The Ring of Felagund/The Ring of Barahir
I confess that (despite mostly enjoying the films) I hold onto several longstanding and extremely petty beefs with Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy. And, surprising no one, my pettiest and fiercest grudge is their design for the Ring of Barahir.
I think (besides the One Ring) it's the most clearly described piece of jewelry in the legendarium:
two serpents with emerald eyes, one upholding, one devouring a crown of golden flowers
And yet! When you look at the film's design, there is a) no crown of golden flowers, b) the serpents do not seem to be either upholding or devouring anything, but kind of just chilling there, and c) the serpents do not have emerald eyes, but rather a single, giant emerald that's plopped in the middle, presumably in place of the golden crown.
It's a lovely ring! But it's not the ring Finrod gave to Barahir.
Anyway, all that to say I finally caved and drew the one that has lived in my head for 24 years. Please clap.
#once again proving that if something is even remotely connected to Finrod I will be deeply unhinged about it#finrod#barahir#ring of barahir#silmarillion art#frankie draws#my art#lord of the rings#aragorn

mmmmmm read a disciple shen yuan/shizun luo binghe fanfic about two days ago where the first chapter was the Immortal Conference arc, and SQQ was the one who had to be pushed into the abyss (he was still the villain) except Luo Binghe was refusing and was like, lowkey losing his mind about SQQ being so close to the edge. SQQ ended up having to be the one to fall in himself because of the system's punishment system. The rest of the fic is leading up to that moment. But like, MMM i've been obsessively thinking about that first chapter for DAYS ever since.
now i've been in svsss for a grand total of *checks watch* a week. but god obsessed with that. I want to write/read a fic where disciple SQQ goes a little nuts down there. Like keep all of the things that make SQQ, SQQ, but just. Throw in a little bit more trauma in there. A little bit of a mental break. Let him go a little nuts as a treat. Just a tad unhinged. I wanna see him go, just a little, "god fuck it, i've tried so hard to change this shitty story's outcome and it feels like everything i've done has been for nothing. I'm going to die in this world no matter what I do, I've been doomed from the start, so might as well die the way I want to." and he just, breaks a little! Under all the stress.
He still retains the traits that makes shen yuan, shen yuan, like his overwhelming kindness. But he's just! yk. A little less patient. Paranoid. Jumpy. Colder. A little more aloof and closed off. A little more Shen Jiu. He's no asshole child abuser, but he was a Number One Hater in his past life and he's leaning into that old habit a little more now.
(On a totally coincidental not-at-all related note, there's not enough SJ-and-SY-are-the-same-people fics out there that i've found. This is totally unrelated...)
The Endless Abyss turns the mind into an over-sharpened blade, and SQQ is both fascinated and perhaps a little excited to explore a place that doesn't have a lot of info on it in the mortal realm, but still terrified out of his mind. And he's no Luo Binghe, he doesn't have the sheer brute strength and power to just bulldoze his way through, so he has to be a lot more sneaky and cunning if he wants to survive.
The fic itself role-swapped LBH and SQQ so that SQQ was the half-demon (which lowkey fucks) and LBH the human, but I'm equally-if-not-more obsessed with the idea that LBH remains the half-heavenly demon and SQQ the human. If only because I keep thinking about SQQ befriending some demons (particularly and specifically a group of succubi) and they grow very attached to this Human Cultivator so through magic plot stuff they create some kind of seal/illusion/talisman that makes SQQ appear as a demon because a human cultivator in the endless abyss may as well be the equivalent of putting a giant neon target on your back.
And iirc Shen Jiu was taught demonic cultivation by that one guy(?? i've only been here a week so im not caught up in ALL of the lore yet) so that could totally happen here.
(On the other end of the realms, poor Shizun Luo Binghe is just. losing his fucking mind over losing his most precious and beloved disciple. About .5 seconds from burning down the peaks himself. somebody sedate him.)
The Endless Abyss sucks and SQQ is having a really terrible time and can feel himself going lowkey mad, but also holy shit look at all this WORLD-BUILDING. look at all this flora and fauna, and oh if he had the equipment for it he'd be writing all of this down. ALL OF IT. He was kinda-sorta-already planning on never leaving the Abyss as some sort of fucked up self-exile and self-preservation thing, but now he might? actually just?? never leave if he can help it, like he lowkey likes it down here.
anyways the next time anyone ever sees SQQ again he's got hair so long its almost touching the ground and he's either in rags and half-feral or he's been completely dolled up by his adoptive succubi sisters and still about three seconds from biting anyone who tries to touch him. (he's also lowkey trying to book it back down to the abyss even if he has desperately missed all of his friends and shizun)
#mxtx svsss#svsss au#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#luo binghe#disciple shen yuan#scum villain#svsss#*points at SQQ/SY* i want him to go nuts. as a treat. let him crumble just a little over the stress of his fate and the stress of survival#and the stress of having a lack of autonomy over a handful of his decisions. starry craves angst and she craves a very specific SQQ angst#he was a number 1 hater back in the day and lbr being a hater takes energyyyy. ive heard that this man was the BIGGEST hater i wanna#see him rip a man to shreds with nothing but his tongue and a voice that could cut marble clean in half. skin a man alive sqq you deserve i#*mortal kombat voice* FINISH HIM#i love without-a-cure but unfortunately i dont think SQQ would be able to have WAC and also survive in the abyss.#the succubi nest that adopted him tried seducing him at first. it didn't work. but he did somehow charm them with his cringefail ways#so now they have a brand new mortal big/little brother to dote on. SQQ is frankly delighted to learn all about succubi culture that doesnt#revolve around sex. he makes quite a few friends/allies in the abyss because of his pure fascination and unbiased desire to learn about#demonic culture and all the different niches and nuances of it across species. he's still going insane tho. like that's not stopping.#there's a single LBH pov chapter in the fic and its frankly so unhinged it was fantastic. he's so possessive. he straight up goes:#'oh SQQ isnt gonna be the next peak lord. he's ascending to heaven with me when i do :)' when Sha Hualing (also peak lord) told him that he#couldn't keep his disciple in the bamboo house all the time. what was SQQ gonna do when LBH ascends and he becomes the new peak lord?#gosh that first chapter is rotating around in my mind so bad. LBH was SO unwell. like losing his actual shit over SQQ near the edge.#i so want to write a oneshot abt this where SQQ is also in hysterics (albeit over slightly diff reasons) and tells LBH on his knees:#'this disciple deeply apologizes to his shizun. for he will not be ascending to the heavens with him.' right before he falls into the abyss#this au being disciple SY is for shits and giggles but i can also see it happening for regular SQQ bc 'fuck it im a dead man either way'#frothing at the mouth at this idea also being a SY-is-SJ au too. for the extra angst of SQQ trying to bear the weight of multiple lives on#his shoulders and trying to figure out what is real and what isn't and if he's meant to suffer in all of his lives no matter what he does.#not once in his life has he ever been free to do what he likes has he? self-hatred to the max. he's going mad. poor boy :]

