Today I started a Blade Runner marathon, both movies plus the spinoffs. I don't consider Blade Runner to be a "source" material for me. However, there are a lot of similarities and parallels to the world I remember in my own memories, and I would probably be considered a "replicant" in the sense that I had enough human features: I could bleed, feel pain, and I did look human "enough".
Hello! Today, I come with my drawing that I made recently. A little fun fact: the 'original' title was meant to be "Stop seeing with your eyes, start looking with your souls" [but in Polish]. However, it was a bit too long, so I changed it to something more simple.
Trying out one of these prompts myself:
If your source material continued, changed significantly, or was rebooted — has that happened? And if so, what did it mean for your identity?
unsure if that is the right term. forgive me.
Who shall loose Orion's bands?
"I!" saith Eternity.
"I with annulling hands
Shall set the Titan free."
Who shall erect upon the sky
New forms of might?
Saith Eternity: "I!
I shall re-people night.
"As a breath on glass,
As witch-fires that burn,
The gods and monsters pass,
Are dust, and return.
"Is the toil much to you
That is little to me?
Such dreams the gods knew,"
Saith Eternity.
The fairies have never a penny to spend,
They haven't a thing put by,
But theirs is the dower of bird and flower
And theirs is the earth and sky.
And though you should live in a palace of gold
Or sleep in a dried up ditch,
You could never be as poor as the fairies are,
And never be as rich.
Since ever and ever the world began
They danced like a ribbon of flame,
They have sung their song through the centuries long,
And yet it is never the same.
And though you be foolish or though you be wise,
With hair of silver or gold,
You can never be as young as the fairies are,
And never be as old.
Unlike some of the members of the Otherkin community I have seen, I felt comfortable at first, when I was a child. I was born human, therefore I was human. Makes sense, right?
My usual, gut-level, teeth-grinding reaction to certain referential allusions that occasionally come up during discussion is as follows:
Glorsoron atar celndu
a varda vilya!
oranta ramamel le
himsul pella i earon dinalin
tuile edri galenramar
aidar lissilin ne silivren ered
anna anara
tintiliel telprin coire iore
(from "Under the Sun" by Sugar Ray)
I was in wonder watching the Lord of the Rings last night. I had gone with my fiancee and a mutual friend. *sigh* It was just....wonderful. Rather than critique the movie, I will highlight my opinion on how the elves were portrayed, from the perspective of a reincarnate elf. Overall, I think the movie was really well done in all aspects (save the missing Tom Bombadil, minor point).
