that's what everyone is saying so clearly it's true

gonna start a rumor that anya taylor-joy is being cast as the necromancer in the hunt for gollum

if it helps, most of the tenrose shippers now are not the tenrose shippers from 20 years ago, largely because they were not born yet.

but also because some of them have now moved on to writing silmarillion fanfiction instead 🥲

this series is finished if you want to read celebrimbor & annatar's story from the beginning!

Not only do we “not mind” if you comment on old fics, we ADORE it when you do that 💕

i know they're just shitposting but i also know they totally would and that hurts me

one fear

not only that but the player character's wife dies...... why does EVERYONE'S wife die.... why

i'm bad at video games too lmao!! it's an interesting system for a game. i just wish i could play more games with my weak skills and bad coordination lol

i had several irls basically liveblog the game to me because they knew i'd have Opinions. someone bought the first one for me back in 2017 and i tried to play it but it was so hard 😭

it could really be a nice slice of life animated series or something 🥺

i saw him live once and it was the worst concert of my life

(happy ya'll got some gay stuff out of it but the oversexualization, male gaze, and fridging women ruined it for me. 😫 video games of that era are soooo misogynistic.)

another day in my life where the accursed algorithm reminds me shadow of mordor lore exists

if you found the first joke funny, do i have a fanmix for you!

where's there an orthodox catholic themed coffee shop? i think that would be a hit

finally went to the cute little coffee shop in town but apparently it's a christian coffee shop, so i'm definitely never going to sit in there to write fanfiction, unless i want to listen to worship music while i write good omens slashfic

this is one of my favorite parts of RotK, just this little sitcom where Pippin gets to be a knight and explore and get into Situations while very serious things are happening outside

Graphic for "a final act" by sariane, with a screenshot of a snowy mountain pine forest from Lord of the Rings Online. The story summary is in a stylized graphic made to look like a quest bestowal window. Text reads: Even if he has not been corrupted fully, love has made his heart too foolish. They are like a sword with a stress crack from tempering too late - ready to shatter at the wrong blow. Antheron has stopped short each time, as Celebrimbor has, both of them ignoring three hundred years' worth of hairline fractures. Yule brings a snowstorm to Eregion and an awful clarity to Celebrimbor. Antheron clings to his vision of a future that will never come.

"a final act": a LOTRO silvergifting fic. 21,098 words, rated T.

Not the end, but an ending. Celebrimbor cannot distract himself from the truth any longer.

my next fic project is even more self-indulgent than the last: i'm collecting all of the poems and songs i've written in tolkien fics over the last 11 yrs, expanding some, and including brief in-universe commentary. it's not super long but i have 12 pages!

absolutely lost it over this.

went on a hike today, got a little lost, and discovered a surprise waterfall

i'm so excited i got to be a part of this journey with you 🙏

and melkor always has yaoi hands for some reason

it's a good lesson in character design, too. usually i can tell who the valar or maiar characters are because of the motifs in their costuming.

this is me in museums asking my art history besties who all the greek figures and catholic saints are

why does some silm fic use footnotes but never actually cite their sources. yes thanks for the elvish translation and paragraph on elvish cultural history. where the FUCK are you getting this from?

whispering "this could be anything. they could be anyone. who is this." as i scroll past slashy silm fanart on tumblr

gen AI posters disrespecting etiquette and not including warnings for sensitive content does not surprise me, sadly. :/
