The Boss’ Son

I often thought about how Ocelot was right there, right in the vicinity of Rokovoj Bereg when we had to kill the Boss. It makes me sad cause one of the last things The Boss talked about was being a mother. According to the MGS3 novel, she knew. I wonder if he's ever missed her.

House of Beor: Part 1

(I rely on Professor Tolkien's descriptions, where it was said that the people of Beor were darker than the rest of the Edain tribes, and that among them there were both very dark and pale ones, such as Morwen. Therefore, please, don’t point your finger at me that I did something wrong, because I only do what is written in the books)

Some thoughts on today’s Silmarillion Daily, and especially the debate of the Edain about whether to stay in Beleriand or not.

Doing some of the research for this, especially of people’s ages and Edain family trees, made me realize things I hadn’t before. First, Bereg and Amlach, the two leaders of the movement to leave Beleriand, are relatively young - 29 and 32 respectively. At any rate, young enough to have been born in Beleriand, which means that they could easily have a rosier view about the safety of the non-Beleriand areas of Middle-earth than people who lived through the journey there. Also ypung enough that they might like to strike out on their own, with followings of their own, rather than remain u der the established chieftains.

And on that latter note, they’re also from younger branches of their houses - they’re not people who can expect to succeed to the chieftainship, so proposing something different from what the current chiefs are doing gives them, again, a chance to gather their own following. Amlach is especially interesting in this respect, if you look at his family tree. He’s the son of the younger brother of Malach Aradan. Now, Malach arrived in Beleriand as a young child, and he embraced it - he went off to live in Hithlum with Fingolfin’s Noldor at age 15 and stayed there until he was 29, and the elves liked him so much they gave him his epessë (Aradan, meaning royal/noble man). And he liked the elves and their culture back - so much so that when he finally came back to east Beleriand where the rest of the Edain were and got married, he convinced his wife Zimrahin (btw, you can immediately see the origins of the Númenorean language in the language of what would become the House of Hador) to translate her name into Sindarin (Meldis).

Now, during all this time that Malach was away in Hithlum, Malach’s younger brother Imlach was still with the rest of the Edain in East Beleriand. And now Malach comes back speaking a foreign language and obsessed with these strange Eldar. On top of that, Imlach’s son Amlach is older than Malach’s son. So it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he raised his son with some strong opinions on about who really should be running things. All that’s prospective - Marach, the father of Malach and Imlach and the one who led their people to Beleriand, is still alive at the time of the big debate. But there’s a lot of space in all that for political fractures.

So Amlach is doing pretty ordinary, typical politics - the Edain splitting into different groups under new leaders with different ideas isn’t unusual. (Hador leaving his father’s people in the Teiglin area and moving his family and followers to Hithlum to align more closely with the Elves there is a later example.) And then this phantom or shapechanger apparently shows up at apublic meeting pretending to be him and says all kinds of crazy stuff about the elves being outright evil and Morgoth not existing. Which - nothing says ‘yes, there’s sonething spooky going on’ like someone who can show up looking and sounding like you when you’re not even there! So in reaction to this old-style deepfake, Amlach decides there’s something bigger going on here than ordinary politics, and he’s not going to be played and taken advantage of in this way, and he’s going to get back at Morgoth for it. But he’s also not going to copycat his uncle and head to Hithlum. So he goes north and joins up with Maedhros.

Camping in winter with a Bereg tent and wood stove

Bereg UP2 It was early winter and the temperature had dropped to below freezing. The trees were laden with snow, their branches bowed and bare, and the landscape was ghostly silent. Peter had just arrived at his favorite camping spot, a secluded lake deep in the forest. He had been here every winter for the past few years, and had made some memories that he would never forget. He quickly…

Counting lines of dialogue in the Silmarillion

A while ago (before I even got on tumblr), for reasons best known to myself procrastinating writing cover letters, I went through the entire published silm and counted up the number of lines of dialogue assigned to each character. Here are the results!

Notes on methodology: Quenta Silmarillion only; characters listed in order of first line of dialogue; dialogue that can be attributed to multiple characters because a whole group was talking/the speaker wasn't identified is omitted; so is dialogue spoken by unnamed characters. Also I may have miscounted slightly because I'm not going back to check this.

Eru: 4 Aulë: 5 Yavanna: 10 Manwë: 9 Tulkas: 2 Mandos: 9 Míriel: 2 Finwë: 2 Melkor: 7 Fingolfin: 4 Fëanor: 13 Ungoliant: 3 Olwë: 1 Maedhros: 6 Fingon: 2 Thingol: 19 Caranthir: 2 Ulmo: 3 Melian: 13 Galadriel: 3 Finrod: 5 Angrod: 2 Turgon: 10 Aredhel: 4 Eöl: 7 Maeglin: 2 Curufin: 5 Bëor: 2 Bereg: 1 "Amlach" (actually someone pretending to be him): 1 Amlach: 1 Haleth: 2 Húrin: 12 Galdor: 1 Sauron: 3 Beren: 11 Lúthien: 4 Celegorm: 2 Edrahil: 1 Draugluin: 1 Huan: 1 Huor: 1 Saeros: 1 Beleg: 9 Túrin: 18 Mîm: 5 Gwindor: 8 Finduilas: 2 Glaurung: 6 Aerin: 1 Brandir: 3 Niënor: 3 Gurthang: 1 Mablung: 1 Thorondor: 1 Morwen: 3 Eärendil: 3 Elwing: 1 Eönwë: 1 Maglor: 4

Some thoughts on this:

Thingol has a solid claim by at least one metric to being the main character of the Silmarillion! No doubt this would annoy literally everyone, including Thingol ("What do you mean it's called the Silmarillion?").

Anyone who features in one of the Great Tales gets a slightly disproportionate amount of dialogue, as expected for the more novelistic style of those chapters.

Lots of divine beings chattering in the early chapters, but they're obviously much quieter once the action moves to Beleriand.

Huan, despite famously speaking three times, only has one line of actual attributed dialogue (the others are reported speech).

Maglor, one of the most popular characters in the silm, is the literal last one to be given a speaking role and he only has four lines of dialogue (all of which are very good lines though. do not come after my boy).

Characters who notably don't get anything to say: Orodreth, Círdan, Tuor, Idril.

On September 5 and 6, 2004, the victims of the Beslan school siege were laid to rest. The terrorist attack was the deadliest in modern Russian history, killing 333 people, including 186 children, and injuring 783. While the authorities’ official investigation is effectively over, the victims’ relatives continue to insist that law enforcement made crucial mistakes that led to dozens of unnecessary deaths. (In 2017, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the Russian authorities had “sufficiently specific information about a planned terrorist attack in the area” several days in advance to take preventive measures but failed to do so, and that they used “indiscriminate and disproportionate” force in their response.) This year marks the 20th anniversary of the attack, and like every year, the Beslan authorities organized a ceremony in memory of the victims — but relatives and survivors were highly skeptical of the event. The independent journalists’ cooperative Bereg traveled to the town to witness the memorial proceedings and speak to survivors and victims’ relatives about their memories from 2004 and their experiences in the two decades since. Meduza shares an abridged translation of their report.
