Joan Pradells, showing the world what a real man looks like. Barely in his 20s this kid is roided up to the gills, and besides his baby face you’d think he was 40+. Nothing matters to him but becoming the archetype of alpha masculinity. In his corner helping him mutate into the ultimate specimen of manhood are giants like Paco Bautista and Pablo Llopis, ensuring that their wunderkind will outgrow them both in no time.
So my pharmacy keeps losing my steriod prescription and today when I picked it up I was so relieved they actually just gave me the bag no issues that I didn't double check but I opened it up at home and IT'S AMPHETAMINES
You’re looking at this god and wondering, “How is it possible that a 21 year old is this jacked and roided?” I can tell you why- because he’s a juiced up genetic freak who lives in the gym and only cares about growing his massive unnatural muscle. His testosterone levels are so high that the beard you see on his face- that magnificent thick bush of black alpha male fur- is actually just one day’s worth of stubble. Every pore of this god stinks of male pheremones. The few women that dare go to his gym, a bare concrete cube full of weights and muscled alphas, are constantly wet from the stink of his testosterone cloud.
I personally don’t mind the reveal that Aegon the Conqueror was motivated by dragon dreams about tptwp/war for the dawn; I actually like it quite a lot. Mostly because I like how Aegon’s legacy basically becomes: the unification of the realm and its peoples (a wholly positive thing) AND the iron throne (which has become a symbol of war and destruction). Aegon brought the realm together, but he also created that stupid pointy chair. The irony is that this chair, made of swords from all over the realm thus being a representation of all the different peoples in Aegon’s new kingdom, is meant to be the symbol of peace and unity. But in the current story, it’s become the driving force of disunity. And now hundreds of years later, now that the real threat that Aegon dreamed of has actually arrived, the realm is much too focused on who gets to sit on the silly chair more than anything else. Which imo would fall in quite nicely with GRRM’s deconstruction of prophecy, how people interpret it, and the ripple effects from those actions.
