#because thats what made me fall in love with LotR

[alwaysahiccupandastrid]

Want to say a massive fuck you to the couple at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square last night/early this morning who were sat next to me for the extended edition Lord of the Rings marathon.

Literally for the whole 12 hours, they did not shut the fuck up - I’m not talking whispers, I’m talking full on loud obnoxious next-to-shouting that I could hear over the very loud soundtrack and battle scenes. Every 30 seconds without fail, it was “DAMN”/“god he’s SO fucking hot”/“SHIT”/“FUCK”/“THAS MY BOI” followed by obnoxious laughter. Double the obnoxious laughter whenever there was the slightest mention of weed or leaves (“THATS US!” - shut the FUCK UP). The boyfriend of the couple was also mansplaining the entire trilogy, as if none of us had fucking seen it (guess what, asshat, yes, I do know that Viggo broke his toe kicking that helmet! Every fucker knows that, you are not special!), as well as every 45 minutes getting up and going past him (constantly brushing against my legs because the space is so small) and blocking my view of the screen. Oh and him and his girlfriend were cuddling up and making out throughout it too.

Worst of all though? Them laughing at me and making fun of me for having my Frodo bear; because I was trying to be thoughtful, I didn’t bring any of my usual fidget toys because they’re noisy and I didn’t want to distract people, plus holding something like a bear helps me feel comfortable and it’s also in theme with an OVERNIGHT LOTR MARATHON. I also find it comforting to silently stim by running my fingers over the bear’s fur/costume. Also them making fun of me for crying at several scenes because a) I love this series so much, b) my nan used to watch it with me (even the extended editions) without a single complaint (she was literally the only one) and c) the scenes where they talk about the grey havens/death not being the end etc were very comforting to me when my nan died so those scenes still make me tear up. I didn’t sob loudly, I just let some tears fall - they still made fun of me and called me names, thinking I couldn’t hear their voices over the music but guess what? I could, because they were annoying and loud as FUCK.

Listen, if you want to talk and make jokes during a movie/marathon, do it at HOME. The other 150 people in the room do NOT care about you or your opinions. If I wanted a running commentary of the trilogy for 12 hours straight, I would have just used my DVDs and listened to the cast commentary; I paid £25 just for the ticket because I wanted to see it on the big screen back to back, not to hear people talk the entire way through and mock me. I’ve been a fan of the films for 8 years now, I do NOT need it explained to me because I’m a woman - funnily enough, I’m more than capable of watching a film series and understanding what’s going on.

Never thought two stoner assholes could ruin LOTR for me but here we are. I was so close to just walking out and going home despite paying so much money to go. I would go next week because they’re doing it again, but at this point I don’t know if I should bother.

munday questions ; accepting

if  you  could  tell  your  muse  something ,  what  would  it  be ?

i would tell this little bastard so many things if i could. theres a lot of things he needs to hear, but would likely refuse to listen to. so i think the most important and effective thing to say to him would be just to tell him that its okay not to be in control all the time, its fine to let go a little bit and not hold on so tight, its okay to breathe and just be yourself sometimes.

which is all extremely hard for him because being something hes not is not just a matter of ego or personal taste or a malicious desire to manipulate people, its an attempt to survive. so i know it wouldnt be just that easy for him buuut. i think he would need to hear that. so that you can tell him to go get therapy and to stop being so self destructive AND regular destructive in a desperate plea for attention and help. like please please go see a psychologist fictional bug (what do i give him instead? i give him emotional issues and cock. just what he needs)

who  is  an  author  whose  writing  inspires  your  own ?

hmmm i wouldn’t say any one author has inspired me directly, theres been many different authors in my life that have played a part in developing my interest in writing. and i would actually say, much of my inspiration comes less from fiction and more from non-fiction sources, and i just let my imagination go the rest of the work. but sometimes you gotta read a good old fashioned novel in order to get new ideas on how to structure sentences, or ideas for how these authors structure plots and develop characters, thats mostly what i’m looking for in terms of ‘inspiration’ when it comes to reading for the sake of developing my own writing.

 when i was younger, i read a lot of vampire fiction, so a lot of anne rice (gag i know, but i was reading anne rice’s near incomprehensible purple prose in 5th grade and somehow *mostly* understanding it, so it gave me a taste for understanding very detailed orientated, sometimes very flowery writing and being able to intergrate more details into my writing without (hopefully) falling into the same pitfalls i saw her fall into)

 i read a lot of classic gothic fiction like bram stoker and edgar allen poe, you know, the basic stuff pretty much every edgy wanna be goth but too poor to actually be goth pre-teen reads. i remember reading a lot of c.s lewis work as a kid, mostly because it was ‘christian approved’ fantasy i could read in my private christian school and among my extended family without being judged for it, and that kinda opened up my mind to the world of fantasy. i enjoyed stuff like bridge to terabitha, a wrinkle in time, stuff where fantasy worlds live adjacent to the ‘real’ world.   i also read quite a bit of holly black and her various fae-centered novels, i was a little too old for the spiderwick chronicles by the time i got into her work, but i was there just in time for the tithe/valiant/ironside series which i LOVED and honestly set the seed in me for later on enjoying fae media and honestly. set the seed in me for fantasizing about having a fae boyfriend, or BEING the fae boyfriend.

 i read tolkien because i grew up watching the lotr movies with my mom, and getting through tolkiens material really made me appreciate movies LOL. i LOVED the last unicorn, both the animated move and the book. the specific genre of ‘cute animals killing eachother brutally in the forest’ which included redwall, warrior cats (at least the first few books i enjoyed), and watership down, i think those books instilled in me my joy of writing violence funnily enough.

 the pellinor series by alison croggon was a massive influence on my love of high fantasy and sprawling adventures over vast lands, her books were exactly the escape i needed at that point in time. i highly suggest her work to anyone who likes tolkien-esque high fantasy.

books like city of brass and reading the assorted stories of 1001 nights really got me interested in middle eastern fantasy, as i had not been exposed much to it before being a westerner. i started expanding my horizons beyond the sort of fantasy media that was ‘curated’ to me (as a white american who grew up christian) and branched out to stories that came from other parts of the world, or came from parts of the world that were familiar, but took inspiration from lesser known examples. i cant think of many examples off the top of my head because they were mostly anthology series i read, but it helped me develop a better impression of fantasy beyond the ‘mainstream’. i also started getting back into horror.

nowadays im primarily inspired by the work of terry pratchett, h.p lovecraft, holly black, susanna clarke, margaret rogerson, c. s. e cooney, tolkien, stephen king, mark z. danielewski (house of leaves changed me)  and toni morrison.

