IL SILMUORILLION - SECONDA PARTE

Ci tengo a ringraziare Il Trono per aver fatto uscire questo video questa sera così avrò qualcosa di bello da guardare/ascoltare prima di andare a dormire e probabilmente (considerando la stanchezza che mi ritrovo) domani a colazione! Ci voleva proprio con tutto questo stress! 👌🏻

[my-lady-galadriel]

My dear Bagginses and Boffins, and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks, and Grubbs, and Chubbs, and Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots,

Amazon gave us its version of the Second Age. A lot of versions are possible, because fans are never tired of Arda! 😉

Many years ago a talented italian fanwriter, Domenico, wrote Il Ciclo del Marinaio (translation: The Sailor's Cycle). It's a collection of tales about the events of the Second Age. There are both original characters, such as the protagonist Eärél (also called Erfëa, "solitary spirit"), and Tolkien's characters, such as Miriel, princess of Númenor, and her father Palantir 🙂

This is the animated short film about Eärél, made by Domenico's friend, Alessia 👇

You can help these two artists so they 'll make a longer film: crowdfund their project!

You are a great believer of the only Eru can create true life theory it seems from your posts- what origins of dragons do you subscribe to then in how they were made from something else? How much personhood do you ascribe to individuals among them with variation/free will?

Thank you for the ask! I love asks!

First, maybe I am pedantic on words, but I like to be on the same page, so:

I don't fully agree with the word "believer" in context of a fictional setting, especially given that they are people (I've seen one on YT) who genuinely seem to believe in the Legendarium as mythology/religion/I'm not sure what word to use. I don't.

I respect (or sometimes hype about maybe too much) some of Tolkien's ideas on hot his legendarium ties to the real world, can't internalize some others, but at the end of the day, it is fiction, so the question is less "what is true" and more "what makes sense with the story and world", "what Tolkien intended".

And I do believe (based on things I read and watched on YT) that Tolkien did intend to "evil cannot create true life" and "only Eru can create souls". Does "true life" mean "sentient", or "alive in general"? If "sentient", how is that different from "having a soul"? I have no idea. But anyway yea, "Morgoth can't make things that have free will" is a very safe bet about what tolkien thought of it. And does make sense with the story.

(Still, I will take this wording as a compliment. thank you.)

I don't have a single strong HC about how dragons were made. Made from lizards? From big snakes? From dinosaurs which he somehow stole from Valinor (unlikely because siege)? Probably mutated some big lizards.

Personhood? Hmm. the text is tricky there (even a bit contradictory), but I would go with the "they have bits of Morgoth's will in them, a bit like the Ring had Sauron's". No personhood.

My default assumption about various types of more-or-less monsters is:

deeply corrupted Elves/Men: full personhood, but extreme mental issues due to trauma / generational trauma and probably their free will is, how to say it, imprisoned deep inside their minds, so very unlikely to behave in a good way (think: very strong addiction, some extreme mental ilnesses): all variants of Orcs. (Yes, it makes killing them complicated, I can live with that) (Also I did a post on Orcs and how would I try to make them more metaphysically coherent. TLDR they revert after some generations of not being moderated)

fallen spirits: full personhood, self-inflicted (+ some help from evil superiors) trauma, more effective free will, could get over their bs, yes it is hard but also they aren't willing: Morgoth, Sauron, the Balrogs, some various "demons", I'm not sure about some beings. I like to see Thuringwethil here, even though it's probably not canon.

Elven ghosts who agreed to be bound by Sauron (with coercion!) or Morgoth (if he bothers to do necromancy at all), put into various (animal or engineered from parts) bodies: free will fully bound inside, because of the magic. they can regret but they can't escape: werewolves, vampires, stuff like that, also Thuringwethil

bits of Morgoth's will/mind/whatever put into modies of mutated animals: dragons, I'm not sure what else. As they are various bits, they do have some indyvidual character, something like personality, but they aren't persons. Think: OCs. The dragons are Morgoth's OCs. ;D

They (dragons) could be type 3, but from what I remember the text more suggests 4. Or was it just the musical?

And yes, dragons being active after Morgoth was thrown out doesn't contradict this. Ending of the Quenta Silmarillion says that bits of his will still circulate in the world.

I hope this answers your question.

« Jadis il y eut Sauron le Maia, que les Sindar de Beleriand appelèrent Gorthaur. Au commencement d'Arda, Melkor le séduisit pour en faire son vassal. Il devint le plus grand et le plus fidèle serviteur de l'Ennemi, et le plus dangereux, car il pouvait prendre maintes formes. Il put longtemps apparaître à son gré si noble et si beau que seuls les plus méfiants n'en étaient pas trompés. » Le Silmarillion - Les Anneaux de Pouvoir et le Troisième Âge.

Day 39

Giorno 39 - ieri.

Totale caffè bevuti: 2.

