Please 100% tell me to fuck off if this question is rude or smth, but: Will Nothing Gold Can Stay ever get dark in the future? Like, tragedy territory or such?
hmmmm ngcs will def have dark and tragic moments but i feel like it would antithetical to JRRT's world and themes to have it remain dark and depressing. which, okay, i see the irony of me saying it's anthithetical to themes while also curb stomping some of JRRT's well established and beloved world building moments. BUT!!! i believe sorrow and love are intertwined in literature and life in general and in Arda particularly. and for as much love as Cyr and her world has, it would be an untested, weaker love if it didn't endure sorrow too. she is a child of elvendom, and that means being an heir to grief and loss as long as she remains in Middle Earth.
so there will be dark times. but there will also be singing, and singing about the dark times. nothing evil truly endures.
"But in the end, itās only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."
