Somewhere, faintly through the mists, the mocking laughter of gulls.
Eurostar disrupted by remnants of the last world war. The writing for this season is sledgehammer subtle.
The return of heavy, seasonal dreams and waking up exhausted from them. There should be a word for how fully mentally-engaged you feel inside that fever intensity.
Let’s just take this panel by panel I suppose. Mess about with the Big Guy until something starts to look vaguely appropriate, then try to mimic it on his little friend.
NMM gold experimentation as the next random diversion I think. Definitely going to be handy to have a Truly Enormous version without any fussy small details to work things out on.
/looks at the Drogon slices… /mutters something about a bigger boat…

His little boots have a strap around them that I wasn’t expecting. Sudden colour paralysis.
I have, definitely intentionally, decided that he should have Very Shiny arms. Didn’t come up much in the show, but a big part of the books.

Starting into his jerkin and only realising while taking this photo that the filigree is approximately the same width as the ridges of my fingerprints 😬
1,400 increasingly unhinged words deep now, including a plot-justified bad haiku. Might as well just ship me that first place hat now.
… and of course despite having a week, I choose to leave myself with a last day sprint.
