More medieval hair ranting

[cimorene]

I'm not the first person to mention how not only is all the hair on House of the Dragon bad - except Alicent's (some of the time) - but especially every single person who's wearing a half ponytail, which is so many people, and all of the Targaryens at almost all times, that it's basically the Targaryen Style. And it's so bad! It's way too simple for almost every context we see it in and it doesn't even look good! But it's not just them. We see this travesty of a style on other people too.

Beyond the obvious nerdpickery aspect of it, there's just something so... I dunno, meditative? tender? grounded? about works which pay attention to the little details of the day-to-day. Not just the flashy battles and dramatic intrigues, but: the unconscious physicality of dairywork. The bone-deep rhythm of spinning and weaving. The weight of a censer, a plow, or an inkstone. An instinctive ritual. What's assumed and not said.

I guess TV has its profits to reap but.
