There's something about Rollo's mother. How you don't see her face until she dies. How all the mothers (who sent their children to die, so they aren't mothers really, how can you be a mother after such betrayal) say 'it's a mercy. You poor boy won't live long, his death can help us now.' There's something about how they are faceless yet their words seal Rollo's fate.

There's something about Rosa. How all the mothers turn on Vash. How she says 'this is for our children, we're sorry, but this is for our children.' How all the mothers are there, they hold guns and run and fight for their town. And when Knives come they meet him on their feet. They scream and you watch as the fear and panic and fight is painted on their faces.

There's something about a mother, who tells her son that death is a good thing, at that he will die for his town, so they'll live.

There's something about a mother who sent her son outside, so he would not bear the guilt of betraying a friend. A mother who fought for her town so her son would have somewhere safe.

LOTR Newsletter – September 17

Today’s entry covers everything from the end of Bilbo’s 111th birthday party (after he leaves), which is also Frodo’s 33rd birthday party, to many years later, when Frodo is 49 years old, in April.

So, what’s been going on (outside the Shire, in particular)?

First: Bilbo’s behaviour before leaving makes Gandalf strongly suspects that his Ring is the One Ring (before that, he had been sometims worried, but unsure). In “The Shadow of the Past,” Gandalf says to Frodo, “He [Bilbo] said and did things then that filled me with a feat that no words of Saruman could allay. I knew at last that something dark and deadly was at work.” At the Council of Elrond, Gandalf says, “Time passed with many cares, until my doubts were awakened again to sudden fear…That was seventeen years ago. Soon I became aware that spies of many sorts, even birds and beasts, were gathered round the Shire, and my fear grew. I called for the help of the Dúnedain, and their watch was doubled; and I opened my heart to Aragorn, the heir of Isildur.”

I find it quite sweet that, while Gandalf acknowledges to Frodo that Bilbo’s behaviour around the Ring on the night of the Party was startling, at the Council of Elrond he obscures the reason (‘my doubts were awakened again’) to avoid alluding to things that could be embarassing to Bilbo in front of a large group of prominent people.

Appendix B confirms that Gandalf’s conversation with Aragorn, and the doubling of the Rangers’ guard on the Shire, happened in the same year as the Party.

Bilbo travels to the Lonely Mountain for a visit, and then settles in Rivendell, as he later tells Frodo: “I got here without much adventure, and after a rest I went on with the Dwarves to Dale: my last journey. I shan’t travel again. Old Balin has gone away. Then I came back here, and here I have been.”

Gandalf and Aragorn look for Gollum over many years without succeess, and Gandalf checks in on Frodo itermittently:

For three years after the Party he [Gandalf] had been away. Then he paid Frodo a brief visit, and after taking a good look at him he went off again. During the next year or two he had turned up fairly often, coming unexpectedly after dusk, and going off without warning before sunrise. He would not discuss his own business and journeys, and seemed chiefly interested in small news about Frodo’s health and doings. Then suddenly his visits had ceased. It was [at the end of today’s reading] over nine years since Frodo had seen or heard of him.

From Gandalf only entering or leaving Bag End after dark, he evidently still fears the Shire is being watched, and does not wat to draw attention to Frodo.

About six years after the Party (about a year before the nine-year-break in Gandalf’s visits to Frodo), Aragorn’s mother Gilraen dies. She has been living among the Dúnedain in Eriador (she left Rivendell a few years after Aragorn fell for Arwen and Elrond told him that she could not marry him until/unless he becomes King of both Gondor and Arnor – in effect, until there was peace and Aragorn had played a substantial role in bringing it about; this suggests to me that things may have been at least a bit uncomfortable between Gilraen and Elrond after that). By the time of Gilraen’s death Aragorn and Arwen’s first meeting is 56 years ago, and they have already been engaged for 27 years

She [Gilraen] seldom saw her son again, for he spent many years in far countries. But on a time, when Aragorn had returned to the North, he came to her, and she said to him before he went:

“This is our last parting, Estel, my son. I am aged by care, even as one of lesser Men; and now that it draws near I cannot face the darkness of our time that gathers upon Middle-earth. I shall leave it soon.”

Aragorn tried to comfort her, saying: “Yet there may be a loght beyond the darkness; and if so, I would have you see it, and be glad.”

But she answered only with this linnod: ‘Onen i-Estel Edain, û-chebin estel anim [I gave Hope to the Dúnediain, I have kept no hope for myself]’

and Aragorn went away heavy of heart. Gilraen died before the next spring.

Over the nine years that Gandalf does not visit Frodo, he and Aragorn continue interrmeittently to search for Gollum. For many years they do not find him, and at some time in these years Gollum enters Mordor and is captured by Sauron. These years are also when even hobbits in The Shire begin to heard dark rmours of outside events.

At some point in the year 3017 (the year before the main events of The Lord of the Rings begin), Gollum is released from Mordor. “The Hunt for the Ring” in Unfinished Tales gives us some dates for the events that follow.