Monsters vs Aliens really is a wild movie. Like imagine you get abducted by the SCP Foundation but the only other things there are Seth Brundle, The Blob, an Innsmouth Fishman, and Godzilla. And then you have to save the world together. Who came up with this plot and can we please do a collab
#I would like more deeply unhinged children鈥檚 movies please#just the most bizarre concepts people can come up with

it always amuses me how late tyrion's specific flavour of Lannister Sexual Neurosis is introduced is AGoT because by the time shae appears you've spent almost a whole book in his head and you're thinking wow this guy is actually very chill and reasonable considering all the awful things that have happened in his life
and then you watch him give this random teenager he just met a full list of conditions for her new role as his full time live-in fake girlfriend and you're like.... oh........ there's the Mental Illness <3

Just thinking about these three things together for no particular reason at all...
#michael sheen#welsh seduction machine#david tennant#soft scottish hipster gigolo#nothing moments that add up to something#i think Michael has been telling us exactly who he is for a long time now#at this point the subtext might as well be a billboard#this is for everyone just discovering all of the unhinged things Michael was saying in 2019#it was A Lot#bless his bisexual Welsh chaos#i also find it interesting how often Michael talks about masks#and how expressing one's true self through a mask seems to resonate with him#because somewhere in his soul he *is* the angel#and loves David so deeply#and is able to be Aziraphale so completely because of that#ineffable lovers#thoughts#discourse

man, I love when writers get weird with it. I just finished Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, which is mostly about unhinged people getting therapy to very little effect; now I'm reading House of Rot by Danger Slater, and the two characters being colonized by malevolent, otherworldly mold had mutual orgasms to the sound of Eine kleine Nachtmusik. In short, the English language is a triumph, and people should use it to write their fucked up stories forever.
#big swiss was a shock and a delight.#I've never randomly picked up a buzzy popular novel and been so immediately taken. that breezy and deeply unhinged tone!!!#everyone in it needs therapy and is getting therapy and probably needs more therapy to undo the effects of the therapy.#house of rot is at least in the genre of books where I'd expect authors to Get Weird; but still.#when the married couple start prying out their teeth and picking their eyeballs off the floor....yeah that was satisfying.#from the bookshelf

