What Was I Doing Again?

Warning: my mind is like a ping-pong table. Expect no order in what I post or reblog, and huge splurges of a single subject followed by complete coldness towards that same subject. Happily Catholic and in love with Jesus.

Another unfinished thought: 

The Lord of the Rings isn’t just a blend of narrative styles, it’s a melding of narrative paradigms. The Elves are in a tragic story; events that involve them are characterized by beauty and sorrow. The Men are in a heroic story; their elements are weakness and strength. The Hobbits are in a comic story and their elements are fear and comfort.

Further: Merry and Pippin, having spent most of their story with Men, get an ending in the heroic paradigm: triumph, coronation, social order restored and renewed. Sam gets the hobbit ending: marriage and homecoming. And Frodo just walks straight off into an Elvish story.

Well said. Cheers.

Anonymous asked:

hi molly! how do you tell whether its pedro or his stunt doubles in a scene?

Here’s what I use to characterize each person in the suit.

PEDRO

  • Broad shoulders, but with a thinner waist and smaller legs. (A.1)
  • Tilts helmet further up in close-up shots rather than tilting it down. (A.2)
  • Usually shifts weight onto one leg or hip. (A.3)
  • Places hands on hips or belt for emphasis.
  • Curls fingers and swings arms, especially while walking.

BRENDAN

  • Appears slightly taller with a physique that’s more slender and more balanced throughout. (B.1, B.2)
  • Typically keeps hand hovered over blaster or close to sides. (B.3)
  • Folds hands over belt/stomach. (B.4)
  • Distributes weight evenly to both legs. (B.1)
  • Usually tilts the helmet downwards and to the side more when interacting with others.

LATEEF

  • Broad shoulders with a very thin waist, also appearing on the shorter side. (C.1, C.2, C.3)
  • Keeps arms further from sides and holds them out wide, with fingers and thumbs separated rather significantly. (C.3)
  • Typically reserved for action scenes.

Hey all, long time no post. It's been difficult to make finished pieces recently for various reasons, but I can tell you that I'm working on an Emet-Selch art book.

And here I present, the very first completed piece. Hades being comforted in the lifestream by the soul of the 14th, after the battle on the First Shard.❤️

I'm really excited about this project, it's really got me motivated and my figure drawing is coming on leaps and bounds because of it too!

A high-res version will be available to Patrons, as well as full views of all future pieces, until the book is open for orders.

Previews will still be shared publicly, but if you wish to have early access, my Patreon link is posted below.

I think my favorite inference from Amaurot is that both Amaurotine!WoL and Emet-Selch participated in helping to contain and clean up the breach at Akadaemia Anyder. If Emet-Selch remembers it in so much detail that he dedicated a part of Nostalgia Amaurot to it and made it so that you, specifically, are meant to experience it, it follows that he may have been trying to jog your memory regarding that specific event.

It’s a small thing, but paints an interesting picture of the convocation–or at least the both of you–during the End Times. If you were both willing to rush into danger to help the students (and the city) to the best of your ability, it tells the tale of two bright-eyed idealists… who took two different paths and ended up very different because of it. One is overcome with twisted sentimentality and single-minded focus on helping those long dead, the other implicitly gave themselves up to stop the sacrifice and continues to jump to help anyone and everyone even now. It’s fascinating.
