Last picture for Middle Earth for a while! First picture of the new year! Huzzah!
Huzzah has a lot of meanings for me, but more on that later.
This picture is of Legolas, stepping out onto the bank of Anduin to shoot the mysterious and sinister black shape in the air. The Big Dipper, or Calacirca, is over his head. Frodo sees “the dark head of the elf crowned with stars”… It was so beautiful I tried to do a picture of it, and it worked pretty well, but I never finished it. I may do a CG Photoshop version sometime. That would look really nice. Or maybe I’ll use my new markers!
Huzzah means, for me, three things off the top of my head.
1) The cheer that the sailors give “Captain Pullings” at the end of Master and Commander.
2) Lucia: “Long life and health to his majesty! Huzzah!”
Janaff: “…You don’t really have to be so formal.”
That’s a quote from Fire Emblem 9, when two knights from different countries meet and one is also a noblewoman, and as such, gives polite praise of the other’s king. The other one is much more laid back and even clownish.
3) Huzzah! is a goofy story about Fire Emblem 7. Not as good/funny as Tally Ho, by the same author, which just focuses on Canas the student of elder magic. Who has no common sense. ^_^7 He’s adorable.
I realize that that sentence beginning with ‘who’ is a sentance fragment, but it makes a ‘statement’.
I’ve also added a disclaimer/about section to the writing section.
Oh, yes, and I ate myself sick for New Year’s. We also played another game of my brother’s present Settlers of Catan, a board game which is rather amusing, especially when Mom asks for the ‘longest road’ card from Dad and he gives her the identically shaped ‘building price’ card. I went hysterical.
