Another young thing from me - a journal page - many-tides liked this one best - when we traded journals for a day - no one knows where she is now

the mourn watch background gives you such a GIFT in having other characters notice and call out on-screen that rook code switches like a motherfucker. the whiplash of hearing my snarky 'heeey I'm just a little guy! :>' funnyman rook speak the heightened ritualized phrases of the mourn watch with perfect seriousness and gravity completely naturally and/or break into an academic tone that can keep up with emmrich at the drop of a hat never stops giving me such endless delight. truly their real mind is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside some hideous mourn watch casual wear

Boy, Tolkien really knew how to write water metaphors to capture large movements of people. The Dike at Helm's Deep is boiling with swarming companies of orcs who advance like the tide, flowing forward, being pushed back, and flowing forward again to reach a higher point each time. The riders of Rohan pour slowly but surely onto the Pelennor Fields like rising waters from a breached dam. The leading edge of Éomer's charging cavalry line roars like a breaker foaming toward the shore. It’s all so great.

Not for nothing, but this is another place where PJ really captured something of Tolkien's words in his films through just the visual imagery. There is absolutely something distinctively liquid about the way that Éomer, Gandalf and crew pour over that ridge line and down into Helm’s Deep in Two Towers, and you can totally see the wave-like nature of the cavalry charge outside Minas Tirith later on. It's easy to directly replicate words like dialogue and basic physical characteristics and plot points in an adaptation, but to evoke the same metaphors and capture the implied imagery as well? That's next level.

Thanks to Agathario Twitter fandom I can never look at these lines the same way

"Let the tides carry you back to me." has always been among one of my favourite lines in Telomeres, and so, having listened to it again recently, a little idea popped into my head. Let me explain:

While ocean tides/currents is a very common metaphor, there's an underlying meaning to it. The ocean is a beautiful, but somewhat cruel place: tides can leave you stranded on a sandbank, or sweap you away before you even know it.

To put it in short, no object or creature that goes into the ocean comes out the same. For the tides to carry something back to you, something you've lost, it will be and always will be changed: eroded.

The cliffside will fall, the cave will crumble, etc etc.

With this in mind, we're yet again greeted with another example of Vessel asking for something he can't truly have. The person he wants will not be the same as they were before; they "collapse" into him, breaking apart, but still, to him, it's "the start of something."

His memory is warped, they are warped, and it'll stay that way.

However, what I would like to add is that, in DYWTYLM, it's theorised that instead of Vessel speaking to a second person, he's instead talking to himself.

Of course, this makes the song itself much more emotional (to me). Finding love for yourself is one of the hardest things you can do, but it has to be done to find love in others.

With that idea (stay with me here), the lyrics "Do you roll with the waves? Or do you duck into deep blue safety?" match up (generally) with Telomeres, which is mostly interpretated as being towards someone else.

So, what if some lines in Telemores are directed to himself as well?

Keep in mind, the tides don't just erode and carry objects (sediment), they also reflect. The Atlantic is one big mirror, and Vessel is staring into it's "deep blue safety" wondering what, or, rather, who, he was before he was Vessel.

Overall, the album name, "This Place Will Become Your Tomb", either being directed at Vessel or Vessel to Sleep (and being a Halo quote lmao), is more metaphorical than literal.

Who he was before Vessel sits in that coffin, not his physical body.

all right we did the "underrated badass moment" and riza communicating to roy about selim's nature from right under bradley's nose won, so how about this?

[vibinsane]

how ironic, don't you think, coming from someone who had been obsessed with titanic since she was a little girl. how just a few years ago, she had rekindled her interest and this pull she had towards the history of the titanic and the movie, practically hyperfixated on it for a while actually. funny how rafayel's affinity 100 ring is the color blue and rose's necklace is also blue.

and how rafayel asks mc if she wants his heart, whilst the necklace rose had in the movie was called 'heart of the ocean'.

So... This is the picture I've been having a rough time with.

Do I know how this happened? No.

Do I want to know how this happened? No.

Am I glad to finally just post this and move on with my life? Absolutely.

Hopefully I'll be able to post art more often now

THE BIG BANG FIC IS SO CLOSE!!! IM BEYOND EXCITED AND CONGRATS ON FINISHING IT (AND YOUR ESSAY!)

hello and thank you!!! as im editing it rn to get it ready for posting, here is a no-context snippet (i also missed wip wednesday, so i'm counting this as that):

Obi-Wan hates the Sith. It is all he has energy for. To hate, as a form of inflicting pain. To suffer, from the pain he cannot escape. If Anakin had died—surely Obi-Wan would have felt it. Surely the universe would have shifted, shaken and scared of its own propensity for cruelty. Surely his heart would have lurched and his Force signature would have burned.  But he’d been wearing a Force Suppression collar that Vader had snapped onto his neck. Would he have been able to feel anything? Surely if Anakin had—surely Obi-Wan would have felt it. Despite all the reasons he couldn’t have or wouldn’t have. Surely, despite them all—if it were Anakin, if it were Anakin’s…surely… “Another Jedi intruder was captured on my ship,” Vader says. Obi-Wan blinks, turning his head to look at him. It is a break from routine, speaking to him. A part of Obi-Wan’s mind, who still cares for such things, notes that this is important information. But it is a small part. Obi-Wan turns his head back to look up at the ceiling once more.
