Here's the video so far, in its fully-zoomed-out state. I'm increasingly using this structure of nine big sections, each quartered into four smaller sections – helps to keep everything organised, which is especially important for this complex topic – this video is looking to be the biggest, longest, and most in-depth video yet...

As you can see, four of the nine sections are done, so the video's about halfway finished.

I'm trying something a little different with this one by designing the video before I record the audio – that way I can keep on refining the script and making sure it fits perfectly with the video before I commit it to a recording. After that, it's just a matter of animating the zooms and transitions and such.

So yeah, the video's going really well, and I'm working hard to get it out soon.

Thanks for your support this month!

I've been thinking about the historical roles of eunuchs played throughout of the world. Eunuchs have existed across the world from the ancient empires/kingdoms of Sumerian, Rome/Greece, Ottoman, China, etc. A lot of those type of people shaped the course of history in both good and bad ways. Some helped their realms to excel and some caused the realms to collapse. But one thing those have influenced the course of history have in common which is they crave for power. I'm not sure if it's because when a man is castrated, the desire for power becomes paramount. Many eunuchs become the most trusted political advisers to the monarchs they serve. In most cases the eunuchs even rule the realm for the monarchs when they so dysfunctional to rule. However, what's interesting is that, no eunuchs who had that much power ever thought about dethroning the monarchs and take over his/her place instead. I don't think we had a eunuch king/emperor throughout of the world history. Just some random thoughts. In smaller scope, Varys is definitely a great topic and pretty much a reflection of what I wrote above. Now his motive can not simply be: I care for the realm. He sounded too politically correct. He has to have a personal dilemma.

Yeah those are some interesting thoughts on eunuchs, as you say they do seem to broadly apply to Varys... and yeah, the main contention of the video is that Varys has personal reasons underlying his political ambitions – am working on that part now (:
