#after the war of the ring

[thatcaithness]

I wanna see Elessar living his best life with his beloved wife and their children, chilling in Minas Tirith with some of the elves in Ithilien, rebuilding the Northern Kingdom, Annúminas and the lands around. I wana see him meeting his hobbit friends on the borders of the Shire. I wanna see  Elanor being completely obssessed with Arwen as a teenager until finally her father gives up, goes to Elessar and Arwen and Arwen is so delighted and Elanor goes to live with them and they just have the best of times together.

Cody: everyone stitch this with the most messed up war crime your general has committed right in front of you I’ll start; there was this time with a tube sock and a bottle of bleach, story started on Tenoo-

Rex: Oh, nah your General has done WAY worse than that.

Cody: Yes but this one was so out of pocket and messed up on a personal level istg he concocted this one just to watch the world burn-

Wolffe: Um??? My general has never committed a warcrime around me????

Cody: *glares at him for daring to speak in his presence* Did anyone ask you?

Wolffe: technically you did.

Cody: technically you should have been eaten in the decanting tank-

Wolffe: YOURE JUST MAD IM BABEY AND YOURE GROUCHY!!

Cody: I LIKE BEING GROUCHY YOU LITTLE PIMPLE!

Rex: *steals the comm while they fight to the death in the background* Sorry about them, 17 says they’ve been threatening to end the other since before they could talk. He’s got baby videos of them beating each other up before they could walk, it’s so cute. Sometimes he watches them and cries when drunk.

Cody: *pulling hair*

Wolffe: *trying to bite through Cody’s gloves*

Snort

What if oropher didn’t die in the battle of the last alliance but just used the opportunity to fake his death and escape with his wife and go on an extended honeymoon and leave all the damn paperwork and diplomacy with the noldor/sindar to his poor son.

Thranduil, when his father is finally waking up after getting many fatal injuries during battle: Ada!! Everyone thought you were gonna die!

Oropher, pausing when his son’s words registered: Everyone?

Thranduil, as he watches in disbelief as Oropher bolts away from him with a few supplies: Ada WAIT! DON’T LEAVE ME TO DEEL WITH THEM!

Oropher: don’t worry son, i’m sure you’ll do great!

————————————

Gil-galad: where is king oropher?

Thranduil, a petty lil bitch that will get back at his father: unfortunately, my my father king passed after suffering many grievous injuries during the last battle.

———————————-

Oropher, coming back from his long vacation in the third age: i’m dead? Nobody told me.

Thranduil: that’s what you get for abandoning me to those elves.

Thranduil: suffer

rennala marika toxic yuri i cant get you out of my head

#long rant incoming #it is very much implied that marika and radagom are their own people/personalities. theyre just stuck in the same body #i am of the belief that radagon was created or manifested after marika ascended to godhood #as his presence is mysterious and miriel was actively confused as to why just. some guy. some champion would have so much control over an- #-army (referring to the caria/erdtree war) #i think its fascinating to think radagon and marika are the same person. not just in the literal inhabitance of the body. like two- #-different sides of a person #but the lore very much leans towards them having their own conscience #as much as i like the former idea #BUT the description of the preceptors hat/mask has implications that rennala possibly knew of this secret #because what other secret does radagon have to hide? #and like. she stayed with him despite this. #(sorry for the amount of this i said imply/implication) #there is not much material to go off of for marika/renalla but its not like there isnt ANY #toxic yuri...... #i once talked about an interesting parallel between them but i literally have to fresh myself up on that #as i dont think about them very often #edit: oh fuck me dead i forgot to tag spoiler #elden ring spoilers

Sorry but my thoughts are still on the nature of death in dnd (and other fiction where resurrection is possible), specifically on the implications it has on worldbuilding.

Resurrection magic existing kind of makes for cultural issues that have no parallel in our world. Some of it compares - such as the inherent class divide and tensions when the rich and powerful can literally buy their way out of death (a class divide is a class divide, this just digs the chasm deeper, which I'd love to see explored more in media btw) - but the implications on grief and acceptance are on another level. In our world, there is no bargaining with death. So much of our lives is spent coming to terms with the fact that we will all die one day, and mourning and moving on whenever death strikes near us. We experience stages of grief like denial and rage and bargaining but in the end there is no escaping it, no matter how hard you work or beg or rage. Clinging on can only hurt you. It's pointless. All you can do is move on, and it is so hard.