Just here thinking that. Supernatural is its own TV show Era. I mean. This show started in 2005, when anything lgbtq on TV was few and far between. And anything on the community was often used as an excuse to kill, or degrade a character- therein degrading the community. Supernatural was not immune to that unfortunately, throughout most of the show.

When Supernatural first aired, even in Canada we were only just legalizing gay marriage, and it would still be another 10 years before the US followed. Supernatural was around for it all, and broke that barrier. Supernatural in 2020, has turned supernatural 2005 into something lgbtq friendly. Let me explain.

This show started out about two brothers, finding their dad, and hunting the monster of the week while doing so. They aimed this show at a very niche audience. You know, the tough guy that wants to see some heads cut off and some ghosts getting ganked. They also tried to make the show as masculine as possible, to try to keep this niche audience.

• mom killed by mystery creature

•gotta find dad

•sams girlfriend killed in first episode

•new monster every week not much story line other than "we still haven't found dad"

•Dean and Sam being pretty 2 detentional without back stories (Sam went to college, Dean hunted with his shitty dad)- of course that's kinda expected in first seasons, but they still didn't really delve into their past much during this season.

But then the story started progressing. Sam and Dean started becoming people. You can't have a show last very long without characters become people. It just doesn't happen.

Season two started becoming less horror TV show and more fantasy adventure with horror mixed in. This peeked the interests of people outside the niche focal point, especially since the show started getting more emotional as time went on. Less about the monster of the week, more definitive story lines. We started getting closer looks at how the brothers feel towards the world they live in and the burden they carry on their shoulders.

By the end of season 3, the lgbtq community had a pretty firm grip on the show. We tend to revolve around these kinds of series (LOTR, Harry Potter, Buffy, etc.). Especially shows that show challenges like this. Cause while our monsters aren't vampires or werewolves or demon deals, our monsters are very real none the less. It's comforting. (Of course this is my outlook on it, not everyone else feels the same, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who relates this way)

Insert Castiels amazing barn entrance. Cas was a huge hit for the show. Alas, Misha was only supposed to be in the show for 3 episodes (wonder why he decided to make his voice deep? Cause he wasn't expecting to have to keep it up for 12 years 😂😂). But we latched onto him and weren't letting go. We even managed to get the angel that was supposed to replace him killed off the show (rip Anna) and everything snowballed from there.

We started finding comfort in Cas and Deans dance around eachother. Dean started showing signs being bi (just because it's not said in the show, don't mean it's not canon, fight me). And Cas fell for Dean. Did everything for him. Though not every choice was a good one, they were all well intended, and specifically for Dean. Cas became a comfort character for a lot of us. So did Dean. These characters even took a step above people, they started becoming people we knew, we weren't just watching a TV show anymore, we were catching up with friends. Dean and Cas became a part of our lives, they became our family.

So, for the next 12 years, we were fed a whole lot of bullshit queerbaiting between dean and cas, we witnessed the CW try to kill our angel off time and time again. Of course it never stuck though, because we never gave up. We never allowed them to leave our angel in the dust. He was ours. They would not have made it to a season 8 without him. They realized then the amount of pull we had.

And then finally. FINALLY. Over a decade after his first appearance. our constant fighting, our constant need to be HEARD as a group of people, who fell in love with a horror turned love story, got our declaration of love. Our ship was acknowledged in more than just a quick quip. Our ship became canon. We were finally given SOMETHING (I'd go into everything else they should've given us, but thats not what this post is about)

And now? We have turned a show that was full of queer baiting, and low jabs to the lgbtq community all the way from as early as season one, into one of the longest love stories out there. EVERY SINGLE terrible joke they put in to make fun of us? Has turned into a bisexual man learning about himself. Has turned into an angel of the lord learning about love through the eyes of the man he saved. We turned a misogynistic, homophobic show, directed toward cis white males, into a 15 season love story about a nonbinary celestial being in a male vessel, falling in love with a bisexual man, and vice versa.

We did that. We all did that.

And I think that is beautiful

And I can say with almost 100% certainty, it will never happen again.

Supernatural is its own breed. Supernatural is its own genre. And WE created it.

the hobbit trilogy review since ive just watched all 3 in a row(ish)

every single one of those dwarves is my best friend i love them so much

what is the DEAL with tauriel and kili like that shit didnt even make sense. love at first sight and ONLY sight i guess bc they have like 3 whole conversations in the entire trilogy and none of them last more than 2 minutes it seems like. i feel like tauriel and kili could have been interesting characters but they were watered down to function ONLY as the franchise romance. it makes me think of mozarts magic flute and how pamina and tamino are literally the worlds most boring lead characters while papageno, the three ladies, the queen of the night AND EVEN SARASTRO are more interesting

i didnt understand why i had vague memories about bilbo/thorin until the last 30 minutes of five armies but that might also be bc i didnt want to see it because for some reason bilbo looks exactly like m*rt*n fr**m*n????

the anti aging cgi they used on returning lotr cast members was literally so funny to me

Concerning Hobbits can and will always make me cry as it turns out so good on howard shore i guess

relatedly; good score but less bc its memorable as its own work and more because of how they utilized major lotr themes in certain scenes.

