comes to all the points the show fumbled). but if they don't and can't fit those changes in a way that doesn't destroy the logic of the narrative, in a way that doesn't leave other characters hanging dry with no motivation left to carry out the plot points they have to hit, they should have had the maturity to drop those ideas and settle on something else that could have been easier to film with the resources available.
i said it before and i'll say it again: 1) whether fans are satisfied with the changes made to the source material and 2) whether those changes make sense in the context of the show are two separate issues that apologists sometimes try to merge in other to muddle what the actual problem is. "oh you're just mad because it's not book canon" or "you're mad because your headcanons diverge" or "we had logistics limitations" are not pertinent responses to critiquing the integrity of the show's storyline!
so i hope the writers and executives see all these criticisms and choke because they did a piss-poor job of everything and turned S2 into a goddamn hack operation
#if you want to adapt your own FB fanfiction you better make damn sure you can fit in your scripts#and unfortunately for them show!alicent would need a whole damn novel dedicated solely to dissecting her psychology in order for her to mak#any sense or to resemble the behaviour of a human person#you don't have a wholeass novel at your disposal? you only have 8 to 10 episodes? then don't do it!#house of the dragon#hotd s2#hotd#grrm#hbo max

Do you have any good resources/references/advice for drawing (late republican) Roman clothing? I want to draw a couple of historical figures but thinking about drawing a toga makes me feel like 😖😖😖...
-Costumes of the Greeks and Romans, Thomas Hope
-Greek and Roman Fashions, Tom Tierney
-The World of Roman Costume, ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante.
-Decorative Symbols and motifs for Artists and Craftsmen/Decorative Patterns of the Ancient World, Dover Publications
-photos & videos from reenactors and reenactment events
-build a screenshot reference library from movies and shows that have costume designs you like, that kind of thing. grab a blanket and wrap yourself up in it toga style and take a photo if you need a specific angle. etc. museums usually have a lot of their galleries online, and places like the met often shoot statues from multiple sides.
#my screenshot reference library has a lot from gladiator/hbo rome/the cleopatra movie/various JC film adaptions#sometimes toy stores and craft supply places have those tiny figures and every now and then they got little romans#highly recommend that too#ask tag#ngl if you can grab the discovery tour edition of assassins creed origins. like. go to one of the greek/roman cities and use#photo mode on various npcs#art advice tag

if they adapt Robert's Rebellion
I don't want to give anyone ideas but if they ever make Robert Rebellion's tv or movie version then Robert Baratheon is going to be portrayed as the worst man ever who raped woman here and there and probably assaulted Lyanna.
And that's why she ran away with the tragic melancholic godly prince who was so noble and good but trapped in a marriage with either an unstable chronically ill brown woman or a scheming ambitious brown woman who doesn't love him at all and maybe cheats on him.
Tragic King Aerys who loves his family and wants to burn the whole city because he has a good cause!! Sacrifices will wake dragons! Dragons eggs could have hatched before Dany! Aerys' was a genius. And yes Rhaella supported him and Rhaegar with everything.
It was House Targaryen against the world.
Also, Tywin Lannister was best buddy of Aerys. He sent the Mountain and Amory Lorch to protect the royal family! Those noble knights who accidentally killed the little girl maybe because he couldn't identify whether the Princess was Targaryen or not? Maybe she wasn't.
The Mountain too had similar accidents because Aegon isn't the ptwp or he doesn't exist at all. Problem solved! Rhaegar had no son! This is true! Jon is his only son!!
And let's not forget how hard it was for the Mountain and other guy to climb the building, their struggle to get in Maegor's Holdfast!! They will show us that, than the Princess who is trapped helplessly in a tower with a drawbridge, drawn up and no way to escape with her children.
But no problem that those children died, they were nothing special no one mourns them or their mother. They deserved to be killed and forgotten. House Martell supports Targaryens! They will rise for Jon if they knew! True love of the prince Rhaegar already gave him the only son. Aegon 6th!!
And see a noble honourable Stark lord will raise because 'song ice and fire!' 'prophecy baby' and not because he is the last piece of his sister and that's what any uncle will do.
And… Jon Arryn? Who is Jon Arryn? Why does he want to rebel? He has no reason! (His heir was also murdered idk why people forget that!)
And yes the war was started by Littlefinger if you didn't know before he hyped up Brandon to march to KL. 😄
#anti targaryen#asoiaf#robert's rebellion#this because what disaster they made of dance of the dragons#anti hotd#anti house targaryen#elia martell#anti rhaegar targaryen#anti rhaelya#robert baratheon#do hbo do this because of targ stans?#oh god I hope robert's rebellion is never adapted like this but I am not even sure now#got already showed us though the 'love story of rhaelya' and 'aegon vi = jon'#that is 😵

After The Last of Us, the Sonic movies, and the Mario movie, there really is no excuse for a bad video game-to-live action adaptation anymore.
The Last of Us showed that a game with a deep, complex story can be translated on screen.
The Sonic movies showed that games that are on the fantastical, whacky side can work on screen.
The Mario movie showed that game franchises that don’t really have a storyline can still work.
The days of video game franchises being an adaptation graveyard are pretty much over.

Redraw of one of my favourite moments in Succession because Roman's my favourite and I wanted to practise drawing him but then I got too involved and turned it into a whole comic and I don't even really like how it turned out but I spent too long on it to not post it 😭
I wish I could do something more creative than just redrawing scenes from the show but I find the characters so difficult to write 😭 like I'm genuinely jealous of people who can write good fanfiction of them
#NO SPOILERS i still haven't finished!!#succession#succession hbo#roman roy#gerri kellman#succession fanart#romangerri#i don't ship them but this scene is objectively a bit romangerri so i wanted to tag#comics#my art#considering i wanted to practise drawing Roman#this was actually a really annoying scene like his hair doesn't usually look like that#at least i can draw gerri now#i hope the composition/movement makes sense here i had to adapt the scene for comic form#like i put way too much thought into this#and it took me like 9 hours to nightshade#these two make me insane actually#love how he says “it's a lot to think about” at the end#like what is there to think about?? what has he even said??#i headcanon this was a real proposal#he just talked himself out of it once she didn't say yes
