Day 2: Maglor of @feanorianweek

Kingship

Poppy = Sloth | Manipulation

I do think Maglor mourned when Maedhros got himself captured, I just also read Maglor as a manipulative power hungry character.

He probably convinced himself that Maedhros had died and ignored everything that proved otherwise, both as a poor coping mechanism and, subconsciously, seizing the power of being a king, although he never named himself one as that would give him trouble. He differently enjoyed the power and mourned, when Maedhros came back, for the power loss. He was happy to have his brother back of course. I don´t think he spoke against Maedhros choice to give the kingship to Fingolfin, even if he wanted it himself, as he did except Fingolfin to do something stupid and get himself killed eventually, and by agreeing he seemed more "civil" and the friendliest of his brothers, which would end up giving him political power, giving people the illusion that he´s the innocent and harmless of his family.

Maedhros | Celegorm | Caranthir | Curufin | Ambarussa | Nerdanel and Feanor

#beloved manipulative minstrel king #most of this is just my headcannon and how i read him as a character just ignore it if you dont like it #in his perfect world he would sit and play music while telling people what to do and everyone would love and respect him #when he was king he had help from caranthir and curufin with the things he didnt like or thought below him yk boring stuff like paperwork #and only did what he thought sounded fun or helped him keep support and power and of course just for the sake of being in control #i would have liked to give him a fox a cat or a snake but held on to the lion #as a way to show maedhros through it too if that makes sense #but thelien what does poppies have to do with manipulation #easy dried poppy seeds are drugs and was once used as medication and yes you can get high on them you just need a lot like a lot #which is why that if you need to take a drugtest and you have just eaten poppy seeds youll test positive but only on a very little #trust me its not gonna affect you #fun fact in some places its illegal to have red poppies in your garden because of this #still going on the flowers and deadly sins #maglor #makalaure #kanafinwe #tolkien #silmarillion #jrr tolkien #digital art #silm art #my art #feanorian week #feanorian week 2023 #feanorianweek

#when i was first coloring him in he was gonna be golden chinchilla colored but then i was like ehhh jonah magnus should be red/orange but #elias should be gray ...so i just desaturated what i already did instead of recoloring lol but #he is now supposed to be shaded silver lol #but thats why his coat pattern is on the darker side compared to what it *should* be #og elias bouchard coming from an important/roch family and while whole thing with thinking he just *deserves* stuff bc of his upbringing. #etc. -> he is purebred and matches the breed standards etc for a scottish fold of his color #obviously the eye color doesn't matter because. ahaha #i thought elias fit the Scottish fold vibes because: Scottish folds are known for looking sort of like owls and having intense eyes #and the cat body/face type (also present in british shorthairs) to me gives off sort of... unnasumming vibes? #like ahaha yes i am a boring boss who loves paperwork look at how unnasumming i am season 1-2 elias y'know #trying to think of what cat breed jonah would be. and also jon gerry etc you know all the other characters i like #would it be boring to have multiple british shorthairs #i mean.. #Michael shelley/distortion is a laperm that's all I know #i didn't particularly care with the personality attributes associated with eliascat because it didn't need to fit his personality on account #of not being his original body. but i do try to keep in mind the best personality/look/etc. cat attributes as a whole for a character #also sometimes get obsessed with jt making historical and geographical sense but then it just limits me greatly to a point im not into it #so i don't care about specific breeds in that respect lol #tma #my art #elias bouchard #the magnus archives #some notes looking back(made it 2 hours ago but still looking back ok..) on it now are that i feel like elias would never choose this breed #for his next bodyhop because of the inherent health issues in scottish folds. I saw the breed was created in like the early 1960s and #assumed that maybe the health issues wouldn't have been common knowledge until later enough for jonah to be unaware of them but actually no #there's legislation about it like 6 years later LOL so jonah would..maybe not make this choice #i guess in the future when drawing i will just make him a British shorthair #my catTMA is simultaneously 'they are just regular cats or like all show cats or something' and 'exact tma plot but as intelligent cats' #LOL its just vague in my mind idk..also maybe jon can be an Abyssinian #ALSO WHAT WAS I THINKING 'jonah may not have been aware about x thing' like did i...did i forget. me 2 hours ago was dumb as rocks

experiencing fhjy while currently being in the equivalent of junior year is so. Yeah that's what it's like that's how school treats you that's how I'm feeling RIGHT NOW. I love how perfectly accurate it is and I also hate it so much because they don't deserve to go through this shit