thats sort of a lie the in film vocal pieces were great and i loved them

lee pace is the hottest sexiest man alive actually?

i think they really could've just made unexpected journey +MAYBE desolation of smaug and then forgotten 5 armies all together. it was kinda bad

the wilhelm scream. why did they use it. why did they use it AGAIN like. do all movies do this and lotr/hobbit trilogy is just more obvious or what. i lost my shit when i watched that goblin fall to his death in unexpected journey

i enjoyed this experience, but im also going to rewatch lotr because its better and if i choose to watch the hobbit ill probably stop at unexpected journey

[whetstonefires]

"the top three of its forty floors are filled with brass telescopes of every size, pointing in every possible direction, including several that do not exist within the normal three dimensions of space." thats SUCH a cool image / "If any harvest will come." ooh i wonder whats going on / "The roofs are of red tile, the stucco of the houses painted in shades of blue. It stands empty, but has not had time to fall into disrepair." the little bits of detail getting added to the picture im LOVE (1/?)

I’m gonna do these all as one post but broken up for ease of reference, I think.

Thank you! 🥰 Deciding the theme for the Tower and giving it that visual anchor really helped to pull things together. If you consider the whole setup, it seems unlikely the Tower was originally built as an observatory, since those tend to benefit from height (especially if you’re looking around you rather than up, but for the up ones also) and the builders could easily have put it on top of a mountain or at least some hills, but instead put it by the river. It’s above sea level, and it’s away from light pollution, but there were better locations. Nearby.

So either it wasn’t an observatory, and it’s been refitted as one, or they had so many observatories they didn’t care about locating them optimally, there was some other factor making having the tower there important even if it was suboptimal in terms of observation capacity. Or, potentially, it’s been moved since it was built!

:} Yay thank for being interested by the foreshadowing. I tried to put just enough in without actively overshadowing the actual place-setting-up and making the reader impatient with the description. 

"If you look through an enchanted telescope you may see trees without needles fail halfway up the nearest of the great peaks, and even these fail before the top, though there is a span of nearly barren stone past that line, before the snow begins." you: mentions different plants living in different climates me: :0 / there's so much good description!! its all so pretty!! (2/?)

sflka;l;jlk i mean yeah, that’s pretty straightforward isn’t it. But! It establishes How Much Mountain it is visually rather than by saying ‘it was a big fucking mountain’ or ‘it was tall enough for the thinness of atmosphere near the top to create a small tundra region.’

o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

<3 Thank you! I kinda cut loose lmao.

"blocks veined with every color, pale blues and purples, reds and greens and golden-duns all mottling toward white and grey and black" god i want to live there so badly!! this tower is meeting all my standards!! cool pretty magic tower with rad telescopes!!! / "make a remark no one present understands about a Doctor named Seuss. His guide, the dousing tracker Amnaphi, will assume this person to be a famous astronomer from his homeland." im love!! misunderstandings about references!! (?/?)

💗💖✨ Yay! That’s an important feeling to create in fantasy, imo. The wanting. 

I really enjoyed playing with the standard forms for ‘thing made of marble’ here, because all these marbles really exist, but in spite of the existence of the word ‘marbled’ our narrative uses of it tend to be tied up with Neoclassical aesthetics. So very white and smooth, yeah?

Also idk if it’s obvious to the reader but this Tower is to some degree in dialogue with Orthanc, which made a great impression on my mind as a child as the iconic wizardly tower, and while I don’t disagree with any of Tolkien’s use of symbolism for the purposes he was deploying it, there’s so much potential in Isengard as a setting that LotR had no space to explore, even if Tolkien would have noticed those angles at all.

Like...the parkland around the Tower is shown being despoiled for the orcish war machine and then reconquered by the forest, but of course it wasn’t forest to begin with. What was it for before Saruman lost his shit? Ordered gardens, for peaceful contemplation? Who dedicated the space that way? Who maintained it? 

Did Saruman employ a gardener? Did he design his own gardens, or did they come with the keep, which we’re informed was built not by him but by the Numenoreans? 

(“I liked white better” is still one of the greatest lines in a fantasy novel, Tolkien does not get enough credit for his contextually hilarious one-liners that rely on pointed code-switching, but Saruman’s evil rainbow oil-slick robes also sounded really baller and it’s kind of a shame they were not attempted for the movie lol.)

The fact that this is a world designed around a kid getting portal-fantasied into it and staying for 30 years really gives me some options which are fun to deploy but also like. Risky lmao. Because it encourages the reader to surface from the setting-logic and apply their own perspective, which can really break up the magic.

Being able to zoom out on the Tower after all that detail and be like ‘it’s awesome but also it looks like something Doctor Seuss would draw’ was fun though.

"Within the even hexagon of its outer wall, the Tower encloses a great parkland, enough that if it was all put under cultivation it could easily feed as many people as could live in the Tower itself." the tower has PLANTS i love it so much / "Ten Years’ Winter" god PLEASE tell me this is going to get into the agriculture and society stuff game of thrones didn't about long winters that would be SO cool / "Watchers of the Stars" AND they have a cool name holy shit (?/?)

Plants are important! As is food supply. As everyone who’s been reading this blog for a while already knows I think lol.

I mean, it’s not about that, really? The Ten Years’ Winter is a historical event--the most recent meteor impact severe enough to have global climate fallout. The dust it kicked up took a while to settle, and the famines were pretty severe.

But the cultural consequences of something that happened a hundred and fifty years ago exist, and are important, including the relationship between governance and disaster preparedness, which varies a lot regionally as you may imagine. 

Astronomy has a long history as a wizardly sort of activity in the real world, both because it’s had continual overlap with astrology and just because the process has always been mystical and abstruse. In this setting, with a history of both devastating meteor impacts and being invaded from the Moon, but also actual magic, it’s got more obvious practical importance. Although since neither of these are remotely everyday occurrences, the average person on the street might not agree lol.

