since you said you like The Odyssey, are you familiar with Epic The Musical? that's personally my favorite version of the story that I've ever seen
also, as a more fic relevant question, the other day I was thinking of this and I wanted to ask - how so you think will the girls react if their respective partner began growing facial hair? would any of them be into it? (obv that's not something that will ever happen in the show because not one of them having that light of hair, but I have some distinct memory of Aegon being supposed to grow a mustache or smth in the books?) In my head I can just see Joff forcibly sitting Daeron down and giving him the tightest shave anyone has ever seen-
Everyone keeps telling me to watch/listen to Epic because they think I'll like it. I think I would like it. But it's one of those things that I just never get around to. 😅
For the record, I was a Classical Studies major in school (which I've mentioned a few times here and there). Got my start with that D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths when I was really little, and then I was won over by those nutty Romans during undergrad.
My favorite movie/show depicting Greco-Roman history and/or myth is a tie between HBO's Rome and Disney's Hercules. IDK what that says about my taste in popular media and adaptational accuracy. 😂
I might have to move Epic up in my To-Be-Watch queue. But I'm currently working on some Kdramas while I frantically try to crochet something for Christmas. (I know it's not going to get done in time, but it's not Christmas if I don't get some panic-crafting in.)
As for Targbro facial hair…fun question! I love these questions!
I don't think F&B explicitly says anything about Aegon having facial hair, but GRRM apparently told one of the official ASOIAF artists that Aegon has a wispy little mustache.
TGC looks reallyyyyyy good with facial hair. So Jace wouldn't be mad about it. She'd probably be into it.
As for Aemond…hm. I just googled "Ewan Mitchell facial hair," and this is the closest thing to facial hair that popped up.
IDK how the stubble would work with his Aemond-look. But Luce might be into a more rugged piratey Aemond? 🧐
Daeron: do we even know for sure who's playing him? Didn't the first rumored actor turn out to be a decoy/fake-out?
Until we get 100% confirmation, I'll just use as a reference this actor, Jack Cunningham-Nuttall, who was one of the popular speculations for a potential Daeron Actor before S2 came out.
I think the actor has aged quite a bit since this photo was taken, but Daeron is fictional and remains whatever age I need him to be. So!
I…cannot see Daeron growing facial hair successfully. 😭 Whenever I try, I end up imagining him with that silly, very fake mustache that Jacques Ze Whipper draws onto his face for performances.
So yeah, Joff would definitely be coming near him with a very sharp razor blade. 🫠
