Young Dyanna Dayne & Maekar Targaryen
It was at this moment that he realized that he was in love.

the 1980s nuclear family (based on firsthand accounts of people who lived through it):
If nobody ever explained this to you, if someone you see a lot does something you like and you never ever tell them that, they might think you don’t like them or don’t like the things they do for you.
If you like your sister’s cooking and have never ever told her that, she may very well think that you hate her cooking. If you like it when your friend drives you places and you never ever thank them, they might think you’re not grateful even if you are. If you like it when your partner does this or that thing for you they won’t know that unless you tell them.
Tell people in your life hey thanks for driving me, that was a great dinner, I like your singing, thanks for helping me with that. They don’t automatically know that you appreciate what they do.
With the river in blue and with blood variations. I wanted to have some crossover from my gtn cover, making things partially destroyed , like the side flaps. As well as having the sword in the same position, Gideons presence is still there! Even if she, herself, is not 🥲
Next up will be Nona's cover!
And more closeups under the cut
@theunwantedguestproject is now live!! a bunch of artists took part in illustrating Tamsyn Muir's play The Unwanted Guest. here's some cover variants I designed just for fun :') you can check out the project here 💜
I don’t follow sports at all but once in a while I like watching athletes give interviews because nine times out of ten they are really bad at it and have clearly had no training in public speaking.
You watch actors or politicians or leaders of organizations or science or history professors give interviews or do promotions, they know what to do. They’ve learned through training or personal experience how to make facial expressions, make their tone of voice more interesting, keep up the appearance of eye contact, enunciate, move their hands around, etc.
Athletes though? That’s the closest to a “just some guy” interview you’re gonna get. You watch promotions by football players and they’re like *flattest voice you’ve ever heard* let’s play ball. *stiffly holds out football to camera* and I love it deeply. I think somebody should give these poor guys some media training but at the same time please don’t because I love watching them sit stiffly in front of reporters like a block of wood and not know how to answer questions.
Yeah man like I’ve got actor training and teacher training and I would also probably just say “sports ball good” or something under those circumstances and these guys have zero interview or camera skills.
