@just-another-linguist and @melestasflight both requested Fingon which was v exciting. Fingon is one of the characters that really stuck with me the first time I read the Silm, but I’ve never actually drawn him. In my mind this is like a Valinor-era Fingon!

Transcript:
[Unknown Tome builds ominously in the background] Murph: But you also see, facing away from you, looking out on the city below is a moving gargoyle. His huge, bat-like wings flap to keep him steady. You see, as he turns to look at you, he's got gray skin and a hunchback. His long neck is slouched forward. He's got this long black and white beard that grows out as if it's just really long sideburns. It's a bad beard. [The players laugh.] Uh-- he has massive claws that sit at the end of fists like boulders, and long talons at the ends of his feet. He is standing atop a large black and gold chest, um, like a treasure chest, his talons are clinging to it. Uh, there is a two-foot wide circle in the middle of it, through which you only see darkness. Um, and-- Emily: In the middle of the chest? Murph: In the middle of the chest. It's just black. It's just dark. You can't see what's inside, it's just dark. Um, and he turns, and he addresses you guys, and he goes: Akarot: Oh. You again. Ruining another one of my rituals! Moonshine, cheerfully: Ah! So we did categorically ruin your other ritual! That's good. 'Cause for us it felt like a pyrrhic victory. But I'm glad to know that it was a ruin for you! Akarot: Oh, it's-- it's-- it's a pyrrhic victory for you overall. [The other players laugh] Moonshine: Okay, so I win? Akarot: What? No! I mean. Okay, look-- Moonshine: I mean, I assumed best case scenario was gonna be a pyrrhic victory. Akarot: Shut up! Hardwon: You really shouldn't go at her when she's wearing the Thinking Cap, bud. Akarot: Shut up! Everyone shut up! Moonshine: Yeah, sorry dude, I'm just like at-- Akarot, speaking over her: Take that hat off! Take that hat off and debate me! Moonshine: Yeah right! You take your vest off! [The music cuts out. The other players and Murph start laughing.] Akarot, confused: Do I have a vest on? Murph, laughing: Yes, you see he has a little vest. [Everyone laughing in the background.] Hardwon: You have a tactical vest and there's nothing in the pockets. Moonshine, through laughter: Yeah, it looks like a-- it looks like a photographer-- a photographer's vest. Apple: Absolutely Donald Duckin' it. Nothing on the bottom! Akarot: I haven't had a ton of time to get used to this body, I'll be-- I didn't notice the vest when I first put the body on. Moonshine, still laughing: Really? It's like all I see! Murph, laughing and slightly unintelligible: He does-- He does see-- vest-- Moonshine: Are there like holes for your wings in it? Akarot: Yeah. Clearly! My wings are out. Everyone's focusing on the vests. Everyone's focusing on the vests. Hardwon: Including you! Apple: It's very distracting. Is there stuff in those pockets? Akarot: Um. Okay. Everyone relax! I'm taking-- I'm gonna take off the vest! Murph: He takes-- he takes off his vest-- Moonshine: NO! Nonono! You can't take off the vest! You committed to the vest! Akarot: Fine. Murph: He puts the vest back on. [Caldwell yelps in laughter.]

I've also been thinking a lot about closeted pop stars (including Harry) in the time of Chappel Roan. Mostly unformed thoughts but very eager to see what's next for all of them
You sent this a while back anon - and I keep thinking of answering it and each time what 'in the time of Chappell Roan' has shifted slightly and so my answer has got more complicated and the fundamental differences between Chappell Roan and Harry have become more obvious.
I think there's an emotional landscape question about what it means to be a closeted pop star in this moment. I don't know if we can imagine the complexity of this answer - and when we try it's important to include the push back against the fan gaze that is coming from queer artists.
