From Person to Publicist: The Evolution of Celebrity and Image

The layperson’s first brush with everyday perfection came in the ’90s when the daughters of New York City’s richest power players decided to make their life consumable to the average person. Rather than hiding inside of mansions like the millionaires of yore, these women—such as Paris Hilton, Casey Johnson, and Olivia Palermo—were seen both at red carpet events and blackout drunk at nightclubs.…

TOM GLYNN-CARNEY TALKING ABOUT EPISODE 1 & 2 OF 'HOUSE OF THE DRAGON' S2 FOR DECIDER MAGAZINE.

DID TOM GLYNN-CARNEY INTEND TO MAKE AEGON SO HILARIOUS?

“Well, look, I find him quite manic.”

“And I think, rather than playing humor — which is always a terrible idea because it always ends up not being funny when you play humor — I want to sort of bring this sort of frantic energy of him and kind of the nonchalance of his approach to being king these days.”

“I think it’s important to find levity at the beginning of something. You know, we’ve got to give him somewhere to go. And I genuinely think he is quite funny.”

TALKING ABOUT THE DEATH OF JAEHAERYS AND HIS CHARACTER IN THE NEXT EPISODES.

“The loss of Jaehaerys is huge. It’s momentous and it’s one of those things that just stains. It affects you on an atomic level now. It’s something you don’t ever fully digest and make sense of and kind of shake off.”

“So, yeah, it informs a lot of his decisions going forward.”

“I always had it in my head that he was kind of rebuilding the person he would have wanted to be through him.”

“I think he saw in Jaehaerys a part of himself.”

The actor explained that Aegon wanted to give Jaehaerys the “love and attention” that perhaps his parents didn’t.

“He saw elements of himself in [Jaehaerys] and it was a kind of a new start for him in a way. And now it’s been snatched from him.”

Without Jaehaerys, Aegon leans into his worst impulses. Aegon accelerates war plans, hanging every ratcatcher in the Red Keep in the hopes of nailing the one who abetted Jaehaerys’s death and firing his cautious grandfather Ser Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) as Hand. Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) will now be Hand, ensuring more blood will be spilled.

Nevertheless, Tom Glynn-Carney’s descent into Aegon’s dark state of mind is never without a hint of humanity.

You understand that it’s grief propelling these choices. Grief for Jaehaerys, Aegon’s son and heir, grief for the “good” king Aegon could have been, and grief for the way his family has failed him.

TALKING ABOUT THE SCENE OF ALICENT FINDS AEGON CRYING BY THE FIRE. AND INSTEAD OF COMFORTING HER SON, ALICENT WORDLESSLY LEAVES HIM.

“There’s a great poem: ‘They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.’ It goes on with it. But, yeah, it reminds me of that,” Glynn-Carney said, quoting Philip Larkin’s “This Be the Verse.”

It’s a poem that, like George R.R. Martin’s books, bemoans how, “Man hands on misery to man.”

Trauma begets more trauma, a theme House of the Dragon‘s interpersonal drama is excavating this season.

thoughts and opinions on bree's birthday gifts!!!!

[spoilers for legendborn and bloodmarked, read at your own caution ;)] it's been long since i got to do long ass posts hehe i'm back in the game yall

first of all, happy birthday bree!!!! (real footage of me making cakes)

starting off strong with alice chen;

that's so cute?? and two gifts!! bree gonna keep that gift card close to her heart!! like common we all know they are book besties like awwieee so cuteee!! and tickets to eras tour?? keep up with the spoiling your bestie i love you alice!!

then we have edwin matthews;

this is so him tho, ofc he's gonna take care of his lil girl for the winters. that winter coat is gonna be very handy on the run. and bless his soul i hope he doesn't have to find out what the battle is-

our golden boy, nicholas martin davis;

that is so thoughtful tho?? and it's so cute he had it handmade like damn dude, and with her initials too. and what did you say about late-night sword training sessions you mean they trained whennnnnn we have been robbed????

our favorite sorcerer, selwyn emyrs kane;

the coupon?? that is so fucking hilarious, imagine selwyn drawing that coupon and smiling to himself like "ahh the perfect joke" comon this is so cute and i bet bree loved it. and the rose?? got me giggling and shit like dude i had headcanoned something like this as like a ring during bree's college trips but comon a rose is so much better?? ahhhhhhhh I'm in looooooveee say what you want this is so cute mann (and the rose kinda reminded me of the rose in tracy's insta story?? is this something or am i too obsessed??)

our rootcrafting companion, mariah;

lmaoo she is not wrong about the reasons tho. bree definitely needs that spa day. maybe add in a braiding session too. she needs those curls fresh and on for the newest adventure.

the cutest legendborn!! greer taylor;

oh my gosh that is so cool bree in training gear yalls I'm so pumped for bree's 1v1 fights with anyone honestly like my oh my!! good job greer!!

