New Film Submissions

Sweet Country (2017) dir. Warwick Thornton

based upon a true story where a white man is murdered as an act of self-defense. It’s an Australian Western that explores colonial oppression, racism, and sexism and is told through an Aboriginal lens

In My Blood It Runs (2019) dir. Maya Newell

A documentary about a young Arrernte boy, Dujuan Hoosan. It depicts the ongoing systematic oppression of Aboriginal Australians and the fear of child removal and child incarnation and explores the struggle of growing up in between two cultures (in this specific case Arrernte and the colonial power of white Australia) as Dujuan is a child healer and a hunter who speaks three languages and is taking upon the traditional roles in his community but he doesn’t meet the expectations of white western schooling

Samson and Delilah (2009) dir. Warwick Thornton

Fourteen-year-old Aboriginal kids Samson and Delilah hail from an isolated community in the Central Australian desert, where - for Samson - sniffing petrol is one of the few available ways of escaping the suffocating grimness of daily life. After a persistent campaign to gain Delilah's affection, Samson steals the community's sole motor car and persuades her to elope with him to Alice Springs.

[akajustmerry]

thank you for the review of nightingale, though i’m sorry you had to experience it at all... it sounds truly horrific... i liked babadook so i probably would have gone to see it if you didn’t warn me off. i’ll definitely check out sweet country.

thank u! i appreciate the solidarity! glad i could save at least one more person from seeing such a gross disrespectful film too. fair warning sweet country is a film dealing with a lot of the same themes of historical colonial racism, but it does so in a far more critical sympathetic manner toward Aboriginal people. samson and delilah (2009) and rabbit-proof fence (2002) also deal with similar themes quite respectfully if you want a happier uplifting fun film about indigenous ppl, i recommend top end wedding (2019), black comedy (tv series), or the sapphires (2012)

Hi, I just wanted to say that your OC, Zafirah, is so cool and unique! What was your inspiration for her?

@fantasyworlds1234 Aaaaaaaaa, thank youuuuu :D Oh man, that was a long time ago, LOL, let’s see here.

Back in like 2009, I had wanted to write a fanfic about the adventures of Earth King Kuei during Book 3, when he’s traveling in disguise. Because, like, this dude’s like 25 and has never been outside the palace and his only companion is a grizzly bear, and that’s just inherently hilarious and also a great premise for a story.

So I wanted him to have some wild adventures, and I decided he should have some friends along for the ride. And I also wanted to give him a love interest because I am a sucker for a good love story. But I didn’t want to have a Generic Love Interest who only exists for the purpose of Being The Love Interest. I wanted her to be a solid character with drive and purpose and personality. I wanted her to feel like a character that would really and truly belong in the Avatar universe. I wanted an OC that would feel to the reader like she could’ve just as easily been a canon character.

And this is gonna sound super pretentious, but I got the inspiration for Zafirah from a classical music piece, “Bacchanale” from Samson and Delilah, by Camille Saint-Saens. The piece has a kind of Arabian Nights vibe, and I imagined Kuei going to the desert and meeting this snarky, tough-as-nails Sandbender. I also got a lot of inspiration from Disney’s Aladdin (but with the genders swapped, LOL), which has always been one of my faves. Zafirah basically just took shape in my head from that concept, and it worked out well for them to be narrative foils, balancing each other out while also bringing out positive but hidden traits in both of them. It was also important to me that Zafirah be her own character, able to carry her side of the narrative with or without the presence of Kuei in any given scene. And I feel like she turned out pretty darn good :3

Long ass “what if Aragorn and crew were hipsters” modern au headcanons

@loyalservants​ - since you’d asked to see :)

Under a cut because there’s.. a lot. Also there’s a bit of canon breaking here but what’s a good au without a bit of canon breaking?

Elrond works as head doctor at the local trauma clinic. Having been alive as long as he has he's amassed quite a fortune which he uses to cover the cost of medical care for those who can't afford it himself.

He returned to Middle Earth when word reached him that Aragorn had passed on but his daughter hadn’t. It killed him to leave his wife a second time but, not knowing the fate of his sons, he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her alone so he pleaded to be allowed to go back and join her and was eventually granted permission on the condition that if he or any others who inevitably follow suit do they will never be able to return. 

