happy almost one year anniversary to the beginning of me writing “to build a home” which I completed in July. the lesson being with enough overconfidence and manic energy, anything is possible archiveofourown.org/works/65602069

everything has elves and dwarves and lines of kings with sindarin-ish names running around but absolutely nothing is interested in that brand of medievalism or the style of tolkien’s writing or the themes he explores so everything kind of looks like lord of the rings but nothing tastes like it

the true strangeness of fantasy is that everything is trying to be like tolkien and yet at the same time absolutely nothing is trying to be like tolkien in the sense that everyone’s aesthetics and world constructions are seeped in lord of the rings but tolkien’s actual writing is nowhere to be found

saw a man with a full work from home set up in the costco food court

truly some of the best written child characters I’ve seen in a long while!! this was such a cute show!

guys verizon gave me hbo max so now i can watch dtf St. Louis and pray to the old man yaoi gods that jason bateman and david harbour do more than just yearn and at LEAST kiss

Tryinng to cheer myself up and distract everyone else from the miserable state of the world by applying famous memes to the #TheRingsOfPower First up

the sad state of affairs is that I haven’t even had time to miss ao3 bc I have so much work to do I’m pulling overtime

i have been so stupidly excited that since i planted things in my backyard i get butterflies and ladybugs and spiders and birds and moths. i hate the trend here of artificial turf and rocks

Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang is BAAACK! I had a really great time last year, so looking forward to joining in again. #TROP was woefully underrepresented though, so if you have TROP prompts, please do submit them on the 22nd and maybe someone will Art them. tolkienrsb.wordpress.com/schedule-for...

Average conversation in Númenor's royal palace after Pharazôn brings Sauron to Númenor:

After 'destroying' Sauron in Forodwaith, the Uruks travelled to the South. Many dangers left their numbers diminished, so they took shelter in a cave system inside the Misty Mountains... where they stayed for centuries. There, Adar made sure to pass the old Uruk stories to the new generations✨🐺🔥

new fear unlocked: swimming at indoor gym pool when only men are there are most of them aren’t actual swimmers and are just messing around/switching between lap pool and hot tub

hello i would love to be added to any relevant starter packs to help my account grow here—any packs for OC artists, queer artists, etc! i left almost 7k followers behind on twitter and haven’t been able to rebuild since

Happy Birthday Aragorn 👑 #Tolkien #art

ARAGORN BDAY????? ARAGORN BDAY!!!!!!!!!!

"It is not strength that overcomes darkness, but light... And the sun yet shines!" Cheers to all who managed this #TROPRewatch and took part in #TROPReforged (your prompt for this ep is Fire/Light). Remember there's no deadline so you can submit your creations any time. Until Season 3, Namarie!

A day late with #TROPRewatch cos of illness, and I wanted to give it the proper attention it deserves, because this was the one I was so privileged to watch on the big screen with a hall-full of other fans and two days of no sleep 😆 So here we go with our S2 finale!

We are so excited to introduce our 13th artist for the #NumenorFaithfulCalendar - Sally @smuffly.bsky.social - and we can't wait for you to see what she's been working on. Profits from the sales will be going to www.marysmeals.org.uk who help feed kids in some of the world's poorest countries.

MY FAV SCENE IN THE WHOLE SHOW

"From the beginning, a part of me knew. A part of me saw. But I wanted what he offered. So I... I blinded myself to what he was." "... So did I."

it’s 1:30am and im planning a frutiger aero aquarium bathroom remodel

i work with all sorts of people and part of my job is doing assessments/evaluations and every so often I come across a situation where I have to interrogate my own biases (we all have them!) to see if there really is an objective concern and that was today on top of working till 8pm on a Friday 😭

“KING JULIAAAANNNNN I HAVE GIVEN THE NINE RINGS OUT TO THE RACE OF MENNNNN”

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

characters whimpering

MELIAN (looking Galadriel in the eye): has some misfortune befallen your family? GALADRIEL: woah you got some nice trees here in Doriath, damn look at that one over there

I’ve had my aussie for 1.5 years and have done so much work getting him to be calm (he’s a rescue and has trauma) but never have succeeding getting him to rest anywhere besides my bed. imagine my surprise tonight when he randomly hopped down, dragged my old clothes into a pile and curled up asleep

the text my teenage brother hits me with today:

For our Artist Reveal number 12, please give a very warm welcome to @maelomion.bsky.social - who has been a very active part of TROPSky for a while now. We are so glad to have them on board. All profits from #NumenorFaithfulCalendar will go to www.marysmeals.org.uk to help feed hungry kids.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

the absolute fucking roller coaster I just went on during the finale cannot be overstated

THIS???? hotter than the whole of wuthering heights

Fanfic is real fic.

Late Valentine's commission for Natasja Costeris 💘 I completely understand why Nazanin stepped aside and focused on defending human rights, but I miss Bronwyn and her relationship with Arondir so much ❤️‍🩹 #trop #ringsofpower #arondir #bronwyn #commission

today is the best day ever for no particular reason other than I’m finally feeling more myself and I get to try the new red bull spring flavor

haven’t read a single book this month. could this have anything to do with the hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic I’ve read this month??

begging everyone to listen to the crux by djo. currently obsessed w closer of the deluxe album disc one open.spotify.com/track/3DDHA8...

Congrats to our peredhel for his two Bafta awards! ✨ (And how important is to have movies which talk openly about mental health/disorders/conditions 🙌🏻) Commission for Natasja Costeris ✨ #robertaramayo #elrond #ringsofpower #trop #commissions

one thing about me is the more stereotypically masculine a character acts and the more emotionally unavailable they are, the more I am convinced they just need to be topped. have the posturing fucked right out of them.

Berek every time he sees that Isildur hasn't kissed Valandil yet:

Númenoreans don't even announce when they're committing insurrections anymore, they just look at you like this

adding twenty one pilots to the list can’t believe I forgot them

thinking about when I saw a video of josh dun playing the drums and commented “I’ve never wanted to be a drum set more”
