(via Wait what? Are you f#cking kidding me?) I had finally found my limit. I was not going to sit around and take any more "you can't do that's" or No for an answer. I was time to get pissed and take action.

[Excerpt from Sorrow Beyond Words: Collected Testimony of the War of Wrath, 4th Edition; ed. Elrond Peredhel. Archive of Cîw Annúminas, inaugural collection]

“Simply reaching Menegroth was a struggle. Doriath had become a twisting nightmare of overgrowth and rot and mists, as Morgoth’s power warred with the remains of the Girdle and our old songs. Ai, our home, our haven! I know the name of every holly in Region, before the exile. We found deadfalls surrounded by dozens of animals who’d lain down beside the trees and rotted before they died. Blind moose more antler than flesh staggered towards us even after a dozen arrows. Vines covered in dripping thorns reached for our eyes. The cherry trees were overladen with fruits that smelled like gangrene. Deildhod stumbled into a nest of maddened vipers, and only escaped because their tails were all tangled together into a festering mass and could hardly move. We never saw or heard a single bird. I’m amazed we lost no one in that whole push through Region. No, I speak a lie. I know how we passed through with nothing worse than scrapes. Elrond was with us, and the ghost of Melian’s love still recognized her kin.

“Esgalduin had nearly been dammed by one of Hírilorn’s fallen boles, but the bridge still held. We crossed and reached the ruined gates, wrought twice and broken twice. Within there was only darkness to be seen; we knew not what manner of horrors Morgoth had sent to infest the city, but Ingwion was unwilling to leave them at the rear of his forces as he moved north, if it could be helped. Celeborn stood at Elrond’s right and myself at his left. Far less an honor guard than the heir of Elu Thingol and Melian Besain deserved. Yet in those dark days it was all the honor we could muster. King Dior Eluchíl had known thirty-six summers when he was unrighteously slain. Queen Elwing Nimaew thirty-five when despair took her to the sea. Lord Elrond Peredhel beheld the city of Elu for the first and only time in his twenty-ninth summer.

“Elrond stood before his inheritance and Sang. He sang a lament, for the lost endless years of joy and peace, for deep halls lit by birdsong and echoing with wisdom, for the Forsaken People who awoke the forest and earth with many voices, for the works of beauty never to be seen again on this side of the sea. He sang a promise, that the glory of Menegroth will be remembered in the songs of Middle-Earth for as long as its children endure. He sang thanks, for the protection the halls granted us until it could shelter us no more. As his song at last ceased, I thought I heard nightingales answering him.

“Stars shone on his brow, and his hair glistened as the vault of night, and the memories of our once-eternal bliss in the woods of Thingol’s realm under Elbereth’s gifts arose in my mind. Let Oropher dream of a deep hall for his own; let Celeborn reign where he will at his wife’s side! I knew in my heart, as the echo of nightingale songs faded, that there was no lord or king I would ever stand beside save Elrond Elwingion.

“The living stone in which our kingdom once thrived knew his voice, and at long last laid down its burden and passed. The darkness over Menegroth was lifted, and we went forth into its corpse, and no beast or orc could stand before us. I do not sing of what we found and left behind when we cast down the bridge and gave leave for the river to flood the caves. It is not worth remembering.”

fought the cfo for the first time very recently. also redid some aspects of my svp card so i'm reposting it... sorry guyse

[astralfandoms]

Joy, toontown be upon ye!!

So starting off, we have my designs for the C.F.O and the S.V.P because i was inspired by some designs on tumblr and decided to do my own crack at it!!

Next is my oc, Cherry Pop, who originally started off as just a Really Tall Toon and then I was like "...hey what if they were a cog" and then it morphed into "they're the head of Robot Resources"!! I have lots ideas that im probably gonna put into another post!! also ignore the fact that it says "antelope" i forgot the word jackalope and never went back to fix it

Next up is a doodle sheet of some of my designs for the managers (i want to eventually ink and color this but for now all you get is messy sketches)!! I have the idea that essentially, after awhile, they replaced just the suits being a part of the body with clothing so that (a) it would be harder for toons to infiltrate and (b) repair costs would go down because the price of fabric is a lot less then the price of metal. So, you have someone like Derrick Man, who is an older model who hasn't transitioned over to the newer model so his suit is a part of him, and then you have someone like Misty, who has transffered over into the clothing style!! I have a lot of headcanons about these guys so 👀👀. also high roller is there because i like to think that he's a seperate person who just pretends to be a fusion for the bit because they think it's funny.

