oh i love that, one of those dress your own x puppet games but for the poor stressed out costume designers

Oh more things: I forgot this image, Luthien approaching Tol Sirion with Huan. I did this originally for a drawing challenge where the idea was to draw a scene from Tolkien in a Ghibli movies style, so that's why the style is like that. But like, moodwise and costume/cinematography wise it...

I am still working on my storyboard at a leasurely pace xD but here some images i had already lying around I had painted this first one years ago, more with the underdark (from dnd) in mind than anything else, but it occured to me that it is pretty spot on the atmosphere i pictured writing the...

There are four mentioned pieces of music in ep. 10 (plus a little orc drinking song that at som point might be heard in the background) First up ofc, Luthien singing Carcharoth to sleep. That is just the bit from the Lay. Then I guess I made up a little folk song that the Beorians apparently...

Heya, here comes the script! Have fun descending into the abyss with B&L And ofc feel free to comment, should be enabled in this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hHi8ai0B33kFmv7SDitzmfkIduC-GlWA8-m7fg1ciEk/edit?usp=sharing

oh yes the druedain! Lots of places to introduce them in the nirnaeth or turin season i think.

ha! yes, more buffy references. Ofc it should be less 'monstery of the week' for obvious reasons, but that i found an excellent reference because of how buffy arrives in there and finally succeeds by inspiring that hope and agency in the prisoners again, where the prison works to dominate and...

As for the petty dwarves, we could still have built them up more in the past, or could have their story pop up a little from time to time, as we have a lot of time to go still till Mîms main appearance. But those are always the challenging storylines, that are very very insignificant to the main...

Ah yes I see, no then I was misunderstanding it ^^ Thanks for clarifying

But that is what I mean, I am not saying we should do x or y because beren should make a mistake or not. Us deciding if we have him do sth the narrative might frame in a certain way is one thing, the other is what events we have happen to have that conflict & resolution play out. What I was...

I was not even adressing the validity of Beren's desire to prove himself. The question is how the communication, the honesty, and the amount of misdirection in this part of their journey is handled. And also some choices may just lead to more or less elegant storytelling, not changing the...

Yeah but I think that is not even our issue right? I think we agree on that, but i am a little unsure of why he leaves *despite that*, or how to tell that story in a more elegant way/better suited to our format kind of way.

I agree. I think there could be maybe a version where he feels like he brought this Silmaril job onto himself (so it is a burden that is on him, less because he thinks it is too dangerous for luthien, but because he agreed to that admittedly quite sketchy deal with thingol). But honestly I think...

I am personally rn very drawn to the magic of this season, (song battles, luthien's song scenes more generally (hirilorn especially)) since it is the big magic season of SilmFilm over all, probably, and how to tie it into the visuals of the show (so, how to depict magic more broadly over the...

Hey I have an idea for Thuringwethil and Luthien (what a surprise coming from me) What if we had Thuringwethil, as planned, basically killed in ep. 7, and close to death anyway, but we do not just show her being just, unceremoneously as a random corpse laying around somewhere. Instead then in...

But isn't Luthien and Beren's story exactly so famous because it is this unprecedented wonder, a eucatastrophe in many ways, this fairy tale, even in the world, where ppl regain hope at hearing it? In many ways that implies to me that it is much less a descriptive of the norm, it is something...

Well there we disagree. I do not see Feanor's story and the whole doom spiralling from it as a punishment of Finwë's action, that would rob that story of immense impact to me. The strife of the House of Finwe and all the conflicts ultimately spiralling out of control into the exile of the Noldor...

Well even Tolkien has Finwe take another wife, and it is not at all the point of conflict in Finwës story, that comes much later. Finwë just has the force of the story behind him, where Finduilas has not. So Tolkien's tragedy definitely doesn't just strike arbitrating one clear strict code of...

Yes precisely, we have anti-magic, anti occult laws, because there was always superstition and scary myth, but the character of the witch and the practices around witch-hunts were very specifically manufactured in a time of great anxiety around religion (the reformation) from those earlier magic...

I think what is important to me, as with many other adaptation choices, is to examine what we take for granted, and maybe sometimes see if we can stretch outside of those boundaries from time to time. I'm not just thinking of "do we tell these stories, do we have these characters" but also "do...
