“jenny of oldstones” of game of thrones and “edge of night” of lord of the rings are as yet incomparable because we haven’t seen the final episode of GoT yet. we haven’t even seen the big battle at winterfell which is going to be comparable (narrative-wise at least) to the battle of gondor against the nazgul. (i could go into comparisons with the white walkers vs the nazgul, the night king vs sauron, but as i haven’t actually read asoiaf and honestly don’t intend to i don’t think i’m qualified on that account.) but in any case, “edge of night” has lyrics which are juxtaposed between denethor eating and clearly uncaring of his son’s plight and the riders galloping valiantly to their fates, while “jenny of oldstones” is essentially a montage of all the faces of the people who are going to either die or lose their loved ones, peacefully or at least calmly contemplating their coming fates. and this is a contrast that we can look at in and of itself but until we have the entire completed oeuvre that is game of thrones, we can’t say for certain that “and she never wanted to leave” (in the context of jenny dancing with her ghosts) will have the same effect on GoT’s serial narrative as “all shall fade” (in the context of shadow and clouds fading) has on LOTR as a trilogy, and until we see who lives and who dies and what the ultimate outcome of the series is, we cannot properly compare these two sequences. in this essay i will

Once again, noot noot~
pop into my askbox with ‘noot noot’ and I will put my iPod on shuffle and the fourth song that comes up I will write a drabble with our characters based on the lyrics

|| For that one AU we have where Langon and Sauron form an alliance and rule Mordor together \o/
Rilwen Shadowflame: Sauron coming creeping back to Mordor, battered and damaged, no longer able to take fair forms, and how it feels to be confronted with Langon who can still be ‘pretty’ … just imagined though, a ‘mask’ of black stone carved by Langon into a forbidding but handsome face, imbued with some of his strength so Sauron could take it into his fana, make it part of him and make it move and ‘live’ as his own face
—
He had watched Langon fashion the mask, occasionally voicing quiet suggestions to the stonecraft, wrapped in a dark cloak in the corner. His shoulders, once straight, were curved in; brows that once arched smooth across the face now furrowed close over the nose; and limbs, once lithe and graceful, were gnarled and stiff.

#why did they do that to jean valjean
because they’re afraid that strong gentle men who struggle internally with being good while succeeding externally (for the most part) aren’t ~cool to watch~
good fathers are “boring” and men who don’t need to be invested in a sexual relationship with women in order to help them are “unusual”
that’s the only explanation i can think of
i feel like i would be kinder to bbc’s musketeers if bbc hadn’t just dropped that horror of a les mis adaptation but they Did That and now i’ve gone feral and cannot return

((ahha. Thank you. Honestly, it was a word vomit.
It was a true word vomit, but a word vomit nonetheless. I'm glad it came out less jumbled than it was in my head.
I just want people to realize how awesome they are. I see so many broken people on here and I want to help all of them, I want to patch up their injuries and kiss them better and help them see that they deserve help, that they are worth help and worth better than what they have and what they think they are.
And that's precisely why I'm going into the field that I'm studying, because I want to help people.
I only wish I could help everyone.))
