Chapter 12

Minas Tirith

Margaery lowered the latest letter Sansa had sent her and thought about it.

“Are you going to talk to Queen Lucy?” Loras wanted to know.

“Sansa suggested it.” Margaery admitted, her voice thoughtful. “Apparently she is now friends with the other Queen of Narnia.”

Loras smirked. “Are you jealous?”

Margaery rolled her eyes. “I am not that kind of woman.”

Loras scoffed. “Maybe we should…” Noises coming from the hallway cut his sentence, making him frown. “Stay here.” He asked his sister, hand going to his sword as he marched to the door.

Margaery waited as her brother went out of her room. She wasn’t concerned -yet -as these didn’t seem like noises of alarm.

“More Narnians arrived.” Loras informed her once he came back.

Margaery frowned. “Then why the commotion?”

“Apparently they saw Lord Boromir somewhere, and you know how Lord Denethor feels about his precious son.”

The lady hummed. She was almost sure Denethor would tell her all about it later, so she didn’t need to hurry out of the room.

However, it was likely that Queen Lucy would be a bit distracted. She’d talk to her later.

***

“I demand to know about my son’s destination!”

“I do not know where Lord Boromir was headed to.” Asterius said, not for the first time. “We met them by the Anduin and then parted ways.”

“You should have an inkling of his direction.” Denethor insisted. “Of his condition…”

“Lord Boromir seemed fine.” Asterius reported. “We did not speak for long. He gave me directions and asked me to let his family know he was alright.”

“I do not believe my son would conceal from me his destination.” Denethor pressed.

“I cannot give information I do not have, my lord.” The minotaur threw back.

“Lord Denethor, this is quite enough.” Queen Lucy stepped in front of Asterius. It did nothing to actually cover him -considering his size -but it was the gesture that counted. “Asterius brought you news of your son, and you are treating him as a criminal. I understand your concern over your son, but Asterius has nothing to gain by hiding information from you.”

The Regent sunk deeper into his chair and sighed. “Who was he with?”

“A dwarf by the name of Gimli, an elf called Legolas, a man. Aragorn was his name.”

That made Denethor straighten his chair. “Aragorn? The ranger?”

“I do not know if he was a ranger.” Asterius admitted. “Just that he was called Aragorn, and he seemed close to Master Boromir.”

Denethor mumbled something to himself, but the Narnians were soon free from the room.

“This man…” Lucy grumbled.

“He does love that son.” Edmund winced. “Poor Faramir.”

Lucy looked at Asterius. “Was he really fine?”

“I think we should have that conversation in private, my lady.”

Lucy and Edmund exchanged looks, but led Asterius to a place where they could talk. The minotaur explained to them in detail what Queen Susan had decided, how she’d given him the drop of the cordial and told him to use it at the right moment. He told them about the group’s difficulty to move out of Rohan and how they found Lord Boromir by accident.

“It was no accident.” Edmund sighed. “Susan was right and it was meant to be.”

“It was timely, that is for certain.” Asterius agreed. “They left to chase after their friends.”

Edmund nodded. “Did they ask anything?”

“They wanted to know why we were there. And also… If we knew anything about the people from Westeros.”

Edmund hummed. “Did Lord Boromir mention he met Lady Tyrell on the road?”

Asterius shook his head and Lucy scoffed softly. “I do not think it was an accident.”

“You are very convinced of this woman’s wicked powers.” Edmund observed.

She took a deep breath in. “I am sorry. There is just something about her…”

“I do not know anything about Lady Tyrell and Lord Boromir never mentioned a previous acquaintance.” Asterius spoke up, distracting the siblings from the previous topic. “However, I wish to talk to Lord Faramir. His brother asked me to talk to him. Had I known his father was…”

“That is a whole other thing.” Edmund nodded in understanding.

“Let us look for Lord Faramir.”

***

“I feel like he is lying to me.” Denethor grumbled.

Margaery held in a sigh. “Lord Denethor.” She called softly. “Lord Boromir is a smart man. Why would he tell a stranger his destination?” She indicated. “Especially a stranger that hails from another land.”

Denethor scoffed.

Margaery had been thinking a lot about what Sansa had written in her letter. The son of the King of Rohan was dead, and the man himself was not well. His heir had been banished from the land, and she was going to try and find him.

Margaery wasn’t a strategist - not when it came to war - but perhaps the whispers they were hearing really meant something darker was coming.

Denethor himself was convinced the days of Gondor were numbered, but she could hardly tell if it was paranoia or something else.

She couldn’t tell if open war was really that close or not.

However, it would take days for a letter to arrive in King’s Landing and even longer for an army. If things were as urgent as some seemed to think they were, it might not be enough time.

