Some Notes on OC Names:

Or: Mistakes I made early on…

So, back in late April of 2022, I’d just started writing the first draft of what would become the first two chapters of my very first AO3 fanfic, In This Mad Season I Come Undone. It was meant to be an account of the Finwioni during the Years of the Trees from the birth of Finrod and Turgon in 1300 to the death of Fëanor in 1497, with a huge focus on Russingon and the massive highs and lows of their relationship. It was a fic that called for a lot of OCs with Quenya names, and I unfamiliar enough with naming practices that I started turning to name lists, name generators, and dictionaries to craft names using the rules as I understood them. I ended up being mostly happy with them names that I created, but as a result of fumbling in the dark a bit before I found RealElvish.net, I ended up with some early installment weirdness, including some naming oddities that impacted three of my major OCs. I’ll explain…

First off was Anarcalin, a young noble in the household of Fëanor who ended up being Maedhros’ first lover and one of his most loyal followers. He’s one of my favorite OCs, and I even brought him over to my modern AU to make up for what I did to him in the Angband-era sequel. Unfortunately, his name means “sunbright.” Even though he lived and died in an era before the sun. Oops. In my defense, “Anar” was also used as a name for the fruits of Laurelin, so I think that it skill works since Anarcalin received his name for his glowing golden-brown skin.

Then there’s Laitanis, who ends up becoming the wife of Fingon after a series of family quarrels break up Russingon from the period a couple years before the exile of Fëanor to right after the First Kinslaying. Her name is a combination of Laita (“to bless”) and nís (adult female elf). Now, this is a tricky one. If I’d wanted to name her female blesser, her name should’ve been “Laitissë.” But I tried to do something that I’m now not sure Quenya names can do. Instead of making Laitanis a blesser, I gave her a name that calls upon the powers that be to bless her. Basically, her name is an approximation of “bless the elf-woman.” My Watsonian explanation for this is that maybe her parents weren’t great at name-craft.

And the third “oops” is Caranthir’s wife Valdawen. This is a very minor error. I originally had her name down as Waldawen in my notes, but when I went back to RealElvish.net to make sure that I had her name right (it means “wild maiden,” btw), I accidentally clicked on the Exillic Quenya name list, which renders the name as Valdawen. Because the W shifted to V. Anyway, I didn’t notice my mistake and I liked the way that Valdawen sounded better anyway, so that was that. My Watsonian explanation for that error is that maybe Valdawen’s parents preferred the “Valdawen” to “Waldawen” just as I did. I dunno. They can be early adapters. As a treat.

Also, a very minor OC, Faldanis, daughter of Findis, is a super frustrating case because I got her name from a name generator, and I cannot remember what it means, and I can’t find it anywhere else, which makes me worry that I typed it out wrong in my notes. Once again, oops.

To all my readers:

I want to let you all know that I haven’t abandoned any of my works. I’ve just had a busy quarter and a bit of writer’s block. I still know exactly where I want each story to go. I’m just struggling a bit with some transitional chapters.

Found your tumblr! I’ve been reading AWY these past weeks, and I think it’s brilliant. I love your characterisation of Finno, and Anarcalin. You really make your OCs seem real. Anyway, thank you.

Thank you so much! I loved writing Finno and his own inner struggles in this. I wanted to give him a chance to be messy and have an arc. Really thrilled to hear that you like my OCs, especially Anarcalin!

Hello, dear readers!

I would like to direct you all to my second fic offering for TRSB this year, which was inspired by the incredible art and cheerleading of @dogblessyoutascha . It’s an extremely NSFW account of how Ungoliant came to Middle Earth, beat up Morgoth, and acquired Thuringwethil as her first servant/pet.

Without his art and input, I would’ve never thought to tackle this rarepair, but I’m glad that I did.

[last-capy-hupping]

And the fic is here and readable! I know that it’s quite long, but it is broken up into 7 chapters to make it easier to follow and read in sections!

I’m also quite proud of it and would really appreciate you all giving this a chance! It’s a modern magic/modern elves AU with werewolves, vampires, heists, and unhinged smut, oh my!

This is one of my pieces for this year’s @tolkienrsb featuring vampire Caranthir and werewolf Finrod on some heist shenanigans to reclaim the Silmarils in a forthcoming fic by @last-capy-hupping (steadfastalysanne2022 on AO3)!

Please look forward to it! Link will be posted when work is revealed!

[last-capy-hupping]

Can't wait for your TRSB. Completely adore your writing! I really am so excited!

Thanks! 😍😍😍😍

For those interested, you’ll be getting close to 40k words of a Finrod/Caranthir heist drama featuring Fëanorian vampires, Arafinwëan werewolves, and Ñolofinwëan werebears, as well as 7.5k words of unhinged Ungoliant/Thuringwethil smut.

Updates on my WIPs:

Greetings, gentle readers. I wanted to reassure all of you that I have no gone on hiatus, nor have I abandoned any of my three WIPS. Instead, I have spent most of the month of August finishing my two TRSB fics. On September 6th, you’ll be able to read roughly 45-50k new words from me! I’ll also have those fics wrapped up by August 30th! So, expect some updates to my regular Russingon content around September 1st/September 2nd.

Why Renly didn’t know about the incest.

A popular theory is that Renly Baratheon knew about the incest all along. It’s so popular it’s treated as fact.

But I maintain that he didn’t know, and I think the text supports my assertion.

Here I’ve listed the common arguments for why he knew, and my rebuttal to them.

Keep reading

AWY Sequel in the Works

Hello everyone! I know that this announcement is probably a bit late, but to anyone who primarily follows my fic updates on Tumblr, I’d like to tell you all that my sequel to AWY, Listen, Oh, I Know It’s Been a Long, Long Year is not only up but also five chapters in. And oops, it’s all about Fëanor so far because that man sucks up all the oxygen in the room.

These are a series of character design I did for Silmarillion years ago as Tolkien fan art. 

Tolkien not only built up a great world and its unmatchable history, but also created a lot of fascinating characters. While reading the book, their destiny hit me like a hummer of fate. All men die at last, mortal or immortal; but their stories are astonishingly beautiful.
