I need about 100 more submissions to beat the number I received in 2022, so if you haven't sent me your top 10 musicals yet, I'd really appreciate it if you did 💚

some rumil doodles in response to @whimsicallywiddershins who asked: Oh my god I love your art!!! I'm curious about Rumil. I've never really heard of him and I'm curious about what happened to his eyes....

thank you for the ask!!!! im real happy to hear you like my art, and even happier you took the time to ask about rumil! <333 it took me until your ask to realise that, despite him frequently appearing in group concept sketches n doodles, i've never really elaborated on him haha 😅 i tried to illustrate and summarise some of the key points in the art, but more detailed yap incoming under the cut!

so! to start off, my version of rumil is pretty much at his core the same as canon rumil wherein he's a noldorin sage/scholar responsible for inventing the Sarati and later going on to write the Annals of Valinor. his whole being captured and enslaved in angband for a while comes from the other version of him the Book of Lost Tales, where he was a slave of Melko who learned the speech of monsters and goblins --essentially i thought it'd be fun to combine the two to give him a more complicated backstory ^^

in response to your query about his eyes, i hc that during his time in angband he was one of those who were experimented on by Sauron - acting on Morgoth's orders - during the initial testings for the evolution of elves -> orcs. (maybe sauron thought that blinding the first elf-orcs would make them more unlikely to disobey orders/easier to control? hmm) his band of captives were able to break him out in time and they fled back to safety before he was too far-gone, thus allowing him to reunite with finwe, miriel and co, and then eventually follow Orome to valinor :D

him being miriel's dad was also something i felt would be fun to explore, especially because i thought his ties to Sarati and Feanor would be an interesting dynamic! it's very very much noncanon, and incredibly self-indulgent on my part (im so sorry... 😭), but i like to go on tangents abt their relationship! i think rumil wouldve made attempts to dote on feanor and encourage his linguistic pursuits, but would have been held back a lot on truly being around him by both his health and his lingering guilt about miriel. he is incredibly proud when feanor refines his abandoned Sarati concepts and turns Tengwar into a near-universal system of writing however :D

other thoughts on rumil... hmm... i think he's kind of pitiful tbh. something about him being an absent (albeit not of his own volition) father to miriel, and then in turn him feeling unfit to offer feanor as much emotional support as would be ideal, is a theme i would like to keep exploring (^3^) adding on to the fact that he outlives his wife, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and like 6/7 of his great-grandsons while miraculously not Fading himself gives him an essence with parallels to maglor that i do appreciate...

major apologies for going off on such a rambly tangent, but i do suppose an explanation on my rumil has been overdue for a few years!! i hope i havent misled anyone since i first drew him in that family tree, but thank you so much again for taking the time to ask about him! im always grateful for the interest in my absurd headcanons, and i hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!!! ❤️

Omg XDDD!!! Chapter 4 here guys!?!

Melkor, in order to be forgiven, was forced to join the fellowship of the ring. It looked like a good idea, until he realized it was definitely not.

Hobbits are worse than elves.

nop. That one's beautiful, but the one I'm thinking about is a bit older. (At the very least one year ago) . A bit more purple and happens in a place with grass. You can also see the sky in it. But so much thanks for the try.

Also, they are like showing each other the trees.

Hello!!! I'm looking for a drawing.

It is a suuuuper big digital painting that depicts a lot of valar.Manwe and varda are there and I think they are at the left. The threes also appear. It's really ethereal and super beautiful. I think that it has a lot of pink and purple in it in a dreamy like way.

They could also be yavanna and aule

Intrusive thoughts for 13 years.

controversial take but math really isn’t that hard and i don’t understand why the criticism of anti-intellectualism stops at math. people will go on about poor media literacy and then be like oh but math is too hard, gays can’t do math, i’m just a girl and math is scary.

sorry but understanding fractions is just as important as recognizing literary themes. if you want to protect yourself from propaganda and misinformation you need to understand statistics and be comfortable thinking with numbers.

Hello!!! I want to do a drawing, but have no idea what to do. Pls, tell me a character to draw, or an absolutely stupid idea :D

It can be from the silm, or from any other fandom I have never heard about.

Decálogo para escribir un cuento, de Julio Cortázar

Escribir un cuento es mucho más que relatar una historia breve; es un ejercicio de precisión, ritmo y profundidad. Entre los grandes maestros del género, Julio Cortázar destacó por su capacidad de transformar lo cotidiano en lo fantástico, de jugar con el lenguaje y de desafiar las estructuras narrativas convencionales. Sus cuentos no solo impactan por lo que cuentan, sino por cómo lo cuentan.

Consciente de la dificultad y la exigencia que implica escribir un buen relato, Cortázar elaboró su propio "Decálogo para escribir un cuento", donde compartió sus ideas sobre la naturaleza de la narrativa breve y el trabajo del escritor. Más que una simple lista de consejos, su decálogo es una invitación a reflexionar sobre la literatura como un arte vivo, donde la pasión y la técnica deben ir de la mano.

Si alguna vez te has preguntado qué hace que un cuento sea verdaderamente memorable, acompáñame a descubrir las reglas y principios de uno de los más grandes narradores del siglo XX. Aquí te las dejo:

1. No existen leyes para escribir un cuento, a lo sumo puntos de vista.

2. El cuento es una síntesis centrada en lo significativo de una historia.

3. La novela gana siempre por puntos, mientras que el cuento debe ganar por knock-out.

4. En el cuento no existen personajes ni temas buenos o malos, existen buenos o malos tratamientos.

5. Un buen cuento nace de la significación, intensidad y tensión con que es escrito; del buen manejo de estos tres aspectos.

6. El cuento es una forma cerrada, un mundo propio, una esfericidad.

7. El cuento debe tener vida más allá de su creador.

8. El narrador de un cuento no debe dejar a los personajes al margen de la narración.

9. Lo fantástico en el cuento se crea con la alteración momentánea de lo normal, no con el uso excesivo de lo fantástico.

10. Para escribir buenos cuentos es necesario el oficio del escritor.

“…ese oficio consiste, entre muchas otras cosas, en lograr ese clima propio de todo gran cuento, que obliga a seguir leyendo, que atrapa la atención, que aísla al lector de todo lo que lo rodea para después, terminado el cuento, volver a conectarlo con sus circunstancias de una manera nueva, enriquecida, más honda o más hermosa. Y la única forma en que puede conseguirse este secuestro momentáneo del lector es mediante un estilo basado en la intensidad y en la tensión, un estilo en el que los elementos formales y expresivos se ajusten, sin la menor concesión… tanto la intensidad de la acción como la tensión interna del relato son el producto de lo que antes llamé el oficio de escritor”. (Algunos aspectos del cuento)

Decálogo del perfecto cuentista, de Horacio Quiroga Escribir cuentos es un arte que exige precisión y pasión. Horacio Quiroga, uno de los grandes cuentistas de la literatura latinoamericana, dejó un decálogo que sigue guiando a escritores de todo el mundo. Desde la importancia de la inspiración hasta la disciplina del oficio, estas reglas son una brújula para quienes buscan contar historias inolvidables. Leer artículo Decálogo
