#the lotr and the silmarillion don't NEED sex to be interesting

[sotwk]

Introduce your writing

Fandoms I write for: Exclusively Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (book and PJ movies). I'm afraid I've realized The Silmarillion is just too far above my writing level, and Rings of Power conflicts too frequently with my headcanons.

Characters I write for: I'm generally open to most LOTR/Hobbit canons, but I have greater interest and strength for the following:

Elves: Thranduil, Legolas, Elrond, Haldir, Lindir

Dwarves: Thorin, Fili

Men: Boromir, Eomer

Hobbits? I prefer using them more as Supporting Characters, since they are so amazing in the sidekick role.

Pairings I write for: LOTR/Hobbit Male Canon + Female OC or Reader; Elrond x Celebrian (my one favorite canon pair)

Ratings I write: Ranges from General Audience to Teen; may go up to borderline Mature, but I do not write Explicit/Smut. (And trust me, you wouldn't want me to, unless slapstick sex is your thing. I'm just too awkward at describing it, and sex should be beautiful!)

Favourite genre: Brotherhood Action and Fluff is my absolute favorite. I also love Adventures and Drama involving Family and Friends. For Romance: Angsty, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining.

Favourite trope: So many; I adore romance tropes when they're well-written! The ones I probably overuse are Mutual Pining, Oblivious Object of Affection, Jealous Third Party, Injury/Healing, and Drama in the Rain.

I take requests: Yes, please! I have an "Always Open" policy on my Ask Box, with the understanding that I can turn down requests I cannot handle, and that a good amount of patience is required from the requestor.

I write AUs: Define AU? I don't do Modern AU or Crossovers.

I write reader-inserts: Yes, but male canon with female reader only, please. I can't seem to make the romance sound genuine otherwise.

Characters I don't write: I can throw in any character as a side/supporting character. But for main characters, I can't write First Age Silm, Valar, or Villains. I try to keep an open mind with everyone else, but I have far better luck with the "favorites" I mentioned above.

Pairings I don't write: I just don't enjoy jumbling up established canon pairings, so please don't ask me to pair up Legolas with Arwen, for example.

Things that squick me: Hardcore NSFW/PWP, intense torture, heavy-handed angst, sexual violence, violence against/death of children. There's a line that I refuse to cross when reading or writing, and I just know it when I see it.

The thing I do best: Umm, I dunno, I hope you can tell me when you review my work. ;)

The thing I like writing least: Walking/traveling scenes. Transitional dialogue. First meetings. Basically story "fat" that actually needs to be trimmed off.

Something about me that shows in my writing: I'm very family-oriented. I'm a mom of boys, thus my preference for brothers and brotherhood themes. I have a sweet husband, so I write gentle leading men.

I also do: REVIEWS. I try to comment on other writers' fics as much as I can, especially when I can tell they put their heart into it and deserve the acknowledgment.

Interested in anything I mentioned? Please hop on over to My Ask Box!

Tumblr shyness should not be a thing; but you can ask Anonymously, if that makes you more comfortable!

tbh what kills me about this whole Rings of Power mess is that, if they had just done this RIGHT they would have had a home run hit. Every Tolkien fan I know would have watched it and made art and fic and bought merchandise and urged their friends and family to watch it! It would be the lotr movies again. It would have hit like the first couple of MCU movies were. It would have been ADORED.

But they chose to cheap out on EVERYTHING and to CHANGE everything to make it ‘sexy’, chose to have their stuntworkers perform dangerous stunts with not enough safety equipment, chose to take beloved characters like Elrond and Galadriel and Celebrimbor and twist them into barely recognizable caricatures... I would be here all day if i tried to list all the things wrong in the short clips we’ve gotten.

It’s gonna fail, and they paved the road themselves. We could have had it all, but instead we got Amazon.

About/BYF under the cut!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi! I'm Tato! I'm a streamer and an artist!

