A Son for a Son — Dragon Time with Schwift and Glidus (House of the Dragon S2E01)

🩸🧀 THANKS Nebula for sponsoring this video, and for hosting 50 HOURS of exclusive Glood and Schweeze content. Sign up at go.nebula.tv/glidus for 40% off an annual subscription -- only $2.50 a month. The full version of this video is available here: nebula.tv/videos/altschwiftx-schwift-and-glidus-di… Our ridiculous 23-hour commentary on Game of Thrones, THE FAKE JON SNOW, is available here: nebula.tv/videos/altschwiftx-the-fake-jon-snow?ref… These are all on Nebula's podcast feed as well. For the real girlies, here's my season plan: - Every week, I'll be posting "Dragon Time," these highlight cuts of my discussions with Schwift. The goal is to get them out mere hours after each episode airs. - The full discussions will be available on both our Nebula pages. - I will be making other shorter videos on various topics throughout the week. - I will be working on fully-produced video essays a la Blisstake and Pisstake, but these will NOT be coming out weekly throughout the season. That is simply not possible, because: - I will be working on Alt Shift X's "Explained" videos throughout this season. Please don't talk to Schwifty about this, we're working through it on our own terms. Thank you for tuning in. Feel free to laugh at people who ask questions answered by this comment

Bruh aint no way you put this video out the day episode airs but im gonna wait 3 years for the episode 8 breakdown

A Lannister being called a steed is driving me insane, there's no way

Helaena, stopping during her escape with Jaehaera to think on where to go: "Where do I find some fucking guards around here? Oh yeah, my mom's bed."

"They no longer breathe our air... BECAUSE I TURNED THEM INTO SQUISHERS!!! NOW THEY BREATHE WATER WITH GILLS!!!" Alicent: 😰

"Aegon the Strong." Aegon: "My nephews have already taken that one."

The council balls are just GOT fidget spinners

This must prove that Alt Shift X and Schwifty are two different people. There’s no way he could have done his 3 hour breakdown immediately after the episode aired and this so quickly.

Daemon's a pretty solid depiction of what a Sociopath actually acts like. He has high cognitive empathy, awful affective empathy. Impulsive with no real regard for social norms, the rights of others or consequences. Shallow emotional affect; he doesn't feel much, but what he does feel strongly are things like rage, contempt, envy and avarice (hence why he processes his sadness/grief as anger). Prone to violence with a need for power/control. Rarely experiences guilt or remorse. Can be quite charming and funny when he wants to be. Can experience love, it's just for a select few people and it's...y'know, Daemon's version of love. Like you can see he DOES love his family, but when one of them requires warmth, comfort, etc., he's like "Ohh uhh...I mean, I can kill somebody for you, if you'd like? Would it help if I seethed over you being wronged?"

do you think that aemond stares in the mirror and calls himself ‘the rogue prince’?

"Errors were made (but not by me)" is another good tip for climbing in any organization, as well as taking credit for the ideas of others.

Every time Oldtown is mentioned but Daeron isn't, it gets sadder.

I wonder if that's the same dog that is eventually owned by Septon Meribald

I think part of the reason why Alicent was feeling so uncomfortable while she was taking a bath is because she knows all those new servants were hand picked by Larys.

Whenever Cheese isn't on screen, everyone should be asking "where's Cheese"

“A king must never sit comfortably” Aegon: lounging without even a scratch

"I think they may have actually read the book and paid attention." XD

Can't believe Ryan didn't use Glidus' cover of Toto's Africa for the new intro music. Guess I'll have to wait a week to see if he fixed that mistake.

Even though Alicent and Criston are getting it on, Larys remains her solemate
