When you wanted to show him stars but got distracted)

Thranduil isn't unkind, he's just unfriendly. 

Unfortunately for him, a lot of people seem to view the words to mean nearly the same thing. 

An unkind person would not have saved the dwarves when they trespassed in his forest and kept them well fed (even by dwarven standards) regardless how unhelpful and rude they had been to him and his people. An unkind person would not have rushed to the aid of a human village, an unkind person would not have taken Gollum from Aragorn and treat him with pity. An unkind person would not have been chosen to be King of a good and kindly people. An unkind person could not have withstood the darkness in Dol Guldur as long as he did. An unkind person would not have raised a son like Legolas.

An unkind person usually goes out of their way to be unkind, Thranduil has many opportunities to do so. And never really does. 

That doesn't mean however, that he's friendly. He won't sugar coat anything no matter who he's talking to, according to some he's blunt and direct to a fault. Like a bolt of lightening. 

He isnt here to make friends, he has enough friends.

He sees no reason for pleasantry chit-chat with people he doesn't know or barely tolerates in the name of being 'Polite.' If he doesn't care about something, you will know very quickly. He isn't here 'to be the bigger person,' there's no time for that. He's here to get shit done, and get it done quickly and accurately. Because there's always at least seven other things wanting his attention. 

And if he hurts your feelings, or ignores all the expected pleasantries and you find it offensive. Well, that sounds like a 'you' problem, doesn't it? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

barduil + sharing looks

I am overjoyed to introduce you all to my new and most prized possession — the fanbind (!!!) of seeking a friend for the end of the world made by @dyingslowlybutfasterthanyouare and @rainfern! My haphazard photo-snapping does absolutely no justice to their beautiful work, so you’ll have to trust me that it looks even better in person.

I really can’t express how much it means to me to have this. As a kid my dream was to be a published fiction writer, and I used to imagine what my books would look like and what it would feel like to hold one, and as a writer of primarily fanfiction in adulthood, I sort of let that one go. But getting to see this copy of seeking a friend and put it on my bookshelf is like realizing that dream, and I’m so thankful to have a chance to do that!

@dyingslowlybutfasterthanyouare I know I’ve been hollering in your DMs about this for a week, and @rainfern, we haven’t had a chance to talk, but let me just say it again — this is my new favorite thing and I have been carrying it around like a security blanket ever since it got here. You both are amazing!

My darling sibling @dyingslowlybutfasterthanyouare has reminded me that tumblr exists and is a thing that I have so uh... here we go.

This is the fan binding of my favorite barduil fanfic seeking a friend for the end of the world by the very talented @scary-grace! My sibling and I worked on this together, (the first time that they worked on a binding at all, everyone give them a round of applaude for those chapter headings), and it was a lot of fun!

It is also the longest fic I have ever attempted to bind, coming out at nearly 800 pages! Previously the largest I'd done was about 350, so when it was first printed I sort of stared at it in terror and then let it sit on my desk for several months before finally getting started on it.

The fic itself is what I have been affectionately calling a zom-com road trip fake dating au, so I tried to put a lot of road trip elements in the design. The paragraph breaks all show the progress of their journey, with the little car moving forward as they get closer to their destination. And I was very pleased when I found road trip cover paper with the phrases "Do not pass," "stay on path," and "on the menu" included. That last one has me giggling every time I see it. I am very proud of how it turned out and can't wait to post more binds as I make them!!

In the year 1977, following a tragedy that upends his life, former emergency-room physician Thranduil Oropherion purchases a sprawling, centuries-old estate in northern New Hampshire, planning to ship his children off to boarding school and waste away without ever being seen again. His plans go awry immediately thanks to Bard Bowman, the caretaker of the estate, and as an unlikely friendship blooms between them, Thranduil finds himself slowly coming back to life.

His house does the same.

Chapter 21 is posted! Here’s an excerpt:

“I’m not sick,” Thranduil says. “Merely mad.”

“No.” Bard hugs Thranduil closer to him. “You aren’t mad. I promise.”

“You saw –”

“You’re not mad,” Bard says again. “I love you, and you aren’t mad. I promise I’ll explain. But right now we need to get out of here.”
