random asoiaf social media headcanons:

dany would make those left wing politics/pet grooming videos on tiktok. think like "come trim my bearded dragons nails while we talk about what's happenning in meeren right now" she actulaly studies international politics and has experience with activism so the videos are genuinely informative but she still gets canceled multiple times for, amongst other things: coming from a rich family, abusing her exotic pets (she takes really good care of them) and having a weird boyfriend (more than once).

ramsay kinda blows up on tiktok for making weird and off-putting videos showing his torture basement and bone collection or some shit. everyone thinks it's an elaborate bit but then someone clocks one of his bones as an actual human tibia and people start investigating him on tiktok until the police gets involved. turns out he was an actual serial killer and straight up keeping a girl trapped in his basement. true crime girlies go absolutely nuts over his case and if you open tiktok right now you will see at least 5 different videos talking about it with that fuckass creepy music sound.

myranda royce makes those water mixing tiktoks (you know the ones people put a bunch of random syrups and like red bull in their water to make it "taste good" to the point it can barely be considered water anymore?) while talking about REAL LIFE GOSSIP without bothering to change any names. the only reason she hasn't gotten in trouble for that yet is because she is god's favourite.

jaime makes work out instagram reels on his local gym that are actually barely disguised thirst traps. brienne goes to the same gym as him and gets endlessly annoyed by his bullshit because all his "training advice" is fucking terrible and "uhm some people are ACTUALLY trying to work out here mr. prince charming so if you could PLEASE do this somewhere else I think we would ALL apreciate it" so he starts including her in his videos so she can give some actual work out tips while he just flexes his muscles and tries to look sexy in the background. 99% of his followers are gay men (but he starts getting some queer girls after brienne starts showing up).

I've already talked about cersei being a right-wing grifter/complete menace online but I think that would lead her to becoming this sort of problematic gay icon because she suffers from donald trump disease (simultaneously the worst and funniest person on planet earth). her insane remarks combined with astronomical levels of slay factor turn her into a stan twitter meme (think like a karla sofía gascón or trisha paytas hybrid monster) and she amassess a huge "ironic" following composed of people trying to goad her into (another) mental break down on instagram live and lesbians who are convinced they could fix her if she would just give them a chance (they could NOT). people make thinkpieces on twitter about how you shouldn't interect with her even as a joke because she's clearly a VERY mentally ill woman who thrives on attention but it's no use she's simply too slay to be ignored by the gays.

varys is just deuxmoi.

last night i dreamt i was gifted a burlap sack containing with all the varietys of sting rays in the world. for some reason i decided to enjoy these sting rays by taking each one of them out while lying in bed. i would hold each one up to my face to look into their eyes. when i held the final one its eyes opened and they were huge and catlike and it started biting my hand and then i realized i forgot to put the second to last one down and it started biting my other hand. finally i shook them off and ran to my computer to google "stingray bites poisonous" and the results were just the words "its fine" really big letters

everyone should try pacing around your home infodumping about something while pretending you're on a podcast or a stream and someone asked you a question about it it's really enriching and fulfilling

No sympathy for Chevy Chase, of course, but I'm always a bit nonplussed when the cast of Community list the fact he refused to work the same long hours on the show as they were working as a grievance against him. I mean, by their own accounts they were regularly working 14 or more hours a day, five days a week, for months, just to film one season. Nobody should be required to work that long!

And while Community might have been something of an outlier, this is something that seems to come up depressingly often whenever people who worked on older network shows. I saw a comment by James Marsters recently in which he praised SMG for working on Buffy for up to twenty hours a day, but ... while that's impressive, it also ... shouldn't have happened? Again, nobody should be required to work that long.

That's part of why I'm pretty skeptical about the current revisionism about how great pre-streaming network television was and how all shows should have a couple of dozen episodes per season. (The first three seasons of Community had around two dozen 22 minute episodes; Buffy had twenty-two 45 minute episodes in all but its first season). The prevailing idea that this was done purely for artistic reasons and that there were absolutely never any filler episodes and everybody loved doing it just doesn't agree with reality at all. I mean, yeah, of course I love Buffy but nobody should've worked a hundred hour week to make Teacher's Pet or Go Fish. We're talking about not just the cast, but the writers and all the other crew, giving up huge chunks of their lives just to make something that is not very good.

Obviously the move to shorter seasons isn't driven by concerns about artistic quality or as a concession towards labor rights. It's a phenomenon purely driven by the insatiable desire of the handful of individuals who control the corporations who own the television and streaming industry to maximize short-term profits above all else. But, in news that might shock some of you, the 1990s were not, in fact, a pre-capitalist utopia in which people had never even heard of the idea of a shareholder. This same ruthless search for additional profits at all cost is also why TV series filmed thirty years ago were made the way they were. The wider context may have changed, but nobody woke up in the 2000s and suddenly decided they were willing to sacrifice quality and screw over actors and prematurely cancel underperforming shows without warning. These are all things that television executives have been happy to do for decades. (Buffy itself exists because the WB network used it to replace a show that had been abruptly cancelled after just two seasons.) It's been that way since television as an industry existed.

I mean, do you think The Next Generation featured a clip show in its second season because they thought it would tell us something interesting about the characters on the Enterprise? No: they made it because the network insisted they air twenty two episodes that season despite the 1988 writer's strike, and this was the only thing they could afford to make.