#like fuck man #im currently fucking struggling through school clawing my way to exams so i can stop dealing with all this bullshit and have a life #and i cannot WAIT until its over cause next years gonna be the chillest #but fuckin hell man some of these moments #adaine struggling cause the school just won't provide the resources she needs. fabian dealing with a 150% workload + ecs. #kristen being genuinely gifted but finding the paperwork so awful that her grades are plummeting. #gorgug being told he cant do what he wants to do because they want to keep him focusing on the path he chose when he was 14. #riz trying to keep his friends together because if they separate he doesnt know what hed do #ough #kristen especially is resonating with me HARD her entire energy is so fucking relatable rn #its giving burnout its giving tired undiagnosed teenager its giving doesnt know wtf theyre doing #shes strongly considering dropping out but then looking back and going FUUUCK I KNOW I GOTTA JUST PUSH THROUGH #shes hating the work its making enjoying the subject harder shes needing a break and nobodys willing to give her one #shes so me this year actually. realest ever I'll defend her til i DIE #d20 #fhjy

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #I had to go out and run some errands since my wife can't do them while she's in the hospital #I got it all done and I've been aggressively medicating but wow I am super tired and sick #my normal available energy in a day is 'sit uprightish on the couch' not 'walk around town for 2 hours' #she feels well enough that she would be comfortable coming home tomorrow #it's just a question of whether the weekend staff is willing to do the paperwork or not #cuz a lot of places don't do weekend discharges for her stuff #so she may be coming home monday instead. #we are working together (along with her more official types of support) to make sure this doesn't have to happen again. #(one of the people from her work wants to go visit her sunday if she's not home and offered to give me a ride) #(which will be uh. also really exhausting and painful.) #(especially with all my ~medical trauma~) #(but it would help her feel better.)

District manager is coming in to the store today and I swear if she says anything bad about how I'm running my department I'm gonna blow a fuse

#LIKE. SERIOUSLY FUCK OFFFFFFF. #I've been short-staffed since I started and it has literally only been me since the new year #I'm supposed to have 3 part-timers to help me but the company refuses to pay a living wage so no one wants to work here #I'm literally doing the work of double my hours NO SHIT I'm not doing any of the manager stuff rn #god forbid I prioritize the customers over the company paperwork #only preempting criticism because she was really harsh on me when I first started #and I don't mind criticism but it has become increasingly clear that no one actually knows what happens in my department #they just know what paperwork I'm supposed to be filing they don't actually know what services we provide... #it's insane honestly. at least my store manager is trying to help out but idk if anyone over her head actually gives a fuck about it lol

one of the pieces of anakin's fall that everyone always misses is his use of the clones. anakin skywalker, who at 9 wanted to become a jedi. who was so haunted by guilt that he left his mother a slave. who violated the jedi code because he couldnt bear to spend another night not knowing his mother was safe. that anakin. that anakin was ok leading the clones to war. the clones who were made for this, made to work and toil and die without end, so the natborns could live peacefully.

i think if anakin wasnt reeling from the death of his mother and hadnt started slipping to the dark side already he wouldn't have agreed with the use of the clones. i think he would see himself in them - forever scorned, subhuman for the circumstances of their birth, desperately trying to rise above the fact that everyone they've ever met only has an interest in leashing them. so anakin being a general and agreeing to lead the clones is much more sinister than it seems at first blush.

the jedi order agreeing to lead the clones is its own egregious violation of the jedi code. theyre peacekeepers, not generals. they fight individually or in pairs, not in coordinated attacks (see geonosis). everything about them is not meant for violence, but for protection. but for the jedi to lead the clones to be anakin - it's even worse. the jedi know slavery is bad, but they do not expend resources trying to end it - for political reasons ofc, they themselves are at the whims of the republic - but anakin has Lived it. he is more like the clones than any other jedi, which makes his leading them all the more painful and heartwrenching and sick

#like. it makes me sick im going bonkers !!!!!!! anakin looks at rex and his inability to leave and sees himself !!!!! #granted. anakin has cptsd and is groomed by palpatine and im not saying he doesnt have his own complexes about what he does #nor am i saying anakin didnt do what he could to get on with his troopers and try his best to keep them alive. but i Am saying that anakins #fall started when palpatine first met him and planted those seeds of doubt and fear. and that his unquestioning leadership of the clones is #just another thing he lost to his desperation to keep those he loves safe. #he just makes me bark yknow. many thoughts. #i want to do like a fixit where rex and anakin actually like. talk abt the clones and their status and how they were made #and maybe ahsoka and obiwan hunt down exactly the circumstances in which the clones were made. and they maybe realize just how much of #anakin is grief and pain and things they could never understand. but that rex knows intimately. #and then palpatine explodes or trips and falls and dies or fox gets sick of palpatine giving him endless paperwork and beheads him. idk. #canis speaks #starwar #starwar.anakinskywalker #anakin skywalker #<- risking it w a canon tag. dont kill me guys👍

