The Black Casebook

@blackcasebook.bsky.social

It's conceptually intriguing for House of the Dragon to follow largely incompetent characters vying fitfully for power in a system that coerces their participation through fear, envy, and prejudice. I just don't know if the show has quite the juice or the focus to pull it off.

when friends realize i'm that bitch with the apposite mouth, they cry out for my blood upon the earth. They say I'm too trenchant, they say remove my organs from my body alive and conscious. I try telling them that God just made me different, but that only stokes their bloodlust. It's a real shitter

If you're a gamer and you haven't actually been either in the industry or been close to people who are, you do not know shit about nothing.

You should probably not opine on these subjects.

Leo Tolstoy, 1869: My book cannot be considered a novel, because it includes a long discussion of Napoleon’s defeat.

Victor Hugo, 1862: I have sandwiched an 18-chapter digression on Napoleon’s defeat into the 2nd most melodramatic and sentimental novel of the 19th century, nbd.