our deadliest softboy, william sitterson;

william is a tea guy for sure, ofc his birthday treat is at a teahouse!! spending the day enjoying william's favorite tea and maybe a lil bit of teasing on both sides?? what will be the treats tho him baking his favorite biscuits or a luncheon with his king, i say bothhh

now there are a two people that i really wanted to see;

larkin douglas; yes he hasn't been around in bloodmarked too but comon even he would know sometime from William hehe about bree's birthday what would he gift her?? he did gift her those leather gauntlets, an updraged version of them?? metal gauntlets?? now if bree has her powers in control ofc she doesn't need the gauntlets but it could be a gesture of trust, for the old days sake

valec; like comon i do think he'd just give her a chocolate or a life advice and move on, but given that he has taken a liking to her and has become very protective (as his baby sister okay guys he's not in love) he might offer something else. his knowledge maybe, he has been around for 200 years you bet he has a lot to tell. or like he could answer three questions she wants the answers to, we all know our bree is best at questioning everything.

my thoughts??

can the order of how the people are placed have any correspondence to how events have passed or any foreshadowing to what could happen?? because i am the type of person who likes to order things like that; so if this is foreshadowing, because for the past events we need to put sel after alice and all that yk, does this mean we are going to start oathbound with a different pov?? because alice and edwin are shown first so it is possible oathbound can start from the new pov (either nick or selwyn)

nick giving bree a scabbard, foreshadowing?? i still have to read on arthuriana more, so i can't say for sure but please enlighten me is this related to the legend. all i know is that excalibur's scabbard was gone which is why arthur fell in camlamn. so that means nick giving bree could potentially symbolize him protecting her?? but from what?? selwyn?? shadow king?? who??

also, from the whole order apart from the found family, only greer is mentioned. now i was assuming that sarah will be in charge now after tor has been "betrayed" aka kicked out of gc. so if greer is mentioned does this mean greer will be in charge?? but aren't they kinda young in the whole order, like young as in new?? and if they are in charge, then what will sarah do because by the order of lines sarah should be after tor, right??

and if this order of names thing is correct, we will be seeing mariah yayy but William is last, so is this for the whole book or like the first half?? because there's no valec no lark (my babies i wanted to see themmm??)

or maybe im just reading too much into this

[g-xix]

Something's in the air: marriage season is Summer 2024

I shit u not - SO MUCH ENGAGEMENT IS HAPPENING ATM IT'S CRAZY.

FIRSTLY, we had Liu Yuchen that litr was SO CUTE AND SHOCKING AND MENTAL AFTER WINNING A WHOLE AHH GOLD MEDAL!!!

Then Alice Finot proposing to her boyfriend in the crowd AHHHHH

Not to also mention Yinrun Huang whose TikTok also litr had me CRYING with the way she said: "What are you doing 😮🙊" HEEHEEHEE

And I think it's escaped the olympic village asw bc HELLO?!?!?!? CHIP AND SABINA NOW?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!? MAD CUTE 😭💗💗💗

I rmbr last year saying that it was break-up year, bc sm (in the YouTube scene) couples broke up/divorced...... Chris n Shannon, Will n Mia, Randy n Laura...

BUT WE ARE SO BACK BABY

WHO'S NEXT???????🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[liggy-not-potter]

picrews i made of some of the legendborn chaos causers

ok first we got bree :3

i actually love how this one turned out

and then alice

you cannot convince me she doesn’t own that bucket hat. never in a million years will you convince me alice chen doesn’t own a frog bucket hat.

and then the emo boi himself

( how it works is if i know they’re queer they get a flag, if they’re not/idk that they’re queer, they get a solid color background ) this one isn’t perfectly how i pictured him, but it’s pretty close

and now we’ve got the basic white boy himself (it’s a joke w my friends, i mean no hate on nick)

this is probably the most accurate one imo

and now will

will has freckles and i will take no criticism. also will x lark will never not be my favorite thing btw

speaking of lark

the scottish boi himself

then we got greer bc they’re so fucking underrated

literally my favorite person in existence. i love them so much. they deserve everything good the world has to offer.

should i make more??? if so which characters?

[incorrect-legendborn-quotes]

Lark: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of all the items you have lost throughout your life Nick: Self-esteem, haven't seen you in years! Bree: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this! Valec: I knew I lost that potential somewhere! William: I’ve been looking for my sense of purpose! Sel: My moral code, is that you? Lark: Lark: I was just gonna show you this cool truck my mother gave me but do you guys need a hug?

[ackerbabezzz]

Lark being a selbree shipper he’s so real

[enjoyerofstories]

What I hope we get from book 3 of Legendborn:

More Nick and Breenick content: From the main cast of characters Nick is the one we know the least about so I really hope that there is going to be some insight into his character. Also, Bree and Nick had so little scenes in Bloodmarked😭

I really liked the balcony chapter when Sel and Nick talked in Welsh to each other, so I hope we get more scenes with them talking in Welsh. Tbh I just want more moments in which two or more characters hold conversations in Welsh. (I'm a language freak and currently obssesed with Welsh, so yeah)

More Lark and him and William becoming boyfriends: Lark is an absolute sweetheart and he seems to be quite underappreciated by the fandom.

Nick and Alice friendship: I think they would get along really well. If there are actually going to be Nick pov chapters, I hope him, Alice, Lark and Will become a friend group (similar to what we got in Bloodmaked with Bree, Alice, Will and Sel).

