House Of The Dragon And Time Jumps

By on January 25, 2023

Spoiler Alert – This post will talk about House Of The Dragon and will contain spoilers. If you haven’t watched this show up to and including Episode 6, you might want to skip this.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are watching House Of The Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel.

It takes me about 3 episodes to get into a show. By episode 6 of House Of The Dragon, I still wasn’t captured but the Dear Wonderful Hubby was.

We decided to finish the season.

Then…episode 6 happened.

Episode 6 involves a 10 year time jump. Time jumps are jarring for both viewers and readers. We, writers, risk losing readers whenever we do time jumps.

But this time jump was even more jarring because they had recast many of the lead actors.

They not only recast them but they changed their personalities. Many of the characters became harsher. Their innocence and their hope were obliterated.

As the Dear Wonderful Hubby pointed out, it was like watching a brand new show.

We’re debating whether or not to watch this brand new show. Do we care enough to figure out who everyone is, what they want, what their plans and hopes and dreams are?

We haven’t yet made this decision.

THIS is the danger of shifts in time.

Raw Desires

(This description is VERY much unedited. My Awesome Editor, if she saw I was sharing it with you, would probably have an emotional meltdown.)

His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.

***

Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors to have located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.

Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough and tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.

Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.

All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.

Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.

The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment and she won’t fail at her assigned task.

The cyborg will die.

Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
