Okay, so the new design choices for Shen are bothering me. Like, I know it's Her impersonating him, but I don't like how fluffy they made him. It's messy to look at, and part of his character is metal.

Like, he was supposed to look cold and sleek, like metal. Because it makes him look more lethal, and sharp. (Like a stabby weapon.) But metal is also kind of his element.

I don't know, but to me the changes make him look less regal and imposing, and more... frumpy?

Okay so I get people being like "oh it's nice of the Tolkien estate to protect Tolkien's rights" but also you guys do realize part of why rings of power has so many flaws is because they weren't sold much of the rights, and the Tolkien estate has a habit of suing people, right? Like the silmarillion rights aren't up for sale. Which boggles my mind because they were out shopping for a buyer but Christopher literally only sold a timeline to Amazon for $250million. Amazon is working with a skeleton. This skeleton to be exact:

They seem to have bought maybe a little of the first age or perhaps the trademarks to certain names (that's another thing, a lot of the names that Tolkien wrote are trademarked by the estate so they can't even be used without explicit permission and royalties)

In short, yes they're protecting his books. But part of protection, in my opinion, is giving enough rights to make a really good adaptation. Like they went shopping for someone to buy the rights, aaand then sold them that. I'm sorry I'm actually a tiny bit peeved because what on earth was anyone supposed to do with that? Oh by the way if you didn't notice there's no Celeborn and there's no Celebrian, y'know the two we've been complaining about this last season. They probably bought rights to use his name, which is likely trademarked hence why they only say it once. So yeah. I'm done now.

Ahh, and so "The Tithes" takes its side in the most important ongoing Culture War in Warhammer...

Should custodians of the Emperor's Chosen - the baseline classic color scheme - have red on their pauldrons?

"The Tithes", along with all three existing codex covers and many pieces of key official art, as well as the color scheme presented on the Adeptus Custodes miniature boxes says that no! They shouldn't!

They are all, however, wrong!

Because just as many pieces of official art within codex illustrations and - most importantly - the official presentation of the Emperor's Chosen color scheme have it as red!

And why wouldn't it be red?! The space is so clearly meant to carry the host's colors - why would it be left blank and worse looking? Why would the very clear intent of the miniature designers be so eagerly scorned? Why would GW so callously ruin its own creation? Why would Tyrith Shiva Kyrus betray me personally?

And so I say it shan't be so! The source material is extremely clear - despite its numerous omissions and contradictions, often within the same picture - the pauldron shall be red and red shall be its underlying color! All else is but lies and falsehoods, destined to be cast down under the blinding light of truth (not reflected off the brazenly unpainted pauldrons)!

star wars by silm logic

for the silm-sw dual citizens:

I was wondering what would happen if star wars (particularly tbb bc that's the currently-releasing bit of star wars) adhered to silm logic:

Hunter is the local leader of a hidden city (Pabu)

Omega is the heir

Rex is the overall leader of a warring people (clone rebellion)

Hemlock is the local leader of a branch of the Forces of Evil

Palpatine is the overall Enemy

so therefore

Rex and Echo gather an army of escaped clones. They rescue Cody or Wolffe from the Empire. Song and fire are greatly involved.

Themes of rising hope are invoked as they make a stand against the Empire. The clone rebellion grows further.

They are initially victorious and manage to rescue the clone prisoners from Tantiss with few casualties. Hemlock is ousted and flees to the heart of the Empire (but his operation will return in time)

Echo goes to check on the Batch on Pabu and ask them to ally with him and Rex in the upcoming battle.

They march on Coruscant. Things suddenly go disastrously wrong. Cody is killed in battle. Rex faces Palpatine in single combat.

Rex dies tragically.

Eagles.

Echo tells Hunter about the battle. They are delayed on their way and attempt to ride to the rescue. The Batch arrives just after the deaths. Echo is sad.

Pabu is betrayed while the Batch is on Coruscant.

Pabu is invaded by the Empire. Hemlock subjugates the people into his weird clone experimentation program.

Dragons.

The Batch returns to destroyed/invaded Pabu and is unable to intervene.

While attempting to protect their city most of the Batch dies.

Echo is very sad.

Hunter is captured and killed in front of Omega.

Omega escapes and swears an Oath mourns the Batch.

Echo is broken by grief for the ghosts of his past and vanishes.

Omega later becomes a Rebellion leader, carrying the memories of the failed clone rebellion and the haven of Pabu with her.

Echo fades/dies on some random planet as the forgotten remnant of the GAR/Clone rebellion.

a little write-up about Hisami Yomotsu

Hisami's theme is so good and interesting it has me wanting to write something about her.

I am absolutely certain the broader fandom has already oversimplified her to hell and back — pun intended — as "the horny masochist". And to be clear, she absolutely is a horny masochist, but not just that. Do bear in mind I haven't actually researched the character in depth, I'm just organizing my thoughts.

For one, her theme. Go ahead, listen to it, the piano is beautiful. I think it is very elegant, emotional, and honestly? almost romantic. This clashes with what one may assume based the combination of her role and her looks.

Her role is to drag damned souls to Hell, and her ability is to not let anyone escape her grasp, so if you're her target you're kinda fucked. Additionally, she is said to lure people in using her beauty and sweet words. It's worth noting that the creature she is based on is, paradoxically, described as ugly and repulsive.

Fittingly, she is rather conventionally attractive, and I would personally say she is very pretty. The most interesting part of her design to me is her veil. It's very reminiscent of a widow's veil, but purple and made of flower petals, which is a lot more flamboyant. It immediately adds an aura of mystery for most of her face to be concealed in this way. It also ties in to the general floral theme of her design, which I really enjoy.

From this you would expect her to act like a femme fatale or a black widow (lines up with her black hand- and footwear), enticing people with charm and sweet talk, only to turn brutal and cold once their guard is down.

But she is said to be rather amicable (as long as Zanmu isn't in the picture), and actually keeps the promises she makes to those she drags to Hell (such as sharing her reward), and in any case, she isn't really two-faced. But she is kinda creepy and eerie nonetheless.

I think this is another instance of classic ZUN moe, which is being weird and creepy in a very heartfelt and almost innocent way (cf my popular post about Reisen).

This is of course complemented by her, uh, notorious relationship with Zanmu, literally panting when thinking about Zanmu getting mad at her. She is very clearly infatuated with her, to the point of stalkery obsessiveness.

With that in mind, the gracefulness, elegance and borderline romanticism of her theme paints a very interesting character, lending her eeriness an aura of tragic beauty, that perhaps interfaces with her obsessive love... Or maybe she is really just a horny masochist, teehee.

In any case, I was planning on just saying her theme was cool or whatever but I've grown really fond of her as I wrote this. Hopefully you appreciate her a bit more after reading this.
