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".
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.
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).
