Headwear - Tumblr Posts
You’re confusing writers with directors of shows. Writers put these things in (in asoiaf there are a lot of very detailed helmets to show who’s who even, but the only one I can remember being in the show was Sandors from the pilot), because they don’t need to worry about the readers not knowing who it is that’s being portrayed. But in shows (Got Is horrible at that, you are absolutly right, it makes no sense why no one is wearing a helmet unless they are a side character, or no hoods North of the Wall -do you want to freeze your ears off?) directors often want their characters to wear no headwear whatsoever, even if it makes more sense if they did (or if they are marking something hostorically accurate, but for some reason no-one wears any type of headwear)
because they want the actors to be seen.
Apperently they think the audience isn’t able to pick up who a character is, if their face is even slightly covered by anything. Of course watchers could tell who someone is by the rest of their clothing (Mothers Milks in the boys always wears a chain and a graphic Shirt) Or making different headwear (Jamies lion helmet in a Game of Thonres, giving Bonnets for girls differntly coulord bands)
or simply by their voice
(as if we wouldn’t know if Butcher was talking and people who can’t hear will read the subtitles anyways).
But then aagain at least in Game of Thrones they didn’t even think the audiece could keep Osha and Asha apart, even if they share no sense, barely any episodes and it’s no done in the translations of the show, because it was just stupid to rename Asha into Yara.
Also I think showrunners in general don’t know how a blow in the head works. If you are uncountious from a blow to the head you will have brain damage and not just magically wake up and be fine.
Writers be like “we’re making this world gritty and dark and realistic” and use that as an excuse for gratuitous violence and sexism and racism but still don’t make their warrior protagonists wear helmets or show their characters suffering concussions as a result of being hit in the head multiple times

This turned out to be a little longer than planned but hey, now it can be used as a scarf.
In the end Mimikyu got to try it on too and they seem to like it :D
I got inspired by this creator on etsy:
The people have spoken, No more Pileus and all hail the mighty Petasos!
If you have seen my take of @dootznbootz idea for Odysseus, I have a huge, huuuge question...
I'm trying to came up with my own character design for Odysseus and I'm wondering what would be better.
