When The Light Of The Valar Still Shone.

@_@

Oooooh, this is the longest commission I've ever drawn, over half a year passed, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Order from @drartslog (thank you very much for hours and hours of nasty fanons, my sis in kinks, we will burn in one boiler with you). With her character-inquisitor from the Pathfinder's campaign "Wrath of the Righteous".

TW: torture, violence

after almost 600 years of darkness

this character and others which I draw belongs to our dearest GM @drart503, thank you for our love and tears!!

sauron goes brrrrrrrrr

The council how else to torture Adar and then comfort him maybe

Just want to shout out to @papugaka @drartslog and @miithriin — I feel synergy with your Adar energy and I am glad to 💓

I was eating dinner when I saw this news, and it felt like my head exploded and went flying around the kitchen. Sitting here and can't stop crying.

Rings of Power Season 2: Adar Role Recast With Sam Hazeldine

The role of the orc army leader Adar in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has been recast for Season 2, with additional new casting announced.

:(

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.

pls somebody save adar little meow-meow

I saw this small stuff go well:

So I shouldered my job as a cinema critique and set off to do a full analysis of that scene.

yassification was successful!

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.

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.