So it’s on the one hand a purely descriptive title, and on the other hand a serious boast, suggesting as it does that they are primarily responsible for Watching The Sky For Stuff. While also having broader philosophical implications and just sounding nice lol. 

You gotta have good marketing if you want to persist as a wizardly order, because if talented students aren’t motivated to come to you how will you gain new members? Natural replacement is not an ideal strategy to say the least. That’s how you turn into a cult instead of an intellectual powerhouse.

"The northern third of the Tower’s park contains neatly regimented orchards, apples, pears, plums, and a few rows of carefully tended peaches and apricots, all clipped flat against low brick walls angled south and slightly west." hhh t r e e s / "wizards, while enthusiastic about innovation in the abstract, hate change." me too, wizards. me too / "The Tower grounds are filled with refugees." ooh now we get to why everything was empty earlier (?/?)

Trees! Which are also food!

And technology lol. Greenhouses built against fruit walls with good insulation are so much more sensible than ones heated from inside. Obviously as a passive solar-powered technology these only work when the sun is available and not, for example, cut off by a giant dust cloud. 

These people are fairly acutely aware of their dependence on the sun and it figures prominently in a majority of their religions and their magical theory, even more than in ours.

There seems to be a mild consensus that the wizards are relatable. In truth: we are all wizards. :D

Yup! At long last lol.

"This division corresponds imperfectly to the usual split of the town by the course of the Meroda." because people!! take comfort!! in what normalcy they can find!! / "Makeshift pallets line the spaces between every fruit wall—the injured are being laid out here, now that the Tower is full, to get the benefit at night of the warmth meant to mature fruit." the awesome magic tower people trying to do everything they can for the injured who come to them for help in case i thought i couldn't be (?)

more in love / "Half of them are making ready to turn south along the Meroda." oh nooooo / "but the Moon People are the successors of the ancient magics, and just because they could not break the walls the last time they came, according to legend, does not mean they have not worked out a method now." im so worried for the people oh no (?)

Yeah! It really seemed natural. But of course they also aren’t recreating it obsessively; lots of people are grouping up with relatives who normally live across the river, or with people in the same line of work on the river, because people also adapt to circumstances.

No institution is ever perfect, of course, but I’m glad the Watchers have come across this way so far. They’re broadly well-intentioned and mostly well-organized.

And they were not ready for this.

A significant fraction of the reason for the order of the Watchers to exist at all, particularly in this observatory with its great eye fixed ever on the face of the green moon, is to be able to warn the world if this ever happens again. But the Moon People knew they were being watched, this time, and they kept all the build-up to mobilization that might have given them away on the far side of the moon until the last minute.

What the Magister is doing, as I hope was made clear or at least successfully indicated--I wish your commentary on the ending had come through!--is summoning what turns out to be an actual child from another world to do hero stuff.

Even if he’d gotten an adult that would be kidnapping someone to help with your problems, a routine element of the portal fantasy whose ethics have been addressed in a variety of ways, most famously ‘is Lion Jesus and always right.’ 

The reason they need a hero from another world is that the Moon People build a lot of their wards and their offensive and disabling magical attacks around a targeting system based on what planet people are from, because even though they’re originally from the same stock--they’re the descendants of ancient moon colonists who evacuated ahead of a major meteor impact somewhere approaching four thousand years ago--on a magical level having been born and raised on the planet or the moon makes a pretty huge difference. 

So no one can get into the place their magic space elevator is anchored and fuck it up so they can’t keep bringing troops and supply in and loot out. Their single supply line is their only strategic weakness, and they’ve taken appropriate precautions.

Getting someone in from a third location is the best idea anyone’s been able to come up with in the very limited time available. Since no one can figure out how to turn one of the Moon People against the cause they came here for, on short notice, when they aren’t even stopping to talk to anyone so far. Like, that’s clearly not going to happen.

Heron Yl Fanult isn’t unaware that it’s ethically questionable, but he’s doing it anyway.

So I’m glad the ominous imminent oncoming of the Moon People can really be felt, because that atmosphere is fairly essential context for the decisionmaking going on at the top of the Tower.

"Young wizards sit in their bunks, six each to rooms that were previously individual, and hold lighting cupped dancing in their palms." a quick break from being worried to point out that this is rad as hell / "some with their heads decorously covered..." cultural differences!! especially with regional purposes like the Hedro!! 

Thank you! 😆💖 I thought so too lol. 

It also establishes the parameters of the magic system a little more. Throwing lightning bolts is pretty iconicly high-powered, right? And here it’s what most of the student wizards are practicing in anticipation of a battle, because most of them aren’t specced into combat and this is actually one of the easier lethal spells to master, especially if you have an academic background.

‘Electrocute’ isn’t a very flexible spell and it’s easy to lose control of, but it’s actually easier than, say, ‘set on fire to a significant degree in a non-electrical manner’ because concentrating a lot of heat in a certain location takes a lot more brute force than encouraging ionization. 

You can pull most of the actual destructive force for the palm lightning spell out of the physical air and/or earth if you grasp the principles, which is much easier than channeling a comparable amount of magic directly because it doesn’t have to go through you. 

The limiting factors on magic in this setting are how much power you can tap into and how much of it you can actually use without hurting or killing yourself. It’s not usually a lot, though the amount can be increased by things like choosing your workspace, prepping your workspace, and a whole lot of practice and meditation and things like that.

Magical traditions that get bundled under the heading of wizardry tend to focus on force multiplication, obtaining enough contextual understanding of a subject to make whatever power is applied go further. This means a lot of studying theory and using magic to make observations (such as the existence of microorganisms and their connection to disease) and often results in making clever devices based on what you’ve learned that may not actually wind up being magical at all. 

Which is why the solar greenhouse proposal is considered ‘more wizardly’ than the fruit walls, which are wizardly in the first place even though the technology is pretty widespread at this point--it’s carried the principle of minimizing the energy you have to invest to get the result you want to the logical conclusion, where you don’t have to do any magic at all, you just set up the situation and get out of the way and the sun will do the work for you.

