Now that the Emmy season is over, when will Connor's next appearance/content/ event happen? Many people thought that he would show up at the Emmy's tonight but since he wasn't presenting or nominated in any of the categories for the 14th I didn't expect him to appear. The next event could be the potential Armani campaign, but those celeb campaign roll outs are going to happen steadily all through out the remainder of the year and the upcoming year, so it could potentially be months before that happens and even when it does, an IG post is 50/50. There's also no Tiffany or YSL shows on the calendar and his film project wont be debuting until "potentially" later next year. Hopefully some surprise magazine cover or interview drops. But given the lack of info, as it stands, it could be months or until next year without any official content and half a year without an IG post. It's going to be a heavy content drought. And even those paparazzi photos are happening less and less (thankfully). Does anyone know any new info? It would be great to be up to date!

I just found out that Robert Jordan was originally planning The Wheel of Time as a trilogy. That sounds so interesting and I wonder what that story would have ended up like. Is there any more info out there about that original trilogy idea? What do you guys think the narrative would have been like?

There's been an ongoing trend where people are voicing their fatigue over Targaryen related adaptations & content. The funniest & most ironic part about this is how most people start mentioning better options but all those options feature Targaryens. One of the biggest adaptations mentioned being Robert's Rebellion, which is literally a story that tells the end of the Targaryen dynasty. I would love to see other stories told unrelated to House Targaryen, but Targaryens ruled Westeros for centuries of course they'll be inevitably involved in different narratives.

I just rewatched the Game of Thrones: History & Lore for Season 5 and it seems like in that version of the Dance of the Dragons Jace, Luke & Joffrey are silver-haired dragon riders. There's also no mention of the "bastards" subplot. It also seems like they have Rhaenys as Jaehaerys' sister instead of granddaughter. In addition, important battles and events are not mentioned or skipped over.

Is this is an earlier version of George's story? Or is this just alternative retelling?

I'm fairly new to the whole theory portion of the ASOIAF fandom, and I've been seeing a lot about the concept of dragons & magic stifling technological progress in Westeros specifically. Can someone explain how this came about and what it generally means? I know Westeros is suppose to be a pseudo-medieval, fantasy realm but according to the theories they've been stagnant as a society for centuries because of the magical elements in Westeros? Is this correct?

I have a genuine question. I just watched the first episode for this new season and I realized that "The Vampire Lestat" show is listed on AMC+ as a separate & completely new show adjacent to the "Interview With The Vampire". I'll be honest and admit that I haven't been up to date with any production info or interviews but is there a reason for this? Was this always the plan after the first 2 seasons of IWTV? Would this be considered a direct spinoff? It's not an issue for me of course, but just curious.

There's been a lot of discourse since the release of the recent teaser trailer about the Storming of the Dragonpit, which might not even even be happening this season. From some quick observations, the conversations stem from the dragon size differences between 'House of the Dragon' vs 'Fire & Blood'. Many people are claiming that the dragons should be bigger in the show, while others are claiming that if the dragons were any bigger many subplots wouldn't make sense lore wise or narrative wise, including the Storming of the Dragonpit.

Some are saying that if the dragons were the sizes described in 'Fire & Blood' then the Storming of the Dragonpit wouldn't have happened as described in the books, with a mob of peasants killing the dragons with axes, swords etc. I think it makes logic in the book, given that the dragons were chained and they were in a confined space and ultimately the collapse of the pit, but I can understand why some people would not think it makes a lot sense lore wise, given how powerful dragons are.

What do you guys think about this and how do you think it'll translate to screen without looking like the dragons are "nerfed"?
