NEW CHAPTER! I swear I will finish this before season 3 airs (she said, like a liar) archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

"Would Fran Fine resist the One Ring?" Nah absolutely not, but if she were in Eregion Annatar wouldn't last an hour and it would all start with her thinking he's C.C.'s cousin or something

... you know what, it's great to be proven again and again that I was completely correct about whatever happened behind the scenes with The Rise of Skywalker lmao

"Bruh women have high standards and only want to date guys who look like Jason Momoa" Then explain why Bobby from KPop Demon Hunters is a solid 10

Somehow I can smell them from here

You know I thought Stephenie Meyer would give me a repreive of all current world events to add to me blasting MCR, but then she let me down (no Regurgitate/Jacob book I guess) and then Elizabeth Gilbert rolled in so I could do a double take and go "well her new memoir ain't very Eat Pray Love"

Honestly the hand-wringing over the pipeline of fanfic authors who become published authors is really funny to me. There have been several of them since the early 2000s AT LEAST.

And with this, the First Age part of the story is over. *llama scream* archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

I AM ALIVE HERE'S CHAPTER 10 AND SOMEONE IS GETTING STABBED NEXT CHAPTER YAY archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

*grabs mic* I think that if they ever make a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters the demons should unionize against Gwi-Ma, NO HEAR ME OUT IN THIS ESSAY I WILL--

Andor makes me almost want to pick up Star Wars again and then I remember the sheer potential of the ST vs the execution and start screaming into the void again Tl;dr some folks are conservative af when it comes to storytelling but I still don't know if some of you are ready for that convo yet

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Ça c'est de l'humour vraiment précis que personne ne va comprendre, mais si j'avais à faire une parodie du Silmarillon en français, les Elfes originaires de la Terre du Milieu (Sindar, Nandor, Avari) parlent tous avec un accent français. Bon, peut-être une petite touche du Sud pour les Avari.

I had a great joke about Hera, but it’s not the prettiest

I had a great joke about Antigone, let me dig it out

Lúthien and Huan defeat Sauron at Tol-in-Gaurhoth Acrylics on paper (and the Silmarillion art obsession continues)

Chapter 9 is up! One more chapter to go for the First Age, and we're hoping into the show's timeline! (I did not know what I was signing up for back in October lmao) archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

Chapter 8 is up! Only two left before we finish up the First Age, and then, it's straight into the show's timeline! archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

Having re-read Fellowship of the Ring recently, the overall impression I got of Galadriel and Celeborn was, to paraphrase C.S. Lewis, "they're good, but they're not safe", along with the heavy atmosphere of them being from a time long gone, and the weirdness of the Golden Wood [1]

Keep it for kids. You can have a series or two that will appeal to an older audience, but keep in mind it's meant for kids 10-14 yrs old, at the end of the day. Go back to the roots. Look at what inspired George Lucas, the screwball comedies, the Kurosawa films, the swashbuckling adventures [1]

I'm going to suppose JCB is Glorfindel until proven otherwise, but also, like... oooooh boy is the fighting between the EtL girlies and the musical theatre girlies gonna be nasty

Me, a Canadian public servant, watching Elon Musk and a bunch of chuds proving time and time again they don't understand the basics of public service, confidentiality, need-to-know basis, and access to information:

I voted for Elrond's angelic curls and I REGRET NOTHING

Lúthien arriving in Tol-in-Gaurhoth to ruin Sauron's day:

"Say Drake..."

Chapter 7 is up and it's a chonker and honestly I thought I would be crying blood by the end of it enjoy lol archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

The Alliance of Albertans and Quebecers during the Great Trade War of 2025, colourized:

Here's chapter 6! Things are ramping up a bit, and hopefully we'll get to TROP's timeline by chapter 9 or 10 (says I, who thought I'd get to it by chapter 4 lol): archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

You will be visited by three spirits

THE ONE RING: I will grant your heart's deepest desire ANNE SHIRLEY: I wish to stumble into mount doom, to say a final farewell to my bosom friend diana barry, and then to take my final swoon and die casting the ring into the fire. all will cherish me and weep THE ONE RING: hang on

"Team Green!" "Team Black!" True intellectuals are either Team Edward or Team Jacob smh

Aaaand chapter 5 is up! Apologies for the wait, but this one is a longer one to make up for it: archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

If you can guess this one YOU'RE A REAL HOMIE

One of my favorite headcanons for the Tolkien legendarium is how Lúthien and Arwen both look like the perfect Elven maidens. They sing. They dance. They're really lovely and all. And then they'll just. Say the most unhinged thing you've ever heard. In the middle of dinner.

A moment of silence for this Queen

Heh, why not give this a go.

Not sure if it's a movie-only thing, but the sword Arwen wields when defending Frodo against the Ringwraiths (Hadhafang) used to belong to Elrond, but also to Idril Celebrindal when she was defending Eärendil against Maeglin and I just

I've seen a lot of ppl talk about how we simply... shouldn't care much about Celeborn because Tolkien himself wasn't able to make him interesting. Re-reading the chapter in Unfinished Tales on Galadriel and Celeborn for fic purposes, if anything, I really disagree with that statement. Here's why. 🧵

So... I'm seeing ppl defending Ariana Grande by saying her singing as Glinda is better than the OG, Kristin Chenoweth, which makes up for... her lack of variety in facial expressions. Just... please watch Kristin in one of the hardest arias for coloratura soprano. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdC6...

New chapter for my Adariel/Adarborn fic is up! And I made a cover: archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

If this gets over 10 likes maybe I'll do it for real

I'm a ship and let ship person but every time some people from that one TROP fandom that will not be named gets snarky and/or clearly insecure about something the chaos demon that sleeps within me is like: "Irina. IRINA. SHARE WITH THE WORLD WHAT YOU REALLY THINK OF HALADRIEL."

Saw someone else imagining a scenario where characters from the Tolkien Legendarium and Dragon Age meet, but if I had to suggest a Baldur's Gate 3 variant, the funniest thing to me is that I can't think of a single Elf from any of Tolkien's writings who would be able to stand Astarion Ancunin

The most annoying thing about redemption arc discourse is when ppl go "let evil ppl be evil", bc it's not in reaction to redemption arcs. It's in reaction to "this person who seemed to be the villain was the victim of a big misunderstanding". In which case... what do they need to be redeemed for?

Chapter 3 of my Adariel/Celedriel/Adarborn fanfic is out, and I apologize for being a sicko (I really don't): archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

Me: *listens to the Proms version of Cosmic Love by Florence + the Machine* Me: *wipes tear* wow that’s so Adariel-coded

My hot take about the decisions from previous games not impacting DA:TV is that I always thought the Veil was going to come crashing down, one way or another, and that it would be a soft reboot of sorts for the universe.

And chapter 2 of my cracktastic Galadriel/Adarborn fic is up! Enjoy the fluff while you still can! (HA) archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

One thing people don't talk enough about and it's a crime in of itself is about how the world is not ready for the day Galadriel and Disa will meet