Genuinely believe Gortash saw Karlach as his protege.
The amount of respect he would鈥檝e had for her as a poor kid who literally brawled her way out of poverty is unreal.
And the admiration he had for her is mentioned multiple times, even from other characters who knew them both.
But what would trouble him is her indomitable goodness. He would see it as her weakness, believing her to be delusional to protect herself from the realities of the world.
So he slowly starts to expose her to the more heinous sides of his business. And every time, Karlach still goes right back to her sickeningly bright spirit no matter what.
So he sells her to Zariel. Why not? As much as he despises the devil, Raphael made him who he is. Perhaps a devil is what Karlach needs.
And then Karlach comes back an even better person in the ultimate show of how she was never like him. She was better (and though he鈥檇 never admit it, a part of him knew that.)
#what鈥檚 something that could shatter a person who was hardened by their experiences?#someone who went through the same thing and retained their hope#Gortash: *deeply cares for and admires someone*#also Gortash: *sells them into slavery*#sounds unhinged but makes total sense for him#enver gortash#bg3#karlach#karlach cliffgate

You ever have stages of obsession and depravity when it comes to a character you enjoy? Because that has been me with Gideon Coal of Once Upon a Witchlight fame.
It started with like, oh a himbo built like a brick shithouse, hell yeah. The character art goes hard, the chains are a fun design that makes the silhouette interesting! His dynamic with the other characters is really fun!! Then I read the little character blurb about his back story (as well as just the small comments about his backstory in the actual campaign), and its like ok, that's depressing as hell, but also very interesting!
Then not a second later i get punched in the face with the fucking IMPLICATIONS of Gideon choosing to keep the fucking chains and manacles as his weapons. How they became an extension of his body that only work because he made of fire. How he literally took back his power - which was being used for the train - and have it instead power his weapons, which shackled him to the train. Something something using the objects of your imprisonment as the gateway to your liberation, and then KEEPING them both of a reminder of that imprisonment and as a promise to never let yourself be caged again.
AND THEN in the most recent ep. I watched (ep. 19) with the way he interacts with Twig, who is a deeply lonely character, who was so excited to have guests at her inn because she had been alone for so long that she just immediately attaches herself to them. And for Gideon to just immediately return that energy, for Gideon to just immediately become friends with her (basically adopt her) because he relates to that loneliness, because for a good chuck of time all he knew was pain and loneliness because of the fucking train GAHHHHHHHHHHH
Add to that what he said about Torbek, and him being hurt and vulnerable, and how he needs to be with them so that the people who tortured and experimented on him do not get ahold of him again (because he can relate as he too was tortured and - while not experimented on to my knowledge - was dehumanized and used as a living power source for that FUCKING TRAIN) It has me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure. I am so deeply unwell about this fucker it's not even funny.
Like, idk what the wonderful people down at Legends of Avantris put in the characters they make (because while this is mainly about Gideon, all of the characters make me go feral), but it is some potent stuff, because I already have an (unfinished) 18 page coalecroux fanfic in the works and I've only been watching for like, a week.
All this to say, I love Gideon Coal ( and all of the Witchlight characters). This is the hardest I've been hit with a hyperfixation in a long ass time. It's been rotating in my head 24/7 since I started it, and I don't think it will be stopping soon.
#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#gideon coal#twig toadspring#torbek#character analysis#<- ????#kinda??#its deeply unhinged but i think it counts lmao

Journey鈥檚 End really is so devastating, the Doctor goes from having all his most beloved people around him flying the TARDIS together and he鈥檚 found Rose and Donna is on top of the world and then within 15 minutes Rose is gone and Donna鈥檚 memories are gone and he is just completely alone like Jesus Christ did they have to go that hard???
#David tennant standing in the rain is something that can be so deeply personal#this finale made me genuinely unhinged#suddenly remembering why I鈥檝e never rewatched it before#doctor who#tenth doctor#donna noble#doctor donna#rose tyler#tentoo#tenrose

It's still so unbelievable to me how extreme Dusknoir can be. He's a guy who will impulsively decide to rescue a pair of explorers he has never met for no reason (except maybe some superficial after-the-fact justification like "oh this will make me look even nicer", which doesn't count) and his first instinct when his temporal ally is about to get hit by falling ice is taking the blow for him, but he still lies and manipulates with ease, relishes flaunting his victory over his enemies at the cost of efficiency, decides to let the planet rot and decay as long as he keeps his own life and plans a horrible scheme where he will murder someone and puppet his corpse to attack his closest friends.
what wanting to survive does to a mf i guess.
#this is just me trying to make sense of him#like i want to call him and grovyle 'just some guy' so its funnier when treasure town greatly mithologizes both of them#but like#theyre both unhinged#yet deeply caring#altho dusknoir uses warmth and charm to play people#while grovyle has the social charisma of a rock covered in moss#its so annoying bc ill be like 'im making dusknoir a wooby hes more evil' and then he selflessly helps people#and then i go 'okay hes nicer ig' while dusknoir makes sure grovyle's last memory is one of betrayal failure and dread for his friends#bastard he is#pmd2#just rambling really#dusknoir