I hope we (and also Bree) actually get to know the other scions and that Bree reunites the Round Table. Also, I want to know what the scion of Kay's abilities are.

What actually happened in Arthur's and the knights' time.

More information about Rootcraft.

And, of course, more information about the Morgaines. Also, I remember I've seen an interesting theory about Nick and the Morgaines and if it turns out to be true... well that would be really cool.

Beef

Season 1, “The Rapture of Being Alive”

Director: Jake Schreier

DoP: Larkin Seiple

[the-paper-furler]

I did fanart of these three, because I've never seen Lark or Mariah fanart, and Alice is just a fun character.

[justbrainrot]

More bloodmarked spoilers

Okay Alice Chen though! As a short girl I always love short characters by default but Alice effing rules & I love how after five minutes of being in her presence everyone she meets loves, respects, &/or fears her, despite her being the only major character with no powers. Liiiiike. *long stare*

And sweet William, I hope you & Larkin are v v happy together someday because you deserve the world since you give more broadly & deeply than… well anyone except for Bree, frankly. Seeing him step up & fight against his instincts for the entire hour Gawain’s strength was in him while he tortured Kizia & then almost directly afterwards nearly call aether on those rednecks in the gas station. My god.

[worth-this-and-more]

What are you most looking forward to in Oathbound?

You seem to be asking everyone so wanted your opinion lmao

-@BrianaKane 💕

[spoilers for legendborn and bloodmarked, read at your own caution ;)]

haha i've got so much i wanna see in oathbound so this probably will be long af

-bree finally manifesting her best version. like ik our king was running here and there for her life but finally she's gonna have some time to train herself and finally control her powers without arthur dicking in or her ancestors warning her at every waking and sleeping moments. and also, the dragonnnn do I need to say anything more??

-ruthless nick. i neeeed to see that side of him, because a reason I did not like him very much in legendborn as a whole was because he was actively suppressing his emotions trynna be the calm kid but he really really needs to rage now. we saw sel's soft side now I wanna see nick's ruthless side.

-we might not get much sel content but please for the love of everything that is holy I need need neeeeed natasia in oathbound or I'm gonna die seriously I need to know her I need her to adopt me and bree and sel and alice and william and everyone because she's totally mommy vibes I mean she's our only hope in this adult world

-alice as the fierce regent or maybe the unofficial regent or unofficial william's squire both work perfectly and will be so cool, and also teamed up with William with her terrific ideas and willpower, she's gonna go crazyyyyy and also I think she and sar might have something start in oathbound?? like idk I just have this feeling but yeah

-did i mention i wanna see the dragon again?? because I wanna see the dragon again and oooh maybe the dragonn is gonna kill the shadow king but let's see haha that might be in the fourth book

-and yeah i need sarah griffiths to takeover the southern chapter demolishing victoria because as William is probably not gonna be here I feel like she's gonna be in charge because obviously everyone kicked out tor. sar and the morgaines would make a terrific group and I'm living for it.

-i wanna see zoelle and eljiah slowly but surely siding with bree because they just seem power hungry demons and bree could give them so much more, like what if they meet valec and then find out that oh you could get these things and deals with humans all at the same place how cool is that?? and if they are shadow king's kids, which doesn't seem much unlikely this old man has a lot of kids scattered around, this forced family of valec, sel, zoelle, eljiah and maybe some more would finally throw up their parental trauma on the shadow king and maybe, just maybe break his ego or bruise his anger whichever works.

-a small part of me believes that a bree vs shadow king battle is probably in the fourth book butttttt a nick vs shadow king, or sel vs shadow king is possible depending on who reaches there first. i do feel like nick would somehow find out that erebus is not erebus by maybe his newly found abilities and knowledge, so maybe nick vs shadow king is inevitable.

-and ohhhh alice vs tor where tor dies please please please please I wanna see that I wanna see alice absolutely destroy that piece of shit yk just pure fury unleashed upon tor. it's gonna be so epic and if it happens in the ogof-y-drraig oooooh even better because that's where tor defied our king officially and that's where she should crumble to dust

-willark content please i need those two idiots falling in love I feel like it's gonna be "he fell first, he fell harder" and lark has already fallen so I want to see William falling in love all over again because pleaseeee I need it tracyyy

-regent cestra either having a redemption arc, there is a slight possibility of that like a cobwed's strand amount of chances but it's there for me personally, or else she should die. bree vs cestra would obviously be amazing but it could also be by the hands of one of the shadowborn or maybe shadow king would kill her too either for the drama or because she figures out that he has bree or something

-dragonnn dragonnn dragonnn dragonnn

now imma just stfu okay bbyeeee (edit: i added the willark point because how on earth did I ever forget it????)

[you-are-my-king-now-cariad]

So I got a little (lot) distracted in class a few days ago and made a prompt list for Legendborn. Went very vague, but still. Feel free to use this for anything or nothing, just wanted to share.

If anyone wants them-I tried to be incredibly vague & leave room for a lot of interpretations so we’d all have different ‘final products.’ But I might have, uh, gone a little too vague for some of them.
