Okay I have a random but burning question for the "Adarlings" on here:

We know "Adar" is the name he earned from his children. Literally meaning "father/dad". And we know others call him "Adar" - he has no other name.

So.

I'm wondering how he would feel about a lover calling him "Adar". He has no other name (that he can remember), not everyone can speak Elvish and call him something cute like "meleth nîn" and I'm pretty sure there isn't a word for "love" or anything kind in Black Speech sooooooo?

Would it bother him for a lover to call him "father/dad"? Would it not matter? Would they make something up? Would he turn it into a kink? 😂

So S2 finale kinda gives us a hint that he knows his other name but doesn't use it anymore.. so technically we can use any name as his old name that he shares only with his lover.. either make up a cool elven name or just go with Oren which was the placeholder name for Adar while S1 casting! :D

Or we can assume that he has chosen Adar as a name so it has lost some part of its original 'father' meaning in his head & become a name.. similar to what happens when names have meanings and are actual words in a language.. like My name is the word for treasure/precious in my language, but I've been called that all my life so it never registers as the meaning but just as my name, unless it's used in a sentence with its intended meaning!

Or him having a kink works too :3 :3

(Hope my ramblings help a little 🙈)

That scene at the end of S2 made me think that he either knows his name and just like he said it's "meaningless" and doesn't hold any value to him so he doesn't even care.

OR

That maybe he might remember a name he's but he's kind of unsure if it's his name or not.

I do like the idea that since he's been called Adar for a zillion years that it does lose its "meaning". We don't call each other by what our name "means" so that's makes sense. HOWEVER it's just driven into you so hard that HE IS FATHER that when someone says his name in a *sexually pleasured sigh* it's like 🤨 for a second lol

(but no I love all this it's great you guys are awesome)

✨ UNHINGED WRITER GAME: CHAOS & CRAFT EDITION ✨

(where the questions range from soul-searching to “did you eat paint chips as a child?” vibes)

Welcome, feral little scribes, to a completely unhinged writer game full of unreasonably specific, occasionally cursed, and deeply revealing questions about your writing, your OCs, and your shameful love of That One Trope™. This is your official excuse to ramble, roast your own characters, and pretend this counts as productivity. You're welcome. 🫡

✍️ How to play:

I'll do mine later or if some peeps send numbers lmao XD

1./ If your writing had a scent, what would it be? Bonus points for weird answers (e.g., haunted lavender, burning VHS tape, library dust and daddy issues).

2./ What does your writing taste like? (e.g., strawberries and gunpowder, over-steeped tea with secrets, blood and fondue).

3./ Your writing style walks into a bar. What drink does it order?

4./ If your writing was a weather event, what would it be? Hurricane? Soft drizzle? Biblical plague?

5./ What song or sound effect would play every time you hit “new document”?

6./ Which trope are you physically incapable of resisting, no matter how many times you’ve written it?

7./ What’s one trope you love writing but would absolutely roast in someone else’s fic?

8./ What’s a red flag in your writing that you refuse to stop doing?

9./ What’s a green flag in your writing that you are smugly proud of?

10./ Do you write like a god descending from Olympus or like a raccoon in a trench coat trying to pass for human?

11./ Do your OCs know they're in a story? If so, which one of them would threaten to beat you up?

12./ Which OC would try to unionize the cast? Which one would betray the union for a single grape?

13./ You’re now legally required to write a crackfic of your WIP. What’s the plot?

14./ What would your WIP be called if it were: A Lifetime Movie, A 2000s emo album or A Pinterest board title?

15./ Your antagonist now has a pet ferret that influences every plot decision. What happens?

16./ Your favorite OC is now your therapist. What advice do they give you and are you okay?

17./ Your writing style is now a cryptid. What’s its name and where is it most likely to be spotted?

18./ Who in your WIP would join a pyramid scheme and why?

19./ You have to pitch your story to a medieval peasant. What do you say?

20./ If your writing was a disease, what are the symptoms?

21./ Which of your WIPs would be most likely to summon a demon by accident?

22./ What moment in your story is so self-indulgent you considered cutting it but kept it in because you’re a goblin?

23./ Which of your characters would flirt badly and with great confidence?

24./ Who would do well on a cooking competition show? Who would burn cereal?

25./ Have you ever killed a character for dramatic effect only and then immediately wrote them a ghost scene or dream cameo because you missed them? (Be honest.)

26./ What do you overuse like a man possessed? Em dashes? Vague poetic metaphors? Eyebrow quirks?

27./ Ever write a metaphor so wild even you had to take a lap? Share it. Or a cursed simile.

28./ Which character is 100% an accidental projection of your darkest impulse or deepest trauma and you just let that happen, huh?

29./ Lastly: if your writing had a warning label, what would it say?

Ok, here goes!!

Thanks for this fun game @maul-of-shame

1./ If your writing had a scent, what would it be? Bonus points for weird answers (e.g., haunted lavender, burning VHS tape, library dust and daddy issues).

Something sweet, a little bit of daisies with an undercurrent of something darker and spicier! Often coupled with sea salt!

2./ What does your writing taste like? (e.g., strawberries and gunpowder, over-steeped tea with secrets, blood and fondue).

Over indulgent chocolate

5./ What song or sound effect would play every time you hit “new document”?

The ting-a-ling of the fairy godmother tapping her wand and magicking up something new and shiny.

6./ Which trope are you physically incapable of resisting, no matter how many times you’ve written it?

Enemies to lovers! I just LOVE it.

7./ What’s one trope you love writing but would absolutely roast in someone else’s fic?

Fake dating of course 🤣

10./ Do you write like a god descending from Olympus or like a raccoon in a trench coat trying to pass for human?

🤣🤣🤣 more like a deranged squirrel huddled under a blanket

13./ You’re now legally required to write a crackfic of your WIP. What’s the plot?

Boy captures girl. Girl resists. Boy plods on. Girl threatens him at knifepoint several times until they finally catch on that this is what true love looks like 🖤

19./ You have to pitch your story to a medieval peasant. What do you say?

Wer captureth wif. Wif resisteth. Wer ploddeth on. Wif threateneth wer at ye olde knifepoint. They cometh to the conclusion that this musteth love be 🖤

22./ What moment in your story is so self-indulgent you considered cutting it but kept it in because you’re a goblin?

I'd be more likely to cut it because I'm a goblin! Goblins kill the darlings 🔪

26./ What do you overuse like a man possessed? Em dashes? Vague poetic metaphors? Eyebrow quirks?

Just, well, really love eyes widening...

29./ Lastly: if your writing had a warning label, what would it say?

If you don't like romance, stay far away!!
