Gotta Go Brag My Latest Sauron/Adar Fic Then

boys in uniform are my everything

that feeling when you created a character for a new campaign, asked the GM to damage his face in the first few sessions… and then drew him and now you don't know if it's worth it

I'm weak

I'm so weak

@primevideo pls kick someone up there to release a note that'd say Joseph Mawle is okay and was not recast in "Rings of Power" for any health issues or smth like that

I can't reach you on Twitter. We're nervous here, pls give people some explanation

I've been ignoring the voice

Begging me seek and destroy

It's eating my core

I feel like a time bomb in the eye of a storm

In case anybody needs it, the singular form of “Moriondor” would seem to be “Moriondo”

Like

Valar / Vala

Maiar / Maia

Eldar / Elda

aldar / alda (tree), etc.

So, Moriondo (I won’t be diving into explanation, I’m not at all a Quenya knower, I’ll drown there myself :D)

For me, his death was not cynical. I didn’t see a single sign that the creators of the series treated him cynically or wanted to kill him just to shock the audience. This was in the cards from the very beginning. Even with how expected such an ending was for Adar, it is a very, very bitter storyline. As Poppy said – some things simply cannot be dealt with; they are above and stronger than us. This ending is brutal, but it is much more realistic precisely because in epic fantasy, we expect the hero to win, and that’s okay. In this regard, Adar is much closer to the brutality found in non-epic works. It’s terrible, unfair, nightmarish, but life is an unfair and cruel thing. That’s how I see it.

Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless. His life was spent in suffering alongside Morgoth and Sauron; he witnessed how they killed and tormented his children, he was tortured too. For a brief moment, they freed themselves from Sauron's power, and Adar did everything to ensure that Uruks did not fall under his control again. He was ready to turn them against him, to feel their distance and their waning love for him, he was prepared for them to kill him, just so they wouldn’t become slaves again.

He dies right after realizing that the ring could heal him, after a new path opened up for him in alliance with Galadriel. Sauron looks at him and Adar understands that Sauron has won, and that everything that came before was in vain.

This is an absolute, total nightmare and shattering of all hopes.

I understand that for many this might be a frustrating ending; it is indeed emotionally incredibly heavy, and it’s normal to feel sadness or anger! I would say that in Game of Thrones there is an extreme level of brutality, whereas here it’s still not as prevalent, which is something to be thankful for. I wouldn’t agree that his death is entirely meaningless. Yes, he lost his battle for the Uruks. But thanks in part to his involvement, Galadriel gained a lot of understanding about her own behavior and found her inner light, and through this, Adar - at least for a while - felt like his old self, healed from Sauron’s influence. And for several centuries, he and his children lived free from Sauron’s influence, which is also important. So, in my opinion, globally, Adar did lose to Sauron, but the moments of clarity in his life are still significant and should not be forgotten.

Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless.
