(OP note: I’m curious to see how people will vote on this lol)

Ways to approach the poll if the character isn’t a royal:

If you think they’d be from a smaller house, go with the Great House that that smaller house is sworn to (ex: House Manderly —> vote Stark)

They don’t have to be a nobleperson, they can be someone working for the house or being ruled by them. Roles could be a sworn-sword, a septa, a butcher, a blacksmith, or even a lowly peasant.

You can consider the region itself. For example, if you feel the character would be from Dorne, pick House Martell.

You can consider the personality of the character. For example, if your character is all about honor, then consider either House Arryn or House Stark.

Last, but not least, be creative with it! For example, there was a comment I read that the character who was the subject of the poll would be pulling a Littlefinger, so they went with either Lannister or Tyrell as that would be that character’s target houses.

At last someone with good authority says there is no heir to Kubrick (which is of course true for any serious artist). Kubrick is everywhere, says the videoessay, yet – I’d add – at the same time Kubrick is nowhere.

Bonus poll: Since HAL 9000 was determined to be a member of House Targaryen (or at least, that’s the Great House it’d be most affiliated with), if it was around during the Dance of the Dragons, which side would it support?

Supports Rhaenyra and Team Black

Supports Aegon II and Team Green

(OP note: Since HAL is an AI, maybe consider which claimant would HAL consider to be the most “logical” option. Take out all emotion, just the bare facts)
