Everyone look at the minecraft skin I’m using
i remembered i was working on this animatic last year that i'm never gonna finish now, so i decided to upload what i have
c!sam as javert in stars well Yes
recently started reading southern reach (saw annihilation at book store and decided to pick it up because I felt like I'd heard of it before) and went searching on Tumblr trying to figure out who could've Possibly put me on to reading the series. with only some degree of uncertainty I can say it was probably you, so thank you for helping me stumble across this series! I'm really enjoying it so far :)
AWESOME. That reminds me I gotta read book 4
yknow it's 2026 im not justifying my shit with essays anymore. why was it actually like such a hot take to say that "vengeful!cdream" post-prison takes were kind of inaccurate as fuck. yeah sure he's a planner but since WHEN did this man need one year of obsessive planning of every detail to carry out one (1) plot hello have you seen him. c!dream is a strategist but he's specifically a very reactive character with a great skill at putting things together on the fly and pretty fucking impulsive and maneuvering the playing field to keep it in his favor. if he wanted revenge on everyone so bad he could yknow JUST DO THAT???????????
Hear me out. Feanor and the Amazing Technicolor Silmarils. Featuring hits such as
“FEANOOORRR! Feanor and sons!”
“We are just seven brothers / Good men and true / though we know we’ll do some kinslaying / To get to a jewel”
Finrod's Song (2001 Russian Rock Opera adaptation of parts of the Silmarillion/Lay of Leithian)
For the past month and change I have been in a bit of a Tolkien phase. I say this casually, but this has encompassed not only rereading the Silmarillion in far deadlier earnest than I even managed in my youth, but also watching a number of obscure film and other Tolkien adaptations.
Now, no one has the rights from the estate to adapt the Silm. Luckily, some intrepid Russians don't care, and there exist not one but two rock opera versions of the Lay of Luthien. I wish to tell you about one of them: "Finrod", or "Finrod's Song".
There are a number of versions on youtube, here are my two favorites: the first has better audio, the second has far more staging and is slightly rearranged. They have English subtitles. If you just want to read a translation, here you go.
It's great and you should watch it.
There is something about the stories told in the Silmarillion that is enhanced by my inability to speak the language they’re presented in. Naturally, I think, I shouldn’t natively understand the meaning of the words Finrod and Sauron sing; naturally, reading along to various translations gives me a sense of poetry where a deeper meaning is right beyond my grasp. It just feels right.
This is a telling of part of the Lay of Leithian, just the bits where Finrod is involved. Beren meets Luthien and goes to Finrod for help to get a Silmaril; Finrod keeps his oath to help and loses his crown, a song battle, and then his life. Luthien saves Beren.
Incidentally, there’s no Morgoth. Some productions just give Sauron (who in this case would be Saur-goth? Mor-ron? You decide) the Silmarils and the iron crown so that Beren has something to steal at the end; some merely elide them altogether, which means that Beren doesn’t even get to complete his quest.
Thingol is a smug dick; in some versions he even conspires with Curufin and Celegorm and promises to marry Luthien off to one of them, not something he’d ever dream of in the Silmarillion. Melian has a banger song calling him out for his shit, at least.
Beren is a wild and bitter man, which feels right for the last survivor of his people. He tells Luthien he’s betrothed to death and all sorts of metal stuff like that. He shoves his ring in Finrod’s face with the expectation of betrayal.
The sons of Feanor have a cool song where they get to yell about their oath.
You had better already know the story before getting into this one. You had better already know what the Silmarils are, what Finrod’s history is, who Amarie is (the show draws on her to compare Finrod and Beren vis a vis love as a motivating force), who the Noldor are and what they have done, because this production has little interest in telling you.
In some ways, though, you don’t really need to know those things to taste the shape of what’s happening. Do you need it explained that when Sauron and Finrod sing somewhat obliquely about memory and slavery, power and creation and morality, that Finrod’s haunted by his complicity in the kinslaying at Alqualonde? Do you need it explained that when Finrod changes his clothes to a white robe and sings an aria entitled “The Truth”, that he’s sacrificing himself for Beren by killing a werewolf (not depicted)? Maybe you do… and maybe it doesn’t matter.
They look GREAT I LOVE THEM THEY'RE PERFECT LOOK AT MY BOYS AHAHAHA SO MUCH EYE MAKEUP don't you want to watch these guys sing.
I need everyone in the world to know about the not one but TWO Russian rock opera adaptations of the lay of leithian
In the past ~3 weeks I have watched twelve different lesser-known Tolkien adaptions and these two are far and away my favorites

Have we considered that maybe Sauron did nothing wrong. Hashtag numenor had it coming
I’m going through a very powerful LOTR phase right now btw.
I am actually incredulous that Rings of Power said hey let’s do a little bit of Sauron in his early 2nd Age halfhearted redemption phase, and you know what there should be a romantic tease with some powerful elf he could respect, and then they picked GALADRIEL for this when CELEBRIMBOR is RIGHT THERE
I request Sam And Dream. Sam installing the glass.
Anything for you kat katsidhe

never getting over just how much cdream trusted csam. not even just in the sense that they were friends once, but in the simple matter of his moral character. he thought he could safely put complete power over him in csam’s hands and csam would wield it justly. the complete shattering of that trust is something cdream took a while to come to terms with, but it cut deep. he even started to doubt ctechno. because if his assessment of csam had been so so wrong, then what if his assessment of ctechno was too? he’s surprised that ctechno came back for him, he didn’t think he’d come. cdream had put just as much reliance on the belief that csam would keep a fair watch over him as he put in the belief that ctechno would honor his word, those were things he was so certain of because he relies on his ability to understand and predict people. that ability failing him? him miscalculating to this degree? how could he have let this happen? it impacts every single thing he does after he escapes, every interaction is laced with a slight bit of doubt, because csam didn’t just break cdream’s trust in the people he thought he knew but also the trust cdream had in himself
every now and then i scroll through some of your arc tags (god bless your tagging system) and get to see all the fun commentary and amazing meta and stunning art and it reignites my love for the dsmp story again. so just, thank you for being a part of this fandom
