I think it's had a huge impact on me, too! I have a hard time imaging how different I'd be if I had siblings growing up.
I love House of the Dragon so far! I actually did a piece on it back when it was airing. I'm not sure if I can say I'm team Alicent though lol. In Game of Thrones I always had a penchant for the antihero characters. Even Ramsay Bolton I couldn't help but root for in a few scenes, as fucked up as it is to say. Damon really taps into a lot of what I enjoyed about Ramsay as a character.
I think it's a testament to how amazing the universe is that opinions on characters are so divided. I'm extremely excited to see where the show goes in the seasons to come!
