Good Morning, World


My first instinct upon seeing this photo of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms star Peter Claffey (well okay it was technically my second instinct, but we won't go into my first instinct here in mixed company) was to set it aside for my annual post of hot guys smoking that I post every May to celebrate the anniversary of when I quit smoking. But then, staring at all six foot five of the man there, I realized it'd be cruel not to post this photo for us all to appreciate immediately. It also allows me to ask if any of you watched the show's premiere, and what you thought? Even though I thought the last season of Game of Thrones was such a mixed bag I was ready to leave Westeros behind forever (Martin's refusal to finish his goddamned books hasn't helped) but I did find myself pulled back in by House of the Dragon, and right off the bat I liked KotSK as well. I guess I remain a Westeros nerd after all. But I found Claffey to be a real charmer, there was some great hot homo-tension between him and actor Daniel Inges, and most of all it certainly didn't hurt that this brick wall of ginger ass greeted us so early in the proceedings:

I suddenly have a strong desire to go outside and climb a tree.

Also charmed. Reviews from some who've watched the whole season aren't very positive but I'm invested... for now.

To my great joy, I found myself caught up in it. In no small part due to Peter Claffey's rich voice and performance, but also in the more grounded storytelling - less magic and lore and dragons (although stage dragon!).

I quit smoking a looong time ago but seeing a hot dude with a cigarette is STILL fucking sexy.
