Bless you

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

What they don’t tell you about speaking multiple languages is that your brain does not in fact have a box labeled Spanish and another one labeled German. Instead it has a box labeled “Not English” and sometimes when you’re talking or writing in one of the languages you speak it will just start pulling random words from that box.

Love writing. Hate writing. Love my prose. Hate my prose. Writing today (positive). Writing today (dying). There’s always tomorrow (yay!) There’s always tomorrow (FUCK).

Do you have a favorite headcannon for cultural differences between Hobbits and Dwarves? I love cultural differences for the Hobbit and am always down to hear others opinions on what those might be.

*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer within a certain amount of time or at all.

Well I love the trope of miscommunication due to cultural differences. My 'favorite miscommunication' is the reason for gift giving. As in Hobbits frequently giving gifts which more often than not are homemade, like pies or jam, knitted or sewed items, a little figure carved from wood, etc. Hobbits give gifts to show appreciation or simply for the pleasure of sharing. Sometimes, because it is polite. So giving and receiving a gift is not that much of a deal and sometimes even expected.

For the dwarves, the significance of gift giving depends on certain factors:

Is the gift handmade?

Is the receiver related to the giver or has a close relationship to them (like bonds forged in battle, strong friendship,...)?

What is the reason for giving the gift? Simple appreciation or a certain intend?

How does the receiver react to the gift?

Giving gifts between family members is fine and happens frequently without big ceremonies or tamtam. If two shield brothers, who have fought together for some time or who survived a harsh battle together, give a gift to one another, it's to show appreciation or to gift something that ensures better protection (to show you wamt your shield brother to survive a long time).

However dwarves do not simply give, solely for the pleasure of it, but with intent. And based on the circumstances named above, the intent of the gift giver can be understood from outside viewers.

Now the company has been giving gifts to Bilbo. Because he is their comrade, who has fought beside him, because he is their friend, because be saved their lives. (Because they want to keep him.) Bilbo, during their journey, hasn't really been able to reciprocate. There wasn't much he could cook or bake, the food was too scarce. Most nights, he was too anxious to get into his storyteller mindset and give the dwarves a tale of their own. The dwarves don't really mind, that Bilbo does not give them a gift back in turn. The gifts aren't given with the implication of having to give back after all. But for Bilbo, it is a terrible rudeness and he can't wait to be able to give back.

Both parties get really confused by the abundance of gifts and the reactions of the receivers.

My sister left her travel mug in the car over the weekend, and we found this, the condensation left this beautiful pattern of frost:

Fronds left in darling swirls and spirals, it’s crystalline structure resembling ferns. Lord above it’s stunning! It struck me with such a wonder. The smallest of things in nature, it’s wonderful.

Just thinking about how glorious this Earth and all her wonders are. What a way to start the day.

Just got a new drawing app, so I just spent today messing around with different brushes and tools.

This is what came of my doodling,
