i’ve made some memes i’m proud of in my time, but i love this one particularly i have to say

[ ID. a meme in imitation of the barbie 2023 poster that reads, “she’s everything. he’s just ken.” the text is in a curly font. above the first sentence are pictures of rose, calliope, death, johanna, lucienne, unity, and the fates from the sandman netflix. above the second sentence is a picture of hob. end ID. ]

Remember the Sauron x OC fic I was obsessed with weeks ago?

That fic features Moyeldë, one of my Maiarin OCs who will also be featured in The Lady of Ithilien as one of the main antagonists. As Moyeldë means "slave-daughter" I thought it would be fitting to also give the character a pre-Morgoth name.

I've been thinking about it and I am proud to announce I finally came up with something I like. I find naming characters kind of hard, but I think Carassëa simply fits. It's a blend of caran (Sindarin for the color red) and alassëa (Quenya for 'happy' and 'joyous').

The main fancast for Carassëa/Moyeldë is Meryem Uzerli and her role as Hürrem Sultan in the show Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century). The name Hürrem means joyful in Turkish so you could say it's more or less a direct translation of the name. Hürrem's birth name was originally Alexandra and I thought it'd be a nice nod to her to have Carassëa change her name once she became a servant of Morgoth's and entered Mairon's "harem" in Angband- similarly to how Alexandra became Hürrem once she entered Sultan Suleiman's harem in the 1500s.

This is a little edit showing her Almaren era as a child, her First Age/pre-fall of Númenor era and her Fourth Age era.

I still have to come up with a satisfactory backstory for her, but I do have some ideas.

She's always had a massive crush on Mairon and was always around him. Eönwë had a soft spot for her (he has a massive soft spot for children) and whenever the two of them met, she was there as well. This is somewhat of an important detail since she'll be straight up murdering Eönwë and Elenna's children and Eönwë will execute her because of it. The Herald of Manwë used to love and dote on Carassëa so I think you can only imagine the shock and the pain he'll feel when she at last tells him who she really is. He'll be heartbroken and nearly stop the execution, but he'll be forced to kill her when she tries to do the same to him. Carassëa fell because of her obsession with Mairon. She was desperately in love with him and this led her to leave Almaren though she did not even particularly want to. She liked it there and loved Nessa, her former mistress. She had friends and was a dutiful, kind girl. She just valued Mairon above everything else and that was definitely a major mistake on her part. Blinded by love and obsession, she left everything behind her and followed him without even knowing what she was doing, becoming more and more ruthless. She created a new identity for herself and chose to forsake everything the Valar had taught her to be with the Maia she loved. She lied, tortured and killed for him. And he eventually abandoned her and left her to die. I plan to have her realize Mairon never cared about her just moments before she dies (just right after Eönwë finishes her. She'll have a moment of clarity and she'll probably beg for mercy before she drops dead. Mairon may be watching with a smirk on his face. Eönwë is basically doing him a favor at that point. He wouldn't mind killing her himself- that's not the point. I think he'll just be over her by then. He's completely uninterested in her eventually and cannot be bothered to off her because...she's been around for so long he's just done with her. So much for love, I suppose)

Faceclaims:

Rachel Hurd-Wood=> First Age

Meryem Uzerli=> Fourth Age

I could not find the name for the young actress I used as her faceclaim for her Almaren era. She's from The Spanish Princess but apparently she was not credited. If anyone knows who she is, please dm me.

the carlos penalty in every way is absolutely unfair. a penalty should be allowed only when the DRIVER or the TEAM is in direct fault for the penalizing situation. i understand the politics of this game, but this is just brute unsportsmanlike conduct from all the teams who refuse to call out fia on their incompetent bullshit. the accident happened because of the track. neither the driver or the team could have foreseen this, and had it not been carlos, it would have been another driver or maybe all the other drivers in the grid who would have suffered the consequence of a track related mistake nobody could control apart from the parties in charge of the maintenance of the track. max literally said carlos couldn't feel his legs after what happened yesterday and the floor of the car was almost torn and broken off. he was lucky his seat didn't split into half like ocon's did.

Not sure that was worth it. Especially knowing that we have it on the calendar for 9 more years.

If we're honest, there are a lot of logistics to sort before Vegas has it next season. The main issue being the tyre temps. It caused more chaos than I thought, especially on Lap 1, and the restarts. For the teams, I hope that the data they've got from today will help for future iterations.

I did expect more than DNFs. Unfortunately, Hulkenberg and Tsunoda seemed to be mechanical. And while there were overtakes, we hardly saw any again!!

Now, time for breakfast and to get ready for work.

La Scultura del giorno: il busto di THomas Baker del Bernini

La scultura del giorno che voglio proporvi oggi è il busto di Thomas Baker scolpito dal Bernini nel 1638. Ora bisogna dire che l’opera fu ideata e impostata dal grande Gian Lorenzo Bernini ma per la maggior parte il lavoro di esecuzione fu portato avanti da uno dei suoi aiuti più fidati: Andrea Bolgi detto più comunemente il Carrarino dato che nacque in quel di Carrara il 22 giugno del 1606.
