Oooh fabulous. The originals were slashy enough, can't wait to see the RW&RB version!

I went to read the article and they want me to turn off my ad blocker?
Fuck. Off.

Ah, that explains it. :)

Checking to see if I have an invalid handle.
In other news, I tried making a carnivore cheesecake, but didn't realise Woolies cream cheese is *really* salty. Turned out... interesting.

Sometimes that's the only way.
But just do what absolutely has to be done.

Well the younger ones... not all of the older ones, alas.

There's a trend happening on Threads of people discovering/rediscovering the Anne of Green Gables series, and I am biting my tongue not to mention Marna Nightingale's WWII sequel, not to mention the In Memoriam crossover where Walter is explicitly queer.

Sam & Frodo 🎨 art by Cr. Greg Rutkowski

Without downloading any new pictures where are you mentally

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

*feeds the nice bunny lettuce*
(N.B. that shows what a Fandom Old *I* am.) 😂

People took all the wrong lessons from Tolkien (fantasy race determinism, long-prophesied return of the king, lore coming out your ears)

and none of the right ones (subversive heroes who succeed through failure, overwhelming grief at the passing of an enchanted world).

Legendary duos.. 👍

If I'm cheering anyone on, it's Alex de Minaur. He's that seemingly rare breed: a good tennis player without being a total arse.

The ultimate dilemma: Kyrigos vs Djokovic. Who to support in that case?

Winter in the Shire -art by Joseph Feely

Black and white photo of a beautiful shorthaired tabby cat, my guess is ginger, sitting up on a box or bench or something in front of a white oven.

I love photos like this. There’s nothing unusual going on, someone just saw him and said “Oh he’s so HANDSOME. I have to take picture.” From my collection, 1959.

Generally write in full and post chapter by chapter.
Currently have a WIP I'm writing and posting chapter by chapter which due to Life Events has sat idle for two years. *whistles*

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie

seems relevant to some of the discourse today - take care of yourself friends ❤️

Was assigned The Hobbit in school - quite frankly didn't make it past the third chapter. My mother insisted on taking me to see the Bakshi LOTR and I was *gone*. Purchased the books and read them three times before I finished the Hobbit. 😂 That was 1980.

YouTube video by The Wonder of Tolkien Amazing Documentary of Tolkien & Middle-earth

If you haven't seen it yet -- this is a beautiful and rare documentary of #Tolkien filled with his own kids talking about his works!

Back with another Tolkien fanart, one of the most recognizable scenes I'd wager.
"Flame of Udûn"
Tried to make my interpretation of the Balrog to be as accurate to the book as possible, although it is quite vague.

Hope you like it!

ME: Okay, so, no eggs for breakfast.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, eggs are okay.

ME: But eggs are chickens, right?

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, not until they hatch.

ME: OH. So, a thing isn't a thing until it's born?

CATHOLIC CHURCH: Correct. No, WAIT -
