For the ask game, would you do🧵, 🎼, & 🗡 for Finrod? Thank you!

HEADCANON ASKS

🧵Tailoring

It is difficult for one of the Ñoldor to take up a craft without it consuming their lives. Typically, and especially amongst the princes, one will try their hand at all manner of crafts during their childhood education, and select their primary craft before adolescence. Afterwards, they would practice that craft as a profession, and others would go with limited to no practice. Casual crafting hobbies were uncommon. Finrod, however, despite having already a primary craft, took up another in his adolescence— clothing-making. Many of the robes he wears are his own design and construction, and he enjoys mixing fabrics and textures for interesting results— however, he had little desire to innovate or to take it too seriously.

This uncommon trait of having a rather intricate craft as a mere side-hobby was typically attributed to his Falmarin side— and that wasn’t entirely incorrect. Much of Finrod’s clothing took inspiration in cut, style, and composition from the clothing of Alqualondë, but with Ñoldorin motifs and heraldic colors— suitable for Tirion, but with the comfort of Alqualondë.

And this really was the main focus of it all— Finrod wished to prioritize comfort and found the Ñoldorin clothing styles and regalia of Tirion too complex and uncomfortable for him. So he made clothing for himself that could measure up to that of the other Ñoldorin princes, while at the same time remaining comfortable and quick to don and disrobe. Naturally, the primary way he maintained the level of finery with less complicated layering was through the liberal use of gems and embellishments.

🎼 Song-Pictures

Finrod was skilled in Songs of Power from his early youth. While not so much a lyricist or composer as others of his kin he was a brilliant performer in a similar vein to his elder half-cousin. Finrod, like Maglor, could use his music to influence others, but where Maglor’s was more of an emotional persuasion, Finrod’s spell-singing dealt more with perception.

Rather than projecting the feelings themselves, Finrod’s Songs of Power were instead storytelling devices. His Song could take one’s mind to another place as if they were truly there, even if they have never seen what the song portrays. He can also create illusions with his Song, as a somewhat lesser power. But the true skill comes in his ability to show things to others. It was through Finrod’s Songs that the Edain truly learned of the bliss of Valinor, and many things they could not have otherwise known— the power of Finrod’s voice and playing could all but take them there, and allow them to feel, if only for a short time, the same loss that the Exiles knew.

In a terrible twist of this, during his battle with Sauron, Finrod’s own power and ability was deflected back on him. Sauron used the very same methods that Finrod used to transport him back to Alqualondë during the Kinslaying— and it was this despair and this memory that brought him to defeat.

🗡 Weapons Knowledge

Where many of his kin were skilled in one or two types of weapons, Finrod had a more rounded repertoire. While well-versed in the Ñoldorin weapons— sword, spear, bow, and staff— he also became somewhat proficient in Dwarven and Mannish weaponry as well, willingly learning to use the weapons that his friends and allies had developed, and even incorporating the wielding of such weaponry into the training of his followers, and proficient wielders into his battle-arrays.

His weapon of choose was a two-handed curved sword— but often in combat, one would find Finrod fighting with his sword upon his back. He much preferred unarmed combat and became a very skilled practitioner of martial arts— so that he could take down a great many of his opponents with his bare hands alone, without getting so much as a tear in his robes.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it.#sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd.#i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist!#something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

#personal #sbs rambles #eta: the people tagging this with leverage are correct by the way #love that show so much #hug for morale!#but that's not what started me doing this I think #hmmm

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

#i love replaying certain scenes (usually screams) to see how they nailed it in other dubs #ive done it with Chilchuck & Mickbell screams because they're the funniest ones #give it a shot if you can #its really funny to hear certain character voices in other languages #for example. brazilian portuguesse gave both mickbell and chilchuck un-childlike voices (in japaneese both sound like little childs)#and they reused Chilchuck's japaneese screams for most of the other languages because he is so high-pitched and full of terror that it work #dungeon meshi #chilchuck #chilchuck tims #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi #senshi of izganda #senshi dungeon meshi #idk how do you people screen record the episodes #if i knew how to i would put the shots here #my shit #thanks to the one that made the clip on Chil's scream im in love here <3

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

#how the fuck do i tag this #psa #artist psa #art psa #clip studio paint #clip studio paint ex #mac artist #artists on tumblr #illustration #signal boost #please for the love of god do NOT do this for five years it will crush your entire soul and spirit

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed

#i will argue this point til my dying breath #they always loved each other #if you think the kiss was the only proof #then i adviae you to reexamine the relationship #the kiss wasn't romantic anyway #it was desperate and painful #it was a last ditch effort from crowley because he loves aziraphale so much #but it was not the confession #he'd already confessed his feelings #the kiss was never necessary to do that #good omens #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #good omens spoilers #go2 spoilers

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

#see great gatsby #or wuthering heights #I LOVE wuthering heights #but do I give a shit about any of those bitches?#lol no
