The daycare kids have taught Sun about a certain Tumblr holiday and the attendant has made a plan to celebrate.

Bonus Doodles:

Process below cut (also check the image description for a transcript of the sticky notes and blueprint)

A photo of the actual blueprint and sticky notes made for this drawing, the concept for the cardboard dagger and the paper I used to brainstorm Sun and Moon's written conversation.

Random process tidbits:

The blueprint was drawn on actual construction paper leftover from when I was a little kid.

The dagger is based on the coins Brutus had minted to commemorate the event.

I made 5 oopsie sticky notes when writing out the back and forth notes between the duo, such as the very first one where I accidentally used blue to write out all of Sun's message.

Sun writes in cursive as a nod to the animatronic's theater days. I imagine this dramatic bot was either programmed with or developed fancy handwriting for signing autographs.

I originally wanted to draw parts of the digital drawing in different styles to make this even more collage-like.

Mel is very solidly in the 'literally always busy' zone right now but that doesn't mean she won't make time, depending on what it's for

Girls, do you know how tempted I am to buy this dress? To be clear, I don't usually voluntarily like wearing dresses (as you can tell from the butch loverboy vibes I got going) but something in me is urging me to do it and I'm so tempted.. someone tell me not to 😍

Impulse-doodled my two main self-ship sonas in sketchbook before bed.

Hope to be more open with them next year!

Here’s also an old silly ‘n simple Quillsante I did a while back (Quill (Quinton) is He/They NB).

No but like. You have a point with the credits. It just comes off as lazy. My guy, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff had it's own opening and probably didn't have a crumb of budget compared to hotd

Oh my god that comparison is perfect to what my point was, you are a genius

The theme song to Angel is so good, it's not as much of a banger as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's, but it is great on it's own, and it has it's own unique identity that feels appropriate for the different vibe of the show. So, I really was expecting a different theme song for hotd.

I mean, think of Game of Thrones. The music for Dany's scenes all had a different sort of vibe to it, only twinged slightly depending on whatever city in Essos she was near that had a different culture to explore. And her music was already really good, and I liked that it was very different then say the Stark music or the Lannister music. It made it stand out when you hear it, giving the Targaryean character's music it's own audible Targaryean identity.

I was sort of expecting something along those lines, not just, the same one as the other show. I mean I get it, by using the same theme it connects the two shows together, but like you said, Angel had a different theme then Buffy and it was awesome and I never needed to hear the Buffy theme to remember that I wasn't watching Buffy. I knew it was set in the same universe without the same theme song, because the musical team on that show understood that I was not a one year old who still slaps my hand into my food instead of eating it.

I just really love analyzing the music for Game of Thrones, I think Ramin Djawadi put so much thought and passion into making the music so memorable and distinct. I mean when the Stark theme started to play at the season 2 opener of hotd, I immediately got hit with those feelings because the Starks music is so distinct and holds such an emotion value. So it worked in a very small dose like that to introduce us to the setting we found ourselves suddenly in, but it didn't overstay it's welcome where it got to be too key jangling. It knew there when to pull back, but still, that was the show using Game of Throne's music to it's advantage, it was nothing unique to hotd.

But I really struggle with the music for House of the Dragon. Not a lot of it feels distinct, and I know that most of the story takes place in the same locations with very similar people who do not need distinct music, but there feels like a lack of individuality here. It doesn't stand out, it's not memorable.

The music that plays in season 1 episode 2, when Jon is saying goodbye to Bran at his bedside in front of Catelyn, is actually one of my favourite scores of all time since the first time I ever heard it. It is beautiful and it reminds me of that scene and the Starks everytime I listen to it.

I just think the lack of a unique opening theme for House of the Dragon is indicitive of the show's lack of a musical identity, in comparison to Game of Thrones, which used it's musical scores in such a brilliant way that is rare for a television show.

Also, again to end on a petty note for bad comedy, I still watch seasons 1 through 5 of Game of Thrones and the theme song still makes me excited because the show attached is still up to that music's quality (season 5s quality is only held up by the Jon plot and the Cersei plot I will admit that though).

House of the Dragon is a chore for me to get through, but I'm trying to rewatch season one to be able to better have references directly for some of my future criticsms of the show, and hearing that theme song before these episodes is like, no.

Go get your own theme song, this one doesn't belong to you.