Other schools of magic, particularly religious ones, are more likely to emphasize just getting better at handling energy for yourself, which tends to yield a lot more in the way of immediate practical dividends and in a lot of quarters wizards who don’t do something obviously practical like physic or smithcraft with their theoretical background are considered crackpots or dilettantes 

An impression helped along by the fact that being taken on as a student of wizardry at a basic level tends to focus more on your reading comprehension than your ability to actually do any magic, so in places where religious and wizardly institutions coexist the most talented students have a tendency to gravitate toward the religious life. This is particularly marked in areas religiously dominated by the Compact of the Golden Circle, wherein full ordination is contingent on being able to pull off certain fairly hefty rituals, so if you aren’t physically or mentally up to that kind of magical heavy lifting your religious career will stall out in one of the lay fraternities. In some of the cities on Sutouchel, the landmass to the southeast where the Compact is based, a slang term for wizard is ‘sanctum washout.’

But of course force multiplication is something that can scale up pretty far, and studying theory doesn’t stop you from also putting work into your practical skills, and not having talent isn’t the only reason someone would choose not to seek out a clerical career, if it’s even an option. Religion along the Meroda is pretty localized; communities tend to have local deities who correspond to a natural feature like the nearest mountain or the river or something, and if that deity rates a fulltime shrine the keeper also tends to be the major local medical provider, and since the wizards got settled in at the Tower it’s become pretty popular for shrinekeeping families to send their kids there for a year or two to get some educational polish in addition to what their parent already emphasized.

So depending on where you live and what your personal experience has been you’re going to have very different ideas about what wizards are good for.

Hrm. I’ve gone on a tangent. But that wound up taking so long you came back! :D I love it when being turtle works out in my favor.

Or was this actually the meta I was supposed to be doing in the first place? Aaaaa who knows.

im fairly confident you said eight asks survived so this is number nine? anyways onwards! "The hale survivors of the First Battle of the Second Descent sit waiting in their leathers, jack-chains and helmets laughably inadequate armor against the coming danger, and yet the best hope now just as they were on Carun Tol once the wizard fell" i have a lot of emotions about how their best bet is also a terrible bet but its all they have (9/?)

Yes 8. 

Woo, thank you! ^^ & I love that you described it that way because that also describes the ‘summon alien’ spell Yl Fanult is casting and echoing the same emotional theme throughout the scene was very much the goal here.

"Threads have escaped from the braids pinned across the top of her skull: she has not had the chance to take them down for two days." god just the continuation of how desperate everything is / "He leans forward to peer through the narrow glass that has been turned on its articulated base to face the middle of the room, and relaxes very slightly. At least there has been no catastrophic alteration there, either." what does that one do id assume theres no approching army in the middle of the room -

:D Yeah, the fact that one of the chief medics available is already overworked to the point of neglecting nonessential personal hygiene and the enemy isn’t even here yet I hoped would resonate.

Well, remember how some of the telescopes at the beginning point in directions not included in the normal three dimensions of space? :}

- "trained as it long has been upon the face of the moon" also forgot to mention their enemies being from the moon is Rad As Hell / "He snaps his fingers for a spark that falls into the deep circular groove full of distilled spirits, and steps through that as well. He is not burned." ooooh whats he doing / "At his feet lie a glittering piece of gold ore, a moonstone, and a carefully sanded round of pumice." i see the connection to the moonstone bc moon army but i wonder about the others -

Thank you! It took a fair amount of poking before I decided it was a solid approach; it provides just enough physical alienation that there’s no direct cultural relationship and you can have that ‘everyone in the entire world Disliked That’ vibe, without needing to create any complicated magical and cultural explanation for such a long run of isolationism. They were out of contact because they were On The Moon.

Also I really get a kick out of putting space invaders in a fantasy setting in a way that stops just short of turning into sci-fi.

I’m glad the ritual lead-up is exciting! Even if the foreshadowing wasn’t as obvious as I thought it was lol. That’s fixable. 

Gold is for the sun, moonstone is yeah for the moon lol (although in other circumstances people also use jade, because it’s been a long time since the moon was uniformly silver on account of it having been terraformed a few thousand years ago) and pumice is for the world--it’s a stone full of air that floats on water, so it’s popular as an anchoring device for rituals that call on all three local celestial bodies.

"He cannot take much time. He has only until the ring of fire dies." whats he doingggggg / anyways i love this so much!! the descriptions are gorgeous and im so invested in all of everything!! i hope you write more im so curious about it all!! 

XD Ok I covered this already, I would have saved it for down here or Been Mysterious if tumblr hadn’t eaten the last few asks the first time lol. Thank you so much again! For encouragement! Before and now! I’ll try! To keep it going!

Here’s hoping this successfully posts, tumblr just kicked me onto New Dashboard again and disabled the turn-it-off button, so now my alternate posting strategy is borked up too. 🤞😅😘

ME: [complaining about the lack fix-it fics for Sauron/Mairon x Melkor/Morgoth] But who WOULDN’T want a 200K slow-burn redemption arc for the embodiment of chaos/entropy and the Industrial Revolution? 

FRIENDS: Literally only you.

ME: I mean, I know the Industrial Revolution was a shit show make no apologies for it but its also how we get MODERN SCIENCE and that is a metaphor that deserves to be turned into a long fic about gay love.

FRIENDS: I... aren’t we talking about a flaming eyeball?

ME: I mean, Eru’s supposed to be god and all of god’s thoughts are supposed to be valid so what if Melkor’s music clashed in the beginning wasn’t a bug but a feature? WHAT IF HIS MUSIC WOULD’VE MESHED PERFECTLY BUT THERE WAS A VOICE MISSING? Oh my god IMAGE --

FRIENDS: can we not?

