Iwan to use another bad pun for a title, so don’t Rheon my parade

I have two basic rules for posting images online:

One:
Downscale to biggest displayed size x2 to accommodate HiDPI screens.

Two:
No image gets published without proper alt text.

The only times I’ll budge on these are when platform restrictions apply, like MFC’s BB code not allowing alt text or Dreamwidth not serving 200px icons for HiDPI screens. But while I love image editing, writing image descriptions of any kind or length has always felt like pulling teeth. As a result, I have a bunch of graphics-based posts sitting in my files simply because I’m often too lazy to start/get overwhelmed while writing their resprective alt texts and IDs.

All that preamble is to say: This is one of those posts, so it’s more than a year out of date.

And what exactly is “this”? I’m still not sure what to call it but on my computer the related files are saved in a folder called “IRR”—Iwan Rheon Retrospective.
There’s a joke in there to be made about how the German word “irr(e)” means crazy…

At some point in 2022 I realized that through my regular rewatches of the Ramsay Bolton themed Game of Thrones supercut I’d made (I literally had the video files on my phone to bring with me everywhere) I had managed to acquire an almost Pavlovian reflex of happiness to the actor portraying him. I’ve never really been a fan of an actor before—the closest I ever came was making viewing/listening decisions based on voice actor casting—so since this was new ground I thought it would be fun to go through Iwan Rheon’s IMDB page and watch as much of it as possible.
