Because my latest accidental interest is chemical weapons, and because all my interests end up infected with a Tolkien angle, I present to you this: the Nazgûl attacks as interpreted as a form of chemical warfare.
This lines up well both with the Nazgûl ability to inflict fear on a mass scale and with the impacts of the Black Breath. People don't necessarily know what they're facing or what's happening to them, but both the experience and even the threat of it are terrifying. It also allows the obvious evocation of WWI gas warfare, though not, say, accompanied by the physical effects of chlorine or mustard. The Black Breath has both psychological and physiological effects which require medical treatment, and this description I think could be applied essentially unchanged to instances of chemical warfare:
At length even the stout-hearted would fling themselves to the ground as the hidden menace passed over them, or they would stand, letting their weapons fall from nerveless hands while into their minds a blackness came, and they thought no more of war, but only of hiding and of crawling, and of death.
I also think it would be fun if athelas (which treats the Black Breath) was a member of the nightshade family (which includes sources of natural atropine, which can treat the effects of exposure to certain chemical agents). This would put the Black Breath in the second generation of chemical agents, maybe a type of organophosphate nerve gas
how did you know about mcr beetlejuice soundtrack two weeks ago?
lol nothing fancy, i have imdb pro and snooped around gerard’s page (he’s just doing piano stuff it says). there’s also one more thing he seems to be working on for another movie
Apologies for this taking so long it was just a complete faff to sort out but I do have prints available for all designs on my Redbubble so if you’d like to support me I’d love if you’d check it out!
still reeling from the one agent saying they want "subtle" fairy tale retellings like Cinder, and idk if we're thinking about the same Cinder there are literally quotes from the og fairy tale before the corresponding chapters?????? so you know exactly where we are in the plot??????
im thinking abt agent stone. if he replaces eggman it makes SO much sense for him to use shadow as his weapon because theyve both lost someone they love and want revenge in their name. im trying rlly hard to NOT think abt sonic movie 3 bc if it turns out bad i dont wanna be totally Devastated after getting my hopes up. but ohhhhh. ohhh man. the more i think about it the crazier i feel i love u so much agent stone please please please just be the best villain ever u deserve it king
because of how many people thought i was talking about rainbow dash when mentioning agent rainbow....:
“I dunno why you’re so attached to the name ‘Rainbow,” Lucas says. “It’s not even a real name.”
“I’m attached to it because it’s mine,” says Rainbow. “And who died and made you the top authority on what counts as a ‘real' name or not? It could be a real name,” he argues.
“Tch, yeah, in a cartoon made for little girls, maybe,” Lucas retorts.
There’s a short, strangled sound from the radio’s speakers. “…I’m glaring at you really hard right now, just so you know,” Rainbow grumbles.
British Kobra Kid this and southern twang Party Poison that, its all fun and games meanwhile we all know its a Fact that Cherri Cola is texan and has that cowboy accent. The poetry corner sounds like the narration at the beginning of a monochrome western film.
