the sun’s about to rise, i need to go

one of the reasons I think tv has become a more inferior storytelling medium in the streaming/binge model era is so many of these shows barely strive for our attention anymore, comfortable to meander for several hours without any real plot development until it's time for the finale, "second screen dialogue", some truly inefficient storytelling technique that would've been critically slammed a decade ago as unskilled writing and general wankery, instead of fighting to keep us engaged enough to stick around after the next ad break, let alone the next week. there's no desperation, no respect for our time and dedication anymore, and it offends me

if alicent and rhaenyra were men this website would literally be overrun and everybody would be either obsessed or calling it the “gay dragon show” and complaining about how inescapable it is and there would be 1 william fics on ao3 and a comprehensive d’cooke rpf timeline doc but instead we live in STUPID MISOGYNY WORLD

july is like a second go at new years. u have to treat it as such so u dont spin out

i’m not built for bingeing tv or final seasons, all i watched so far are episodes 1&2 and then rewatched them both.

2 episodes left. which if you really think about it is 4 episodes because everything else was 30 minutes and these are an hour long #delayingtheinevitable
