undead girl in the undead woooorld
life in grave is a raaaaave
BBEG of our current campaign - lich Tar-Baphon, my GM's @drartslog description
yassification was successful!
For me, his death was not cynical. I didn’t see a single sign that the creators of the series treated him cynically or wanted to kill him just to shock the audience. This was in the cards from the very beginning. Even with how expected such an ending was for Adar, it is a very, very bitter storyline. As Poppy said – some things simply cannot be dealt with; they are above and stronger than us. This ending is brutal, but it is much more realistic precisely because in epic fantasy, we expect the hero to win, and that’s okay. In this regard, Adar is much closer to the brutality found in non-epic works. It’s terrible, unfair, nightmarish, but life is an unfair and cruel thing. That’s how I see it.
Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless. His life was spent in suffering alongside Morgoth and Sauron; he witnessed how they killed and tormented his children, he was tortured too. For a brief moment, they freed themselves from Sauron's power, and Adar did everything to ensure that Uruks did not fall under his control again. He was ready to turn them against him, to feel their distance and their waning love for him, he was prepared for them to kill him, just so they wouldn’t become slaves again.
He dies right after realizing that the ring could heal him, after a new path opened up for him in alliance with Galadriel. Sauron looks at him and Adar understands that Sauron has won, and that everything that came before was in vain.
This is an absolute, total nightmare and shattering of all hopes.
I died drawing these tattoos, but even more I jerked off to them

First bit of some Sauron/Adar stuff delivered to those in need
Srsly, why isn't there more, we're doing a bad job, bad, bad job as a fandom, lol
(@kingofrhun you wanted it, I know)
Hi! I saw your art of Tar-Baphon (what? He's cute? Haha what a charming twist) and Arazni and damn I'm curious what's going on in your campaign. Can you please tell me about it?
ура, можно писать на русском кхм
Привет) На арте вместе с Аразни не Тар-Бафон, а Сокорро, который тоже был успешно яссифицирован нашим дорогим ГМом на радость всем участвующим. Тар-Бафон вот тут: https://www.tumblr.com/papugaka/767047553458044928/bbeg-of-our-current-campaign-lich-tar-baphon-my?source=share
На арте момент из нашего кампейна: РС на данный момент находятся на крепостной стене Ардиса, который осаждает армия ТБ и Сокорро. ТБ, правда, не особо участвовал, он пришел посмотреть, как выеб... сработает Сокорро. К несчастью для гордости Сокорро, в Ардисе на тот момент была и андеднутая Аразни, которой было _очень_ надо чтобы ТБ рванул осколок так же, как он взорвал Дозор и остальные города. Она вызвала его на бой и в ходе месива продырявила Сокорро со спины и вообще сделала все, чтобы ТБ выбесить. Но тогда не вышло)
Я видел у вас на странице, что вы тоже ГМ, но я не очень знаю, где проходит граница между переработками нашего ГМа и канонным приключением, поэтому если что-то странно звучит, готов пояснить)

I understand that for many this might be a frustrating ending; it is indeed emotionally incredibly heavy, and it’s normal to feel sadness or anger! I would say that in Game of Thrones there is an extreme level of brutality, whereas here it’s still not as prevalent, which is something to be thankful for. I wouldn’t agree that his death is entirely meaningless. Yes, he lost his battle for the Uruks. But thanks in part to his involvement, Galadriel gained a lot of understanding about her own behavior and found her inner light, and through this, Adar - at least for a while - felt like his old self, healed from Sauron’s influence. And for several centuries, he and his children lived free from Sauron’s influence, which is also important. So, in my opinion, globally, Adar did lose to Sauron, but the moments of clarity in his life are still significant and should not be forgotten.
