you know, i've read The Fall of Gondolin tale in The Silmarillion some days ago and honestly...

i don't think Morgoth only threathened Maeglin into revealing Gondolin's location.

we're talking about the first dark lord himself, the guy who has absolutely no limits, the guy who definitely wouldn't just THREATHEN someone. everytime he kidnaps someone he always torture them physically and psichologically, i seriously doubt Morgoth just had his "soft spot" for Maeglin and threathen him without doing anything (The Silmarillion doesn't really have a 100% reliable narrator anyway...)

also, am i the only one who thinks Morgoth corrupted him a little?

there's a specific sentence which i don't remember rn but it clearly implies that Maeglin got corrupted by Morgoth's darkness, atleast for me

this is just my take

[navlaanchair]

basically

look at this fucker. not a single thought behind those eyes

old iron king was gay ash i would've gone crazy

ok ok so I recently reread the silm and right now I’m rereading LOTR and I like to listen to music as I read/do things, and I have thoughts on which of my songs parallel the silmarillion:

I Will- Mitski: this is so silm romance coded, it can really apply to any of them, but (in my humble opinion) it works soooo well for Beren and Luthien. staying together and caring for the person you love despite crushing darkness???? I’m sorry? “And by the time you wake/ I’ll be brave” can really apply to either of them, considering both of them have been pulled back from the brink of death by their partner. This song also works for Earendil and Elwing, especially if you think of it as Elwing trying to hold down the Havens and keep everyone safe while Earendil is voyaging. (Can you imagine Elwing singing this to herself at night, pretending she was singing to Earendil??? The feelsss) I also feel like you can make an argument for this song being Tuor and Idril related, especially “we’re not out of the tunnel yet/ I bet you though there’s an end/so stay with me” just the two of them trying to preserve hope and love amid the Fall of Gondolin . The whole of idea of the love between two people persevering even as their world is slowly collapsing.

tldr: Mitski’s “I Will” is so so silmarillion romance coded it HURTS to think about.

At first it meant Allied Mastercomputer, and then it meant Adaptive Manipulator, and later on it developed sentience and linked itself up and they called it an Aggressive Menace, but by then it was too late, and finally it called itself...

"Adopt me!"...

[navlaanchair]

melkor would be a mitski girlie i just know

[navlaanchair]

headcanon that everytime A.M. says "am" in any of his sentences he emphasises it with such violence like:

"ted. i AM deeply offended."

I FUCKING HATE RINGS OF POWER

On fuckass adaptations (i like the castlevania anime) (heavy ranting below)

This is ASTRONOMICALLY random as it’s barely about Castlevania and more about something i normally don’t post about but I’ve been keeping this topic inside me for far far too long. 

I fucking despise, as much as i am humanly capable to bear pure hatred, Rings of Power. I always see people complaining about the “Netflixvania” adaptations being terrible, and I do agree that they’re not accurate to the games, but heavens gracious those people have NOT seen what an actual bad adaptation is like. Sure, Castlevania got an inaccurate adaptation, but at least the adaptation, considered as its own piece of media, is decent. good even. Not the greatest thing ever written or that I've ever seen but it was, objectively, well written and animated.

Unlike that jackass shit filled abhorrent abominacion by goddamn Amazon DestroyingArtPrime that is Rings of Power. I don’t mean to hate on people who enjoy it, not at all, but to those who do, I am begging you please raise your standards, honey you deserve better than that. So. So. SO MUCH FUCKING BETTER MAN.

