I'm watching a show where initially the motives make no sense (people make life-altering decisions for no apparent reason) and through a series of flashbacks we gradually understand their arc. Is it expert, subtle storytelling or did writers start panicking after ep 2 & rushed to explain??

Why is Frankenstein not in theaters in my area? It's too good of a movie to stream in my beat-up laptop

Slow Horses reached a whole new level of "oops. We destabilised a democracy. Anyway"

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

I should follow more people who post their pets

Don't forget to download fics now to get through tomorrow's Ao3 outage!

Florence on the title and Jess on the keyboard, what a match! I beta'd this but even if I had no stake I'd so enjoy Halbrand unburdened by Sauron's thirst for power, but still being the scruffy fucker we know and love.

Volcanons 💣

Not that I'm biased for having something to do with it, but this chapter is unravelling indeed! Galadriel's inner tempest and what Halbrand heft behind

Hellghoul week prompt unlocked

There's a certain type of person that thrives within the labyrinth of the public health system and this person is my mom. She calls me out of the blue like "how would you like your next month lasik appointment to be first thing tomorrow? I made some calls" okay russian mafia, I won't ask questions

On vacation days I make a big, strong, black coffee to get me through the day of doing ✨absolutely nothing✨

Phone: your storage is full, delete some videos Me: but these are from concerts! 📱: do you ever watch them? Me: why would I watch them, I *lived* them 📱: so, delete them? Me: how dare you, machine

Don't forget to rinse out every jar and tin you finish, guys x

I have a Numenor WIP that would be perfect for day 7 but it technically has a music festival scene hmmmmm...

I've been lacking motivation these past few weeks. Should I take a page off Sauron's book and make an enemy? Something to keep me going

I should post my haladriel fics here (thanks bluesky for eating my previous account, I love doing things again ugh) Or, I could finish any of my *checks notes* 13 (!) wips and post a new story. Who among us knows what tomorrow brings

Charlie said with his whole mullet "the light that GALADRIEL BROUGHT OUT is getting sniffed out by his desire to control everything" and I am melting #haladriel

Is it me dreading phone calls or the world that left flip phones in 2005? When I hung up I wanna experience the satisfaction of the *clack*

When I'm going through a weird time like this one, I wonder how I would write it in a memoir. Would I skip it to get to the "good part" or frame it as an internal obstacle I had to overcome? The narrative is missing, so my days feel untethered from purpose

Will a golden hour walk in nature every day clean the moss inside me? No. But it can massage it into something tender and I will perceive the different hues of yellow dusted over the hill again

Blood seeping into the Crown archiveofourown.org/works/63972997 #haladriel

I know I should write Halbrand as the angry broad-shouldered dude that's sexy and mysterious in the enemies part of ETL but my pen slipped and he's a deranged puppy sniffing Galadriel's dress

Haladriel:

Did I spend half an hour watching videos on how to properly gut and fillet a swordfish, from private chefs to Bangladesh market people, and call it fic research? I did. Is the fic about cooking? Not even close.
