Prompt 178

So first of all he’d like to say it wasn’t his fault. He wasn’t into magic stuff, that was all Billy’s schtick. So really, it is not Victor’s fault that he accidentally activates some sort of sigil and suddenly ends up with a very confused looking child. 

A young girl, maybe four or five, with bright red eyes, slightly pointed ears, and what looks to be some sort of living suit partially fused with her body. Alright, okay, he doesn’t have to freak out, he’ll just… call one of the Justice League Dark members and get her a spare shirt or something to wear until they come to the Watchtower!

It’s fine, he’s fine. He’s not having memories to when he first got melded with all of this tech that’s now a part of him and feeling sick at the idea of it happening to a child. 

He’s not fine.

I know the Lumity kiss is old news, but I sometimes feel like I never processed it properly, because...

Look at Amity. She missed her awesome girlfriend SO MUCH. She's so happy that the girl who changed her life for the better is safe after so much time of not being able to talk to her. All of her social inhibitors are turned off because she's holding Luz's face in her tiny little hands and she can't stop smiling.

And LUZ. Poor traumatized, touch-starved Luz is so VULNERABLE with Amity here. She's not smiling. Her eyebrows are raised and her eyes are shining. A lot of emotions are overcoming her and as we see in Thanks to Them she couldn't express them to Amity verbally. But HERE, just for a moment, her guard is totally down, because her awesome girlfriend is holding her face in her tiny little hands and smiling at her like she's the most precious thing in the world.

Whew. Okay. Fully processed. Finally.

Finally remembered to post my lnwtd/jack delroy playlists PLEASE LOOK AT THEM TY

The first one is like only 70s (and behind) songs that I think either fit the general movie, night owls, or Jack

The second one is like everything else that mostly just fits Jack, so a lot of eerie stuff, I killed my girlfriend songs, lots of descent into madness kind of songs IDK ITS HARD TO DESCRIBE IT BUT ITS ALL BASED ON VIBES AND WHAT I THINK OF JACK AS A CHARACTER OK BYE

It isn't lost on me how the 3 most sadistic, deranged, and excited Ghostface killers (Stu, Amber, and Ethan) are the 3 whom the fandom babies the most and insist they were pressured or manipulated by their male partner. 🙄

I think it's interesting that Elladan's and Elrohir's names, which have individualized meanings, but are both also translated as "Elf+Man," could refer only to Elrond's heritage. He is described as great among both Elves and Men—quite literally Elf and Man. Aragorn calls him "the eldest of all our race."

But it doesn't have to refer to that alone. The "El-" (star/Elf) could also refer to Celebrían, who has no mortal ancestry or known affiliations with Men beyond Elrond himself. But it also carries on the naming tradition of the line of Lúthien from Elrond's mother, which he seems to emphasize in his description of his origins in LOTR.

Whatever the case, it's important to one or both of them to acknowledge Elrond's mortal ancestry and kinship, regardless of their sons' unknown choices of fates or exact quantities of mortal heritage.

I've mentioned it before, but the rohir in Elrohir refers to Men according to Tolkien, and is translated as "knight." But as he points out, it's the same rohir as in Rohirrim, horse-lords, in the later Númenórean or Gondorian form (Elvish Sindarin would be rochir/Elrochir). And the old Númenóreans were known for their great love of horses and riding, so it makes a certain sense that rohir is used specifically of mortal horse-lords/knights.

(I'm trying to remember if Tolkien ever refers to knights other than the knights of Dol Amroth, actually, who are in service to the part-Elvish princes of Dol Amroth. An interesting coincidence!)

Tolkien also translates the adan in Elladan as a more specific term than Man: it's not even just the singular of Edain, as in the Silm, but translated as Númenórean. We don't know when this shift in meaning happened, or if it would have meant that in some areas but not others, but it's doubly intriguing because Númenor fell before Elladan was even born. He never set foot on it. He is only Númenórean in essentially the same way that Dúnedain are Númenórean—at a remove, through heredity, just via Elrond instead of Elros.

And it's interesting as well that Elrohir and Elladan, whose names so scrupulously include Númenórean and Elvish associations, are mainly characterized through 1) association with the Dúnedain of the North and 2) spending centuries trying to avenge their Elven mother's suffering. So the names seem reflected by their actual lives and motivations.

We know that after Elrond leaves, Elladan and Elrohir delay choosing which kindreds to be counted among, which I think also reinforces the sense of them belonging to both. Fandom tends to prefer sending them to Valinor, and there are some strong reasons for them to go. That makes it all the more intriguing that they delay, that the choice is difficult, that we never actually find out what they chose in the end or if they even made the same choice.

Even though we don't know that much about them, that final ambiguity seems very fitting to me.
