would the echoriad not limit the daylight in gondolin? like in winter the sun rises at 8 and sets at 4 but now it has to peek over the mountains first. gondolin daylight hours 10-2???

Bernard Hill - Théoden King.

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?

They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;

The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.

Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

So I did a thing ... I made a collection on AO3 that anyone can add to. The idea is to gather a collection of TMA style statements but based in Echor and eventually maybe I'll get round to reading them podfic style but life is busy so who knows

[dnfao3tags]

for the god x god fic, it could also be "we are forever, you and i" by echoric i think? but this one is not modern setting (https://archiveofourown.org/works/37603864)

could be!

— we are forever, you and i by echoric (gen | comp. | 17k)

“George -” “Dream-” They stopped, making eye contact and smiling awkwardly. Dream gestured for George to speak first. He turned to face Dream fully, pulling his feet up so he was sitting on them, “Dream, what is going to happen at the festival in five days? What are you so angry at the gods for? I feel like there’s a connection.”

It's been a year (I think)

I've been publicly unhinged about Night Shift for a year... 12 months of shameless posting about this podcast ... 52 weeks ... 365 days ... 583 posts (and counting)

So

any ideas on how I should celebrate?

don’t think i can call it a hyperfixation anymore fam im afraid im just long term insane about this piece of media

“In contrast to the film, the book shows Faramir and Denethor’s handling of the battle as nothing short of a masterful execution of defense in depth. At each stage, the army of Mordor is forced to sustain casualties and disorder to surmount one set of defenses, only to be presented with fresh defenses and troops. At the end of it, Denethor’s sortie shatters Mordor’s vanguard and buys the escape of Faramir’s force.”

If you’re not aware of Bret Devereaux’s analysis of Tolkien’s battles through the eyes of a military historian, go read his stuff, it’s amazing!

One thing that drives me insane about Peter Jackson’s interpretation of Return of the King is his decision to film TWO battles for Osgiliath when there was only one in the book.

“They had to make changes because of time constraints.” NOPE. Not buying it.

In the book, Denethor sends Faramir to Osgiliath and there is a big, exciting battle. In the movie, Faramir fights a wimpier, less exciting version of this battle, retreats, and then gets sent BACK to Osgiliath on a completely pointless suicide mission.

These two scenes could have been consolidated into one big action sequence! It could have been really cool!

Again, here is what happens in the book:

Faramir and Denethor have their messy, emotional confrontation during a war council with all the captains watching.

Faramir goes to defend Osgiliath, which is still held by Gondor, and Mordor’s forces cross the river in boats. Faramir fights them and then retreats.

Faramir stops when he reaches the Ramas Echor (the huge outer defense wall) and fights AGAIN, using the wall as a defensible point.

The orcs use explosives to blast through the wall at multiple points. Faramir retreats again.

Faramir does a splendid job of holding his men together and keeping them from panicking. Most of them march on foot towards the city, while Faramir rides behind them with a small group of cavalry.

Enemy horsemen chase and attack them, aided by the Nazgûl. It looks like the Gondorians are going to get slaughtered.

But wait! Denethor FINALLY unleashes the rest of his cavalry from the city. The enemy has been lured into a trap. Gandalf and Imrahil lead the charge and CRUSH Mordor’s forces.

Faramir is fighting a mounted champion of Harad when he is hit by an arrow. Gondor’s cavalry arrives just in time to keep the Haradrim from killing him. Imrahil rescues Faramir and carries him back to the city.

So yeah, this is a dynamic battle with lots of movement and changes of fortune. It’s got explosions! and chase scenes! and Nazgûl! and cavalry charges! and a cool boss fight! Some might call it… cinematic. I will forever be pissed that I never got to see Faramir fall off his horse melodramatically in mid-combat with a badass Haradrim warrior.

Normally PJ jumps at the chance to do an over-the-top action sequence. So it’s quite egregious that he downgraded this battle so much. Was he starting to run out of time and money at this point? Or was it deliberately sacrificed, so that Denethor could be more stupid and evil?

Also, the EMOTIONS of this battle! Denethor’s anxiety as he waits for Faramir to return, bitterly regretting the last words he said to his son. The tension as he waits for the perfect moment to send in the cavalry, pitting military necessity against his son’s life. Faramir’s pain and exhaustion and bitter determination and the loyalty of his men! The way Denethor and Faramir pull off the battle but ruin their relationship forever! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

*slides cookies across to NS team* Go ooon, I'm listening 👀

May I ask whether yous have a favourite piece of non-plot relate lore? and what it is? 🌸

I almost missed this ask entirely! I think it's been here for a while and I'm so sorry.

My favourite piece of non-plot related lore is probably that the Augur Corporation is 200 years old, and started life as a mining company in the Echor Mountains, mining for arcane spell components.

When the Quell came and magic ceased to work in the same way, the world crawled towards something like an apocalypse – imagine nearly all industry running to a standstill at the same time - but the founders of Augur had discovered a new element in their component mines that turned out to be an efficient power source. They might be a greedy mega-corporation in the modern age with fingers in every pie and some questionable scientific ethics, but without Augur, there wouldn't be a much of a world at all.

I love love loveee. One day I'd love to write a story about the Quell era and the founding of Augur.

OC AU doodle I had too much fun with... she's fine btw; a bit of possession never hurt anyone!

- the glyph font is taken from crystaluranium in the RW Official Discord, which references a tumblr post by ikayblythe

+ textless under the cut

since ur here I'll also explain it a bit more...

obviously SLS is echorator in this AU. Her close connection with the Void Sea due to this makes her a frequent target for channeling various entities, willingly or not

some sort of entity? force of nature? will? idk. it's called The Will Of The Void, I guess

and it wants to enforce that cycles remain perpetuated even as timelines are reset or branch out or etc. More specifically in this case it is trying to enforce that specific individuals who became echoes in another timeline shall become echoes once again in this one

and thus SLS can either help willingly or be puppeted against her will, yay! 👍

the idea sprang into my head last night in the shower lol

WIP of outlaw mav & goose based on the sweet by and by by echoric because im insanely cowboypilled atm

[green-eyes-and-orange-ties]

I have like 55 draft posts ... but like ... should I make a CV for an Echor OC as though they're applying to work at Night Shift coffee?

[green-eyes-and-orange-ties]

Night Shift Beans lets go!!

You know, outside of a handful for TMA, I've not seen many OCs for fiction podcasts.

So, if you out there have any, I'd be very curious to hear about them. And if you don't, which podcasts have tempted you?

It is the end of Whumptober, so to celebrate I wrote 4k+ words of married IceMav during the Top Gun Maverick mission <3

Summary:

He heard footsteps behind him, but didn’t bother with opening his eyes or standing up straight. There was no need. Ice knew who it was without looking, he would be able to pick out those footsteps in a crowd of a million. Hands landed on his waist with a firm but familiar touch, sending a warm, grounding sensation through him. He smiled softly to himself, then opened his eyes to see the ocean gleaming under the sun. “Hello, sweetheart,” he murmured, daring to break the silence of the ocean. “Hi, Ice.”   aka a married icemav top gun maverick au <3 Whumptober Day 31!
