going to chb must be crazy like imagine sharing a camp with

-one of the strongest demigods ever who's saved the world like at least 3 times, fought multiple gods & titans and WON (and is a tartarus survivor)

-the literal main architect of OLYMPUS who's also saved the world multiple times (also tartarus survivor)

-THE lord of the wild who's also close friends with the first two (and has helped save the world multiple times)

-an emo kid from the 1930s who again helped save the world and is also a tartarus survivor (TWICE)

-a son of apollo who survived tartarus with nothing but cargo shorts and sheer will (pun intended)

-the main designer and builder for the argo II, also the first hephaestus kid to have fire powers since hundreds of years ago (did i mention killed gaea? no? yeah he did that too)

-a girl who somehow charmspeak-ed gaea into falling back asleep (also side note daughter of super famous actor because why not)

-pretty much everybody is a two-time war veteran

-THE GOD APOLLO who just sometimes comes down to visit in the form of a teenage boy

-did i mention dionysus, god of wine madness and theatre

-also chiron, trainer of pretty much every greek hero ever

I hate these two fucks 💔

I think cale has a pretty tier list that exists only in his head where he ranks how pretty everyone he meets is and it exists only in his mind. I think God of death is in f rank cuz cale is fueled by hatred (alongside the ranks of people like prince Adin and the white star)

I am of the full opinion that a Silmarillion adaptation of any kind can:

never adapt the whole book

never be a live action feature film or tv series

needs to forget the aesthetics of the lotr movies (as much as we love them)

in comparison. I do think a successful silm adaptation could be

a 2D - NEEDS TO bE 2D - animated film/series

a play (but like a 4 hr Shakespeare epic) - I do think one could get away with a musical but they would have to get super weird with it. HOWEVER it could also totally be an opera or ballet.

a single chapter/storyline of the book

I think the silmarillion is too weird to be a live action anything because movie production ceos are too concerned with marketability. this is where the forgetting of the lotr film aesthetic needs to come in. Lotr worked because they made those designs from scratch (like elves - from like art noveau and shit) rather than a lot of subsequent adaptations which were like "we need it to look consistent with lotr" so it got stale its so tired. go completely different cultural/historical period inspiration start from scratch we get some really cool stuff here on Tumblr.

single plotline - self explanatory. silm is too long and too broad with too many characters for a single adaptation. focus on making 1 good story rather than trying to tell 530200 shitty ones.

the 2d animation/opera/play thing comes in because THOSE MEDIUMS ARE ABLE TO GET WEIRD. They can stretch the limits of believability!!! they can get the weird singing, character vibes perfectly AND have crazy things happen to characters because they have much higher suspensions of disbelief. like u can have someone turn into a bird in a play using practical effects and rather than some poor overworked cgi artist doing an animorphs level job because they aren't paid enough to do a good one, u can have a puppet or a hectic costume. Also u can have hectic wigs please and thank you I want the most hectic devastating wigs for all of the elves (and dwarves). also opera/ballet costumes are so awesome they would do the elves justice.

anyway u got to the end of my silm adaptation fever dream agree or disagree I dont care.

Thinking about punk herstory again...

[psychomusic]

oc time again! + her town & culture (heavily inspired by pre-roman italic populations)

she is suri sauthon. her story is linked to my swtor imperial agent, tar'x, but most of her life except for the one year away where she meets him, is spent in a town in the mountains of mirial.

despite mirial being cold and desert, and many cities developing underground, her town flourishes thanks to a force nexus, venerated in the form of an ancient, sacred, alive crystal. the ecosystem of that mountain depended on what "the horned crystal" was capable of giving them, but mirialans couldn't live off of that alone, so they developed trade and some rudimental technology, even if oftentimes it was bought thanks to the highly profitable trade of a plant used to make medicines that slowed down aging and had overall healing properties.

