Not brute force, but nobility is the symbol of real hardcore
Continuing my personal Nolofin week to pay tribute to a great character created by Tolkien.
I wrote this on another site and I will write it here. Fingolfin is the most hardcore character. He is the one who crossed the Helcarax and took personal responsibility for this incredibly difficult crossing. Some thought that he would just turn back, but this is Fingolfin, he could not do that.
But there is another point that speaks of him as a badass. Fingolfin was the first Elf whose life was in danger in Valinor. He is brave enough to face it without blinking an eye. And he is magnanimous enough to forgive such an act.
I have come across the point of view that the badass in this situation is Feanor. But no. Fingolfin was unarmed. His opponent was armed, although there was no need for it. Not brute force, but nobility is the symbol of real hardcore.
He combines the best qualities of the epic heroes of Hellas, King Arthur and Scandinavian berserkers. The essence of the character is built on the theory of northern courage. This is a very hardcore idea, to fight evil, even if the forces of good do not win.

For me it will always be Fingolfin. He is awesome. His achievements are unsurpassed.
Is Elrond a high king of the Noldor?

TLT fans: did you guys know about the real Wake? I hadn't heard about her until we covered World War II in my world civ class this semester
Nancy Grace Augusta Wake (1912-2011) was a covert operative who was at the top of the Nazi's most wanted list in WW2, nicknamed "The White Mouse" for her ability to repeatedly evade capture. She was born in New Zealand with Māori heritage, grew up in Australia, and joined the Resistance after traveling to Europe and witnessing the harsh treatment of Jews in Vienna by the Nazis
Wake worked in the Pat O'Leary Line escape network until her Resistance organization was compromised by the Germans in 1942. After that she fled on foot across the Pyrenees—with several close calls that she escaped by flirting with German soldiers—and made her way to England to join the Special Operations Executive. She was part of a three person team codenamed "Freelance" which parachuted into occupied France. During this operation she got stuck in a tree after her parachute became tangled in its branches. The local Resistance leader who found her reportedly said “I hope that all the trees in France bear such beautiful fruit this year" to which she replied "Cut out that French bullshit and get me out of this tree"
While working in the Freelance operation Wake once biked 500 km (310 mi) without stopping in the span of 72 hours across Nazi territory to retrieve a new radio and codes after her team's were destroyed in a Gestapo raid. Without this feat, Freelance would not have been able to communicate with London and there would have been no more supply drops to support their Resistance organization. During the war she was also part of a raid which destroyed the Gestapo headquarters in Montluçon, in which she reportedly killed a Nazi sentry with her bare hands to prevent him from raising an alarm
Wake's fellow operatives described her as "a real Australian bombshell. Tremendous vitality, flashing eyes. Everything she did, she did well. She was an excellent shot, excelled at fieldcraft and put the men to shame by her cheerful spirit and strength of character." "She is the most feminine woman I know until the fighting starts. Then she is like five men." "We both came to the conclusion that she was 10 times the man I would ever be"
By the time of her death in 2011, Wake had been awarded the George Medal by Britain; the Medal of Freedom by the United States; the Médaille de la Résistance, the Croix de Guerre (x3), and the Légion d’Honneur by France; and the Badge in Gold by New Zealand. Due to a complicated relationship with Australia, she originally refused to accept any awards from the Australian government, saying that they could "stick their medals where the monkey stuck his nuts." In 2004, however, she accepted the honor of Companion of the Order of Australia as well
#the locked tomb#commander wake#awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity#harrow the ninth#tamsyn muir#world war ii#world war 2#nancy wake#nancy grace augusta wake#rambling#idk what exactly to do with this information but i thought it was really cool#and let me tell you. the fact that commander wake seems to be based on a key resistance op in WW2 at the top of the nazis most wanted list#does NOT make john and his empire look good. in case we needed anymore hints#ww2 tw#nazis tw#herstory#nona the ninth#greatest hits

Until the end of my days it will always be Fingolfin. The one who will go into any fight for the sake of his people. Star in the night.

Help me manifest: I will shut down my laptop and go to sleep now. I will not complete this in one sitting. Starting fresh and immediately doing lighting would mean this would be awesome compared to my regular art—that I finish in one sitting.
Amen.