I'm 20, and I'm a gendersatyret, genderfaun and fluidflux boygirl! I'm a femme xenogender trans man for short :3 I'm a non-SAM pan turigirl, a sapphboy/lesboy, a sapphillean, and I'm nebularomantic and demisexual. Just queer is fine too 👍

You can find the rest of my pronouns here on my pronoun page

I fucking love my femme!!! 💥💥💥

♈☀️/♒🌙/♌⬆️ if anyone giv a shit

I'm otherkin, my primary kintypes are alienkin, spacekin, dragonkin and fairykin! Friendly to all kins, linkers and the like <3 (even KFF-ers, i do not care for KFF discourse, get a hobby) I'm auDHD and physically disabled :^ I'm a radical inclusionist and non-traumagenic friendly :]

I openly and proudly reclaim words like femboy, fag, dyke and tranny, as well as cripple on occasion, and I will not tag them. If you don't want to see those words, don't follow me maybe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My hyperfixations switch around a lot! Right now I'm in a quiet period :)

I post about MCYT, as well as LOTR and The Hobbit, and sometimes Star Wars!

I don't make sideblogs for any of my interests, if you follow me you're getting the undiluted stream of all my reblogs. Hope you like me babygirlifying fictional adult men you might not know because that's what you're gonna get :3

Hey! Send me blinkies and userboxes you think I might like!

this shouldn't have to be said but i consume media critically. i'm not. i'm not just fucking chowing down on things and adding all of it to my actual worldview. be sensible

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a linktree where you can find all of my socials! go follow me there too i post bangers :]

if you've got questions or if you just feel like saying hi or sending me pictures of cool bugs, my inbox is open! anon is even on if you're shy! hate will be ignored and blocked unless it's funny as shit or deeply perplexing

Check "#art" on my blog to see my drawings, and "#tato speaks" for my occasional rambles about stuff with no. i also have "#mutuals my beloveds" specifically for interacting with mutuals

I might forget to tag triggers so if you need me to tag something for you, don't be afraid to send an ask!

occasional sex jokes or suggestive art will be tagged #suggestive, nothing outright nsfw but if you don't wanna see those, block that tag!

BYF:

If you don't understand something on my DNI it most certainly doesn't apply to you <3

General DNI: Racists, queerphobes, ableists (including people who believe in narcissistic abuse, BPD abuse, and the like), zoos, radqueers, transx/transID (transrace*, transdisabled, etc), proshippers** and anti-antis, (NO)MAPs and other pedos, exclusionists of any kind, anti-kin, transandrophobes and transmisogynists, transmeds, anti-non traumagenic, fakeclaimers, fatphobes, "pro-lifers", pro ED/self-harm, cryptobros, nftbros, aibros, Harry Potter fans (i don't care if you "don't support JKR")

*not in the "kid adopted by parents of a different race" way, i do mean in the ""transitioning" to a different race than the one you are" way

**mostly for underage x adult and/or incest pairings, i'm more lenient on toxic or otherwise unhealthy pairings because they're just fun sometimes

For MCYT fans: I do not support cc!Dream, cc!George, cc!Sapnap, cc!Forever or cc!Wilbur - Stans and apologists DNI

For SW fans: Any flavor of Padawan x Master and clonecest shippers DNI

For LOTR, the Hobbit and Silmarillion fans: People who get mad about, or even just like, weirdly defensive against queer readings and headcanons DNI. i doubt you would have survived the rest of this post but. just in case. you don't even have to agree that blorbo from your book is queer, you just need to be normal about the idea that they could be. it's free and easy!

I'm not super strict with this one but I would prefer people under 15 to tread lightly; you can interact and follow, but yknow, treat me like you'd treat any adult stranger. No upper age limit though I don't care about that, love and light. The generational divide is a scam anyways.

In general I block liberally. You could pass my DNI but still fail the vibe check. Something something curating your online experience <3
