Tantrum Hole

Liz Toohey-Wiese, 2024.

"A sign installed in the largest wildfire burn I’ve ever seen, along the BC/YK border. Borrowing the aesthetics of BC Recreation Site signs, once again pointing to the overlaps of outdoor recreation, resource extraction, and the consequences of the climate crisis. Most recreation sites in BC exist along previously built logging and mining roads.

“Forced into a great and difficult transformation” was a line I heard in a lecture on Buddhist philosophy I was listening to on my drive up north. But it became another mantra I thought about while living in a place that’s been utterly transformed by resource extraction over the past century, and as I thought about the burnt landscapes I drove through."

@acakewalkofcrocodiles Actually we can keep this quite short-ish, thing is I'd have to rewatch season 2 to see if Tyland Lannister mentions this at all? Because Rhaenyra seems to think that the missing gold dragons went to Casterly Rock, but in the books Tyland takes it to the Iron Bank. And I think in the show a good portion of the treasury went into the pockets of Sharako Lohar and her pirate fleet. Which has worked out great for everybody!

An interesting thing to consider is what would the pirates have done if they captured Larys and Aegon, as the Blacks have no money, but I think anyone who knows about the location of the treasury on the green side is either dead or missing in action (Holding out hope for you Tyland!).