ME: It’s Dagor Dagorath. Tolkien Ragnarock. And Melkor’s had his last stand and all his followers are dead and he’s falling apart and staring down Eru like ‘what are u waiting for bitch. U made me like this and knew this was gonna happen; I came out wrong and sang wrong because you wanted me to be wrong so stop pretending to care and end this.’

And Eru is all: [soulful parent eyes] dude, this was never my intention. There was supposed to be a 16th Valar that would’ve provided balance.

And Melkor has no time for this shit so he snaps: Don’t ‘supposed to be’ sad-eyes shit at me. If you had a 16th thought, you should’ve pulled them out of your head with the rest of us. 

And Eru is like [pity face] the 16th was never my thought, Melkor. She was yours. 

And there’s like a ‘waaaaaaaaaah’ record scratch moment because this bitch Melkor has had a chip on his shoulder about not being able to create life since LEGIT THE BEGINNING OF TIME and he’d probs be all ‘bla bla you seek to mock me/lies and treachery/etc’ but Eru is o.p. so they could probs just blast a vision of the potential/reality of it into his mind like ‘haha bitch u were the mightiest of my children and the only one I made capable of creating something greater than myself. Look at this theoretical awesome daughter you failed to have: she is science! JUST LOOK T HER QUANTUM PHYSICS? IS THIS BULLSHIT WAVE/PARTICLE NONSENSE NOT THE EPITOME OF THE CHAOS  AND THE NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY U HOLD SO DEAR?

And -- lets be real with ourselves, this ex-Valar loves science (the way that someone on the internet that posts a lot of nebula pictures loves science), getting into trouble and frustrating the pants off of people and would be proud as punch at having (theoretically) created something as headache-inducing as  theoretical math and quantum physics. I totally buy that if Melkor is the Kanye West sample in the middle of a classical orchestra, a 16th Valar of math/modern science could be the DJ that gets HYPE with that mix. 

FRIENDS: ...[have wandered off to do literally anything else]

ME: And like -- legit every elf that so much as STUBS THEIR TOE in the Silmarillion/Hobbit/LotR gets a time-travel do over fic so why CAN’T I have Melkor and/or Mairon having to go back and fix their fuckups and learn and grow and become the Valar/Maiar they were supposed to be and eventually forge the 16th -- who Eru could not imagine on their own and is both Valar and Maiar and has the potential to save/redeem all 3. 

So Eru’s just like: Melkor I could wipe u from existence and just do the second music already but thats boring and i love u u crazy terrible kid so what do ya say? YOU WANNA DIE NOW OR LIVE AND TRY TO CHANGE? But don’t lie this time bitch I’m not ur bro I can see into ur soul and will gank u the moment u think about fucking around on me. 

So like -- the first 100K is Melkor 1000% trying to find a way to go back on the deal and get back to eviling around while kinda letting Sauron in on the game plan but also not because he’s a dick and 200K later everything is sassy and gay and better and Manwe doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that his shitty niece’s airplane control towers keep fucking with his eagles.

What’s ur fav book and why? If u had to watch one movie for ur whole life, what would it be? What movie defines ur childhood? What’s ur fav comfort food?

Fav book: Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb, am not up to date with the franchise AT ALL but this is the book that made me fall in love with fantasy, I remember reading it when i was what, 12? and being struck with how much details there were in the descriptions, each scene felt so alive… Especially at the beginning, it starts with this kid being held by the hand to the castle and… actually wait.

“The remembrance is almost physical: the chill grayness of the fading day, the remorseless rain that soaked me, the icy cobbles of the strange town’s streets, even the callused roughness of the huge hand that gripped my small one. Sometimes I wonder about that grip. The hand was hard and rough, trapping mine within it. And yet it was warm, and not unkind as it held mine. Only firm. It did not let me slip on the icy streets, but it did not let me escape my fate, either. It was as implacable as the icy gray rain that glazed the trampled snow and ice of the graveled pathway outside the huge wooden doors of the fortified building that stoodlike a fortress within the town itself.”

This was always so evocative to me I can’t explain it I’m just like… this is ALIVE

One movie to watch forever: Mamma Mia I guess because I associate this movie with so much joy and fun

Childhood movies aka the ones i kept rewatching as I grew up: lotr, star wars, the hellboy movies, Disney’s Robin Hood, Men In Black, uhhh thats all that comes to mind rn

Fav comfort food: i try not to turn to food for comfort but uhhh anything sweet… actually i like to turn to starbucks drinks and i wont apologize for it!

Daniel always calls me Mary Poppin or just Mary. Here I'm known as Grace and irl some folks call me that too but my name is actually Grachella. It's hard to pronounce so most of the time people make their own version l and that's okay, too. People at my voulenteering work sometimes call me Frochella because we all give each other nicknames and I kinda love that. Star - what songs do you feel describe you? Drops of Jupiter by Train, Bored by Billie Eilish, idontwannebeyouanymore by Billie Eilish, Dust by Frank Ocean and many many more I can't think of right now.Moon - are you currently reading any books?

It's a biography about Alice who has multiple personalities. It reminds me of a girl i know, the story. Its not a pretty one. Planets - if you could go anywhere, where would you go? Right now I'd go to Mexico. Daniel is there for two months now and I feel like I miss a part of myself.Mercury - describe your aesthetic. Sometimes I live in the 90s and I'm turning up 2pac. Fila's on my feet and a Casio watch on my wrist. I let strands of hair fall down the front of my face while the top is tied in a quirky little ponytail and the back hangs loose, barely reaching my shoulders. Sometimes I live in the 60s. I wear long skirts and tie bows in my hair. I listen to The Civil Wars and feel infinitely soft. The pain and the sorrow, the loss - there's purpose in the ugly parts of life. Sometimes I'm an African queen. I tie my hair in a turban and wear the colours of nature. I radiate elegance. I feel deeply connected to my roots and dance to Gyptian or Jah Cure. I talk in my mother's tongue. Sometimes I am an Victorian witch. I wear a long black dress, the crocheted choker i wear is elegance itself. I cover my body with crystals as I chant a spell or pray to Gaia. See.. I don't think I have one aesthetic because I don't think I'm just one person. Venus - whats your favourite tv show? Shameless, Rick & Morty, Westworld, The Tudors, GoT, Gossip Girl, The Handmaids Tale, Vampire diaries and The Originals. Earth - if you could be anyone else for a day, who would you be?

