Cruelty or Consequence?

Well, I never thought I’d end up writing about this, but I’ve seen way too many people drawing the wrong conclusions. Not necesarily out of stupidity or delusion, but way too many people want to put all blame of the Fall of Númenor on Pharazôn and act like sinking the rest of the island was a dick move. This is a wrong take, so let’s talk about it. Before you come at me, I have the Silmarillion and have read the Akallabeth, or Downfall of Númenor, several times, and neither of those times has it translated as “Númenor was collateral damage” or “Númenor shouldn’t have been sunk”. Númenor’s fall was triggered by Pharazôn’s actions, yes, but that was hardly the only reason for it happening. The reason for the island sinking into the sea was centuries of corruption coming to a tipping point. As we read in the Akallabeth, over time, Númenor grew jealous of the elves. Though they were descended in part from elves, had long lives, and did not succumb to illness, they did not have eternal life...

AHHHHHH Haladriel! Causing much shipping and much hate. I’ve written about them before, while season 2 was still coming out. In that essay, I talked about how I believe they were never in love with each other, or at least not in the way most shippers want them to be. At the time, season 2 hadn’t concluded, but now that it has and I rewatched it several times, especially their confrontation, I wanted to talk about them again. As discussed in previous essays, Galadriel pinned a lot on Halbrand. He was a companion, the first she believed could understand a part of everything she had gone through, he provided her with a sense of purpose, and he made her feel something other than misery for the first time in about a thousand years. So obviously, she would be deeply attached to him. I still don’t believe she loved him romantically, though. People can be attached to one another without it being romantic. As for Halbrand, Galadriel made him believe he could be redeemed. But in a twisted way wh...

The affects of parental figures on children: Travis Beast

Regal Academy, for being a kids’ show with fewer rules than kindergarteners’ games, has some very detailed characterization, naturally forming relationships, and behavior linked to the little things in their lives. I’ve done a LOT of musing on the subject, and whether accidentally or intentionally, the characters have deductible struggles and inner worlds that are strongly connected to what we know of them and their home lives. Next up: Travis A few things to get out of the way for those who don’t know Regal Academy. The show is a “fairytales are real” setup and focuses on the grandchildren of classic fairytale heroes in a school, Regal Academy, located in The Fairytale Land. The school breaks the classes up into teams and teams collect grades more on group effort and success rather than individual. Our main team consists of Rose Cinderella, Travis Beast, Astoria Rapunzel, Hawk Snow White, Joy Le Frog, and after season 2, LingLing Iron Fan. Their grandparents, with the exception of Pri...

I’ve done a LOT of musing on the subject, and whether accidentally or intentionally, the characters have deductible struggles and inner worlds that are strongly connected to what we know of them and their home lives.
