The Oath Of Fëanor In Fëanor A Jeho Synové

Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.

EÄRENDILOVA PLAVBA IS ON YT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL

(full english subtitles available)

"Eärendil's voyage" is the newest silm musical by the musical group Falešné společenstvo which I was so lucky to see live in Prague this January with friends (let's watch it again soon guys)

Sorry for my slow response. :) 

As you know, we are complete amateurs, so we could hardly be called celebrities (actually there are some of us that would oppose it very strongly), but it's still incredibly nice to know that our music means so much to someone outside Czechia.

I must say we are quite proud of our characterizations, especially of the more complex characters like Thingol or Maedhros - the songs really give us the space to give them the depth with which we would like for them to be perceived with. When these characters have a whole song just for their feelings a views it really gives them justice. 

Actually I just found the divided songs from Pád Doriathu on your blog, could you direct me to the others, please? :)

As for děti Děti Húrinovy two of the songs are already out as thank you to our sponsors: Země luku a přilby and Pochyby

There also will be English subtitles for the Voyage of Eärendil as soon as it appears on youtube - one of us is already working on it. 

Život a smrt isn't based on another song, or at least not knowingly - the music was composed by Filoména (formerly Bardě), one of the our best composers (the words are actually mine) - it wasn't inspired by anything but you know how music works: almost every theme was already used before so it's not impossible that it reminds you of something else. :)

Hi, I came across your blog recently and I was very surprised that you know our Falešné Společenstvo and that you even seem to be a fan of ours! That's so amazing! I'm very surprised that someone who probably doesn't speak Czech (I am basing this on your bio, sorry if I am wrong) would be so invested in our songs, but as one of the creators I am incredibly flattered! How did you even came across us?

Anyway, we are recording Húrinovy děti right now (but you probably already know that): https://www.donio.cz/album-hurinovy-deti

and there will be new musical this January (if nothing goes wrong): The Voyage of Eärendil

Hi!

I admit this is a bit like a celebrity coming across my nonsense, but yes I am a big fan!

I really enjoy the dedication to the stories, and the characterisations that are presented (especially the characterisation of Maedhros, and of Thingol in Pàd Doriathu, and the relationship of Feanor & Nerdanel in Feanor a jeho synové) and I've found them reasonably ok to understand what is happening so long as you know the story/get google to translate the songs from the sheet music.

I am extremely excited for Húrinovy děti, obviously you've seen that I divided the songs up from the videos so I'm looking forward to hearing them actually recorded (without the inevitable person coughing in the middle of a song....)

And yes I'm excited to see what The Voyage of Earendil covers! I only wish it was remotely possible to see it live, but alas, I live in Australia, so I will be happy with the videos

Also, because it's been nagging at my mind for so long, is "život a smrt" based on a different song? The tune seems familiar to me

Shadow of Nan Elmoth

Mix for Aredhel and Eöl.

Reblog if you know who Maedhros is

I have a feeling this won’t get a lot of notes, as the majority of people only know characters from the movies (which is totally fine) but I just wanted to see.

Other people, when they walk through spider web: "Ugh, now I got spider in my face!" Me, when I walk through spider web: "Who cares about a spider?? Now I got dead flies in my mouth!!!"

I want to leave the JD Vance and destiel memes aside for just a moment to tell you all guys that I, personally, as a Catholic, mourn the loss of Pope Francis.

Over the 12 years that he spent at the helm of the Holy See, Pope Francis proved himself one of the most progressive and reform-minded Supreme Pontiff we have had, perhaps ever, the pleasure of being led by.

For all his personal failings and blunders -and believe me, there's a list- he did tremendous work on dragging Canon Law and the institutions that make up the Catholic Church towards becoming a better and more modern version of themselves. I can only hope that whoever is chosen as his successor will be even half as committed to internal reform as Francis was, and that he will continue the work Francis sadly leaves unfinished.

Descanse en Paz.

Dneska má děda 97 let.

To je člověk, který poznal všechny hrůzy jak Stalinova, tak našeho socialistického režimu. Člověk, kterému zastřelili tátu během stalinistických čistek, který zažil Holodomor, nacistickou okupaci Ukrajiny, před 18. narozeninami byl odveden do Rudé armády (naštěstí se mu podařilo dosáhnout převelení do Československé zahraniční armády), přežil Duklu, zažil odsun sudetských Němců (včetně svého nenarozeného nemanželského syna) a celých těch 40 let hnusu co následovalo. A žil dost dlouho, aby se dožil i té srandy, co nabízí krásná 20. léta 21. století.

A teď by chtěl smartphone se sluchátky, aby na něm mohl poslouchat zprávy, ač neovládá ani svého aligátora s tlačítky velikosti mlýnských kamenů, a nikdo z nás mu to nedokáže rozmluvit...

Vid rec - runs in the family (the Untamed)

I just came across this on YouTube and wow does rhis vid pack a punch. So much family trauma and love, and all twisted together. The editing is fantastic but it takes a few watches to realise how well those shots go with the lyrics.

I love the Lan brothers and their desperate devotion (to anyone who'll have me... fill me up), and the match of Zidian to "we're wonderful folks" for the Jiangs. I love the running section, JGY running for office, and LWJ running for a cause, NHS running from responsibility, and JC running into debt with his new golden core. Its great editing but it takes a few watches to appreciate it.