I am so much more than one sentence. Pluto - if you could meet anyone, alive or dead, who would you meet? J.D. Salinger. Constellations - if you could have one talent, what would it be? The ability to take care of plants.. all my plants always die :/Asteroid - when you die, what do you want te be done with your body? I always wanted to give my body to science but since thats not so easy anymore i decided i want to be cremated. Or if its possible by the time i die, I'd like to be buried in a biodegradable burial pod that turns my body into a tree. Aquarius - whats a topic you enjoy learning about? Languages, science, mythology, philosophy, spirituality, witchcraft and culture are a few things popping into my mind right now. Aquila - do you prefer to read books or watch movies? I read more than i watch movies but i do enjoy a good film every once in a while. Aries - what is something you enjoy doing? Sleeping. Auriga - if you had to pick one villain from any media, who would you rather have to face and why? Delores Umbridge is a foul despicable toad-like villain i have great abhorrence for.

I want people to reminisce me and think "she lived fully and without remorse, she lived the way she wanted and there wasnt any onther way for her to live" Canis Major - How many friends do you have?

[seawitchkaraoke]

(I need cool Tolkien things to regain my humanity/sanity after my term paper is done so lets talk about Tolkien again if thats cool with you) Headcanons for Fëanor, Nerdanel, and sons? Headcanons and or thoughts on everyone's favourite fabulous Balrogslayer, Glorfindel? 1-3 unpopular opinions regarding Silm or Lotr? What kind of dog is Huan?? (personally Id go with bigass Husky, Samoyed, or any size Corgi)

Okay I’ll have you know I just googled “big grey dog” because I know absolutely nothing about dog breeds, but I always imagined Huan to be HUGE (big enough to ride, Celegorm definitely rides around on him, no one can tell me otherwise) and I found he must be an irish wolfshound. They look amazing, I want ten. Like google image them and look at the grey ones, that’s Huan. I love him.

Headcanons about our favourite drama family? Apart from the one where Celegorm rides around on Huan? The boys are all very done with Maglor’s singing, it’s beautiful, but he sings all day, every day and they are just tired, but they will still fight whoever says that Maglor is only the second best musician in Arda, because NO! HE’S THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

Maedhros destroyed every single mirror or reflective thing anywhere near him after Fingon got him back and he was strong enough to do so and also forbit everyone to ever call him Maitimo again. It really shouldn’t matter so much out of all the thngs he’s lost his beauty shouldn’t be such a bg deal, but he hates it and is really bitter and just done.

Feanor is amazing at making jewels and inventing tengwar and making weapons and all kinds of uneccessary stuff, but Nerdanel is amazing and making the most mundane items into an artform. She could make you a spoon and it would be the most perfect and beautiful spoon to ever be created. She could make a chair and you would never want to sit on anything else ever again. That is why Feanor and her work really well together, because Feanor always sees some way to add a little flourish to her things and she always makes sure that Feanor has some actual use for the things he makes. They have arguments over whether “it will look really good” is a good reason on it’s own. She thinks him locking the silmarils aways is the most ridiculous move ever because “your whole thing was that you would look hot wearing them, what are they doing good just locked away?”

The one time she hopes he won’t use the things he makes is when he makes swords.

When Nerdanel’s kids slowly get released from Mandos, she slaps each of them. And then hugs them. And then shouts at them a whole lot.

Glorfindel stays in middle-earth a long time. He doesn’t go with Elrond or Celeborn or Legolas. He eventually shoves Maglor on a ship “go apologize to your mother, you idiot, also Elrond missed you, stop moping and talk to them” but he doesn’t go with them. Instead he stays and protects the human race some longer. Shoves some more elves on boats, who really need to go home and visits Aragorn’s heirs some times, until one time he loses track of time and they have forgotten about him because it’s been generations. Why does he stay? Glorfindel loves middle-earth, loves it with all his heart and, unlike some other people, there’s no one in Valinor who he needs to apologize to. He stayed in Valinor for some time after he got left Mandos and he knows the people he loves there will wait for him. They’ve got time affter all. So he stays until there’s no one left to shove on a boat and then he finally goes himself. And as he sails he really hopes, that Ecthelion will be there when he arrives. The whole reason he went back to middle-earth was that he couldn’t sit around in Valinor just waiting for him. (i love Glorfindel okay, i have a lot of feelings)

Unpopular opinions. Well I never know if my opinions are really unpopular, but here goes. It could be gayer. The whole thing, everything. Come on Tolkien, I know you’re very straight but still. You have so many men, way too many men at least let some of them kiss each other. Also I want more girls. And more girls with names (Eldarion and some daughters? Seriously?)

Okay apart from that…. I like Denethor. I think it isn’t fair that a lot of fanfictions paint him as this horrible abusive asshole. I do believe he favoured Boromir, but my mother favoures my little brother, doesn’t mean she ever abused me. Denethor despaired by the end, but that’s exactly that. The Denethor we actually see in the books is allready falling and he’s still… not a huge asshole. Nowhere near what PJ made him look like (I get why he did it, but honestly PJ wasn’t very nice to that family in general, Boromir was a lot less “i hate Aragorn” in the books)

But yeah…. I love LotR and the Slmarillion. I don’t think they’re absolutely perfect, which is unpopular enough I guess, when I think about some of the guys I’ve talked to in this fandom. Also…. in some instances… I think PJ’s  version of events is…. better. Like Aragorn not carrying the shards of Narsil around in the wild. Or Boromir’s death tbh. “my brother, my captain, my king” is just… a perfect line.

