Feanorian Week Day 1: Maedhros, the Hanged Man 

For @feanorianweek​ I’ve decided to do my takes on seven of the major arcana, and so I’m glad it’s starting off with maedhros (coughcoughbestboycoughcough)! I would have liked to emulate the actual tarot depictions of the hanged man by putting him upside down, but I just couldn’t find a way to depict nelyo that way that i wouldve been happy with… i hope that’s alright! 

Behind the scenes bonus: (aka my excuse for not drawing him upside down)

hoo boy… one day down and six more to go! 💃 

Maedhros | Maglor | Celegorm | Caranthir | Curufin | Ambarussa | Feanor

Tolkien only has two kind of elves: Enderenwen the fair, who's eyes hold centuries of pain and yet his gaze is as kind as the first sun in spring, his mother was a nightingale and his father a seabreeze, flowers grow wherever he walks;

And Finwendulenfinfedë, who has killed half of his entire family and is here to fuck shit up

Tried press on nails for the umpteenth time and it would appear that I'm not going to tear them out from sensory overload this time!!

Look at me, getting all comfy with possible triggers!

[modmad]

want to help? you can!

Thank you to everyone who has been sending such kind messages, I promise I really do read them all, even if I can't reply, but while these messages are wonderful (and really. I mean it. just the nicest and most heartfelt things I've ever seen) the sad fact is they don't change my situation. But you can change it. You can help me.

If you know my situation, if you want to help me, please write to Glitch Productions. They are the only people who can, and I believe, might, be able and willing to save me. SMG4 has ignored me, even through a legal letter. I have no hope that they will do otherwise, but Glitch are a different case and I think they just genuinely don't know I exist. I have sent them a message, to no reply, but more messages means more of a chance they will notice. IF you are on twitter please message that way, I closed my account there years ago, and please be polite: I am not asking for hate, even if I've received it.

Even a short message will help. I need numbers, I need voices. My own voice is being drowned out, but you can speak for me as well.

For some points on the plagiarism under the read more (what I collected/organized while building up an email to send):

1) TIMELINE RGB was created long before, over a decade before Mr. Puzzles first debuted. (*RGB's first appearance may have been 2011, was a little iffy on that)

2) UNDENIABLY UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE The number of traits, some uniquely specific to and representative of RGB's design, that are copied in Mr. Puzzles design are too many to be chalked up to 'just a coincidence'

Especially when you look at the designs of all of the other TV head characters out there - I collected as many as I could find (though I'm sure there's more) and none of them come even close to sharing the number of similarities that these two do.

3) TV MODEL AND DESIGN CHOICES While looking up references for older TVs, I found that for the exact TV they're based on (small retro box TV with knobs in the upper right of the TV and an antenna) most of the references didn't have a vent on the side of them like RGB and Mr. Puzzles do.

I looked up 4 different reference terms, and still had to scroll a while before I found one that matched exactly (above collection just a general sample/example of types of TVs I found). Unless my browsers are wigging out, either the pictures that would come up for these kinds of TVs were different in 2023, or this exact combination of features are just not very common for this style of TV. If that's the case, it may be a bit strange to design a character with those features together.

Here's where that distinction is important: Mr. Puzzles as a character doesn't have much of a reason to go with this design over other styles of similar TVs. But RGB does. The vents on the sides of RGB's head aren't just an aesthetic choice - they're included as a legitimately integral part of the story-line (Negative RGB). The same can be said for a number of other choices Modmad has made, down to individual items of clothing, that show just how much thought and intention and consideration went into every aspect of RGB's design.

Which makes it that much more frustrating to see him get plagiarized in such a careless manner by people who don't even seem to put much care into their own character (common criticism I've read that SMG4 fans have had about Mr. Puzzles and his 'arc').

4) OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOSE WHO HADN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION FROM MOD, NOTICED This has been noted by fans of both series since Mr. Puzzles first came out.

Some people may have found more points than this, but these are what I stumbled upon. Hopefully helps bring a little more context to the situation.

reblogging this version because. yeah.

yeah.

[modmad]

just to update that nobody from any of the relevant parties has got back to me or made any statement. please reblog this version, as @timmyreads has compiled an extremely comprehensive explanation and evidence of the theft; at first I just wanted to be left alone, but it's really not enough. every time I see Mr Puzzle or even read his name I feel physically sick, it's hard for me to type it even now. I feel violated in every way, and I need help. I can't save myself, I have tried every single avenue available. At this point I need to be saved.

For those saying please/just keep making TPoH anyway, it's not that simple: I can't. My mind and heart are broken. The story itself has stopped communicating with me. I cannot make it any more, not if this situation doesn't change, and that loss of the story scares me more than anything else in the world.

Studio glitch proved to be rather reputable when it comes to treating artists well, but the fandoms it produces are notoriously violent (TADC, KOG), i truly hope you get your due justice! The abuse you've endured is something NO creator should ever experience.

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like

Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don't ask about the raccoon.

[mavaris]

But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn's head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?

My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.

It’s very funny to me that Thorin (a 4ft-tall dwarf) was able to just grab Orcrist out of the troll-hoard and wield it during the Quest for Erebor— mainly because Orcrist is described as a “twin” to Gandalf’s sword Glamdring, which once belonged to King Turgon of Gondolin, who was famously the tallest of the frequently 7-ft-plus Noldor.

Scaled to an assumed height of 7’8”, even the shortest sword that Turgon reasonably could have wielded would have been nearly as tall as Thorin — which isn’t completely implausible. There are historical examples of swords that are as tall as their wielders (claymores, etc), but crucially, those swords had to be wielded in two hands. That isn’t impossible here either, but I tend to think that Thorin Oakenshield probably fought with a shield, and therefore used a much shorter one-handed sword, probably much like the “short broad sword […] and a roundshield” setup of his dwarven allies from the Iron Hills at the Battle of the Five Armies. In that case, Orcrist would have to be very short indeed for Thorin to have picked it out of the troll-hoard, probably much shorter than would be reasonable for someone of Turgon’s stature.

Out of universe, this was likely an oversight on Tolkien’s part. However, in-universe, one of the things we know about Turgon is that he was a doting grandfather to his grandson Eärendil, who very well might have thought that his grandfather’s sword was Super Cool. And that’s why I like to think that originally— before it passed through many other hands, including Thorin’s— Orcrist was a child-sized but otherwise identical replica of Glamdring, commissioned by Turgon for Eärendil’s sixth begetting day.