The other side of this question is what it means for his career. And here I think it's worth asking what does it mean that Harry is going to be making pop music in this moment. It's been a time of these massive, interesting, female pop acts. All of whom in their own particular ways say something about themselves and something about pop with their art. It's been a time that Taylor Swift, who has baked cookies for her fans in the past, has told fans to fuck off in songs.
None of this is very Harry Styles. One of the things that has been really interesting to me watching the pop landscape shift this year - is that has really made me define what Harry does. These are I think the key elements to his proposition:
With each album he has had a very big song that spoke to the moment we're in
His aesthetic is striking, interesting and playful (thanks Harry L - but also thanks to hiring strong artists with a point of view for key tasks such as album photography)
In his music there's a lot of space for people to project onto, with particular space for fantasies
The core of the fantasy is the live show and its place of joy
And certainly there's a huge gap between that - and what we've been seeing from other artists recently.
I was listening to a recent episode of Every Single Album and Nora and Nathan were talking about Harry Styles for a while (I can't remember which one and would welcome pointers, because it's not clear from the episode description). And Nathan in particular was suggesting that Harry would need to think carefully about how he presented himself in this space and it wouldn't be enough to be projected onto - he needed to share something of himself. Here Dua Lipa is used as sort of a cautionary tale of what happens if you don't have enough Lore.
It's not that I entirely disagree. I think there's a lot that Harry address in his music that would be thrilling, if he was interested in sharing. When you think of songs like 'But Daddy I love him' or the 'Girl, So Confusing' remix - and imagine what would happen if Harry was interested in playing even near that playground - that's something I'd look forward to. I also think the most effective way to address the way people do and don't talk about his sexuality - would be a song that had an element of fuck you in it.
But I think there are multiple dangers here - and not having enough lore is only one of them. I also think there's a worry of losing what people want from you, by trying to be what people love in other people. (I think this, far more than anything, has been Katy Perry's problem. She's trying and failing to be a more relevant version of herself - but she'd be far more relevant if she'd kept doing what people love from her.
I really think the 'if he's interested in sharing' is the key point. If he has any interest in writing any music that comments on his life in a way that is intelligible to listeners - then I think there's real potential. But I think nothing could be more fatal than doing it for the lore.
To come back to Chappell Roan - I just listened to the popcast episode about touring, and read Jon Caramanica's review of Chappell Roan's show in Tennessee. In that he compares the show with the on-line discourse - and basically argues that the way forward, the way to build a career that matters - is to ignore the people who want to talk about you and focus on those who want to be part of the collective experience when you make music.
I hope that this, more than anything else, is the message that Harry takes forward. If he has anything to say, then I'm all for him saying it (although I think the response to Chappell clearly shows that people don't really want popstars to say things). But I think the most important thing for his career will be him continuing to do what he does well.

“Blood Moon, Blood Brothers,” Phases of the Moon Knight (Vol. 1/2024), #4.
