Test prints for the first linol cut I’ve done since 2017 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
OK, so this is from the post-Silm version, I think but a lot of Tolkien's thoughts on the interesting stuff (mostly about Morgoth)
Some highlights:
I didn't read the first part in detail, I've had enough with the later parts (yes, I read it out of order)
ósanwe is not clear mind-reading! It's much, much less. This solves so many problems! I love this idea and will accept it (this was the pleasant part and now it ends)
yes, gold is a particularly evil element
Hiding of Valinor was a bad idea, but not really. Huh. Professor, I think you're trying to have two things at once again but ok… So it is a bad idea as written in the Silm, but this is the fault of the narrative frame, and also Manwë is much wiser than the book makes him look. Huuuh. There is a limit to how much authorial intent I can take. I am not buying it, I am sorry, I just can't wrap my mind to it. I love the guy, but I can't agree that he made no mistakes, and it's just Pengolodh or whatever. Doesn't work for me. Sorry.
I am sad. Yes, I know, I know. I know. And I am sad anyway. Call me dumb. I don't care. I am frigging sad.
Yes this is the part I am ignoring (well ok one central part of it and basically the whole background he is putting into it, the datails are optional to ignore)
This makes me sad. It makes no sense. (Not very sad, just… idk. I get it, just… idk. I guess I prefer my extremely weird hc. Also, again, if Tolkien's writing style and characterisation was more coherent, maybe. Idk. Idk. )
Oh, and also Void is not outer space, it's out of spacetime, but was Morgoth really thrown there, or is it just Pengolodh saying things? Tolkien won't tell us.
(And yes, that's the version where Námo actually executed him, I'm glad it was Námo, not sure why. He can handle difficult stuff?)
Anyway, enjoy!
I’m finally home are we talking about the ways we absolutely fucked over our muses’ lives in the royal AU?
love how nathan was the most random villain in the whole trc verse but at least he slayed with one of his twenty lines. the rest was just incomprehensible nonsense
telling people in the same time zone as you to sleep
Being a young, hot woman but spending my night reading a naturalist’s guide to Australian birds and eating Allen’s spearmint leaves like someone’s retired grandfather lol
i haven’t done cool makeup in soooo long
