happily lost in my own AU
@starwarsbrat.bsky.social
Dual citizen of Skyriver and Arda, exile of the House of Finrod, raised by the Original Trilogy, educated in Beleriand and Eriador, veteran of The Clone Wars, Bad Batch groupie, Adar's acolyte, Cassian's accomplice.
Finally realizing that he and his children are free... 🖤

It's easier to imagine season two's Adar coming to the conclusion that he needs to recruit Galadriel to help him defeat Sauron, and having the capacity to be both cunning and charming as he goes about doing so. It would've been interesting to see Mawle's approach to this plotline.

I greatly enjoyed Joseph Mawle's performance as Adar, whom he made my favorite original character in this series. But without his departure, I may never have discovered the immensely talented Sam Hazeldine and his extensive body of work.

I've been looking forward to tonight's #TRoPrewatch (S2:E1 Elven Kings Under the Sky), the premiere of season two, and the first appearance by Sam Hazeldine as Adar. 🥰

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?

To take my mind off reality, I've continued my Sam Hazeldine film festival this week by watching Riot on Redchurch Street & The War Below. The former is a bizarre film that I have no desire to see again, the latter a touching war movie that left me weeping (but I nonetheless watched again tonight).

RIP Val Kilmer. 🥺

(I know what I'm going to watch tomorrow evening)

I can draw animals fairly well, too, real & otherwise. Here are some of the Tolkien/fantasy inspired pictures I made in my teens (circa 1984-86). I often regret not pursuing an art career; I might've been a matte painter for the film industry if I had. Science seemed like a safer choice at the time.

You're quite welcome, dear Sam. ❤️

I mean, really. This is impressive. Every time I've leaned too far to the side on a running horse, I've ended up on the ground.

The way he leaps on that horse while it is already running. Ohh myyy...

(I've worked with horses, and know how difficult this would be)

Happy birthday to Sam Hazeldine, the man who gave life to the only orc I've ever loved, and the most recent addition to the small contingent of talented and otherwise wonderful people with whom I'm grateful to be sharing this time on Earth. 🎉🎂🥰

Post a photo (or two) of who your shoulder angel and shoulder demon would be.

One set from both of my obsessions.

I believe that my angels (Ahsoka and Galadriel) and demons (Ventress and Adar) would each make a great team. 🤝🏻

He's just perfect, in general. 🥰

Happy birthday to John Boyega and Morfydd Clark! 🎉🎂

And happy St. Paddy's Day to you. ☘️

Post a legendary scene ✨️

A lovely tribute to our beloved anti-hero, Adar. I hope Joseph Mawle and Sam Hazeldine see it, as they both deserve credit for giving this character the depth and dimension he deserves.

With Rey, it was her solitude and how she managed it, and her inherent empathy, that I identified with. The introductory scenes of her had parallels to how I was living at the time of the film's release, and to my isolation in my teenage years. I actually wept when I first saw it.
March 15, 2025 at 5:42 PM
Same for me. I could identify with both Ben Solo and Rey. It pissed me off when people referred to Kylo as just an overly sensitive emo-kid. Mental illness runs in families (including mine), and it was obvious to me that Ben inherited more than just a high M-count from his grandfather.

The best I could manage with my phone's camera: blurry, but the color is accurate.

Happy Blood Moon Night. Cheers to Adar.🍷🖤
March 14, 2025 at 7:08 AM
As the blood moon eclipse begins, I thought about Adar saying how Sauron gave him "wine, as red as a blood moon." And I was attempting to find a video clip of that scene when I came across mention of a month in the Jewish calendar called Adar, and the significance of a blood moon during this time.

In two consecutive series now, one in each of my favorite realms, the character I became emotionally attached to the most was killed in a terrible manner. I obviously need to remain more detached in the future (at least until the series concludes). 😕
March 11, 2025 at 6:47 AM
I mean seriously: just take me there now.

This one also continues to consume a considerable amount of my imaginative bandwidth. He may be dead in The Rings of Power, but Adar has his very own series in my mind. 🖤
