"bilbo's poetry must be so embarrassing for elrond" is out

"elrond weaponises bilbo's embarrassing poetry" is in

elrond is old! he's heard it all before! there is not a single topic bilbo could write on that he has not been forced to listen to someone recite on before. at least bilbo doesn't expect him to be particularly grateful or honoured by it.

however! that does not mean other people have reached the same level of "sure bilbo you can write a limerick about maglor" that elrond is on.

so bilbo gets elrond's full permission to write whatever he wants IF he promises to wheel out the really, really sensitive stuff on request (when there are visitors Elrond doesn't like or a diplomat is being annoying)

Sometime this weekend, I'm planning to update my Taylor Swift song rankings. Send me a number 1-241 and I'll tell you what song it is OR send me a song and I'll tell you where in my ranking it falls. Maybe I'll toss in a favorite lyric or an associated memory too.

Hey, you made a list of names for all the Narnian months, I think, sometime back? (Forgive me if I'm wrong.)

Any chance you could supply the link to that post? And is it okay if I use them in any fics I write?

Thanks!

--Rain

Hi Rain! So I definitely didn't name all the months. Greenroof is a month name from Prince Caspian, and I came up with just a few of others sort of in that vein for a story I wrote a while ago. Here's the months included in that story:

Cleardome ~ March

Laceveil ~ May

Highgrass ~ July

Greenroof ~ September

(I also proposed in that story that the Narnian year is actually longer than ours is, so the alignment between their months and ours is approximate)

Feel free to use those month names if you like, and if you end up filling out the calendar further you should tag me!

Do you like the song Unclouded Day? It’s been stuck in my head for like 3 days now…

Hey there! Yeah, I do like that song! My favorite version is this choral arrangement 😊

Nirnaeth Arnoediad ~ The Battle of Unnumbered Tears [F.A. 472]

’(…) Some have said that even then the Eldar might have won the day, had all their hosts proved faithful. For the Orcs wavered, and their onslaught was stayed, and already some were turning to flight. But even as the vanguard of Maedhros came upon the Orcs, Morgoth loosed his last strength, and Angband was emptied. There came wolves, and wolfriders, and there came Balrogs, and dragons, and Glaurung father of dragons. The strength and terror of the Great Worm were now great indeed, and Elves and Men withered before him.’

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

Honestly, yeah, Lucy is a hero for not saying "I told you so" about the gorge. Could never be me. (vindication is my favorite)

Does Ramandu's daughter have a mother? Or do stars reproduce asexually? Let's discuss

I think Uncle Andrew painted the Dawn Treader painting. He had weird, Narnia related dreams for the rest of his life, repressed the hell out of it, and had to take up painting to cope.

(Incidentally, every now and then with this blog, when I haven't talked a lot about Narnia lately I get kinda huffy with myself. Like, No! This is still a Narnia blog! And then I post like the next eight thoughts I have about Narnia, no matter how stupid they are)

This one

As a kid, every time I was at someone's house and they had a Lazy Susan, I'd crack the exact same joke about "where's the Lazy Edmund." It JUST occurred to me that this is basically the same joke as the Merry Christmas/Pippin Christmas post I see floating around
