dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm watching this show. I'm not a big fan or anything, but I like peasants and middle ages stuff. I could do without all the silly names and magic, but we don't get many high production medieval media anymore. Anyway, I feel the show was edited to be released all at once on HBO Max but someone decided to put it out weekly. Infuriating. They've gone through maybe 2 story beats in 5 eps. Just let me binge my slop.

The short story it's based off is much shorter than you probably think. About 30K~ words. I'm sure it feels that way not because it was designed to be released all at once, but because the original story was not really written to support a HBO drama.