[marklikely]

fingers crossed maybe i can turn in my name change petition today

#this is going to sound stupid but i cant figure out. how to file a petition to do it. #all the resources just say file a petition and im like ok how. do i just bring the paperwork to the courthouse and turn it in #do i mail it somewhere do i make an appointment. idk #so i have everything printed out and im in town anyway so im just gonna go to the court and ask lol #and im kind of hoping theyll be like yep just give me those papers. but if not at least they will tell me what i have to actually do #avpost #im just nervous bc im gonna look like an idiot walking up like hiii. how do i file a petition here.... #everyone i know only changed their names for marriage and divorce and also it wasnt in this county #so since the rules vary so much everywhere they cant rlly help that much.

in case anyone noticed how my shop is in a weird halfway rebranded state it´s because i´m currently still fighting the country of austria over changing my legal name to Bark  (:

#them: we googled it and that´s not a name #me: can i just send you the results that proof it´s a name? #them: yes. #me: sends the proof #them: actually we are gonna need to contact the ambassadorships of several countries now to verify your name #me. an adult who had to send a shitton of medical psychiatric paperwork that states i´m not only definetly trans but also fully mentally #capable of making rational choices: cool cool i call you back in a week i guess (: #like damn there are people who give kids the most horrid names here #changing my gendermarker was for some reason easier????? #i´m so confused yall

Kaeya once jokingly referred to Bennett as 'Bennett Guildson' in lightly scolding him over endangering himself, and Bennett most Definitely considered making that his actual name on his official Adventurer's Guild paperwork, send post-

#hc; kaeya #hc; bennett #//Forver love the idea of Kae saying smth to clown; and the person going Wait a sec; you COOKED here- #//And Kae just flounders and/or laughs his ass off bc WHY are you listening to me of all people; I wasn't SERIOUS 😅- #//Dude can handle people being Done with his clowning or rejecting it; but taking it Seriously and it ACTUALLY working well??? #//Dude would be both stunned but also flattered #//This case however; he was very much caught off guard #//This is a Very Impressionable Kiddo after all! #//However between the two of them; the name did stick. Kae will call him that in the typical Full Named By Mom fashion #//And Benny will introduce himself like that at the start of training or when they play up dramatics #//Benny DOES want to make it official; but Kae did gently talk him out of it. For the moment #//Bc Kae thought Bennet might regret taking it on later; so he ought to let him think on if he might want one of his dads' names instead #//But won't press any further if Benny truly does have his heart set on it. Low key is down to give Benny his own last name if he wants #//And would be so happy if he'd want to take it; bc the kid; like Klee and Noelle; is sb he's fond of like family #//Benny actually likes Guildson tho; bc it includes them ALL. He might even make it official on/near an upcoming father's day #//Keeps forgetting to tho. or losing the paperwork when he does get it

“ooooh late-diagnosed people have it so hard it’s so much better for people who were diagnosed in their childhood” stop it! they’re just giving you excuses! i was diagnosed with autism at a young age and my college refused to accept my paperwork because it was “too old”, meanwhile a bunch of my peers are given shit when seeking accommodations and whatnot because “ooh you were diagnosed too late”. no one has it better they’re just telling you bullshit.

#like ok there's some things that i have experienced that are probably better than someone who was diagnosed late #but there are also things i experienced due to my childhood diagnosis that sucked. #and furthermore: having been in special ed since... i dont know actually when i started? maybe 2nd grade? #and furthermore: just because i have a longer history of diagnosis and paperwork still does not grant me enough Legitimacy #in the eyes of Big Ableism (sorry. cant think of a way to phrase this) #no one will ever be 'good enough' #they are pitting people against each other and giving you dumb reasons as to why they wont accept and listen to you #sorry i just. the whole thing with my autism expiring and me explaining it to my peers at college was like. #oh people really think i have it better. they really told them they actually *like* it when people are diagnosed in childhood. #people actually believe that that is a magical wand that allows you to bypass ableism #bc ppl were so surprised that this was happening to me #dude they will give you bullshit abt diagnoses and paperwork no matter what!!! it's gatekeeping!!! #ignore the fact that two of these tags start with 'and furthermore' in a weird way. for some reason i cannot edit them

Me: "I need to renew my non-driver's ID."

