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.

If Prince Hamlet from “The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” was the one assigned to escort Ellie Williams to the Fireflies, how would they fare compared to Joel?

Gets emotionally attached / successfully escorts Ellie to the hospital

Gets emotionally attached / dies on the way to the hospital

Doesn’t get emotionally attached / successfully escorts Ellie to the hospital

Doesn’t get emotionally attached / dies on the way to the hospital

Regardless of attachment, they survive the trip but Ellie dies under their care

October 2024: It's That Time Of Year

We got our Harris Walz sign over the weekend:

Then October the First happened:

Our volunteer pumpkins. They turned out to be mini-pumpkins & the one on the right should have been picked sooner (It is a bit mushy) but still cool:

The fungal infection that damaged our front lawn created this happy accident. For the first time ever, this skeleton has a hairy chest, happy trail & lush pubes:

Just three girls looking for a little trouble... possibly toiling:

I love running into random Shakespeare references in the wild.

The Beans have just met their Uncle the Imp, with quite different reactions. Adzuki went from being a Feerce and Stealthy Assassin to a raging Flirt, while Mung resorted to pretending not to care whilst showing off.

Mr Mung ended up losing his toy over the side, and Zuki ended up losing the Imp's attention and wandered off in a sulk. The Imp finally got the nap he was wanting having expended all his energies racing his sisters earlier.

Mung redeemed himself by running interference and keeping Zuki at bay while the Imp snoozed in the sun. All's Well That Ends Well.