note: everything that's generated by this nexus has these healing properties BUT they have to be processed, except for those who bathed in the waters of the cavity under the crystal - the "real" nexus, but not the worshipped one. the waters were sacred but they were not thought to be miraculous, unlike the crystal, who instead was thought of as the keystone of the ecosystem: without it, everything would fall apart (and that is partially true: the cavity was the "real" nexus but thanks to the crystal, also strong in the force, the properties were spread all over the mountains). those who bathed in the cavity's waters - so, all of the town, who had a sort of baptism there - could eat the plant, make whatever food with it, and not only that plant, but everything generated by the nexus, that, again, had similar properties. this allowed people to live up to normal life-spans without advanced medicines or, much, really. to those who didn't live there, though, after the processing, had incredible effects, slowing down aging - for those who took it regularly - and making people able to live up to half a century more than the average]

originally, there were four tribes of nomads that lived thanks to horned farm animals that decided to settle down into one bigger town and other smaller settlements, to live off of transhumance. this division of the tribes stayed into the political and social organization: every person belonged to one tribe specifically, and had slightly different rituals and culture. for examples, each tribe had their own priests and healers, with different techniques and traditions. the town, tho, was guided by a group of people in the high priesthood, a position you could reach only by having earned the trust of all tribes. those high priests had many roles: they guided the people into sacred processions common to all the tribes, they managed the trading with outsiders, they did the maintenance of the temple of the summit (the one that functioned as casket to the crystal) and created a special liquid to offer the crystal that helps it grow.

this particular temple was important because 1. it was very visible, from every angle of the town, and it became an important identity symbol; 2. it stored the venerated horned crystal; 3. it had the altar where sacrifices were made for the crystals. that altar had a hole connected to the cavity, that allowed the liquids to reach the underground; 4. it had various symbols: statues representing each tribe + the high priesthood, and typical mirialan tattoos carved into the wood of the trees that served as columns for the temple, symbolizing 8 values that who dared to enter HAD to have; 5. it was on the way to an important lake (called "mother lake" because the lake the town was built around to depended on the waters of that other lake) where they traveled to in important processions; 6. it was said that a the wizard who unified the tribes made it with its magic, making the plant grow to hold the temple's roof. this wizard was, actually, a force user, obv.

BACK TO HER THOUGH: she's daughter of one of the high priests, who was in charge of managing the trades with outsiders, and lives in a house on the mountains with her mother and him. her parents are from different tribes (that's one of the things that earned him trust from the 4 tribes): when a child is born from two different tribes, they don't pick one to allign to, but they're usually linked automatically to the one with more relatives in it (in her case, the father's tribe: she had many uncles and aunts on his side while her mom only had one sister).

later, though, she got quite tied to her mother's tribe due to a mysterious illness that only her mother's tribe healer was able to cure. she spent 4 years (from 10 to 14 years old) living with the healer and learned her secrets. to better study, she wrote them down. when she returned home, she studied to become a priestess with her father. at 22 (the average age: you can't become priest before your 20s), she was supposed to take a test and become a priestess, but the healer of her mother's tribe died and the tribe asked her to take her place. she couldn't technically do that, but both tribes estimated both her and her parents and she was allowed to become both. she then decided to try to become a high priestess, and became one at 25 (a quite young age). being part of the council, she tried to convince the various tribe healers to unite their knowledges and write them down, and eventually made it. healers still remained tribe based but they now had an "upper, inter-tribe level" similar to high priesthood.

years later, the sacred horned crystal is stolen from the temple by some Hutt mercenaries looking for a profit. given the trust she has earned from all the tribes and the fact that her father is the high priest that deals with outsiders (and she's been hearing stories and advice about it since she was little), she is the one tasked with getting it back. without the growing crystal, the keystone to their ecosystem, the village would have lasted only a few years. in hrr quest, she meets imperial intelligence agent tar'x laran and, as they "solve the mystery" and fight to have it back, they get closer. they'll get married and have a daughter, Vegoia (who's the only one who actually will get to the plot of my story. this was all background)

im not going to lie i have an illuminati type theory that fanfiction has gotten so fucking bad recently as yet another consequence of the pandemic

[lunarrosette]

I don’t think I’ve made a proper post but I need more ppl to join in my misery but Glenn can never reunite with his universe’s Morgan

Cause the thing abt the universe swap is that every universe has their own afterlives so the Morgan that Glenn fell in love with originally does not exist in anyway in the world Glenn is in not in life or in death and the Morgan here (while likely living the same life up to to moment she met Glenn in the original timeline) is still a different person

All I’m saying is imagine finding out that the afterlife is real but knowing that you can never seen one of the only people you’ve ever loved in death because they don’t exist in this world anymore

[ignus-moth]

i'm tired of being scared to enter fandoms with aro/ace character. i don't know if they'll respect my identity or not. i dont know if my identity will be scrutinized and disregarded on a large scale. i dont know if it'll be dismissed because part of my identity is apparently "too hard to write" or "boring". please. i don't want to be put in the closet to enjoy a fandom.

maybe i am "ruining your fun". but maybe you should also look at whether "your fun" is hurting people.
