From Facebook:

So, I'm just chillin' in the dragon pit, mindin' my own biz, when I hear those Targaryen freaks singin' in High Valyrian. I'm thinkin', 'What's all the hubbub, bub?' So, I roll up to the scene and see this white dude, lookin' like a reject from a Renaissance faire, tellin' me to serve him? Get the fuck outta here!

"I'm an African American dragon, for cryin' out loud! I'm offended, I'm outraged, I'm... well, I'm a dragon, so I'm already fiery, but you get the point. This guy's got the nerve to stand in front of me, proud as a peacock, and tell me to bend the knee? Please.

"And Rhaenyra, my queen, she's just standin' there, lookin' all regal and whatnot. I'm thinkin', 'Girl, what's the deal? You know I got your back, but this dude?' I mean, we're in the middle of a war, Vhagar's out here snackin' on dragons like they're potato chips... and this guy's got the balls to tell me to serve him?

"So, I'm thinkin', 'Fine, I'll play along.' I lean over, and this motherfucker's got the nerve to say some racist shit? Oh, hell no! I showed him who's boss. I torched him like a marshmallow at a campfire. Felt bad about doin' it in front of the queen, but that dude had it comin'!

So, later on that day, I'm feelin' a little guilty, right? Queen Rhaenyra's at war, and I'm just chillin' like a villain. But let me tell you, as a black dragon, I'm not tryin' to be no hero. I'm tryin' to stay alive, keep my scales shiny, and my wings flappin'... and I'm thinkin', 'Damn, I just burned some white dude to a crisp, that's gonna leave a mark.'

"But I'm feelin' bad, because I know Rhaenyra needs my help, and I'm not scared of war, but I'm cautious, you know what I mean? I'm a black dragon, and this is a dragon war, so I can't just sit this one out. If I don't choose a side, the other dragons are gonna be like, 'What's wrong, dragon? You scared?' or 'You a coward or somethin'?' No, I need to choose a side, and I need a rider who's got some sense.

"So, I'm flyin' around, lookin' for my perfect match, and I see this black dude with dreadlocks, and I'm like, 'Oh yeah, I can smell the Valyrian and Targaryen blood in him!' So I fly down, and this guy's runnin' faster than a dude who owes child support! I'm like, 'Yeah, you're fast, you don't wanna die, that's good enough for me! You're hired, pal!'

"I pin him up against the wall and say, 'Hey, pal, you're either gonna die right here or be my dragon rider!' And let me tell you, he was terrified. I could smell the shit in his pants! But that's why I chose him, because he knows when to get the hell outta there! I don't want no hero, I want someone who's gonna be like me, a little scared, a little smart, and a little resourceful.

Seasmoke is so mean! Why would he wait for the Gold Cloak to get that close and then burn him!

I have an idea of who Seasmoke’s rider will be, but his bloodline confuses me at the moment.

With that comment aside, could it mean that Laenor is still alive? I love the way the dragon keepers sang to Seasmoke though. It’s such a cool way to say “Hey, can you come here please”. I often think about how the dragons get along when they’re all tucked away and how each one knows its rider is ready to go out.

This makes Rhaenys so much more badass to me. I don’t know the lore entirely but I know that she went into the cave looking for Meleys.

House of the Dragon Season 2 - "The Red Sowing" Review *SPOILERS* This episode shows that there is nothing that will deter Queen Rhaenyra or her consort from strengthening their army. Morals be damned.

I am still reeling from the end, but I loved seeing a relationship like Laena and Daemon's where two people could be very much in love while disagreeing with each other. I felt like he treasured her and she understood him, and that's really something to get across in the 10 minutes they got.

I would kill for a Laena bonus episode. Show me her getting the biggest baddest dragon in the land. Show me her being adored by her family. Show me how she raised those little girls. Show me how she made a marriage with Daemon (who I love watching but he's a mess lbr) into this grown-up, functional thing while they were Bonnie and Clydeing around the seven kingdoms.

I'm hoping to participate in Art Fight more this year than last year allowed me, and I added Allessandro over there...only to realize I didn't have a colored ref for him! It's been a year since I last drew him so I figured: no better time than now to give him a new fullbody pic!

Fun update: after a month spent searching for his mentor and ending up in Barovia because of it, Saverio finally 'heard' from him a couple sessions ago...only for the message to be vague, short and offer no real answers. Needless to say: Allessandro is still full of mysteries and Saverio is pretty irked at essentially being ghosted by his not-father figure.

(You can find me on AF here!)
