#you are far too nice; mercy has a price; guess the pack of wolves is swimming with a shark now

[that-angry-noldo]

Just wanna say I love the way you write Eonwe. I am so used to him being written like a clown; always on the receiving end of disrespect and portrayed to be dumb af that when I stumbled on your fic (the one where Finarfin was kidnapped), it was such a breath of fresh air because he is portrayed as a competent leader and a terrifying eldritch dude (that scares the elves) and with dignity. Amazing, kudos to you and your brilliant mind babe.

thank you so much anon! i'm sorry it took me so long to answer <3 i'm glad you like my portrayal of eönwë. i think the fandom at large overlooks his canon characterisation: he is the lord of the maiar, he is a warrior (the strongest of arda iirc), he is a war leader, and he is also knowledgable and respected, as his stay in Numenor indicates. let him be all these things! let him be competent! let him be smart! let him be scary! if the istari were powerful, imagine how terrifying their lord must be.

i am also glad you are enjoying ashes! ashes eönwë is my favorite eldritch guy i can't wait to write more of him

It's really cool when writers have playlists for their fics cause then you see what fits woth the story and all. Fake it till you make it is the first of your fics I read and it's one of my favorites so it's nice to see that playlist.

I've never heard reckless driving before but it's really good. Like "guess I'd die to keep your eyes on me"? For wenclair? Breathtaking honestly. I've only heard one other song by this artist and theyre making me a fan of hers. The song is Hate to be lame in case you're interested.

And epic omg I first heard about it late 2021/early 2022 and I've been obsessed since. I've waited so long that I'm kinda sad it'll be over soon. Just a man is one of the best songs from epic. All the edits to it are so good they hurt. Ruthlessness has to be my favorite though cause that's where it finally hits them how screwed they are.

I'm left without a choice and without a doubt

Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now

I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown

And

You are far too nice, mercy has a price

It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now

You reveal your name, then you let him live

Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

These lyrics are golden. Different beast is up there for me too. Do you have a favorite song or saga?

I know it's a lot, my bad, but in my defense wenclair and epic are my hyperfixations and together is even better.

I feel that having a playlist, even if I don't always listen to it when I'm writing, it really helps get me into the headspace of the story. Fake it is the first popular fic that people have read of mine, which is totally fair since my earlier stuff wasn't that great. And I'm glad that you enjoyed the playlist I put together for it.

Reckless driving was something I literally listened to on repeat for MONTHS because it was what gave the good creative juices for writing, and the beat was great as well when the lyrics just faded into the background in my braid. The lyrics also hit really hard too, so I totally get your reaction to them. I haven't heard the song you're talking about, but Ceilings was also a song I listened to on repeat for a similar reason.

Now to Epic. I found it mid to late last year I think. Back when the Cyclops saga was the most recent one out. All of the edits and animatics were so incredible as well, adding different things to the songs and elevating them in different ways too. Ruthless is an incredible song too. It's the first time that Odysseus has some really harsh consequences and it hardens him in general (apart from Polities' death). And yeah, you get to feel how badly he's messed up too. I also remember how incredible the goosebumps were when that scrapped song was going around 'Get in the water'. It was so intense.

You're totally fine. I like your enthusiasm. I just spent several hours making a video of about 3 years worth of artworks I've done for Wenclair to my recent stuff. Hopefully I get inspired into making more artworks to hopefully finish the song I have behind it.

Ruthlessness

Contest: Gabriel had injured Bastion's mother and he was akumazited over that. They are at a party in a boat

Bastion/Ame-Baka, Adrien/ Chat Noir,

In all my years of living

It isn't very often that I get pissed off

I try to chill with the waves

But damn, you crossed the line

I've been so gracious

And yet, you hurt this mom of mine

That's right, the woman you made blind, is mine

No

I'm left without a choice and without a doubt

Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now

I've gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown

But before you go, I need to make you learn how

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

Ourselves

You are the worst kind of man 'cause you're not even great

Some punk who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate

'Cause you act like you're right, but kill and ruin lives to get the job done

I mean, you totally could have other ways to get what you want without bloodshed , simple and done.

But no

(To the quarter)

You are far too nice, mercy has a price

It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now

You know something was wrong, then you let him live

Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

(Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves)

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

Ourselves

And now it is finally time to say goodbye, today you die

Unless, of course, you apologize

For my mom's pain and all her cries

Bastion, He meant no harm

He only hurt him to disarm her

He took no pleasure in her pain

I'm sure if you allow him to explain

(He looks at his father only for Gabriel to not show any regret)

The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible

So close your heart, the world is dark and

Ruthlessness is mercy

Die

Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)

Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)

Ruthlessness is mercy upon our- (Captain, Captain)

Ruthlessness is -

What have you done?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

「 ✦ Ruthlessness ✦ 」

“In all my years of living, it isn’t very often that I get pissed off.” The voice spoke smoothly, Jaxon looking down at hearing the voice. Small jewels jingled, arms crossed behind the back of the new figure. But the snake couldn’t look the newcomer in the eye, avoiding it. “I’m left without a choice and without a doubt…”

They walked near Jaxon, seeing the way their head bowed. Their hand trailed over his chin, lifting up his chin. Enchanting eyes staring at him, “Guess the pack of wolves is swimming with the shark now.”

“Please-“

“I’ve gotta make you bleed, I need to see you drown.” Jaxson’s eyes widened, his breathing picking up in a panicked pace. Their soft hands tightened their grip ever so slightly, enchanting mint eyes seeming to glimmer in the low sunset. “But… before you go, I need to make you learn how ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.”

“Please…” Jaxon begged with a whisper, tears glossing his eyes beginning to turn neon yellow. Their hands letting go of Jaxon’s chin, watching the snake seem to curl in on theirselves. Their scales moving as they hugged themselves.

“You are the worst kind of good! Cause you’re not even great. A snake who reeks of false righteousness, that’s what I hate. Cause you fight to save lives, but won’t kill and don’t get the job done. I mean you could have avoided all this! Had… you just killed my son, but no.” Their fist clenched with rolling their eyes, letting out a sigh while letting their hand drop. “I had to be the one to clean up your mess, do you know how hard it was to take his life?”

“B-but I didn’t want to hurt him! I only did that to get away! I meant no harm, only to disarm…”

“You are far too nice! Mercy has a price! You reveal your name, then you left him live??? Unlike you I have no mercy left to give cause ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves.” Jaxon flinched, the dark whips wrapping around him protectively. Neon yellow tears slipping down his cheeks as he lowered his body more, their eyes narrowed as they watched Jaxon cowered.

Their hands lifted, magic slipping between their fingertips as Jaxon quickly grew affected by their magic. Their voice seeming to have a ring to it, “The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible. So close your heart, the world is dark.”
