DIEGETIC MUSIC in THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Music is integral to J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, beginning with the Ainulindalë, the divine music that brought the world into being. Throughout his stories, poems and lyrics are sung aloud by his characters, serving as important vehicles for conveying joy, sorrow, remembrance, and history. In Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, the spirit of Tolkien’s songs is preserved through the use of diegetic music—music that originates from the world of the film and is heard and often performed by the characters.

Writing original fiction is like “*knocks on your door* hi hello can I interest you in this blorbo from my show, the one inside my head, if you look to your left you’ll see the towering cliffs of my their neuroses, and to your right is the scenic burning trash pile that I have lovingly placed them into…”

at some point there needs to be a bigger conversation on here about the notion that suffering inherently makes you a better person

so many perspectives here seem fundamentally based in this (very christian) idea that we improve as people through suffering. whether its godawful anti-abolition takes about ‘rehabilitative’ imprisonment, posts about how we need to bully the weird greasy freaks so they grow up normal and well-adjusted, media criticism takes about how good redemption arcs have to require characters to suffer horribly first, or insensitive posts about how abuse survivors are better for it in the end, it’s a dangerous and untrue assumption to make about the world. and so much stuff on here seems to rely on that belief

“It grows out of a very Christian notion - the idea that suffering redeems. And actually all suffering does is cause pain. And so there are good people who are made to suffer, bad people who are made to suffer, an entire spectrum. All you can say for certain is that suffering stinks.”

- Art Spigelman, author of Maus, on Holocaust literature and the idea of redemptive suffering, from the BBC programme Bookclube

If you ever find yourself in public with an obnoxious Christian that is trying to pray for an audience, just hit ‘em with the Matthew 6:5 quote:

And when you pray, you should not be like the hypocrites, who love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets to pray, so that they may be seen by men.

I think they should redub yuri on ice but like properly this time. Multilingual VAs. Native speakers. Yuuri and Viktor supposedly communicate in English. Cool. Let’s hear it. I want everyone speaking the languages their characters would be for each scene. Yuuri speaks Japanese with his family, English with Viktor. Viktor speaks Russian with Yurio. I wanna hear Phichit speaking Thai. Subtitles exist and are useful. I want authentic dubbing. I wanna hear real accents. Please.

Serious question, why do public figures lie on the internet about what they’ve said - on the internet? Even if they deleted the blog post/tweet/video, there are several ways to see what that url was on XYZ date, easily proving that they are lying.

I’m not talking about something inconsequential they said a decade ago that’s easily forgotten. I’m talking big-deal-with-consequences decisions made (in some cases within the week) deliberately that they then gaslight and say “nah that never happened” when … I can pull up your original article in twelve seconds proving otherwise.

What’s worse is millennials and young gen x do this….we grew up online and know better. So what, do they assume we’re all too busy to take the 12 seconds to look? Or do they think we’re too naive to think that - to quote Dr. Gregory House - “people lie”?

For better or worse the internet is forever.

So I guess for anyone who doesn’t know, you can pull up a url in its original state with sites like the wayback machine and domain tools. (This is also a way to see when news articles were edited without noting that they had been corrected in one way or another.)
