well, hello there <3 i'm julie, a vertically-challenged insomniac who is obsessed with a fairly long list of things. these things may include, but are not limited to doctor who, torchwood, firefly, star trek, and many things tolkien (meaning, yes, the hobbit and the lotr but also the rest of the legendarium, and roverandom and the like as wel ). also spiders, inverts and other beautiful creatures of all sorts. um. so basically, look for those things on this blog, as well as a bunch of other random stuff that isn't on the list. thanks, love you, don't hesitate to drop something in my ask!

update: my computer is freaking the hell out, so leithian is going to have to wait until at least tomorrow, because I'm sleepy and don't have the patience to deal with this right now asldfkjlasfkjlaskdfja I'm very very sorry. But before I go to bed, allow me to wish you a happy holiday one more time (even if it's not actually christmas in any time zone anymore). I love you all dearly.

merry christmas, friends, to those who don't mind being wished one, and a lovely 25th of december regardless of religious or cultural practice to those who would rather not touch that whole christmas thing. by the end of the day (in my timezone) I will have the audio of Canto 3.1 of Leithian posted for you, because that's the only thing I can think to do for you lovely people.
That, and also I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate you and peace and goodwill and all that jazz. In a serious way, though - I'm not being sarcastic, I just don't have the words to say what I mean. But I have a feeling that you all understand anyway.

Yes ma'am. During winter our weather likes to do this thing where it snows one day and be back up in the 60s (F) the next week, so I don't suspect i will last very long, but at least it's here.

You know Christmas is not about having a good time. It’s about having uncomfortable conversations you don’t wanna have with people you don’t wanna talk to in places you don’t wanna be at. That’s the reason for the season.
Me, talking to dis bitch about the meaning of Christmas. (via erchu)
#OH SWEET LORD#this is exactly#the perfect quote#and the perfect description of what is happening to me right now#thankee kindly#julie and that one winter holiday

I don’t even care if this is on my blog already because I tag like a butt and I can’t find it if it is there.
Also, balls to this not being in AUJ.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
Twelve friends of Thorin,
Eleventy-one birthdays,
Ten Wood-elves singing,
Nine Nazgul screaming
Eight Bunnies mushing,
Seven sons of Fëanor,
Six Armies fighting,
Five Istariiiiiiiiiiiii,
Four Hobbit friends,
Three Elf-Rings,
Two Towers,
And One Ring to rule them all!

croclock said: are there people who don’t like frodo, or who thinks he’s whiny!?!?!?! :OOO i can’t believe it, he is in my opinion the bravest of them, and he goes through so much, i can’t believe anyone would say he’s not done enough!?!!?
unfortunately, yes, a lot of people hate on poor frodo DD: there's a lot of 'frodo's just a whiny butt who can't do anything and sam did all the work and frodo sux anyone else would have been a better ringbearer' sentiment floating around, and it bothers me deeply. Sam certainly deserves credit for being a loyal friend - but he was a terrible ringbearer, and he had it for less than a day. frodo truly was the only one who could have carried out such a task, and he did it with such bravery and nobility that frodo-hate just alfjsaldfkjaslfkjd bugs me so much

I want to take a post just to appreciate Frodo Baggins. He catches so much flack from viewers (and readers) of lotr for what I feel are terrible reasons. I'd like to remind everybody that this little hobbit was a total bad ass. Bad. Ass. And a genuinely strong-willed and compassionate bad ass on top of it all. Next time you have the fate of the world on your shoulders and bear a weapon that is slowly poisoning and destroying you from the inside out and walk on to your certain doom for the sake of others, then you can tell me that Frodo "whines too much".
Typically I leave the frodo defending to others (/cough Laura), but I've seen a lot more of it lately and needed to speak out about it, even if it is only just this once.

ohhhh, this is simply beautiful, my dear. I love it so much that I need it on my blog, I hope you don't mind.

I’m not going to pretend I’m not a wuss and that this didn’t hurt like a bitch, because I am and it did. But I sat through it all in one sitting, so at least I’m a stubborn wuss!

i always manage to not be here when things happen in the fandom. which, you know, may have been a good thing because the only possible addition i could have made was some angry keyboard smashing, and you all are so much more eloquent and well spoken than i am and i just want you to know that i love you all and this was handled very well and i think you all need a round of applause and i would throw a feast in your honor if i could because you're all perfect.
