Give me more [blank] lives AUs, where instead of it being a roundabout way of making everything happy again, in some butterfly effect down the storyline, with that character living, some other character who previously survived ends up dying. I need to tung on heartstrings like a bow and arrow.

[tehcherrya]

I am going on a weekend trip tomorrow-- I won't be able to check Tumblr for that time.

Y'all leave some good stuff for me to come back to -w-

Boromir was a soldier at heart, he always managed to shield his brother from his father's almost infinite sorrows...

Another piece for @boromir-week ! This was supposed to be for yesterday's prompt, grief & sorrow, but it works well enough for today's "Son of Denethor" prompt too, as I imagine this is very closely after Findulas died.

I should have to imagine Boromir always had a little bit of sympathy for his father's plight, his father who was always so very affected and broken by death. Boromir was only six, and barely aware of what was happening when his grandfather died, and the role of stewardship was thrust unto his father. His mother was the only one to tell him what was going on. Why father was so sad for so long.

Though suddenly, only four years later, after the death of his mother, he watched the man he grew up knowing was now so changed. So silent, and grim. Perhaps he could already see the sane surface of his father already start to break a little. He's never seen his father cry so much.

But Faramir needed comfort too. He remembers long ago, the feeling of confusion, of uncertainty. If throughout mourning Findulas, Denethor wouldn't so much as look or speak to the small, crying child, Boromir would be there to bring some light into Faramir's world. A world that Denethor would only darken with his lamentations.

~ Brother of Faramir ~

Something for @boromir-week !! While Boromir is the focus, y'all know I always like to draw Faramir as well. Back when they were so carefree, young, and happy...

"On the Elvenking's head was a crown of berries and leaves, for the autumn was come again. In the spring her wore a crown of woodland flowers."

I started drawing this a while ago when Spring Flowers were actually blooming in the garden, even though we are well near summer now. Enjoy!

[tehcherrya]

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

V - Which character do you relate to most?

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

Happy Pride Month, everyone!!

This goes especially to these two gay hobbitses, in this mini-comic which I very much enjoyed making -w-

[tehcherrya]

RIP Legolas, you would have loved reading the billboards and signs out loud on roadtrips

[tehcherrya]

yeah … 🧍‍♂️

[tehcherrya]

Maybe what I really need in life is for the Lord of Waters to emerge from the Great Sea and order me to seek out the fabled Hidden City as a messenger, giving me a shield crested with my favorite bird

[tehcherrya]

Right now you're mine. All mine.

The Ring was his, in his mind. But little did he know, his mind was someone else's entirely...

Everyone seemed to be real big fans of my last piece, and the rare, spine chilling Frodo energy we don't see very often. I hope this gives off a little bit of the same atmosphere--

[tehcherrya]

Went to see my local state symphony play the soundtrack to Fellowship of the Ring!! :D

It was absolutely amazing, seeing the work of Howard Shore, along with the choral lyricism done by Fran Walsh, just surround your ears, and watching the movie felt like a whole other magical experience.

Also mini Legolas got to come too!

Welcome to Boromir Week!

June 14-20, 2025

After discovering that there was a Boromir Week event 10 years ago and losing sleep because I was constantly thinking about how much Boromir DESERVES to have an event dedicated to him, I decided to try and bring it back.

Bring your Boromir fics, art, gifs, moodboards, and headcanons for a week of being absolutely normal about our beloved Captain of Gondor!

I have made a separate FAQ post with basic information about the event. If you have additional questions, I will do my best to answer them.

Prompts: Day 1: Brother of Faramir, Childhood, Protector and Teacher (Details)

Day 2: Son of Finduilas, Maternal Family, Grief and Loss (Details)

Day 3: Son of Denethor, Paternal Family, Thorongil (Details)

Day 4: Teen Years, Captain of Gondor, Friend of Rohan (Details)

Day 5: The People's Prince, Rivendell, Member of the Fellowship (Details)

Day 6: Change of Fate, Fourth Age, Alternate Universe (Details)

Day 7: Freeform (Details)

[tehcherrya]

On this episode of little details I notice:

There is so much movie magic that goes into the LOTR movies in the way of suspending your belief. Not once are you aware that there are full, human sized actors playing the Hobbits because the perspective and playing with scale is done so well.

Though there is this one shot I can't help but marvel at every time, and if you haven't bothered to pay attention to it before, it's just a testament for how well it's pulled off.

It's THIS SCENE:

Look at their hands.

That is obviously not Billy Boyd's hand, especially because of how small it looks compared to Ian McKellan's, but your brain can register that, it might not be Billy's hand, but it certainly is Pippin's hand.

It's just so impressive, during a scene so close up, where they obviously couldn't have used a scale double for the face, they went the extra length to make Pippin look smaller, having a scale double off screen, having their hand held by Gandalf. So subtle, you might not even notice it at first, but it WORKS.