Also I kinda still wish he’d gone through with letting Arwen go to Helms Deep, people would have been so mad it would have been funny. And Luthien went and saved her boyfriend, why can’t Arwen do that? Let Arwen do stuff! (seriously Arwen is supposed to be like Luthien, and she’s Galadriel’s granddaughter, let her be badass!)

That’s it for now. This got way too long, but i’m really happy I have time to finally think about this stuff again, exams are exhausting, who needs them anyway, let’s just not.

"Whew.. all done!" You sighed,

You had just filled in a long tinder bio, you read it over and decided it was okay

*click*

*Tinder bio updated!*

You got up from your desk and headed down to the kitchen

Boxes were spread around the kitchen, as you had only moved in just two days prior. You were scavenging the food boxes when you found a box that wasn't supposed to be there.

It was the box with your mother's stuff in it.

Three months before your move, your mother had passed away peacefully in her sleep, she was suffering from bone cancer for nearly two years. She fought hard but couldn't fight any longer. She was always a brave woman, the strongest you ever knew. So when she passed away, you were torn but you knew it was going to be okay.

You picked up the first thing you saw in the box- a picture, it was of her, holding you when you were a baby, you felt tears on the verge of falling, so when you blinked, you accidentally got tears on the picture, you made sure to quickly wipe them away. You turned the picture over, and saw your mother's beautiful handwriting

"October 4th, 1992, going home!"

This was taken just a couple days after you were born, you smiled, looking down at the picture one last time before placing it back in the box and closing it up to put into the attic.

As you were crossing your room, box in hand, you heard a faint *ting!* coming from your computer.

You put the box outside your bedroom door and headed into your room, sat at the computer: and saw a tinder notification.

*you got a match!*

Only a couple seconds later you saw you got a "super-like" and a direct message by "impala67"

Gandalf11: hello, Dean.

Impala67: hello, Y/N.

Gandalf11: so, I don't really know how this whole tinder thing works.. I'm quite new..

Impala67: well, tinder basically just hooks you up with people with similar interests, and then they go out on a date, and see if it works out or not. A lot of people use this site for one-night-stands but that's not really what I'm here for.

Gandalf11: oh! So.. should.. we.. go on a date..??

Impala67: of course! :) are you free on Tuesday?

Gandalf11: hold on let me check.

Impala67: .. hello? y/n?

~Deans P.O.V~

"Dean! Hurry up we don't have all night!" Sam yelled

"Yeah, yeah!" I yelled back

I got up and put my phone in my pocket, left the room and put on a flannel and a coat, and saw sam already waiting at the door

"Dude.. where's my keys?"

I patted myself down and looked behind me, then I heard tinkling, I looked back at Sam, who, not that surprisingly, was holding my keys teasingly. I walked over to the door, snatched my keys and walked out, and heard him laughing behind me.

I walked up to my baby and opened the door, sam doing the same, and we got in, I started the car, and heard the familiar purr of baby

"Listen to her purr, sammy! Ain't she beautiful?" I exclaimed happily

Sam looked over at me, happy but also a little puzzled

"Dude what's gotten into you? Only two hours ago you were all grumpy then you went on your phone and now suddenly you're so happy" sam chuckled

"What? Can't a guy be happy for once sam? GOD" I said sarcastically.

I looked over at sam, smiling, and watched him laugh while looking out the window. I always loved moments like these, seeing my little brother in a good mood always cheers me up. I started driving onto the main road out of town, there was a pack of vamps camping out in minesota killing sheep and people every week, so we figured we'd go scope the place out.

"Uuuuggghh" you sigh

You sit up straight, your hair is messy, not the cute messy either, and there's mascara smeared all over your face

You open your eyes to see your mirror in front of you, and scare yourself

"JESUS FUCK AND DAMNATION" you've been scared awake, and then realize you got scared over your own reflection, and then you realize and chuckle to yourself, "why am I laughing to myself? That's so sad, so stereotypical it could be in a cheesy fanfiction." You say to yourself

'That too..' you think

'All of that cou-' you stop yourself, you're thinking too deep into this..

You get up from your bed and head down to the kitchen to make yourself some breakfast

"And todays special breakfast is Ramen with a hardboiled egg.." you whisper to yourself

That's when you hear something crash upstairs, your head jets up to look up the stairs behind you

"What the fuck?" You say shakily

You grab a kitchen knife, the water is still boiling behind you, but thats the least of your worries right now.. you tiptoe to the stairs and look up.. there's nothing there..

You walk up the stairs, knife still in hand

You walk to your room

"Sounds like it came from.. in here.."

You open the door, only to see the cutest black kitten, with the brightest blue eyes you've ever seen. It's adorable, but then you notice it isn't moving.. or breathing. It's a stuffed kitten. Somebody, had somehow gotten their hands on a dead kitten, and had stuffed it, then put it on the dead Centre of your room

"Tick tock" somebody says behind you

You turn around quickly, its a woman with long black hair, a black leather jacket, black jeans and black boots on, she's slim but fit, and has an oval shaped face, and she has blue eyes, and pale skin.

You scream, as she attacks you, right after you scream, you hear the front door get busted open, and she whips her head around while pinning you down, and growls "bloody fucking hunters.."

She looks back at you while you're struggling, and then she gets up quickly and as she's about to leave, two big burly men run in, and within seconds she's pinned to the wall with a machete on her neck.

"WHERE'S THE REST OF THE PACK!?" One man yells

The taller man runs over to you and helps you up

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you? Or bite you?" He says, panicked

"N-no why the hell would some stranger bite me?" You ask

"Nevermind that, we have to get you out of here quickly.

He rushes you out to their car and puts a blanket around you.

"My brother is going to deal with her, for now you need to tell me everything that happened." The tall man says

You don't know what it is about him, but you trust him. Maybe it's because he just saved your life.

You're about to tell him all of what happened when suddenly you're interrupted

You look over to your front door, and see a way too familiar face in your now broken doorway

"Dean?"
