*Day Shall Come Again*

Mostly Tolkien, some other stuff just for flavor

[stellavesperis]

Hi friend! Welcome to my blog :)

I’m StellaVesperis, and I'm an avid linguistics nerd, musician, and Tolkien fan. I mostly post about The Silmarillion (Maglor and Maedhros especially), but honestly, my brain is such a mushy soup of interests, so you may also see me talking about:

Les Mis (and other musicals I enjoy)

Avatar: the Last Airbender

Fullmetal Alchemist

Legend of Vox Machina, Fantasy High and other DnD related shenanigans

And a few other fandoms/interests I pop in and out of :)

I’m a queer Christian, so I may also be posting religious things or gay memes as well.

I also write music, most of which is Tolkien-inspired. I hope to actually do something with it someday, but for now, it's just me and my ideas against the world XD. I'll be updating this pinned post with links to my posts about it.

Ideas for next song: The Veil of Night Draws Back

Through the Smoke

Idea: Track Titles

Death in Days Undying (lyrics)

Overture

I try to keep this blog SFW. Thanks for taking the time to stop by! :)

one thing that pisses me off greatly is the (schorlaly) misunderstanding of éowyn. i've read too many papers mentionning that éowyn was weak and that tolkien didn't write strong women and?? i'm so confused. éowyn is one of the strongest characters. she killed the witch-king and once she accomplished her goal (to gain valour in battle) she chose a peaceful life because there was no need to fight anymore. this is the opposite to weakness. she chose peace over violence?? weak people are the ones who choose violence over peace

I WANT TO KNOW YOUR SECRET

[takemewherethewildthingsare]

SERIOUSLY THOUGH WHAT ARE YOU

[detectivehole]

to pretend that horrible people cannot make good art is another way to conflate beauty and talent with integrity and morality. the works of monsters are best examined with knowledge of the author in mind but art is not inherently reflective. human beings are creative, and habitual liars- it'd be stupid to pretend art must always be a portrait of its creator

[curlicuecal]

it's also a convenient oversimplification of humans to believe that a person who is horrible in one way will be horrible in every way. people can hold terrible views in one area and have something thoughtful to say in another. people can do terrible things to one person and tremendous acts of kindness and empathy to another.

humans are fucking complicated

Longspot Gotch: Maxwell, I want you to go evict this couple and their son and possibly get shot dead while you do it.

Some guy: actually, they have a daughter.

Longspot Gotch: Ah, I hadn't heard, good for her! Maxwell, I want you to go evict this couple and their daughter and possibly get shot dead while you do it.

I never judge a book by its cover. As an empath with synesthesia, I can sense the moral constitution of a book just by smelling it. I don't even look at them before buying. I consume books voraciously and literally, I'll chew through paper faster than my own weight in termites. I am morally superior to any of you, as I consume only the most ethically pure and untainted books and have never read a problematic book in my life. I can't read at all.

[my-deer-friend]

The corollary to "you shouldn't call historical people gay because it's a modern term" is "the word friend didn't always mean what you think it means".

[my-deer-friend]

So glad you asked, @kittycattscathy! This is the short answer – I'd be happy to elaborate once I have more time, but I think this at least gives some food for thought.

These days, we use "friend" in a very specific way to mean 1) someone who is not a family member 2) who we are close with 3) in a platonic way.

In the 18th century, "friend" is less a specific category of acquaintance (non-familial, platonic) and more a signifier of the depth and closeness of the bond between two people.

Samuel Johnson (1768) gives us this definition:

"Friend" (when used to address someone directly) is a term of endearment and affection; it's a way of indicating that someone is in your inner circle without necessarily meaning "platonic non-family-member". Thus, dismissing any kind of relationship where the two parties use this term by saying "they were just friends" fundamentally misses the point of how the word was being used.

In a way, "friend" is the highest accolade. John and Abigail Adams famously refered to each other as "my friend" in places where a married couple today might say "my dear" or "my darling". The non-exhaustive list of people John Laurens called "friend" includes his father, his uncle, his sister, his favourite tutors, the man he loved and, yes, his friends (in the modern sense).

[transhumanisticpanspermia]

notably, the religious society of friends (quakers) was named when the word had this meaning. which was likely a contributing factor to why the early quakers drove the british aristocracy so fucking bonkers. bunch of people not only going around spreading hyperegalitarian values including mass lay ministry, but calling each other a deeply intimate term of endearment while doing so. ye olde hippies indeed
