In this episode we discuss season 2 of House of the Dragon with a special guest, Bidonica! Together we talk about art in ASOIAF/HotD compared to the history of art in our world, (trans)gender politics in HotD and our world, language and power, class politics, and more!
And also why Italian fan artists draw Sansa with dark hair...
