FST: Silmarillion: No Second Chance (and assorted fannish extras)
First things first, folks: I'm so grateful for all of you. You're all on my flist for a reason, and I love reading journals for a reason, and some of you I would have been too shy ever to ask but through mutual friends or other things - I'm glad you're all here, is the bottom line, and I hope you're doing fantastically. I'm just feeling squishy and full of love today. &hearts &hearts
So I've been putting off posting this forever because I am lazy. Let's make it a Christmas present. Ahead of time, folks, this post is loaded with SILMARILLION and A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE and DORK. Also, if you have ever wondered why sometimes the folder name is different than the fanmix name, it is because I chance these damn titles about six times. I do this with everything. For example, "The Lost Son" on my fic journal is known as the (better) "The Damned" on FFN. I'm just too lazy to change all the chapters already on my journal, lol.
ALSO, one more reason to love the Silmarillion: it is a great fan of the words "great" and "doom" and when combined these words create a most excellent phrasething. Especially doom. DOOOOOM.
Medium: Book
Fandom: Silmarillion
Title: No Second Chance
Subject: One guess. :D But it really works for the arc of most of it from the Flight of the Noldor onwards.
Notes: I really, really like this. And coming up soon will be a compilation of all my truly favorite Feanorian (DEFINITIVE) fanmix songs, probably towards the end of the year. \o/

INTRO: Death Is A Disease - Clint Mansell
instrumental
THE BEGINNING
Planet Hell - Nightwish
My first cry neverending
All life is to fear for life
You fool, you wanderer
You challenged the gods and lost
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
Hard Times - Patrick Wolf
Divided nation,
In sedation
Overload of information, that
We have grown up to ignore
Mediocrity applauded
Uprising - Muse
Rise up and take the power back, it's time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
Niveneh - E.S. Posthumus
instrumental
THE DOOM
Blank Infinity - Epica
Do you cry to the heaven's high
when you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
Battle - Patrick Wolf
Tribe!
Battle the patriarch
Battle for equal rights
Battle, battle, battle
Battle back your liberty
Battle the long night
Come on
Battle, battle, battle
It's your time
To join your tribe
Fuck Them All - Mylene Farmer (translation, thus: approximate)
Fuck them all!
Make love, we’ll make war, our vices reversed
Fuck them all!
Make love, we’ll make war, bleed our hell
Fuck them all!
Blood and soul!
Nightquest - Nightwish
Nightquest a quest not for the past
But for tomorrow to make it last
Simply the best way to walk this life
Hand in hand with a dreamer's mind
Enter the realm don't stay awake
The dreams remain they only break
Forget the task enjoy the ride
And follow us into the night
THE BATTLE
The Dark Mark - Patrick Doyle
instrumental
Apres Moi - Regina Spektor
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice
Journey to the Cave - Nicholas Hooper
instrumental
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Haunted - Poe
Don't cry,
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing
And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
Winter Born (This Sacrifice) - The Cruxshadows
Dry your eyes
And quietly bear this pain with pride
For heaven shall remember the silent and the brave
And promise me they will never see, the fear within our eyes
We will give strength to those who still remain
So bury fear, for fate draws near
And hide the signs of pain
With noble acts, the bravest souls
Endure the heart's remains
100 Generations - ThouShaltNot
So father kill your daughter
Mother kill your son
Swallow up the universe
'Til all the killing's done
It happens when you slumber
It happens unaware
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Let It Rain - Carrie Clark
Fire inside, with passions that burn.
To let it all out, when will I ever learn?
I want to scream, but all I do is smile.
And smother the flame
THE DYING
Shh... - The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets
No black no white no source of light
No second chance no end in sight
No flesh no blood no bones no mess
No hate no love no sweet caress
Nothing to see no links no ties
No time for that no long goodbyes
No lies no thanks no secrets
Thickets - Patrick Wolf
Have I been traveling so long
That I've forgotten how to stop?
Why are my brakes all broken?