Every single thing about that series pisses me off in ways I wasn't even aware I could be pissed off until my parents forced me to watch it with them because “well it’s lord of the rings!!”. I did enjoy spending time with them (though i was literally, physically coerced to do so) but i so fucking wish we had spent it watching something better cuz the whole experience was beyond frustrating. The fact that it no joke is the most expensive series ever made? Are we being for real?? One. Goddamn. Million. of dollars went into creating that fucking insult to not only Tolkien’s poor dead ass, but to cinema and the art of moviemaking itself. Every single scene is so obviously, clearly edited and oversaturated with after effects and I could count on one hand the scenes that were recorded without a greenscreen. The costumes seriously look like Halloween and Carnival props a single mom on a budget would buy to her kids and I’m not even exaggerating I so very mean it it’s true just LOOK AT THEM VRO SOME OF THEM HAVE PRINTS ON THEM PRINTSSSSSS THEYRE SO OBVIOUS AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE HEAVILY INSPIRED BY MEDIEVAL CLOTHING DAWG I CAN'T DO THIIIIIIIIIIS. Do you think it ends there? NO IT FUCKING DOESNT IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE. If the visual aspects of it were the only thing bad about it i wouldn't be here dumping a textwall but good god merciful above the writing is genuinely enraging. Like its not just personal pet peeves or small stuff level of frustrating, no it’s ENRAGING. Every character is both incredibly arrogant and rude and fucking stupid, yes even the good guys, EXPECIALLY the good guys, actually. The plot is as compelling as one of Jeff Bezos’ shit stained ass hairs and the dialogue is so dogshit and senseless i dont even know how delusional and self centered you have to be to sit down, write that, hear it being acted out and think “ah yes this is a great script”, that goes for the making of the whole series as well.

I won't sit here and explain why exactly it all sucks as i said cuz there’s plenty of youtube videos that do so (sadly some of them are fucking filled with bigotry i want to shoot myself) and i will instead move on to what pisses me of the most.

Some lunatics are actually, seriously saying that RoP has the same vibes as Peter Jackson’s movies.

Yes the same movies that are considered a cinematic masterpiece and classic, the same movies that won awards over awards over awards, the same movies that inspired every single fantasy movie that came after them. I’m well aware they aren’t accurate to the books either, but again, like Castlevania’s first anime, they are GOOD. They are great in fact, and no one can say otherwise without being objectively wrong. That trilogy’s vibes will never ever be reached or equated again, for the very simple reason that art and passion are fucking withering away in today’s world. The costumes for that set of movies were hand manufactured and weathered by the actors themselves CLIMBING UP MOUNTAINS. The weapons used were REAL. REAL, METAL FORGED WEAPONS. VIGGO MORTENSEN ALMOST GOT AN ACTUAL DAGGER THROUGH HIS FACE BECAUSE THE ORC’S ACTOR MISSED. AND YES HE DID BREAK HIS TOE BECAUSE THE HELM HE KICKED WAS REAL, EVERYTHING THAT COULD BE REAL IN THOSE MOVIES WAS. BOOKS, MAPS, EVERYTHING. ALMOST EVERY SCENE OF LANDSCAPES WAS SHOT IN NEW ZEALAND, A REAL PLACE. 

Tolkien hated the idea of someone adapting his works, yet i am certain that if he would have seen the Peter Jackson movies, knowing that they were made out of sincere passion and love for his works and as a tribute to it and him, he would have appreciated them. He certainly is rolling in his grave because of RoP though. It’s not just bad, it's soulless. Completely hollow. Filled to the brim with sfx and fake props, even the musical score composed by the same composer who made the Lotr trilogy’s score just sounds plain, not because it’s bad but because it so clearly belongs to something better than that. RoP wasn’t made out of passion for Lotr it was made for mere profit. One of the directors fucking made fun of a Silmarillion fan who simply asked a question about the goddamn Fëanorian crest, in public, for everyone to see. Those people aren’t Tolkien fans, they're soulless evil corporate pigs, they’re everything Tolkien, and I personally, despised and despise. 

It genuinely makes me so sad that, as badly recieved as it was, many series and movies AND HELL EVEN BOOKS AND GAMES are eerily like RoP these days, the death of art we’re witnessing is soul crushing and concerning.

chat why do i lowkey feel bad for morgoth??? why do i feel bad because him being evilness incarnated could never do good or feel love or be loved?? why do i feel bad because tolkien had to specify that morgoth lied to everyone even himself that he wanted to do good just like the others???
