"The Dryad and the Lumberjack"

This is one of the artworks I drew for the amazing @frobinzine !!! I'm so happy I can finally share it! x333 Had so much fun drawing all the details!

Alicent, on her part, spends the entire episode issuing commands under borrowed authority: Helaena's, and whatever influence she can still claim as Dowager Queen. In doing so, she is forced to confront the fragility of power when it's not truly your own. I would argue that it's here when she comes closest to understanding Rhaenyra and the impossible burden of legitimizing her rule as a woman, and the necessity of gathering every ally, every ounce of support, simply to remain standing.

After leaving home for the first time to compete in a cooking show, Charlotte Pudding is determined to make her mark. More than that, she’s resolved to sweep the competition to win the grand-prize of her own restaurant, with her own menu, to build wherever she wishes. Hailing from a large family of esteemed chefs and pâtissiers, she’s confident her skills will blow the judges away, breezing all the way to victory.

That is until she meets a certain blonde-haired, curly-browed, overly-flirtatious chef with a penchant for cigarettes and wicked smile. Sanji doesn’t have a respectable pedigree like herself, and his main source of culinary experience was on a rickety ocean-going restaurant under the tutelage of an infamous (gasp) pirate! Defeating him should be a piece of cake, she thinks, until she witnesses him in the kitchen.

Talent is not always something that can be taught, Pudding begins to learn. With the two advancing through each stage, they realize there is more than meets the eye when it comes to each other. And as they grow and discover what kind of chefs (and people) they want to be, they uncover an undeniable truth:

That love is always the secret ingredient.
