I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Vane was sexually abused as a child.

  • He has a brand on his shoulder from Albinus. We meet several of Albinus’s slaves and only one has the brand (At least that we can see), The child. The ONLY child. 
  • When he has to return to Albinus to get a crew he can’t meet Albinus’s eyes. This is Charles Vane, he’d stare down death itself, but with his former master…
  • When Albinus reveals his brand to the others Charles can no longer meet any of their eyes. He looks ashamed. These are Albinus’s slaves as well, why should he be ashamed? 
  • He’s terrified and trying to hide it every time Albinus speaks to him. 
  • He says he was “the lowest among” the slaves
  • He keeps looking to the boy, horrified that there is another like him. He knew Albinus would still have slaves. He shouldn’t be shocked, but he is
  • “You think if you refrain from beating them, it’s any better? It isn’t the violence. It isn’t the labor or the hunger or the heat or the chains. You know what those men fear right now? It’s the unknown. Lash that comes from nowhere for reasons never explained. A visit from the taskmaster in the dead of night. But I remember that fear. Right now, I feel it returning.”

In Conclusion Vane was raped repeatedly as a child by Albinus (and mostly likely his taskmaster). He managed to get away and tried to forget it. When he saw the boy with the same brand he realized it wasn’t him. He wasn’t the reason for what had happened. Vane had always blamed himself, but in that moment he realized it was Albinus. He realized Albinus was a sick fuck who raped children for pleasure. That’s why he murdered him.

“Tolkien was so “wedded” to his lunar chronology that he sometimes reached impasses in his work. In an April 26, 1944 letter to his son, Tolkien said he had “struggled with a recalcitrant passage in ‘The Ring’,” and then went on to say that “at this point I require to know how much later the moon gets up each night when nearing full, and how to stew a rabbit.” (TTT).”

i don’t even need to know the context of this drawing

pussy game so strong it scared the devil

no but literally that is what is happening, there have been long periods of western history where spirits were said t be frightened by the site of lady business. Sailor’s wives used to flash their husbands ships (mind you this was a time before underwear so you just lifted your petticoats and BAM) in order to scare away the spirits and devils that made storms. A woman could flash her crops to keep away spirits that might ruin them.This was also back when the vagoo was seen as something taboo and horrible so literally looking directly at some labia was thought to be so scary the devil would poop himself. Misogyny so intense it gave the pussy superpowers.
