I like love stories. I like the idea of people finding understanding and love and family in each other.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. John Masefield

Watching FOTR in late 2001 made me read the LOTRs for the very first time. I cannot stress enough how much those films mean to me (despite the fanbase they attract these days.) Everything about this new film (new trilogy apparently?) seems designed to test a 25 year love affair and piss me off.

LOTRO Spring Festival starts tomorrow, my will to live has been restored 🌸

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

The first few snowdrops are beginning to open... 🤍

that feeling when the daydream of your characters in made up scenarios hits right

Actors who have a deep connection to a character they’ve played have every right to keep associated themselves with that character, especially if they were young and it was a big role for them, but it’s so greedy to not want other actors to get a chance to play these characters after many years-

this series is finished if you want to read celebrimbor & annatar's story from the beginning! archiveofourown.org/series/5123711

The Elves [of Eregion] received [Sauron] gladly, and few among them hearkened to the messengers from Lindon bidding them beware; for Sauron took to himself the name of Annatar, the Lord of Gifts... [Unfinished Tales]

writer's block? okay. block this.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Beautiful!!

Forgot to add a Eowyn picture so here are my favorite 4, forgive me pls

If Elves need the Light of Valinor to survive, does that mean they conduct photosynthesis? Are Elves plants?

Quick little Texas AU collage bc I miss them 🤍 Texas AU: archiveofourown.org/works/739345...

One of the fascinating parts of Numenor’s original ecology was that they didn’t have huge land predators at all. Bears, the top omnivore of many ecosystems, were present –though they, like horses, squirrels and dogs, had peculiar characteristics. Let’s see!

And as the Great Wave swept him to a place of darkness and despair, he saw a light. - 🎶 Florence + The Machine songs that capture this moment Sauron’s POV: Never Let Me Go Galadriel’s POV: What the Water Gave Me and Over The Love - #Sauron #Galadriel #Akallabêth

Playing with new brushes that imitate fountain pens. Each one is done with a different one until I gave up with Hal at the top. Martanis = all fashion periods of Europe from middle to the 1900s I will not explain further.

The mariners thought it an ill thing that the Captain should depart thus ... when all was made ready and men prepared to weigh anchor Erendis came there, little though she loved the noise and bustle of the great harbour and the crying of the gulls. [Unfinished Tales]

"Father!" "I'm alright, Isil."

Sim Halbrand sports a modern au baby mullet à la Charlie so—

Sometimes I wonder if trying ADHD meds might be a good idea, but I'm so scared of sacrificing any of my already low creativity 😭 Anyone had really good luck with their meds?

The fandom landscape would be so much better if more people could think, “I don’t like this ship so I’m gonna scroll” rather than coming up with bullshit moralistic reasons for why Ship A/B is bad and if you ship it you’re also bad. Ship and let ship and stfu!

a final act: chapter 2! narmeleth's quest does not go as planned. celebrimbor helps with the yule festival preparations. antheron makes a vital mistake. (this is the last silly chapter, please enjoy!) read on ao3: archiveofourown.org/works/807054...

halcyon days | haladriel musician au | e | 12/12 | 71,285 words 🔗 archiveofourown.org/works/673105... Last chapter's out! Thank you for this absolutely amazing ride, I'm already missing the story 😭💞

Husband woke me asking, 'The movies say Smaug as in "hour"; was little me wrong to think the dragon Smaug was pronounced "smawg", as in "naughty"?' I looked it up and ... well, the answer is not just philology. It's incredibly good storytelling. 1/4

I think my Galadriel zine must have fallen in the ocean 😔

"Big Guy" CHARLIE IS THAT YOU

Couldn’t resist playing with the light in this one. #Sauron #Annatar #TROP #RingsofPower

of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.
