Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
Au where Athanasia, Irene, and Cale knew each other as Lee Jihye, Jo Ara, and Kim Rok Soo back in Korea during their past lives. Jihye and Rok Soo met in the orphanage and later meet Ara in elementary school before Rok Soo was adopted by his uncle.
They get close enough to the point they even consider each other siblings as all of them were only child's.
I want Cale to have "sisters" from his past life. Can you imagine the angst that Cale lost the girls he saw as his sisters pass away before the apocalypse and he couldn't do anything to stop their deaths?
I want these three to have someone who can relate and understand their pain. Cale could have more people understand him and his personality (so no misunderstandings between them), Athanasia won't have to pretend around them, Irene will have who help with her identity crisis and so on. There a lot of potential for this trio.
Like, Athy runs away (she brings Jennette with her) and looks for Cale. Then they find Irene at Demeter academy in Cherdan kingdom.
Most of Credit for this au goes to @dyinggirldied since their siblings au was just Cale and Athanasia. I just included Irene and Jennette to the au. I just really want Cale to have "little sisters" who are transmigrators like him.
Zepotha's album isn't even called Zepotha it's called "Soundtrack for an 80's Horror Film" like imagine if Welcome Reality was called "Blade Runner Fan Album"

Sauron and the Softboi Artist-to-Dictator Pipeline
Joseph Stalin, Osama bin Laden, Nero, Mussolini, Fidel Castro, Chairman Mao, Francisco Franco, Saddam Hussein, and Kim Jung-Un — what do they have in common?
Mass murder? Yes, but also writing poetry. Although seemingly counterintuitive, iron fists and sentimentality aren’t mutually exclusive. Rulers and verse have a long history. In fact, artists and revolutionaries share core traits: idealism, sensitivity, and desire to leave an impact on others.
But for totalitarians, ‘creating art’ is another way to exert that sweet, sweet control.
Blacksmith-poet to lieutenant-poet to tyrant-poet
Just Sauron at basecamp jotting down songs of power he could use against the sons of Feanor. Best to be prepared.
Sauron’s strength doesn’t lie in physical combat, but in wielding language to deceive and control others. With cunning words and enchantments of sorcery, he is able to seduce and conquer.
The dark verse inscribed into the one ring, and his battle of song against Finrod, reveals that Sauron had mastery of narrative and lyrical verse, which by arguably includes musical composition. The dark lord is practically a troubadour, presumably minus all the singing about courtly love.
Two interesting tidbits:
In Sindarin, Mairon translates into Maeron. Interestingly, Maeron usually refers to a poet.
Sauron and Apollo, best known as the Greek deity of art, music, and poetry, and whom Sauron shares some striking similarities
But would Sauron compose leisurely poetry for himself?
Sure, why not —although perhaps not in the Third Age. He didn’t cultivate this art as a mere tool for domination. The Valar and Maiar are, in essence, storytellers — they sing, tell tales, recite poems, etc.
Sauron isn’t the typical poet who wakes up and wants to write about the beauty of the world. But if Stalin wrote love poems while starving his own people, I’m open to a Sauron who unwinds by expressing feelings.
Magic power of words
Like most dictators, Sauron would have used verse to further his political agenda. Some of which would double as enchantments. Some merely persuasive by evoking powerful imagery. A list of use:
Charm and entertain the likes of Celebrimbor and crew or Ar-Pharazon’s court.
Propaganda and recruitment. Wandering minstrels would circulate poems and songs extolling his (or Morgoth’s) victories — and promised rewards for allegiance.
Moral corruption such as demonic sermons belted from the pulpit at the Temple of Melkor.
Demoralization of enemies. In ye olde times, it was popular to covertly spread crude songs about enemies so others can taunt them. Imagine the Faithful being taunted in public with rude songs.