Writer: Tom Waltz; Pencilers and Inkers: Ken Lashley and Brian Level; Colorists: Dono Sanchez-Almara, Erick Arciniega, and Antonio Fabela; Letterer: Cory Petit
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Phases of the Moon Knight#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Moon Knight#Khalmeziir#Khonshu#this story was a bit more plot heavy but what I’m taking away from it is parallels with Elias + Marc + Randall???#because the incredibly complicated fatherly and brotherly relationships in Moon Knight comics are the surest thing#to send me up the wall in the best way possible#there’s something there with Khalmeziir losing his identity as a father#he says it’s due to disowning his son but it also reminds me of how Marc felt disconnected from his (admittedly already complicated)#identity after becoming Moon Knight? The persistent theme in the early volumes that Marc had died#and perhaps had stayed dead and perhaps that was best so that Steven and Jake could live well as well as so Moon Knight#could be a righteous executor of justice#but there’s also Khalmeziir being the one to bring his son to justice for all of the latter’s blood lust which just#reminds me so much of Elias’ criticisms of Marc chasing after bloodsports and combat as well as introducing such pursuits to Randall#Marc had only sold his soul to the metaphorical demon of mercenary work/killing and committing war crimes for cash#but if Elias could see how far Randall and Marc ended up falling…would he have been tempted to act as Khalmeziir did?#Marc describes Elias as the gentlest man of peace possible so probably not#…but that’s a description coming from an incredibly guilty son who (in some continuities) might feel his wild dog days#partially contributed to his father’s death sooo#in any case…what a what if#maybe it’s for the best Elias never knew what ultimately became of Randall

ogfoofodoxx thinking about how the most defining character trait of haymitch is how protective he is. not in the sense it's the most obvious, but how all of his actions are fueled by this desire to protect. how hard he works at keeping katniss alive in the first games, him fighting to keep them from augmenting katniss's body, him yelling at plutarch to keep finnick from having to share his trauma, him being so involved in peeta's recovery and being the one to bring katniss home. him holding mayslee's hand as she died, fighting for plutarch to stay and rescue peeta, being the one to find katniss and finnick when johanna had an episode, begging coin to believe peeta's warning. it being heavily implied or either outright stated that he was one of the people who fought to protect effie.
makes me physically ill because no one does that for him. everyone who would of, died.
#DIES EXPLODES COMBUSTS#thg#haymitch abernathy#:v#haymitch acting like he doesn't care about anyone when he actually cares about everyone#he's acting like he's winning the idgaf war but love has disarmed him completely.#Tbc katniss and peeta would but they are literally incapable of being that for him. bc they are infant#also thinking about how we get this sense that while he has some modicum of power with the revolution his sway only goes so far#which is to say not far at all#the times we actually see what the negotiating process is like for him he has to beg coin to listen to him#and he says Plutarch didn't listen to him between cf and mockingjay when he tried to get them to stay for peeta#I just get this sense that most of the time he's in the room but isn't really allowed to make decisions#and constantly has to fight to be heard#I mean again I will always circle back to this they literally locked him in a room to detox#and the descriptions we get in cf is his withdrawal symptoms are incredibly severe#so clearly they weren't dependent on his imput#idk idk I just get this sense they valued his input up until the point he reminded them all he still views people as people.#him coaching katniss was to say in mockingjay during her speech in two also makes me chew drywall#how much of that is what he thought she needed to say to stay alive and how much is what he had always wanted to say#also thinking about how he wasn't lying when he told Plutarch he couldn't go back to twelve sober.#bc he gets katniss home and then immediately gets blackout drunk#I am of the opinion that he genuinely can't get sober while living in 12#I like to think he lets himself leave eventually never to the capitol of course but in my hc he goes to 11#just bc of his fondness for chaff and seeder but that's just a self indulgent headcanon#ALSO ALSO.#thinking about how he's fighting a revolution that he doesn't even believe will bring chance#well. he thinks it'll change things but that change will be temporary and fighting will break out again#my perfect pessimist idiot. in my heart of hearts he gets a therapist moves and actually recovers

Guys. I did not know before now that writing could be painfully millennial in a full prose book but the pho*nix ke*per has proven me wrong and I have to complain about it in the tags
