Attached is a screenshot from my Instagram feed. Within the photo is a picture of myself eating three cones of ice cream. In relation to what was currently trending, the final season 8 of Game of Thrones, I have decided to make my caption similar to the title of my favorite GOT character, Daenerys Targaryen. To match her long title, I decided to put my own twist on it by making it represent myself and the ice cream cones to be my three dragons.
The original GOT title reads, "Daenerys of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, The Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Protector of the Realm, Lady Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons”
My take on that reads "Rebecca Edelstein of House Edelstein, First of Her name, The unburnt, Queen of the Samples and First in line (at Costco), Khalessi of the Great Food, Breaker of Belts and Mother of Sprinkles. Game of Cones."
This simple yet obnoxious caption is one way I used a New Media platform, Instagram, to foster my creativity by relating my post to a then hot topic of discussion, Game of Thrones.
Hi Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI love this post! I also enjoyed the Game of Thrones series, so I can fully appreciate your twist on Daenerys' title. I agree that our Instagram accounts can foster our creativity, as it is so prevalent in our everyday lives. I think that if social media is used positively, such as in this case, it can be a fun experience. Being able to relate to pop-culture through new media is a valuable skill to have in today's society.
Hi Rebecca, first of all loved this image. It shows the creative side of you using the three ice cream cone as Deanery's dragons, in your case "Mother of sprinkles and game of Cones."The last season was disappointing of the show, but your post tops it all.