But dragons could fly there faster.

Margaery covered Lord Denethor’s hand with hers. “My lord. What if I write to my Queen and kindly ask her to come with her dragons?”

***

Lucy watched as Lord Faramir talked to Asterius, clearly pleased to hear from his brother.

She hadn’t met Lord Boromir, but it turned her stomach to hear Lord Denethor talking of his eldest son as if he was the only one. He seemed to think Faramir was weak willed, not as brave or as strong as his brother. He also made no secret of that.

It made Lucy’s heart squeeze painfully. Faramir was a kind and caring man, and she didn’t believe for a minute that the Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien wasn’t a brave man, willing to fight for his country.

The man in question had finished his conversation with Asterius and walked up to her, a smile on his lips. “Your Majesty.” He bowed her head.

“Lord Faramir.” She smiled back. “I hope Asterius’ words gave you confort.”

“More than I dared to hope.” He admitted. “I am glad to hear that my brother if fine.”

“Are you two close?” She asked, interested.

“We are. Boromir has been nothing but a great example and inspiration to me.”

“I see.”

Faramir made a gesture to indicate she should start walking, then took his place next to her. “He is a great man.”

“But so are you.” She told him.

Faramir’s laughter was a bit strained, even as he blushed. “You are too kind, my lady.”

“I only speak the truth, Lord Faramir.”

He cleared his throat. “We hardly know each other.”

“That is so.” She agreed. “However, I tend to have a good eye for these things.”

Faramir’s smile this time was soft, his eyes gentle. Lucy felt a tug on her heart.

***

“Hum.”

“My King?” Asterius asked, turning to Edmund.

“Hum.”

The minotaur frowned. “Is something wrong?”

Edmund’s eyes were fixed on his sister and Lord Faramir. “Not really. I just have a… Feeling.”

I like how Vinny’s idea of a fix-it AU for Game of Thrones in his most recent Tears of the Kingdom stream was to just turn it into the plot of Xenoblade 1 and 3 FR, and everyone in chat including me immediately called him out for it.

Relevant bit I’m paraphrasing starts here.

The 10 commandments for anyone who is a fan of anything. Original vs adapted:

One: No adaptation is the same as the original content. Adaptation, of course, is not the same as the original content. Adaptations never are, and range from mild to severe distortions in relation to the work that gave rise to it.

But adaptations have this proposal, to fit in a different format. It would be unusual and bizarre for me to see an adaptation and find it 100% identical to the book, which is impossible.

(Even audio book, I can listen and think "when I read this I imagined another voice intonation", it's complicated on that level!).

Two: Most people don't read anything, it's not specific to some authors or works, but in general. There are far more fans of adaptations, in general, than of books.

Of course there is, it takes you a few hours to consume an adaptation, it usually takes longer to read. That's why movies and series spread faster.

Three: Childishness, criticizing and trying to belittle those who only follow adaptations in general (there are countless adaptations of different literary content, imagine if I start criticizing you for having liked an adaptation of a book I love? Complicated.

-So you haven't consumed any kind of adaptation throughout your life? You wouldn't have the internet, or TV, or radio, or anything).

Four: Everyone has the right to criticize the content either positively or negatively, freedom of opinion is that. But attacking each other is not opinion, it is verbal violence. We need to remember that the same right that some have to hate the content, the other has to love. No reprisals.

Five: Adaptations spread the content to a wider audience, and at least a part of this audience ends up consuming the original work (adaptations usually mean more book buyers, no wonder a work with adaptation has a sales "boom" in its content literary).

Good, that means more fans for the original work.

Six: It's ridiculous when there are fans who think they are more fans because they read while others don't. This always demonstrates how the person's objective is to enhance their own ego, because if they were really going to spread the original content, such person would explain it calmly and patiently, urging those who have only seen adaptations to read the book on the basis of sensible and friendly dialogue, on the basis of to leave the person intrigued and curious, not the toxic thing that exists in several fandoms of "thinking you're superior because read"

(it's ridiculous, because there are likely several titles that I may have read and you don't, imagine if I "enter one of humiliate you" for that? For example, would you think it valid for someone who dislikes the literary genre you like, to humiliate you just because he thinks differently from you and likes something else? I don't think so, right? It wouldn't be cool. Trying to humiliate someone is ignorance and pettiness).

Seven: It is the general consensus of all readers, of any literary genre, that "the books are better than the adaptation". Rare and surprising the opposite happens.

So when a fan says "the book is better", it's not news to anyone, friend.

Furthermore, an adaptation hardly "destroys the author's legacy", on the contrary, the author remains immaculate in its textual form.

