okay, i know about all the aus in your post except the Art Therapy in Mandos one. can you pleeeease enlighten me? :>>>

Ok, it's very simple and here goes.

Art Therapy in Mandos

So, we all know how Feanor must constantly be working on projects and doing things or else he might actually die (exaggeration), right? Well, filling your mind with projects etc isn't great for having time to meditate upon your actions and heal from traumas in Mandos, but Namos can clearly see that the traditional 'meditate in silence and isolation' that works for most of the eldar is not going to cut it for firey Feanor.

Namo comes up with a new kind of healing method for Feanor that involves 12 crayons and one of those adult meditative coloring books. He gives these items to Feanor without explanation.

Feanor hated it so much. It's so dull and pointless to color everything in, but he has to be perfect and the best so he colored the first several books in shocking realism given the limited colors, staying exactly inside the lines. Every time he finishes, a maia comes and takes the book away and replaces it with another.

He doesn't understand the purpose of this ridiculous assignment, the maiar hardly speak to him, and Namo won't answer his shouted demands for answers. They just keep giving him fresh books and replenishing the crayons and the only explanation Feanor can come up with is that he somehow isn't completing the books the way the Vala wants him to.

'Namo is unreasonable' he seethes to himself as he creates yet another near exact replica of Lorien's gates. Never have any coloring books been competed with such exacting attention to detail and symmetry using only the waxy crayons given to children who have yet to earn the right for better tools. 'The Valar are unreasonable,' he spits as he recreates a swan boat with the lightest touches of yellow and orange and pink and white.

So it continues until one day Feanor has screamed himself nearly hoarse at the absent Vala. Why persist in playing this game when Namo makes it clear he will never accept his work and will always make him do it again, he wonders. He takes up the red crayon. It has no purpose here in this picture. He drags it across the page anyway, crossing over the lines with an out of place streak of red.

Somehow, through all of this, Feanor learns to let go of his perfectionism, accepts that his ability to create wonderful and miraculous things does not determine his worth, etc etc, healing and understanding, etc etc.

Eventually, Namo lets him out of Mandos :)

Anakin as Macbeth (?)

I am obsessed with the idea of how much Anakin could have resembled Macbeth and does in some ways. Please let me elaborate! At the moment, my University is forcing me to reread Macbeth and thanks to my Professor, we are obligated to compare the classics to Pop Culture. One of my fellow students pointed out that Anakin does share some similarities with Macbeth. Regarding their motivation, both are driven by ambition though Macbeth is more focused on his gain, while for Anakin the protection of his beloved one is more important. (Quick side notes: I think Anakin’s need to desperately prove himself should not be underestimated.) This weakness and both of their emotional instability are brutally exploited to influence their future actions. In Macbeth, his wife plays the role of the manipulator, similar to what Palpatine does in Star Wars. So, Macbeth’s emotional journey and end seem to be a what-if scenario for Anakin’s fate as Darth Vader.

it wasn’t their world, not anymore it isn’t. Whatever it is it’s confusing, it’s... Disgusting is what it is and and suddenly not even long after the first, they’re in the 80s? How the hell did that happen?

It doesn’t look like the one they know, not the one they should and god damn it now they seem to be stuck back here, dealing with things and what the hell was that thing? It was flesh and moving and god all three of them are not cut out for seeing this weird thing to begin with, hell the fact that they know about each other too as well... Oh that seems to be trouble. More than just what they would like to handle nevermind that time travel is a thing that happened and probably not going to get them back either.

Steven decided to open a little store, with the help of Marc and Jake though that would be fantastic if they could not argue about everything for a damned second.