At some point in late 3017 or early 3018, Gandalf departs from his and Aragon’s search for Gollum on the borders of Mordor, and goes to Minas Tirth. As he tells at the Council of Elrond:

“There [on the edges of Mordor] we had rumour of him [Gollum], and we guess that he dwelt there long in the dark hills; but we never found him, and at last I despaired. And in my despair I thought of a test that might make the finding of Gollum unneeded. The ring itself might tell if it were the One.”

He remember’s some if Saurman’s lore about hidden markings on the Ring, and goes to Minas Turith and finds Isildur’s scroll about it, and about the fire-letters.

Not long after Gandalf leaves for Minas Tirith, on February 1st, 3018, Aragorn captures Gollum in the Dead Marshes. Aragorn has an unpleasant journey to Mirkwood with Gollum as captive, lasting fifty days (and covering nearly 900 miles; that’s 18 miles/day, with a hostile captive), and reaches Thranduil on March 21st. Fron Unfinished Tales:

Hoping to escape detection by any of Sauron’s spies he drove Gollum through the north end of the Emyn Muil, and crossed Anduin just above Sarn Gebir. Drifwood was often cast up there on the shoals by the east shore, and binding Gollum to a log he swam across with him, and continued his journey north by tracks as westerly as he could find, through the skirts of Fangorn, and so over Limlight, then over Nimrodel and Silverlode through the eaves of Lórien, and then on. avoiding Moria and Dimrill Dale, over Gladden until he came near the Carrock.

As Gandalf rides north, messengers from Lothlórien tell him that Aragorn has captured Gollum and is bringing him to Thranduil. Gandalf arrives in Mirkwood on March 23rd, and questions him for several days, then leaves in the morning of March 29th, travelling to the Shire as fast as he can. He reaches the Shire the evening of April 12th, right after Sam’s argument with Ted Sandyman at The Green Dragon.

(One other thing I wanted to mention that amused me: apparently in medieval writings the village miller is almost always disliked and antagonistic. Medieval farmers were reliant on the miller to grind their grain to flour, and this left the miller with ample opportunities for overcharging, or for skimming off some of the flour. The Canterbury Tales is one example of a disliked miller character. I found it entertaining that Tolkien carried over this trope in first the Gaffer Gamgee arguing with the elder Sandyman, and then Sam arguing with his son.)

lewis hamilton is interviewed on media day, baku - september 12, 2024 (transcript under the cut)

Ted Kravitz: "Good afternoon." Lewis: "Good afternoon." Kravitz: "I've only got one hit, so if I can ask a two-part question, I wanna know about- Sorry?" Lewis: [laughs] "Pick carefully." Kravitz: "I will. I certainly will. I've been thinking about it quite… Well, I wanna know about you, this weekend. Seems odd nobody's asked you so far. You're looking for a third win in the season. One hopes it could be either here or Singapore, a place you've been succeessful in. What are your chances of that, and the other part of it was, thinking back to… I'm an old man. Thinking back to 2007, had McLaren done that differently in team orders, you could have beaten Kimi to that year's world championship." Lewis: "Yep." Kravitz: "They've now said that they're gonna favor Lando, albeit 63 points behind Max, for this year's world championship. I just thought whether you thought that was too little, too late, or a good idea. But first to your weekend." Lewis: "So we're coming from not the greatest result the last two races. We're working very hard to try… We still have a good car, and I think it's just trying to optimize it. We've never really done a spectacular job here in Azerbaijan, but I think we're asking all the right questions. We're gonna try to really maximize the practice sessions, and definitely hope that we can have a better weekend than we had in the last two. Reverting on some of the changes that we made going into those two weekends, as well, on upgrades, just to try and test which one is right. And then on McLaren, it's my old family and I'm just really happy to see them back up there, and I think it's probably been a long time since they've been in that position so this is all new… newer. I mean, probably most likely all the people that are in the team today are not all the people that were there when I was there, and so even for those, it's the first time that they're having such a competitive car and I think they've been handling it well. And naturally, like everyone that's challenging for wins and for a championship, mistakes will be made. But again, I'm not running the team, so I can't say when or if they should've or shouldn't have… Yeah." Kravitz: "Thank you."

[time jump] Journalist #2: "We're making a focus on the visibility, the vision you have in the car. Can you take us through the evolution of it, and the car, is it changing for the better, you think?" Lewis: "No, visibility is way worse than it ever was, [laughs] at least in my time. We had much smaller cars when I first joined, or we didn't have the halo. The tires were smaller; we didn't have the little hubcap things going over the wheel. So yeah, vsiibility is definitely narrowed down. Also the visors on the helmets are smaller, like the window is smaller than it ever used to be, with safety going up, so yeah." Journalist #2: "So how do you adapt to this?" Lewis: [laughs] "Luckily we've got good eyes, so just you change it… Like seat position, you have to sit a little higher than we did back in the day. Back in the day I used to sit super low, as where now I have to sit a little bit higher to be able to see over those big tires. And you just have to learn to look even further ahead and plan a little bit." [time jump] Journalist #3: "Guess we've had the news this week that Adrian Newey has chosen to go to Aston Martin. He had been rumored to be considering Ferrari. Would working with him have been a nice little tick-off for you in your very illustrious career?" Lewis: "Yeah, I mean, I spoke about it before. I think anyone would wanna work with Adrian and it would have been nice, but it's just one person, and what I'm most excited about is working with a whole team of people that are passionate and not had a huge amount of success, or at least a championship, in a long, long time, and it'd be great to go and join them and try and get on that journey together."

