laenor's ravens across the narrow sea

Laenor Velaryon's thoughts about "House of the Dragon" as he sees it in Essos

[gaybesthusband]

Characteristics of Laenor I observed in Season 1

Keen on battle. Proposes crazy ideas (like the one about how to beat the Crabfeeder S1.03)

Dragonrider of Seasmoke (will burn his enemies S1.03)

He took a lance to the shoulder once (S1.06)

Considers R's boys to be partly his (names Joffrey s1.06), but is more distant emotionally than their mother as is typical of many fathers in this era

Writes to Laena (S1.06)

Enjoys pageantry (Team V showing out at the wedding)

Alcohol use during emotion crisis (Laena's death)

Puts romantic relationships above familial ties (leaves)

Nevertheless loves his father, sister, mother and R.

filter is i don't care about dr strange, i do care about wanda

academically notice bc is doing a lot of work.

something about our own experience being a filter of reality

being in different state (high) can alter the way you see things

way you see things can be altered.

i'm forgetting something.

[gaybesthusband]

news isn't facts but it's meant to represent facts to those who haven't experienced a thing

changing the "news" changes perception of reality.

how do we present facts more factfully?

[gaybesthusband]

everything is a "story"

[gaybesthusband]

sometimes a trope can come to "feel real" to some people because they have only experienced it through stories.

[gaybesthusband]

lacking the perception of the thing in actuality leads to stereotypes

[gaybesthusband]

I am not sure time is real

[gaybesthusband]

i should go get popcorn.

[gaybesthusband]

just because i didn't see star wars as a kid didn't mean it wasn't changing things without me knowing it

[gaybesthusband]

did everyone else know that was there all along?

[gaybesthusband]

how can the most "real" things be "obvious" (easy to perceive)

[gaybesthusband]

star wars feels simple to new viewers because it is so foundational to the stories that came later

[gaybesthusband]

like how the giver seems quaint after hunger games

all things we've built upon