Adaptations usually bring in new fans, and at best divide the audience between "those who are fans of the book" and "those who prefer the adaptation". In this case, everyone can stay in their "corner" without being verbally offended.

Eight: There is no such thing as a "right side" or "owner of the truth". There are differing opinions, which is totally viable in a free society. Respecting the opinion of others, even if it is different from what you have, is called cordiality, good manners and sensible manners towards others. Only extremist and toxic societies play people against each other and nullify dissenting opinions just because they "don't think alike, or don't agree". It is possible to live in peace without creating strife with those who "think differently".

Nine: Adaptations, when the content is still "copyrighted", need the blessings of the rights holders. The objective is commercial in all cases. An adaptation is not produced without expecting a financial return, so the distortions in adaptations are not intended to "annoy the fans" but rather aim to attract the largest possible audience, not just "fans of the book".

And in cases of works in the Public Domain, EVEN MORE DISTORTIONS are expected because anyone can use the content.

That's why fans of different content agree that there are two types of content: the Canonical (written by the original author, considered as "official" and "true" material) and the Non-Canonical (written by other authors, adaptations, rereadings, remakes, illustrations that are not by the original author even if it is in the original work, fanarts, fanfics, and "unofficial" content, that is, everything beyond what the original author imagined). In most fandoms both worlds coexist relatively well.

Ten: Works, in general, undergo a reinterpretation of the public that consumes them, both on a collective and individual level. This means that even though you and I have read the same book, we can have different interpretations of the same content. That's because achieved what is individual in each of us. We can discuss the same scene from any work, at some point we will disagree and infer our own and personal opinions that cross our repertoire of life. For example, we can hear the same song or see a painting, and bring a different interpretation of the same sound or art. The same goes for scenes in books, movies and series.

So, you are expected to stick with your interpretation, to seek even people who think like you. But never believe that this is the only viable and absolute interpretation.

my toxic trait is focusing more on the music when watching a tv show or a film than the actual storyline

“Why are you looking at the lass?”

“Is it that obvious?”

“Obvious? I think her sister is about to throw a dagger at you.”

“It is difficult to explain.”

“I might not be as smart as you elves think you are, but even I don’t believe it is that hard to explain.”

“I didn’t think it’d be this way.”

“No man ever does, lad.”

“I think the elf doesn’t want to keep his eyes on his face.”

“Arya…”

I've discussed before the similarities between President Alma Coin in The Hunger Games trilogy and Daenerys Targaryen, but I saw these two films in the past week and these two villains share even more similarities (where they are overt and not hiding the violence they're willing to commit to get what they want):

The Chronicles of Riddick:

youtube

The Lord Marshall tells them to convert/bow or die.

"Join him or join me." Him being the guy he's just killed.

*nearly everyone bows*

"He's not a man. He's the holy Half Dead who has seen the Underverse."

Thor: Ragnarok

youtube

"It's come to my attention that you don't know who I am. I am Hela, Odin's first born, commander of the Legions of Asgard, the rightful heir to the throne, and a goddess of death."

"My father is dead, as are the princes, you're welcome. We were once the seat of absolute power in the cosmos, our supremacy was unchallenged, yet Odin stopped at nine realms. Our destiny is to rule over all others and I am here to restore that power. Kneel before me and rise into the ranks of my great conquest."

"I thought you'd be happy to see me."

Since they won't kneel and are intent on fighting her, she kills them all.

Now, looking at these two different scenes with two different characters in two different universes, what do they have in common (besides having Karl Urban in both films)?

A villain that has some sort of magical/otherworldly ability that gives them an edge over the common person. They have used that ability and the belief of others around them (as well as belief in their own grandeur) to launch themselves into iconic status, someone/something above all others, and strike down anyone who opposes/questions them. Spreading their rhetoric (forcefully) that encourages a togetherness/joining but that would help each villain attain their actual goal: pure conquest and absolute power.

Sound familiar?

"I offer you a choice. Bend the knee and join me. Together, we will leave the world a better place than we found it. Or refuse and die."

"I am the Last Targaryen, Jon Snow."

*when the people are crying out to the Lannisters to save them from her*

*when the people don't immediately greet her with love, she has her dragons fly overhead to scare the Northerners*

While there are plenty of examples of the foreshadowing present since season 1, how can anyone who is still in denial that Dany was going to go dark no matter when this show ended or how it ended, look at the two examples above and not see the similarities in setting up similar villainous characters within a story?

Showverse!Daenerys was always set up to be the true villain.

This is how that particular shade of tyrants work. (and this is why Emilia studied Hitler's speeches before that scene)