And the final two are just shitposts I decided to make about how down bad Cherry Pop is for the C.F.O and also about my mental state leading up to April.

anyway that's about it!!

Someone come get this silly man

[piinkiheartz]

We're fully aware that Allan is Cathal's dad and fans quick to compare Boldholder from ttevh looks like Graham's Dad. We know Cathal and Graham have some sort of fond brother rivalry. So what if...

[wickedcriminal]

What do you think Hiccup the younger's relationship is like with his niece and nephew, Zephyr and Nuffink? He lowkey looks like one of those fun uncle who lets the kids get away with alot of things. Also Zeph and Nuff are going to be so confused that their dad and uncle share the same first name lol 😂

Younger ADORES those kids. And he comes in a package of three, so Elder's kids not only get Uncle Hiccup, they also get Uncle Fish and Aunt Cami <3

They spoil those kids. Little Fish loves to take them on walks and naps and the kids pick up the bad habit of ankle-biting from their dear aunt Camicazi <3 And Minicup definitely lets them get away with a lot of things, using the royalty card to justify it, of course

He'll teach them dragonese, too, because these kids get to grow up around dragons!

The kids are certainly confused as to why Hiccup and Hiccup share the same name, but they call Elder "dad" anyway so it's not too life changing, lmao. If anything they're going to be mixing up the Fishlegses names! Probably have to call one "uncle Fish" and the other "uncle Legs", lmao!

I’ve been playing around a bit and currently the most recent updates are the pencilwork. Sadly I can’t digitize it since my computer doesn’t work with my Wacom. It’s only halfway backwards compatible (the screen works but the pen doesn’t.)

I need to work on Atticus and kelvin (the boiler) today but. College. Eek!

Stranger Things: The First Shadow PT:!

aka me attempting to pretend i'm a theorist when i'm not So perhaps these theories I've taken out of my ass :)

So, to start this I'm going to begin by saying that the show is only highlighting 2 new parents "Father Newby" and "Chief Hopper".

FATHER NEWBY:

Bob Newby's dad who is most probably a Christian pastor who has 2 kids: Robert Newby and Patty Newby, but Patty is from a different race (she is black). Still that doesn't mean that Bob is biologically his son as it isn't specified if Father Newby has a wife or who Bob/Patty's mom is.

Now, my question is, why are Patty and Father Newby important? These characters are completely new and Patty is even mentioned in the blurb! But I do think I suspect what Father Newby might do in the story.

We know Virginia took Henry to treatment because she blamed him for their hallucinations but we also know that Victor blamed a demon for them, so maybe he called Father Newby to exorcise it. How does this tie with Patty and Bob? Well, according to Stranger Things Wiki, Bob Newby was born in 1947 and Henry was too, so they were probably classmates!!! and maybe Henry told Bob. This also means that the chance that they were friends is high.

CHIEF HOPPER SENIOR:

Chief Hopper is James Hopper Jr.'s dad. Which means that Hopper's job was hereditary. His importance to the plot is more evident because he was probably in charge of investigating the Creel murders.

So my brother somehow got on the topic, with his fellow capstone-mates, of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and how that is in his opinion Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best work. (The fact that this was ALW’s FIRST major work is not lost on any of us in this household.)

My brother was crew chief in our high school theater club, and the show they did fall of his senior year was the stage version of Xanadu. (Which happens to be a BEAST from a technical perspective, at least for a high school theater program that gets approximately zero funding. There’s a phone booth. There’s tap-dancing on desks, which means those desks have to be VERY structurally stable. You need the giant sign letters that light up. There’s a lot of disco balls that have to be dropped strategically. One of the leads spends the entire play on roller skates. She has to get up on a giant pegasus that carries her across the stage while still on those roller skates. Did I mention the no funding?) Which is how he ends up delivering the following exchange from memory, which he last heard something like seven years ago.

“It is a peculiar thing about these mortals. They all know they will die, and yet they are determined to create something. The human spirit it is termed. It makes me feel...feel...oh Erato, what is the word for which I search? You know when something is so grand, and so earnest, yet ultimately so preposterous one has to laugh, what does one call that?”

“Andrew Lloyd Webber!”

“There we are! The human experience gives me great feelings of Andrew Lloyd Webber!”

In case you couldn’t tell, the stage version of Xanadu takes itself, the original movie, the 1980s, and its entire target audience dead seriously and treats them with the utmost reverence.