#k talks#weird astrix is because I don't want this showing up in the tag just in case#but I NEED To complain about this book real quick. I love a magical zoo that part was fun but good lord the main character....#I get what the author was trying to do with her arc and I will say the second half of the book is better than the first but Jesus christ#I hated the main character at the start she is SO annoying. not to be mean I know the whole point is her overcoming her anxiety#but like. I swear to God every two pages was just oooh I'm so awkward I'm such an introvert I'm such an awkward scrawny turtle!!!!#like CONSTANT. even worse though she's mean about it. for like half the book she's just so incredibly judgy at her public outreach job#she literally works at a zoo and has to learn hmmm... zoos need money??? zoos are also about... educating the public??? WHATT????#also it just felt so weird because she is constantly talking about how pale and skinny and pasty and scrawny and white she is#like constantly. and her best friend is a black trans woman who CONSTANTLY coddles and supports the mc in a very maternal way#and her love interest is latina-coded I'm pretty sure and is much more confident and opinionated and is literally described as fiery once#so like. hm! Okay! interesting! Interesting stereotypes going on tbh!!!#the mc learns some lessons and gets slightly less insufferable but like. also it was SO predictable I always knew what was gonna happen nex#and the writing style... like I said above it is MILLENNIAL and not in a fun way. the word boop is used several times. the humor is awful#the main character has multiple conversations about being so uwu bottom even though there's no sex in this book??? why??#and every single character description is repeated OVER and OVER with the same two details. SO much telling basically no showing#the writing was just so... quirky. ooooh look at me I'm awkward I trip over things I can't do make-up I love sitting on the couch!!!!#like. idk. obviously a lot of people really liked this book and I SHOULD have been one of them. Sapphic romance at a magic zoo....#but the execution was just so incredibly not my thing it actively pissed me off even if I can see what the author was trying to achieve#maybe I just don't like cozy fantasy. man. there was a bit where a guy should've gotten eaten by a kelpie but didn't. so maybe too cozy#for my tastes actually. which is weird I feel like I should enjoy cozy fantasy! especially about animals!!! but maybe this was just a fluke#anyways. to be clear I am not trying to make fun of the MC for having anxiety. just the overall way her social awkwardness was WRITTEN abou#really bothered me. idk man I'm a neurotic freak as well but I try to be NICE about it. and I have the correct zoo opinions. so.

oh my god i just finished the dark forest finally. 7/10 i suppose, i went through the first half or so of the book being really annoyed by luo ji but also enjoying the chapters where he shows up because unfortunately he was entertaining. still don't understand the imaginary girlfriend thing, it just feels like he needs someone to protect from the world which like ??? ok sure i guess, it just rubs me the wrong way personally. for the second half and especially the end i became luo ji's number one defender it's fine. for the rest, holy crap—the droplet, the microcosm of the universe on those runaway ships, the wallfacer project, luo ji drawing from rey diaz's plan, the attitude of the world towards him, the entire theory... wow
#i dont even know my brain's exploding#i don't think it's an incredibly great plot per se but it's enough to keep me interested and the concepts are interesting and thats enough#again shi qiang the mandatory emotional support. i was so touched when he said goodbye to luo ji even tho it was just a false alarm#also dongfang yanxu (btw her name??? homophone for 'the east lives on'??) and those two other captains using just their eyes to#communicate just like zhuang yan imagined... ough and then all that destruction#三体#tbh was reminded of the trisolarians when zhang beihai started waxing on about the new morals the new humanity might have#make judgements without feeling and yet it killed him in the end#generally the moment luo ji wakes up and is almost killed 6 times (kind of funny tbh) shit literally just kept happening#also @ great depression 2. like the great ravine or smth? idk it felt close to cultural rev 2. greenpeace as a 人奸 organization💀💀💀💀💀💀#the aesthetics of trisolarians are great tho. first the droplet then the giant signaling device they send#so beautiful its something humans can't even imagine is a nice description. reminds me illogically of eschers art#王明军 the audiobook reader needs like 10 million awards actually. i feel like i didn't really think abt it when listening to book 1#but his voice and narration is really good he reads with feeling which is incredible for when i dont want to keep reading#my post#i was very touched at the end tho he really said i'll become an alcoholic#the wallfacer project and its tolls on the saviors of the world or something#also a surprising amount of christianity references i feel#idk tho#three body problem#main gripes were that the switching of perspectives bored me lol the three retired old grandpas were alright#but i was bored out of my mind at zhang beihai's pov before shit started going down sorry dude#it annoys me how grandpas + chang weisi and all those other people kind of just get written out but i suppose this is not the target f#for science fiction anyways??
