put morton’s fork on repeat because unfortunately it’s my pavlovian conditioning editing music but it got tangled up in the silmarillion brain worms and now i’m like. morton’s fork maedhros animatic
#something something the inevitability of trying to save the people you love from their doom something something all roads eventually leading#to the same fate#something something the cut from 'i thought we lived forever / a simple obstacle in the way' to 'turns out we are shit out of luck'#something something and the sun will explode but not before you and everyone that you'll ever know will be gone long ago#i can like. feel the thesis of this amv just right outside of my field of vision i am turning it around and around in my head like an apple#the first verse 'i told you ma i'd keep you safe when the sun expands to consume our house in flames'#and shots of the two trees dying / maedhros and his brothers running through formenos to find their grandfather's body#in the wake of melkor's destruction#to the last verse 'i haven't slept in several nights but i'm not tired / who protects the ones i love when i'm asleep'#cut to shots of elwing running through sirion holding the silmaril in the wake of the third kinslaying#'though there's little i can do i say a prayer that when the wolves come for their share they'll come for me' cut to her being cornered by#maedhros on the cliff and stepping off the edge and falling into the sea#the oath twisting your intentions until no matter what choices you make it leads you to become the villain of someone else's story in#the end#oh wait actually. im realizing that the final argument between maedhros and maglor is also a morton's fork. either we turn ourselves in and#forfeit the oath or we follow the oath and die but either way we damn ourselves#..........morton's fork amv just of that argument and the final attempt to get the silmarils......wait a minute.