My Dad: "If you get your driver's license, you won't need to worry about that."

Me: "Fun fact, old man, I didn't start learning to drive until late last year, because you wouldn't teach me or help me pay for lessons when I was younger, and have zero confidence I could pass the computer test let alone the practical examine in less than a month's time, so kindly get off my shit about this and help me get this sorted so I can actually move forward with literally any of this beaurecratic nightmare bullshit-"

#Lamp rambles #I kind of need that ID to even get my license dude #there's so much 'prove you live here' shit with this paperwork that it's like #look people I just want to get this over with but y'all always wanna give me a hard time about it #it is never easy and the dmv is a fucking nightmare

[izzibeeb]

sometimes seeing the accommodations my school offers is like. genuinely insane. one of the accommodations for test-taking is bathroom breaks which really only leads me to wonder why were bathroom breaks banned in the first place? why is drinking water “an accommodation” and not just like. a basic right

#even extended time is odd to me #if I can’t finish the test in time because I’m a slow reader….. shouldn’t I be allowed to take my time ?? #it’s not meant to be based on how FAST you can do it #<- this isn’t me trying to rag on the kids with extended time either #they always try to calculate like the minimum amount of time they can give kids for a test #while still technically ‘accommodating’ them #but like. obviously they COULD be giving us more time #also I’m pretty sure I have some kind of undiagnosed condition that would give me extended time if I had a doctor’s note for it #AND I DONT THINK I SHOULD NEED A DOCTOR’S NOTE!!! #I SHOULD JUST BE ALLOWED TO PEE GODDAMMIT #I shouldn’t need to fill out paperwork for that !!!!! #beebs blabbing #sorry I hate the way teenagers/kids are treated. all the time

anyway JGY and LXC are the ONLY two characters not only aware of the class divide but willing to do something about it.

how's that for class consciousness?

#cryptid’s thoughts #god the good they could've done in a better world #plz send me your favorite xiyao aus where they do good for the world #give me overworked but determined social worker JGY and volunteer firefighter LXC #EMS worker LXC - Surgeon LXC #basically I think LXC would find more purpose in the trenches so to speak #he wants to be right there saving lives with his own hands #JGY is fine with the paperwork and the red tape - he knows how to maneuver through the politics of it all #he WILL fix some part of this broken system #turn this into a meet-cute somehow idk I just need something

Fantasy Paperwork...

Check notes for previous instalments

You select the weather witch position after reading through your options. You're walked through the process of applying and given a stack of forms and reading materials. You're also handed a map and a list of directions that will take you where you need to go. At least now you'll have a travel allowance.

You're directed to an adjacent room to read through the materials and complete the forms. You scan through the information you've been given: Weather witches are relied upon to reduce the effects of strong winds and flooding, mostly. They take pressure off emergency services, reduce the chances of crop failure, and are called in occasionally to assist coast witches by reigning in storms.

You'll be moving closer to the coast than the mountains and will be living on the outskirts of a large town. They'll throw up a blaze when help is needed, but the witch is also expected to know when aid might be required.

Before leaving the hall, you hand in your forms. You're told they'll be processed and you'll be required to spend another night in Ringle before you can take the stamped forms to the local council of the new town.

The next day will see you ride another wagon that'll take you further up north. You're grateful the town is large enough to warrant a stop in its centre. For now, you have some time to yourself.

#polls #cyoa #it's very important to me to give the tired girls (gn) a voice in these trying times #the most fantastical element here is that paperwork takes only one business day to be processed #also sorry or whatever for being obsessed with fantasy bureaucracy its just very funny to me #ibwas speaking to tumblr user unfavorableinstigation and well maybe there will be a rival apprentice who invents flat escalators for roads #what who said that

boss sent me an email asking if i got the uni PhD stipend and I remembered that I did not get it

#talking to myself #i dont even know how they decided whom to give them to #probably based on our initial application scores #which means that if 6 people got it #and i was 7th #i was once again right behind the finish line #also i hope my boss wont rope me into signing for some grant #that forces me to finish my phd in 3 years #cuz i will kms #and my coworker scared me how he has to do mountains of paperwork for his grant #but then again our institute is always in need of cash money #augh #literally the worst part about phd is the money and the paperwork #otherwise its just you do study you write your silly papers and you do a science
