my pretty LE-bat with dissociative identity disorder
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. 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.
so finally we have started the pirate campaign and now I can post my little meow-meow Xafir, chelaxian slutty ifrit
We are creation of the One, Master of the Secret Fire, the same as you. Just as worthy of a breath of life and just as worthy of a home.
Ah, if anyone is interested, if we take the headcanon of Adar awakening at Cuivienen, he is around 5 900 years old, of which ~288 he was free & happy, and here’s the count
Years of the Trees
lasted 1 500 Valian years OR 14 373 solar years. 14 373/1500; 1 Valian year is ≈ 9,6 solar years (a little less)
Year 1050 Elves awaken at Cuivienen.
30 Valian years of peace (288 solar years) for the Elves.
Year 1080 first Orcs successfully created.
420 Valian years or 4 032 solar years in captivity until the beginning of the First Age.
First Age
lasted 590 solar years (no Valian years anymore)
Second Age, according to the show
is set ~ 1000 years after War of Wrath
288 + 4 032 + 590 + 1000 = 5 910 years old (a little less, as I rounded off the Valian/solar ratio)
since it is usually a cat who first enters the house, let the first picture will be my little meow-meow
save him pls
our pirate party ( ̄▽ ̄)旦 且(´∀`)
I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE IT'S SO SIMILAR TO HOW I FEEL DUDE YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH
especially this part!
The fire becomes real, he can sense how it flickers around them, crackles, consumes, but it stays concentrated in Sauron’s touch, heady and dizzying, nauseating and healing. The pain overwhelms the edges of his senses, he thinks he screams. He thinks, his head falls back, all the noise stolen from his lips, and the screaming lives only in his heart. He thinks he cannot quite tell where he is anymore, except that the light is inside of him, around him, and he craves it, and he hates it, and he needs. He knows.
And Sauron knows.
And he knows only Sauron.
