If you can't call you players out for toxic behavior don't run a game. Confrontation sucks but it's part of the job sometimes.

Terezi should be licking her computer screen.

So I noticed something again, this time instead of focusing on the center line, I focused on framing. I read some people on here a long while ago talking about how it was a mistake to have Jon and Jorah (Eastwatch episode) in the same scene with Dany because the on-screen chemistry between her and Iain glaringly reveals the lack of it between her and Kit. I was wondering, if I rewatched the scene eyeing the framing, if I’d notice anything different between the two. And I did.

Love is in the eyes, yes? So is emotions. Notice how the eyes line up between Dany and Jorah?

And notice how they don’t with Jon?

There is distance between them, and this choice in editing is subconsciously sensed by the viewer (you have to work harder to look between Jon’s eyes and hers, while there is no effort between her and Jorah). I think it’s clear here Dany has feelings for Jon, but he does not have them for her. This is amplified as they’re leaving, as Jorah looks back at her, but Jon does not.

I thought it was an interesting way to edit the scene. I also think it’s interesting if Dany gets to experience the same unrequited love that Jorah went through with her. This will make what happens in season 8 interesting, and I’m definitely expecting quite a few broken hearts... **weeps internally**

And this is just a personal opinion, but I also don’t think Dany knows what love is. After time, she loved Khal Drogo, but that relationship began with trauma (arranged marriage, rape) and she later learned how to survive it by using her body to her advantage. She thought it was love (her first relationship) but in season 7, she finally admits it was rape. Daario was a fling, and she talked to Tyrion how she thought she might cry saying goodbye to a man she loved, but she didn’t (so she didn’t love Daario). She did cry, however, when Jorah with greyscale was saying goodbye to her.

Anyway (end tangent, coming back to my point), the filming of this scene would be considered a mistake if Dany is meant to end up with Jon. But if Jon and Dany aren’t endgame (I personally don’t think they are), than this implies something else entirely.

Oh, season 8, you are going to torture me, aren’t you?
