Tag Games (Last Thought, Throwback Thursday Saturday, Last Sentence)

Going through my notifications and trying to catch up on the tag games - thanks everyone!

@sallysavestheday tagged me for to share the latest idea I've been mulling over. I haven't really been mulling over any new writing ideas recently, but since I finally finished this art of Maglor and Maedhros with the twins, I have been going through my overly long list of art ideas and WIPs, trying to figure out which ones I want to draw this year (and how many of them I actually have time to work on, realistically). Some of the contenders include Mahtan and Feanor in the forge, a happy, joyful Fingon portrait and Finarfin (with Finrod probably) because he's the only son of Finwe I haven't drawn yet. A couple of ideas involving the 3 Cs also made the cut, and I want to do some Russingon and Daemags. We'll see how many of these I'll actually end up doing :P

~

Was also tagged by @melestasflight and @polutrope for Throwback Thursay - all of my fics are less than a year old, so I just picked one at random (and because Feanor interacting with Finarfin and Finrod was a lot of fun to write):

Mirror Image For his son, Fëanor swallows his pride. (And interprets a brief moment of foresight in entirely the wrong way.)

~

Finally, I was tagged by @thecoolblackwaves @elevenelvenswords @cycas and @thescrapwitch to share the last sentence I wrote and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence:

“I am not going to apologize,” Findekáno says with a stubborn tilt to his chin.

That's 15 words, so I'll re-tag all of the people mentioned above in case they want to do any of the other tag games I've smushed into this post and 15 new people:

@gardensofthemoon @dreamingthroughthenoise @grey-gazania @leucisticpuffin @cilil @maironsbigboobs @grundyscribbling @amethysttribble @ettelene @cuarthol @zealouswerewolfcollector @auntieaugury @elennalore @disorganisedautodidact @between-thepages @shoelace-eating-gopher @camille-lachenille

+ anyone else who sees this and thinks this looks like fun!

Consider yourself tagged for all 3 of these tag games!

Zero pressure, of course!

CHARACTER SONGS TAG

Thank you @jaymber @drunkchasind & @katsigian for the tag!

Game Rules: Choose one of your characters and list song(s) that fit them.

💀 AUGUST "LYNK" TAYLOR 💀

1. HYPNOSIS BY SLEEP TOKEN

And you make it more (you know you hypnotize me always) Than I (you know you hypnotize me always) Could ever feel (you know you hypnotize me always) Before (you know you hypnotize me always)

My main inspo for Lynk came with this song, I had it on repeat for days. At first, it was just for the vibes but now it's the backtrack for a dark part of their backstory. An era of their life plagued by a toxic relationship that changed them irrevocably.

2. SPIRITS BY NOTHING MORE

Lie down, come to Spirits come through Swim up to my head Make old things new It's a little bit heavenly A little bit sick

Another song that I had on repeat, this one is just purely vibes. It served as the backbone for their band's sound, melodic dark vocals mixed with hard breakdowns and growls.

3. LANDMINE BY POLARIS

No restitution, until you understand This world that left you cold Will feed you shit 'til you bite the fucking hand

Lynk is an anarchist and an activist and a lot of their music reflects that. They want their songs to inspire righteous fury and change not stagnation and self pity.

4. CROOKED BY DEALER

And after all these years, life might be rich But in this dog eat dog world You're still the fucking bitch

Every metalcore band has got a few edgy songs and Lynk's is no exception. When they were first starting out they were full of teen angst and following in the mold of their favorite bands. This meant lots of hard breakdowns and screaming meaninglessly at the world.

5. ALKALINE BY SLEEP TOKEN

I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The objects of my desire

Another love song, this time with a happier ending. After swearing off love Lynk finds themself catching feeling for a certain someone. It's the slowest of burns but in the end, they're bonded in a way they could never replicate.

[sabertoothwalrus]

my chilshi marriage comic is not only about to become my most popular dungeon meshi comic, but one of my most successful art posts ever??? which first of all I'm very grateful! I'm just really shocked cause 1. gen stuff tends to do better than ship, at least for this fandom 2. I didn't think that many people liked chilshi????

[solroskajan]

:D

[egophiliac]

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

10 4 first lines & last line game

I was tagged by @sallysavestheday and @camille-lachenille to share the first line of 10 of my fics, but I only have four fics so far, so in no particular oder:

Mirror Image: "Because structural integrity is of the utmost importance, that's why!" Turgon exclaimed, stumbling slightly over his words, but still managing to sound very indignant for one so young.

Unruly and ill-behaved, downright feral even: Fëanáro ran his hand through his hair, looking frustrated. “Nelyo was so charming and eloquent! His short speech during the opening ceremony was better than anything that followed for the rest of the day! But is anyone talking about that? No!”

Laurëndil: Turgon had not expected Elenwë to be there.

Family Portrait The artist Finwë had commissioned to paint a portrait of his family was due to arrive any moment now, but there was still no sign of Fëanáro.

Didn't realize that Fëanor or Turgon are the starring characters in the opening lines of all my fics, but not surprised about it either.

And @herinke tagged me for the last line game! Unfortunately, it's not a very interesting one 😅

Maedhros cleared his throat. “We apologize for having you brought here at this hour and without prior notice.”

Thanks for the tags guys!

I have no idea who has done these already and who hasn't, so I'm just gonna tag the last couple of people I remember seeing on my dash and in my notes (for either of the games, and zero pressure of course): @grey-gazania @amethysttribble @cuarthol @cilil @polutrope @dreamingthroughthenoise @maironsbigboobs
