I'm really dissatisfied with the way he looks. I don't think I captured his likeness at all. But I'm working on Gimli now and the beard is killing me (I chose a high contrast reference so the hair is impossible) and I wanted to post anything. So here he is.
It's a bit funny, really. Him and unfinished Gimli are sitting together on my desk. King of Mirkwood and his son in law. A family reunion;)

'You know what else is around here is Darcy's family's estate.'
Charlotte laughed. 'His estate? Who is he, the king of England?'

high and mighty
go on, go ahead. grab that good book
with those white-knuckle hands.
take it, hold it high above your head.
proclaim His word as your command.
the ink drips down your arms, collects upon your brow.
it fills your eyes with splinters as your virtue, you avow.
judge.
jury.
execute.
eat His flesh and blood,
praise His holy name.
blessed is the one
who puts his own home to flame.
"we are brothers in Him,"
Cain called out to Abel
as he hunted for a stone
and set out for the stables.
grain, chaff, lambs and goats,
forever us and them.
look to your sides, what do you see?
a heathen or a man?
you know not what He meant
when he told you "love each other."
you look down on me, look down on them.
He'd be ashamed, i am ashamed!
go, then. make disciples of all nations.
lash your wicked tongue across all of creation.
go, then! go throw stones around the world.
as they strike you in the head, stoop and find another to hurl!
and when you lay there,
bleeding out on the sand,
may you hear Him.
may you see Him in the hand that reaches for you.
the hand of the judge.
the hand of the jury.
what comes after that, tell me, what did you do after that?
may you know
the mercy you showed to others.
may you know mercy.
may you know mercy.

absolutely wild to me the amount of people that don't understand Andrew's reaction to Ali hitting Aaron. it was not supposed to be an even retaliation, eye for an eye. it was meant to be a lesson. he wasn't asking for a fight, he was shutting it down before it started. the way Andrew grew up (and frankly, the way a lot of real people including me grew up,) you fight for dominance like dogs. what's mine is mine, what's yours is yours, and if you stay away from my shit, I'll stay away from yours. you cross a line, you get put back in your place. you don't fight about it, because that tells the person that as long as they can hold their own, they can get away with it. and that's not what you want. you cannot allow it to happen again, so you can't allow it to be a fight. Andrew even touches on this in the scene:
"A privileged child like you has never seen the real world. Don't speak of it like you understand."
I think it's hard for people who grew up in safe spaces around safe people to understand the kind of cruelty that you have to have to keep yourself safe in situations where someone is trying to hurt you. you don't hit back, you beat the shit out of them until you're sure they won't do it again 🤷♀️