Star Wars men: Headcanons

When they’re jealous

A/N: Soo, I was listening to “No” by Meghan Trainor and this idea came.

T/W: a couple of swear words, nothing too serious

Cassian Andor

When he saw this guy approaching you he literally ran to your side

“Hello, beautiful. Wanna dance?” he asked you and you said you already had a date.

He insisted and before you could reply Cassian did

“Actually, she has a date”

His stare could kill

After the guy left his hand was on your waist, holding you close

“Jealous, are we?” you raised an eyebrow amused.

He, of course, didn’t admit it

Neither left your side for the rest of the night

Din Djarin

The man insisted to buy you a drink even though you’d told him you had a boyfriend

When Din noticed he rushed to your side, one hand on your waist and other on his blaster

The sight of the mandalorian was intimidating enough for him to leave you

Let alone a mandalorian who was ready to shoot any guy who flirted with his girlfriend

When Fennec and Boba teased him about it he didn’t say anything, neither admited that he was jealous

However the hand that was always on your waist or on your shoulder suggested otherwise

And of course made sure to show you later how much better he was than him ;)

Obi-Wan Kenobi

You were on a diplomating mission when a general started flirting with you

Obi-Wan couldn’t help but step in

“I believe we should go, dear” he spoke to you with a tone you’d never heard before.

“And you are?” the general questioned.

“A close friend” he forced a smile and with a protective hand on the small of your back led you out of the room.

“A close friend?” you raised an eyebrow, “Are you jealous?”

“No”

“Be careful, Kenobi. Jealousy is not a good feeling” you teased him more

The following night was interesting

Poe Dameron

You were celebrating a succeessful mission and this guy wouldn’t leave you alone no matter how many times you had sent him no

Of course, Poe noticed

“I am sorry, man but do you want me to spell the word ‘no’ to you?”

“Who the fuck are you?” he grinned.

“Her boyfriend” he replied dead serious.

“Well, you should be here”

Poe couldn’t help the punch he send to the guy’s face, breaking his nose

Not before he had punched him on the cheek.

“How many times have I told you that you have no reason to be jealous?” you sighed as you cleaned the wound.

“Sorry” he muttered like a chilld who had been scolded

“You know that I am yours”

[y-rhywbeth2]

I don't know if Shadowheart's "injury" is supposed to hurt her after the trials (I've never noticed it in other playthroughs) but the way Shar inflicted pain on her after succeeding at the first trial - where I had Astarion cast invisibility on her and Vel cast the longstrider spell to facilitate her succeess... I'm sorry, Shar, do you object to Shadowheart being aided and supported by her companions?

(I mean, you do, of course, but if it wasn't intentional it was still rather fitting.)

[almacambiondaughterofsaleos]

Charlie as vigilante in disguise of teacher very cool. Charlie letting adult bullying a teenager who happen to be a bully. She laugh happily when the teenage bully trying to commit suicide whether succeess or fail she laugh

Ouch that would be too dark. Seriously, dude that would make her too unlikable.

[thegreatyin]

No like I meant they made it way easier. It's a thing so new players don't suffer as much in the Court during MYN. They halved the Inspired requirements for completing major/minor works so you don't spend so much time there

They also made you only need 2 terms of Carnelian to go back to court, almost 75% less Investigating for Watchful MYN, way less action cost for Dangerous gain and you don't need a rare succeess for Shadowy MYN/Wars of illusion anymore

smh. smh. back in my day you had to walk uphill both ways in the snow etc etc

Tena Sorimura/Phantom Solitaire - Deadmount Deathplay

Propaganda:

A criminal/ show man that has for goal to find real magic in this world. Theatrical and always find himself failing his way to succeess somehow, truly fake it till you make it. He once kidnapped the prime minister of Japan, but this one turns out to be perfectly fine and just wake up in a manga Cafe? His first crime was to steal a painting from a museum, only to keep it in pristine condition and leave it in front of a studio in Shinjuku to "give the youtuber there something to talk about". Given that as phantom solitaire, his profession apart from magician/show man IS basically a youtuber (he has a charnel solitaire tv) I find that very funny. I realize I made this propagande more to say why he's cringe than baby girl, but it's because he's a girl failure that he's my cringe fail baby girl

Other Additions:

I love him
