Oh my God, is Kirsten Wright a *Golden* retriever because she runs *Rhine* Labs
#That's a pretty clever rhinegold reference if so#And Kirsten is certainly obsessed enough with her research that I'd believe it#Which makes an interesting contrast with her draconic ex-colleague#... And the Rhine Lab symbol being two rings combined to make an infinity loop#Arknights

Lang!Hagen trying out different javelins and spears for their feel and weight before going to kill Siegfried:
Reinl!Hagen learning that Gunther won't have any royal hunt take place on Easter because Burgundy might need the Pope's help against the Huns one day and it wouldn't do to offend him:
Gentilomo!Hagen tricking Kriemhild by making it sound like Siegfried told him about the linden leaf in confidence because they have a friendly relationship instead of using that info as a rebuttal to Hagen basically calling him a coward so cowardly he wouldn't even fight Brunhild, a woman, in Gunther's place despite being invulnerable all over, while also pretending to have known where the leaf fell exactly on Siegfried's body all along:
Edel!Hagen explaining to Siegfried that being tasked with hunting Fafnir is an honor reserved for only the king's MoST FAvoRED KnIGHTs:
Grundy!Hagan reflecting on how it doesn't really matter if his mother conceived him with a dark elf or a demon, the important part is that he's 99% sure she only had him to raise him as a protector and scapegoat for his legitimate and undoubtedly fully-human siblings, but his duty and bonds of loyalty extend even further as he's also meant to be the warden of his clan and tribe and always act in the interest of his bloodline and people despite whatever his individual needs and wishes may be, and in addition to that he's also been called upon by the god he's dedicated himself to as not just a keeper of the old ways against the inexorable spread of a new religion but also part of said god's eschatology-focused great design, which all in all makes for quite a compelling argument to try and repress his feelings as much as he can... only to suddenly trail off because there's a cat and he needs to try and pet it:
Hohlbein!Hagen, leaving the court of Worms for his native Tronje, a windswept, isolated fortress over the stormy ocean in the remote, cold North, closer to the old gods and far away from the more-complicated-and-dismal-than-ever current political situation in Burgundy that he fears he may not be well-equipped to handle anymore as well as any painful reminders of Kriemhild's clear love for Siegfried:

I do think modern audiences’ obsession with criticising movies for being ‘derivative’ (mostly from 20th century media) is. Misguided. As if most of those works weren’t heavily derivative too. I once sat through an entire rant from a friend who was ragging on jk Rowling (as one should), but her criticisms revolved entirely around how derivative her work was - especially in regard to lord of the rings. And I was really biting my tongue to not tell her that lord of the rings itself as a work is almost entirely derivative itself. Both from works of folklore and fairytales and from Wagner’s ring cycle which is itself an adaptation of die Nibelungen. Very little in this world is ‘original’, and chances are if you watch a film and think it’s original you’re just unfamiliar with whatever source material it’s been inspired by. Homage to old stories and reinterpreting them or rejuvenating them for the modern audience and context.. is pretty much how the entire history of storytelling as a medium has played out. Yet audiences today are so obsessed with no spoilers and having the rug pulled out from under them that somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten that it’s ok for stories to be … predictable in a way and for audiences to be able work out the plot twists themselves before they arrive. Few audiences today watch the original Star Wars trilogy without knowing Darth Vader is Luke’s father. That doesn’t take away from the quality of those films or that story. If a story can be ruined by a spoiler or by being derivative or whatever then it’s not a good story in the first place. But being derivative in and of itself should not be seen as condemnatory.
#genuinely will never be over the first time i went to an opera house to watch das rhinegold (ring cycle act 1)#and afterwards I turned to my dad like ?? but this is the plot of lord of the rings?? and he was like… yeah 😭🤣#I get why Tolkien refused to admit to that given the works reputation and associations but man#he didn’t even take all the white nationalist stuff out of his adaptation anyway 😭😭😭#btw this is not me being a lotr hater#just me pointing out that many works that people criticise modern media for being derivative of#(the assumption behind such statements being that the ‘original’ 20th century work was NOT itself derivative)#were in fact heavily derivative themselves just from works that mainstream audiences may be less familiar with#like how many non Germans know the plot of die Nibelungen ?#or I’ve heard it’s not even necessarily taught in German schools anymore bc of . ahem. associations with certain governments#it’s a big point of debate apparently. shame that art co-opted by fascists can end up being labelled as fascist art despite never having#been created with that intent. but alas

I keep running across him in the papers I read because we have overlap in interests. Can you imagine having the name Rhinegold?
