Windows to the soul…

The Helcaraxë or Grinding Ice was the perilous icy wastes between the lands of Aman and Middle-earth, in the far north of Arda. Here met the Encircling Sea and the Belegaer, creating "vast fogs and mists of deathly cold, and the sea-streams were filled with clashing hills of ice and the grinding of ice deep-sunken."

In the Quenta Silmarillion: Of the Noldor in Beleriand, it is described as it follows: "In the north these shores, in the ancient days after the Battle of the Powers, bent ever westward, until in the northernmost parts of Arda only a narrow sea divided Aman [...] from the Hither Lands; but this narrow sea was filled with grinding ice, because of the violence of the frosts of Melkor."

okaay so, idk with this one

the dialogue was absolute shit if we’re being honest and the acting was mediocre at best but imma give them the benefit of the doubt and say that is due to the shitty script (what i did notice though is that the side characters were by far better actors than the mains)

lets get to the setting, basically it was nothing special and didn’t have much of an affect on me as a viewer. the aesthetics weren’t anything special either

now we got that out of the way lets begin with the characters. they were nearly all realistic and actually quite likable for once so that is a plus. the character kitty played was kinda typical for a main character but still - likable. i don’t have much to say about her. except that she is one of the few likable main characters and has a bad taste in men. VERDICT: likable main

next olivia, she was given the best storyline as well as character which quickly made her the most interesting one. her being in love with her best friend (whose name i forgot) is the best thing in that show. i mean their relationship is definitely toxic but still interesting so it’s sad that it didn’t get more screentime. i hope in s2 they focus more on them since all the other main characters legit got to fall in love and their love dilemmas were clearly central storylines. olivia’s lovestory was kinda rushed in the end and didn’t deserve that. VERDICT: need more screen time for romance in s2

bree was nice character, they tried to make her edgy and mysterious and usually these characters are hella unlikable and annoying but with bree they just didn’t manage. she is quite funny (the only one apart form shane who made me laugh) also her relationship with john was hella cute. Her mother-abandonment complex was kinda overused and basic but it didn’t bother me. bree underwent some nice character growth during s1 and became my favorite (once again along side shane) VERDICT: predictable but surprisingly likable

margot got a terrible dialogue so im not gonna blame the bad acting on her. also the her character was cringy - victim of bad writting. im sorry margot! her character was fucking copy paste from every introverted charcater ever and they tried to make her interesting by being intravreted but it just made her cringy. VERDICT: victim of poor writting :(

now to the plot, kinda similar basis as control z, but they mad it more interesting with the deaths BUT then again it was the same plot twist: the innocent romantic the quiet girl falls for ends up being the bad guy :/ kinda lame

the good thing was that throughout the whole show they did have me guessing

the worst thing was that last lil twist that came out, the whole my family is part of a secret society was hella lame but yeah we’ll see how it ends next season.

the good thing about the show was the female leads that formed a nice friendship, which i hope is more of a central plot next season

I’ll be honest with you I don’t actually have too many headcanons about him BUT i do imagine Morgoth/Melkor to be really bad at flirting. Like, horrendous. Like absolute cringe. 

Writing a full dabble of when they find out Minka is an empyrean👀

But onto the topic of baby Tomkin…

There was definitely a time of shock then an adjustment period. They were trying to help Magnus cope at the same time as well…

But overall Tomkin was just another grand baby. Their only grandson even! The Lady Tarnished loved him in a heartbeat, while Morgott had to warm up more. The lady had so many cute hand-me-downs to dress the little scrap in :3

The family was quite used to dealing with feral kids already as well!