Celebrían eventually rejoins her husband and children on December 24th 2008 (modern calendar). In March of 2009 she contacted her parents, with a bit of help from her children, via text pretending to be Arwen. She wasn’t even able to get a simple “hello” out before she was pulled into a tear filled bear hug

Galadriel is a self defense course instructor at the Y and a very active environmental activist and human rights activist because for the love of Eru she’s way too old for your shenanigans humanity and someone has to fix it. humans are cute but by the valar are they dumb. Galadriel is still very much someone nobody wants to f*ck with and those stupid enough to still try anyway end up regretting it dearly. Rule #1 of telepaths: don’t piss off a telepath.

Her husband is a historian and has long since worked with his colleagues to help preserve Elven heritage sites.

Legolas looks wise looks like what would happen if you shoved him and Skrillex in a blender and put it on “puree” and already has a degree as a veterinarian (specializing in exotics) and is a biology and environmental studies dual major.

 Aragorn is a history major and is starting to get the memories of his past life back though he keeps this quiet because he rather enjoys his classes.

Gimli is dual majoring engineering and economics, Pippin and Merry are general studies majors and honestly have no idea what they’re doing half the time but hey at least they’re having fun doing it!

Arwyn, as she spells it in modern day to try and stay lower key, works at a tattoo parlor and has a total Kat Von D look going on which drives her dad up the wall.

Sam and Frodo are ex marines that were on the same squad (only survivors after an IED went off) they are roomies they were honorably discharged and earned a purple heart. Sam is blind in his left eye and Frodo was paralyzed from the waist down both suffer from PTSD. They've got two labs named Samson and Delilah who think they are lap dogs. Samson is a service dog washout (he was supposed to be Sam's dog but he just didn't have the right drive for it) and Delilah is Frodo's service dog. Currently Sam is looking for new candidates. In this AU Frodo died at mount doom so I can have him reincarnate with Sam since there was no way in hell Frodo would come back to middle earth after the sh*t he went through.

Legolas has a blind albino reticulated python named Lucy who was a rescue from a mass breeder. She's a bit off in more ways than one but is as sweet a noodle as possible Legolas often takes in special needs herps that his rescue can't home for various reasons 

Gandalf is the history professor and has become resigned to the fact that humans are dumb af and kind of need perpetual babysitting (races and magic and shit have remained unchanged just because it's more fun that way)

Thranduil is tough as nails and gives 0 fucks. if something needs done to keep those in his territory safe he will do it regardless of legality Cops don't bother coming because it's a cesspool and they've got less taxing things to do He's kind of a mob boss archetype but good and does good well except when he kicks some faces in but they always deserve it. He’s kind of the head of his own lil section of an as of yet unnamed city. He's not like crime or mob boss so much as "police don't do sh*t so we keep the peace instead". Police are happy to do so because the area is basically Gotham crime wise and nobody wants to touch it with a 40 ft pole I love the idea that Thranduil ended up blinded after his run in with Smaug he ended up staying in middle earth the entire time god bless his poor soul. In modern era he ran into a gangster with a fondness for flame throwers and got toasty again. Received extensive burns but survived because 1 Thranduil, and 2 like hell he was gonna die now when sh!t still needs to be kept in order.

Elves did sail to the west but it was less going back home and more "FUCK THIS SHIT I'M OUT" Eventually they come back and first land in ireland becoming the basis of the Tuatha Dé Danann Because I will die on the hill that elves are somehow involved with celtic mythology in the universe of LOTR and yes I know it's not earth but come on The geography actually kind of matches ...no I did not have an embarassing phase where I was way too obsessed with LOTR and calculated this stuff for funsies

I'm also super fond for immortals watching throughout history and just going "why did I do this again?" Also Elrond getting even more done with humanity gives me life

Merry is addicted to idle games and half the storage space on his phone is filled with them. 

Pippin has won a few Pokemon tournaments and even got a scholarship from one of them. He enjoys building teams from "useless" Pokemon and wiping the floor with them. His favorite pokemon to use is Pachirisu because no one expects to have their ass handed to them by a pika clone.

In this AU Aragorn is reincarnated over and over and over again and Arwen somehow manages to find him each time. Sometimes they’re lovers other times they’re just friends and every once in a while she’ll only manage to briefly brush past him before he’s gone again. Her father tried to convince her to go be with her mother but she found that even the short amount of time she got to spend with her love each time was worth the sorrow of losing him again, and again, and again.

Elrond and Celebrían renewed their vows in 2015 after learning of the practice and finding it fitting. Their first dance was to Like I’m Gonna Lose You