A pranzo, mi allontano un po' dalla solita area per andare a rifornirmi di lenti a contatto giornaliere, e mangio nei pressi dello stesso centro commerciale. Ne ottengo dei ravioli ripieni di rucola freddi, conditi con caponata e pesto, molto buoni.

A cena, salsiccette con contorno di patate e peperoni.

Era giovedì, quindi nuova puntata di Rings of Power! Considerato quello che s'è visto, immagino la gente con il Silmarillion tatuato dietro la schiena che si auto-strangola in segno di protesta; io continuo a trovarla piacevole e a non trovare sensate le critiche sulla presupposta coerenza al "canone". In più, ormai Galadriel per me è questa, e ci ho fatto pace.

Oggi ho preso un permesso per portare i nanetti dal dottore a fare i certificati. Se da un lato so che è mio pieno diritto, dall'altro l'ansia che in ufficio storcano il naso non mi lascia in pace; ma pazienza.

“Il peggiore di tutti i gineprai era quello che egli continuava a considerare come il decadimento spirituale dei nostri tempi e in particolare della sua Chiesa cattolica romana, di cui era un devoto fedele da lungo tempo. […] Era sconcertato dal fatto che persino la sacra Eucaristia potesse essere frequentata da «giovani sporchi, donne in pantaloni e spesso con i capelli incolti e scoperti» e, quel che è peggio, dalle sofferenze inflitte da «preti stupidi, stanchi, ottusi e persino cattivi». Un aneddoto che ho sentito riguarda la sua partecipazione alla messa non molto tempo dopo il Concilio Vaticano II. Esperto di latino, aveva acconsentito con riluttanza alla sua abolizione in favore dell’inglese. Ma quando andò a messa la volta successiva e si sedette al centro di una panca, cominciò a notare altri cambiamenti oltre alla lingua, tra cui una diminuzione della genuflessioni. La sua delusione fu tale che si alzò e si portò goffamente nella navata e lì fece tre inchini molto profondi, poi uscì dalla chiesa marciando.“

Tolkien, Il Silmarillion

[micro961]

HOLY SHiRE- Fuori il nuovo album "Invincible"

Fuori “Invincible”, il terzo album dei milanesi HOLY SHiRE, (Ghost Record Label/AWAL UK). L’album arriva a 6 anni di distanza dal secondo lavoro “The Legendary Shepheds of the Forest”. Composto e prodotto dalla nuova formazione che si è stabilizzata negli anni post pandemia, è stato registrato e mixato da Frank Altare (Orion Recording Studios), masterizzato da Riccardo Parenti (Elephant Mastering) e presenta 10 nuovi brani e un’outro sinfonica. L’uscita dell’album sarà presentato stasera live al Rock on the Road di Desio (MB). Dopo l’estate uscirà il secondo singolo con il video girato in collaborazione con la prestigiosa Scuola del Cinema di Milano Luchino Visconti, “The Seduction of Hollowness”. La musica presenta l’impronta melodica dei precedenti lavori, ma con una maggiore apertura alle sonorità nu metal, la presenza caratteristica del flauto suonato da Kima e delle due voci femminili (Aeon – dragon vocals e Julie – Unicorn Vocals) e i testi legati al mondo fantasy, con Tolkien che rimane la principale fonte di ispirazione. La copertina è stata disgnata da theMaxx (batteria), come nei precedenti due album.

Questa la tracklist:

1 - Misty

2 – Dagon

3 – Dragonfly

4 – Voice Of Reason

5 – Waves Of Misery

6 – The Cathedral

7 – Black Thorn

8 – The Seduction of Hollowness

9 – Dream of You

10 – M9

11 – Farewell

L’album si apre con la marcia dei nani di “Misty”, primo omaggio della band a “lo Hobbit” di Tolkien, per poi scivolare nell’incubo lovecraftiano della cupa “Dagon”, si torna alla luce con “Dragonfly”, dove il flauto descrive il volo della magica libellula, “Voice of Reason” con energia accompagna l’ascoltatore nel mondo di The Witcher, per poi approdare sui lidi della ballad “Waves of Misery”, uno dei singoli, che racconta la dolente storia della sirenetta. “The Cathedral” apre le porte di un sogno dove un giocattolaio misterioso esaudisce ogni desiderio, e di nuovo nel mondo Tolkeniano con Black Thorn ispirata ad una della più struggenti storie d’amore de “Il Silmarillion” e, altro singolo, “The Seduction of Hollowness” che sinuosamente come Grima de “Il Signore degli Anelli” ipnotizza con la magia del flauto. “Dream of you” è il dolce e acustico preludio al primo singolo dell’album “M9”, il brano sicuramente più aggressivo e metal dell’intero lavoro che racconta della mostruosa trasformazione della bellissima Medusa. Il lavoro si chiude con un breve divagazione orchestrale, quasi “timburtoniana”, del tema di Misty.