Wheels spinning out of control
And in the mirror
Pale and deathly have become
Closer - Burn Season
Don't say that its over
I'd kill to be closer
A moment I'm passing to you
But to me
I will wait
And I'll take
Anything with your name
Don't say that its over
You can't live without me
The Eldar - Blind Guardian
I've tasted poison
When I drank the wine of fate
But the fear was in my heart
I realized too late
The house of spirits call
Borrowed Time - A Fine Frenzy
Thick as thieves the last of leaves
In the winter sun
Holding fast this freezing branch
Is home to us
Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide
Get Out Alive - Three Days Grace
No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
Stand My Ground - Within Temptation
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground
THE MOURNING
Where Will You Go - Evanescence
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape
You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
Listen to the Rain - Evanescence
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness - Nanci Griffith
What in the world has come over me?
What in heaven’s name have I done?
I've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
I'm out there running just to be on the run
You've a heart that burns with a fever
You've got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Leave me so damn far behind?
The Elf Knight - Steeleye Span (In my head, this is for Celegorm and Luthien.)
With his own sword-belt, so fast she's bound him
Fine flowers in the valley
With his own dagger so sore she's stabbed him
As the rose is blown
Memento Mori - Kamelot
Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
Guinevere's Lament - Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel
instrumental
Cinder and Smoke - Iron & Wine
Give me your hand
And take what you will tonight, I'll give it as fast
And high as the flame will rise
Cinder and smoke
Some whispers around the trees
The juniper bends
As if you were listening
The Eye of the Storm - The Cruxshadows
And all who stood by and did nothing
Who are they to criticize?
The sacrifices of others
Our blood has bought their lives
This is the moment of truth
At the point of no return
Place faith in your convictions
As the boundaries start to blur
There is no love untouched by hate
No unity without discord
There is no courage without fear
There is no peace without a war
There is no wisdom without regret
No admiration without scorn
There is strife within the tempest
But there is calm in the eye of the storm
Meadows of Heaven (Orchestral) - Nightwish
instrumental
This Game - One Star Story
This empty feeling, blame it on me
Do I deserve this? I must deserve this
My soul is sinking; guilt watches me
What is my purpose? I must have purpose
So I stop and breathe.
You tell me I'm fine, no reason to cry
Tell me again and try not to lie
There is no difference; everywhere's the same
And there is no way for me to win this game
OUTRO: Radio War - Iron & Wine
And the train track will take
All the wounded ones home
And I’ll be alone
Fare thee well Sara Jones
Now we lie on the floor
While the radio war
Finds its way through the air
Of the dead market square
BONUS TRACKS FOR MAGLOR
Mad World - Gary Jules
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
Accordion Player - Voltaire
And so he stayed and played at home until they burned it down.
And when there was no bench to sit on he would just sit on the ground.
And when he held his wounded friend in his arms and death was all around.
He said,
It's not about you anymore,
It's not about you anymore.
Things I'm excited about this Christmas, on that note: GAME OF THRONES CARDS FUCK YES, CHRISTMAS CTHULHU FUCK YES, LE CHEVALIER D'EON/PLANET EARTH/LIFE AFTER PEOPLE FUUUUCK YESSSSS. Not many books, though, clearly I'll just have to wait for my wallet to heal and head to the bookstore on my own.
The Silmarillion
Mostly from one artist, who not only gives me a Silmprettygasm, but she draws Maeglin and lots of him omgggggggg. THIS IS EXCITING GUYS and she shows the whole story arc and even the kidnapping one I love his little face because he looks so freaking crazy and desperate and that is just what I want. Eeeeee. Also Caranthir. I don't like her Celegorm, though, pity pity. Le sigh. If I could just find one artist who draws a good dark haired Celegorm often...I would be happy. Yes I would.

Found this and dlkf it's true at least for me. First time I cried. Ever. In these books, I mean, otherwise I am a freaking leaky faucet. ALSO hey hey bitches.
WORD.
And lastly, THIS FREAKING CRACKS ME UP mostly because in RP land interactions between Daeron and Feanorians end in near death. Not hugs. Also I just. Can't see this going well? Maybe it's just me. Horz.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD LIFE!
P.P.S: When Yuletide archive loads I will have recs for yinsall. NOW TO FINISH THOSE LATE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS *scampers*
