HEY, HEY, EVERYONE! I Finally got back with something new... With my first sketch of Sol's Assassin Outfit! 🥹🩵

.

It's far from being fully concluded since there are tons of details I need to polish/ clean, but so far, I'm really proud of the result! 🥹🐦💛☀️

.

As you guys can see, I referenced a lot the outfit of Maria from the "Assassin's Creed Movie", who takes place in Andalusia, Spain. I like to think the colors of Aguillar and Maria were the base for the colors and shapes of the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins, Solange follows this same line, just with her outfit being cutted in a 19th Century/ "Modern" cut to follow the Era's fashion! :3

.

You can also see Sol has tons of details in her outfit, that's bc girly is rich and she will flex her money on embrodery, while still keeping the practicity and coverage of the Assassins. 💅🏽✨

In honor of my being welcomed by the horse people I ask you this question that lies at the center of our intersecting interests: does Elrond speak Rohanese/Rohirric, and if so how did he learn? (I do not think there is a canon answer? So your headcanon. I think he does not, a rare linguistic blind spot for this lore master)

Ooh, interesting question! I love to speculate! ♥️ But also, my Elrond lore isn’t super deep (though I am a devoted fan of your Dr. Peredhel, I am but a child in comparison to what people like you know about him!), so please correct me if you think I go astray anywhere.

I think you’re right that Elrond doesn’t know Rohirric as it’s spoken by the Rohirrim. Hardly anyone outside of Rohan seems to know it, and there obviously aren’t any books that he could have acquired for his famous library. There’s also no evidence that there was contact between Rivendell and Rohan in any of the years of Rohan’s existence that would have put a native Rohirric speaker in Elrond’s orbit. The only link there is would have been indirect, and that’s Aragorn. He knows Rohirric and he knows Elrond. But I strongly doubt Aragorn was using his precious time during visits back home to teach Elrond a language he didn’t really have a pressing need for — Elrond isn’t dealing with Rohan and, if he ever had to, the Rohirrim all know the Common Speech anyway (and some of their leaders even speak Sindarin!).

There IS a chance Elrond had heard an older, more archaic version of Rohirric based on contact with ancestors of the Rohirrim or related communities. That’s all speculation, of course, but Elrond did spend time in Rhovanion for the War of the Last Alliance, and that was the home of the Northmen who would become the Éothéod and eventually the Rohirrim. So it’s possible he heard some of their language then? Rohirric is also related in some respects to the languages of the Men of Dale and Esgaroth and the traditional tongue of the hobbits before they wholesale adopted the Common Speech. So if Elrond ever dealt with those communities over the ages, he might have picked up something that would have at least had some commonalities with Rohirric (just as Merry was surprised to discover that he could recognize some Rohirric words because they were related to old, archaic hobbit terms).

So, with that being said, I think my personal HC would be that Elrond knows some random words and phrases that he learned over the years in an older language that’s ancestrally related to Rohirric and might sound vaguely familiar/intelligible to a modern Rohirric speaker, but he couldn’t have a conversation in Rohirric with a Rohirrim without Aragorn to translate. And that was probably fine with him, because he had no practical need for it.

But, once he leaves Middle Earth at the start of the Fourth Age, now he’s got all the time in the world and no burdens of leadership to distract him. Now can pursue languages just for the pure joy of learning (he is that kind of nerd, said with all due affection). So maybe then he got Oromë to teach him some (Béma himself absolutely knows how to understand the language of his people!) once he got back to Valinor?

Plausible maybe? Certainly fun to think about! (I am also that kind of nerd!) And of course, anyone with the more substantive Elrond knowledge, please feel free to let me know where I’ve gone wrong!

censoring the swearing in next to normal really is like. what are they gonna censor next, literally everything the musical is about? if they can't even handle swear words i feel like maybe this wasn't the correct musical to choose lol

to be fair i think this is due to the fact that it's a pbs broadcast and therefore subject to fcc regulations about what you can and cannot say on tv in the united states. like i'm watching this on the pbs app bc i don't have cable in my apartment but this is getting broadcast on normal tv. and the only way they would've been able to get away with broadcasting n2n if not by changing the book would be to bleep every instance of a shit and fuck in the show for the broadcast, which would be obnoxious and obtrusive for a Different reason
