Some of y’all really don’t know the difference between an adaptation and an interpretation. Nolan’s Odyssey is not a good adaptation. It’s an ok movie by itself, but to cut out so many scenes crucial to the story and how Homer chose to portray it in the book… let’s just say it was a rather bold choice. I’m especially unhappy about the erasure of the gods as characters in the movie. Athena is one of the most important characters in the book and Poseidon’s wrath is the reason for Odysseus’ entire prolonged journey. I understand that it was a conscious decision and in any other case perhaps it would’ve been a great one. But this is Greek mythology we’re talking about. The entire story is based around the idea of the gods interfering with the lives of men (especially in the Trojan war and that it started because of them). To take away the religious aspects of the Odyssey is to take away the lessons Ancient Greeks were supposed to learn from it

I got the transcendent too!

you live and live and live without ceasing. you don't think you know how to stop. pain and grief find you in their measures, and leave their marks, but never so much as to allow you to be made in a new shape. death comes for you in a thousand guises and you evade it each and every time: there is joy, too, in living against the odds. you fear the end, and fear equally that there is no end, and you will be here forever to be battered by the sorrow of centuries. continue on, continue loving without terror for the future: those you care for may not be with you indefinitely, but once given, care can never be unmade, and there can always be joy amidst trial. companions include: elrond, celebrían, galadriel, celeborn, finarfin, melian.

I had a dream in which the Silmarillion was adapted into a movie, except everyone was played by Cate Blanchett in different wigs

My spouse and I just had one of those “wait your brain works HOW?” exchanges, and now I am BURNING TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS FOR OTHER PEOPLE:

Fellow speakers of this feral bastard language (English), rb and tell me in the tags: what is the delineation for you, if any, between evening and night?

[selyas]

Evening for me starts when I notice it’s getting dark outside and it ends when I go to sleep. From then on it’s night

Why are y’all obsessed with pretending that the elves are all supposed to look like women?

On the contrary, I think elven women and elven men definitely differ in appearance. I said feminine, not like a woman. There’s a difference. (For example the Targaryen men in asoiaf, who are also often feminine-coded, but you wouldn’t call them women). But they are literally described as incredibly beautiful creatures. Tolkien gave them long hair and no body hair in canon, which I think you can understand are traits mostly associated with femininity. They’re not supposed to look like men, that’s what I can tell you for sure

[selyas]

I’m kinda glad that there isn’t a Silmarillion movie or series, because if they casted anyone but the most feminine-coded, absolutely beautiful man for Finrod, all the flowers would wither I fear

I’m not defending the Fëanorians, the kinslayings are still their fault, but some Elwing stans are really acting as if a female character having flaws is just inconceivable. Elves have a long record of making terrible decisions, because they failed to foresee how their choices can impact people around them. Now, I do believe the silmarils have some addictive qualities about them and Elwing was probably driven by the desire to keep it regardless of her own opinion on the matter. But M&M didn’t attack out of a sudden either. I think a lot of people forget that they literally asked for the jewel first, with the intention of avoiding bloodshed (because yes, they knew staining their hands with blood wasn’t worth it). Elwing refused to give up the silmaril though. It doesn’t make her at fault for the kinslaying and death of her people, it’s just that she’s not entirely without agency here

Elwing made a choice influenced by her panic and desperation. But yeah, god forbid she’s a complex character. Let her be a little selfish too, it doesn’t automatically make her evil

Gods, I love writing characters with powerful mothers. Even if they’re dead, they become the inspiration, the reason to continue forward. She brought you into this world, dude, now you have to make her proud. I love when my OC comes from a powerful bloodline, but the boots they can’t really fill belong to their mother. Why should the absent/dead father always play the mentor role? Why shouldn’t it be the sweet, too good for this world mom? Let her be strong! Let her memory and past achievements be the drive to accomplish the impossible. She doesn’t need to be cold or manly or violent. She can be a witch, a genius scientist, a rebellion leader, a strategist or a diplomat. Being a good mother doesn’t define her. It’s just one of the things that makes her so great.

Please read this short culture appreciation post

As a white girl who was raised by a Chinese couple, I decided to share my experience growing up. I love the Chinese culture (I’m biased) and my parents are simply wonderful, but they never neglected to teach me about my own roots. Since I was around 4, when I was adopted, I could easily learn mandarin, but also forget my beautiful native language. My parents, however, made sure that I speak Polish fluently, in case I ever wanted to reconnect with my country. So, even though growing up around East Asians as a blond hair, blue eyed kid was… an interesting experience and many times people immediately assumed I can’t speak mandarin (it’s the language I know the best, but I understand; looks can be deceiving). Still, I love the culture I was raised in as well as the one I was born into. Race never mattered. My parents are and always will be my real ones (even if we’re not really related). They showed me that tradition and family knows no bounds, skin colours or borders. I may have been born in Warsaw, but my heart belongs to Hong Kong where my home is.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes. English is obviously not my first language.

one of the worst feelings in fandom is when the canon version of a character is one of your favorites ever but their fanon interpretation is just something you want to dropkick into a dying star and watch it all go supernova hopefully from close enough that it will obliterate you and your memory of what the fandom did to them in the process