Woah Ser Valerie… There’s rose petals in the air when she fights!
#Altheya#altheyatde#my ocs#Ser Valerie#I’ve been trying to find a last name for her for the past week#And for me that’s usually just hearing or reading a word somewhere and going ‘could that be a last name?’#So this week I encountered the word ‘Florett’ which is the German word for a light rapier sword that’s called a ‘foil’ in english#English has the worst name for them#Because every other language used a variation of the French word fleuret#So it’s florett floreto fioretto etc in most languages#We don’t know yet what language or region Mark is going to base the Suncrest isles on but southern french spanish italian etc should be fin#I like that word but it sounds a bit clunky as a last name paired with her first name (Ser Valerie Fioretto? Too long)#So I’m still workshopping that#Her first name came very easily so of course her last name is more difficult to find :(#I chose Valerie because it’s valiant+flattery with a hint of Valkyrie and it has a latin/roman/italian origin#So a very good name for her!#Anyway wow cool drawing I like it a lot

not to be shady but how does one not clock that them repeating "mary-anne" was an allusion to his alleged femininity/a dig at him being gay in some capacity

Imagine if in the Olympic games series. The Tails Squad were participants
You just know most of the other participants will sit aside and let them have their fun.
The squads' competitiveness amongst each other and support to the point of multiple tiny teams is highly entertaining to watch.
#tails squad#ask answered#anon ask#they have teams! amongst each other and against each other#it's hilarious#closer Tails flock together for support on every side!#Ali and Smithy are whispering techniques amd tricks so Sails would win in fencing#meanwhile Nine is full on supporting Valiant on the other side#he doesn't want Valiant to win or anything. he just want to smirk at the prospect of Sails losing#Sonics be rhe proud parents in the bleachers eho are wheezing half the time#Mangey floors everyone at hurdles#OVA takes the surf#classic is dangerous. modern supports him the most#and the little guy keeps getting underestimated and keeps winning at most things#miles tails prower#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic#i forgor Valiant amd Smithy are supposed to be the same person and I'm to lazy to edit it our so now edit out Smithy from that 1 sentence

-Hell Screen (Book & Audiobook)
-Dream of the Red Chamber (Book & Audiobook)

-Faust (Goethe and Marlowe book & Audiobooks 1 and 2)
#limbus company#Me w the Canto Oblivion teaser: :D#Me w the New/Returning User Doxxing: …As if there’s enough drama happening this week :(#Why can't we anticipate our valiant vampire knight for once? :/#To be fair you're free to hide the spoiler or main tag when the Canto comes out#Most of the books are on Project Gutenberg#and I’m all for the LibriVox audiobooks too (especially Don Qui)#but if playing the canto ‘spoiler free’ then that’s fine too :)#Though me w the Ornwell translation listening to the Ornsby reading is certainly something 🙃

One quick thought
If even your defeat looks like a victory in the eyes of many people, then you are incredibly hardcore.

(@ask-sarah-and-co) sarah @ ??? (feel free to use her pokemon form!)
“Ooh, a puzzle!” She leans over the zoroark, “You must be good at puzzles, this one looks pretty hard.” She glances at the other boxes, “Do you like doing them as a… uh, hobby?”
Valiant stared blankly at Sarah for a long and uncomfortable amount of time, he looked... like he was trying to process what she just asked. It took an even longer amount of time for him to finally happily chirp back up with a reply.
"Perhaps you can inform me of the definition of a 'HOBBY'? But if you are attempting to ask the reason for me doing these puzzles that is quite simple!"
He quickly turned back to his puzzle and promptly began sorting through the pieces, "Arceus doesn't like when I stand around and stare, they informed me that it was very 'creepy' that I stared off for hours. So now I do puzzles." "I have tried many other activities however, I find I often struggle with other tasks. I do not know why, perhaps there is something wrong with me. I find puzzles straightforward and predictable. They don't cause me to hesitate, to stare, maybe one would call it 'frustration' but I cannot feel that. So I would not know." If he could sigh... or possibly feel discontent he would have likely done so, but he only sorted through the pieces with a blank expression on his face. "Sometimes I like to think about what it would be like to be a normal mortal. Maybe then if I was, I could do those things."
"If there's one task I wish I was able to do, perhaps it would be..." He made an odd gesture. "The stick that creates the words and pictures. It seems very fun."
#avv: valiant#avv: chrono#Valiant is a simple creature... he wants two things the most in the world to do his puzzles and achieve a sense of normalcy#Posts will be... queued for the next few days. So if something seems out of order thats why /lh#Hope yall are enjoying my bby boi#Avv: All Posts

They'll never do it. But I think it would be incredibly funny to send the f1 grid line dancing as an Austin promo thing.
#it would probably be a copyright nightmare because of the music#also none of them would be good at it#but i think most of them would put in a valiant effort#or at least *an* effort#f1#austin gp 2024