But if death is conditional. Impermanent. Something that can be defeated with money or power or faith. How do you ever move on. On a societal and cultural level, there should be entire rebellions based around who has access to resurrection. Powerful people offering resurrections as incentive would be all over the place, with desperate people selling their souls and freedom and entire lives to save a loved one. Would soldiers fear dying, seen as disposable, or would they fear being brought back again and again to die eternally on the battlefield?

But on an individual level. Is acceptance of the inevitability of death even possible when it’s no longer inevitable? If you decide that no, you can not give up everything to go pursue resurrection of your child, will you hate yourself? You could save them. Why aren’t you? Why aren’t you doing everything in your power? How much do you hate the people who have this power but won’t offer it freely? If you yourself are brought back from the dead and find out most of your loved ones just, let you go, would you hate them? Would you feel abandoned and betrayed? If you’re watching from the afterlife and see your loved one, who’s been working to get you back, decides to accept your death and move on because they have found new love, would you find a way to fucking haunt them? Oh, you think I only lived for you? That I don’t want life just because I can’t have you, too? How selfish is that. But how selfish would it be to bring someone back only to salve your own feelings of guilt, whether they want to or not? Would there be an entire industry of mediums based on people needing to ask their loved ones if they wish to remain dead or not? How much more powerful would hate and love and hubris be in this world, lacking the absolute limit of death?

#nella talks #long post #i have similar feelings of how worlds with scientifically provable gods would be impacted on a cultural level #bc in our world you can believe however much you want but you can never prove a thing. that's the whole point of faith #but if you could literally ring up a god and ask what happens after death? #how would that impact the nature of faith and religion? #would there still be religious wars if you could just ask gods opinion? #would knowing where you go post death be worse than the freedom of finding whatever internal truth comforts you personally? #can you tell how frustrated i am that so many fantasy stories are entirely disinterested in digging into this stuff #stop writing fantasy worlds that are just historical fiction with magic sprinkled on top #make them weird. make them unearthly. make them alien. #show me just how much society changes when the laws of nature shifts slightly to the left

Day 7: Nerdanel and Feanor of @feanorianweek

Healing

Amaryllis = Pride | Resisting

Yes, he's a statue, Nerdanel is taller than him. He´s painted simply for the reason that in a lot of ancient buildings, the statues were painted, and I like to think this takes place in Formenost which is a Noldor city. Maybe you could pull a white statue in Alqualonde, or Tirion on a good day. And a Noldor city, in my own head, translate to lots of colors and shops of different crafts.

Maedhros | Maglor | Celegorm | Caranthir | Curufin | Ambarussa

#i dont feel like i made her look as strong as i wanted #i do think he gets reembodied before dagor dagorath but its still a long time after the war of the ring #i wanted to make him a white statue but liked him a bit too much and thought he could get some colors as a treat and then my mind began #tolkien #silmarillion #jrr tolkien #nerdanel #feanor #feanaro #silm art #digital art #my art #feanorian week #feanorianweek #feanorian week 2023

It's funny how... They desperately try to update a story and almost succeed and make it make sense and the women get interesting roles and the gender essentialism is made 'unfortunate' or changed but then the story has to return to the original vision and Chani the Warrior, Chani the Clear-Sighted cannot tell Paul: you piece of shit. If you want to be emperor, alright, but let my people go. Leave this place. Give me the nuclear codes.

The original books said: this was inevitable. But it wasn't. And the films definitely make this clear. But they have to say the same thing or it truly isn't the same story anymore: this was inevitable.

Though it wasn't.

#even if most of her people are lost to lisan al gaib and the jihad... not all... #1. paul could have chosen to die in a million futures where he doesnt win: didnt #2. paul could have said: ok i got arrakis now: i got the spicefields hostage: ive got the emperor: we are starting our terraforming and not #doing the war #3. he could have knelt to chani and said: heres my blood heres my ring you get the nuclear codes im at your service #4. he could have chosen to die again after having bested the emperor by trying to ascend without an army behind him #well ANYWAYYYY #chani HAD to be silent and silenced to make the story work #not speak a single word to him again #dune #my stuff
