My roommate has advised me to post about my day. Today I woke up and did my skincare thing. I don’t think it is working. I then finished up my symbol chart for the custom dice that I am getting for the game of “Djinnversoctoannular” which I will explain if this post gets 5 notes ^ U ^.

I then played around with my Critter & Guitari portable microphone which was very silly and whimsical. Then I called audible dot com support to try and figure out why I couldn’t download my copy of “Children of the Lamp” book 4, “The Day of the Djinn Warriors” (although that is not the next book in the series for me, which I will explain later.) Ultimately, they were unable to be of any real assistance, but they gave me a free credit which is nice. Then I went and picked up my Adderall from target.

After I got back from target I spent 4 hours trawling the internet to try and find an audiobook copy of “Children of the Lamp” book 3, “The Cobra King of Kathmandu”, which I eventually found was only available as an e-audiobook through my local library. So, I then hacked into the mainframe and piece by piece stole the audiobook mp3s. I’m quite proud of that accomplishment. Then I found out that the book was all along actually just in my family’s iTunes library. It goes to show that sometimes things are right where you left them.

Thanks for reading my post, x o x o

You know what? In hindsight, it was DEFINITELY the way Buck's death was handled in the children of the lamp series, and how much I hated the way it played out, that got me so attached to Jet (another misguided teenager full of grief and pain, manipulated and made to be/feel powerless, killed off, and then rarely mentioned again aside from a cautionary tale, despite playing an important part in the overall plot of the story up until death)

#to be clear Jet is a good character on his own and would have likely won me over anyway #but there was definitely a connection here #jet atla #dybbuk sachertorte #children of the lamp #atla #also i will add: jet was actually LESS of a major character than buck #AND YET his death was handled better! (And I say that as an adamant denier of said death) #someone get me a ouija board because I have some words to say to PB Kerr #jet #avatar the last airbender

the funniest part of the peepaw multiverse to me is imagining leonardo realising there's even MORE teenagers out there to adopt and promptly going on an interdimensional road trip to collect them all like pokemon. he's hopping through realities left and right, eighty-four teenagers in tow, with seventeen angry peepaws chasing after him because give those back right the fuck now

and it's the best time of his life

#listen my f!leo has adopted every single teenager he's met and half of donnie's bots (i have a one-shot of him bonding with the roomba) #so the idea of him breaking the laws of physics to go find MORE children and robots to adopt is very on brand #he's been through a lot and he's two mental breakdowns away from naming his lamp and considering it part of the family #rottmnt future leo #peepaw multiverse

Ok, I checked with the Book, and Silmarillion clearly states that Finarfin ruled over Noldor who stayed in Aman, and that these Noldor went to Middle Earth with Vanyar during War of Wrath. So this is absolutely an AU but imagine:

Vanyar took over Noldor lands, assimilating the leftover Noldor into their numbers.

It wouldn't even be that much of a stretch. Silm said that only every 1 in 10 elves stayed in Tirion and I doubt numbers got that much bigger when Finarfin and his people came back. Tirion definitely became a ghost town after The Flight. They had to rearrange everything! And there was a lot of grief among the Noldor: over Finwe, over family members who decided to go to ME, over the Trees (still no Sun and Moon), over the happy times that are over.

Who would want to be a ruler in this situation? Not Finarfin, that's for sure. But he's Finwe's son, so he has the bloodline. He has a bloodline, so he has a duty, and if he has a duty, there's nothing to be done. He's stuck with the job.

Then Indis/Ingwion/Ingwe himself offer to come to Tirion and help him with his kingly duties. Finarfin feels grateful, feels guilty over what Noldor did at Alqualonde (coming from a guy who Actually did nothing wrong), his wife left (him?) his side to go help her father and her people, his children Definitely left him. He accepts the help.

And Vanyar are helping! With administration and practical concerns, like where everyone should live now when a single Noldo living in their old house can have 3 streets to themselves each. But more importantly, they are messengers between Noldor and Teleri, who Finarfin Has to make amends to even if he doesn't know how. Teleri don't want to see any Noldo in their lands, so Vanyar messengers it is (Valar are unresponsive, thinking up the Sun and Moon).

Finarfin is doing a good job, but depending on what is practically another country to solve your problems is always tricky, and he isn't ambitious. Noldor are NOT doing well and are grateful for help, even if Before it would have hurt their collective pride (but then again, pride in what? Inventing murder? The morals are low). Ingwe is suggesting a deeper collaboration between their people and an general overlook over Noldor.

Why not? Finarfin is of Finwe's line, but he's also of Ingwe's. And wasn't Ingwe always the High King of all the elves in Aman? And he's feeding them cause his brothers' forces took most of their provisions and it's still dark and it will take a while before they relearn how to harvest under the stars. So while Noldor figure that out, why not give over some administrative power to Vanyar? Noldor judgement is probably still clouded by Morgoth's lies.

Things of course change when The Sun and Moon finally happen but the change happens, again, in Vanyar favour - they trusted the Valar who salvaged and restored The Light! They get things Right! Noldor want to get things Right too! (Vanyar clothing and customs become fashion with the same intensity as when Indis wed Finwe. Noldor are ashamed of themselves still. Teleri fashion is really not an option).

So by the time War of Wrath happens, Finarfin is not a High King, but a vassal to High King. And everyone is really cool with that.

Noldor of Middle Earth find that insane in a polite, half condensending and half betrayed way (like they can talk). Then Finarfin is the brother who, you know, actually DEFEATS Morgoth, so everyone has to reconsider their opinions on the matter.

Noldor who come back to Aman, by sailing or by reembodiment, experience a bigger culture shock than expected. Because even in the Blessed Realm, things change.

#silm #silmarillion #Finarfin #AU #I think all children of Finwe are very dutiful and That's what gets them insane #Feanor: marries below his station but invents things like tengwar and lamps to improve Noldor technology #Fingolfin marries a Correct Noldor lady and helps with actual ruling Lalwen can help with the court #Findis resides in Valmar so she has Vanyar scoop maybe even the Valar scoop #and Finarfin deals with Teleri #he married a Teleri princess! the best of matches! #truly sounds like a perfect configuration and a well-oiled political machine #Sons of Feanor had to get it from somewhere #but as with SoF when one part malfunctions it all goes to hell #but seriously we always show Aman more or less unchanging for simplicity's sake #and also cause that's not what silm is about it's about the Crazy Elves not the Sane Ones #but holy sh*t the political climate has the potential to be as insane as it got in ME #congratulations now Elves have to deal with History

I adore that it still comes back to kicking, really pulling us back once again to the fact that we KNOW this character, we’ve LIVED alongside this Syaoran, and so has Lava Lamp, and yet here we are in the tragic climax where he’s using these same kicks against you all the same

I think you could also get a lot of mileage out of the fact that they are mostly physically identical - and so, their kicks would be their most evenly matched of attacks. It’s the rest of it all (their swords, their souls, their magic) that’s unequal, and THOSE are the things that are a cumulation of their choices and circumstances, and so it’s THAT part of it all that will decide things in the end.

And THOSE POSES
