So one of the things I’m looking forward to when #RingsOfPower brings Celeborn back is that with the show’s fondness for visually mirroring scenes between characters, there’s a non-zero chance they’ll re-run a Galadriel and Halbrand scene between G & C, but with her now in Halbrand’s place.

post I could have ghostwritten

I don’t know of one but I love this kind of ship

I think most elves probably wouldn’t care about fandom discourse, but Feanor who started two different kinds of ship war and then turned a pronunciation trend around /s/ into “CLEARLY YOU HATE MY MOTHER” would be great at it.

I so want to write something for this! maybe I can do a short thing…

[lifts head from stupor] future TROP scene in which they pull out Low Opacity Adar doing the “your search for Morgoth's successor should have ended in your own mirror” line over Galadriel in Lothlórien looking down at the waters of her Mirror and seeing a dark crown upon her head [stupor resumes]

if I had a nickel for every time I fumbled the lady Galadriel I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but— [kills Glûg]

Got through the funeral and all things associated today. Doing okay 💛

What your post failed to consider is me, a stranger with bad opinions

Today is #TROPrewatch friday🍿 Ready to meet me for the first time? Arondir is not, but he will anyway✨ #Arondir #Adar

the thing about being in a fandom is that you get to, & many times you NEED to, be the one who makes what you want to see fandom at it's best is a beautiful circle of inspiration, where you see something that makes you want to make something else, which inspires yet more creativity lean into that

Can we just fast-forward the whole funeral to the part of the day when I can get drunk with my cousins

Everyone's always talking about Aragorn as an example of a non-toxic masculine man with a moral compass, who treats women with respect and stands up for those weaker than himself, but no one ever mentions that Optimus Prime does all those things too AND transforms into a truck

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.

Sad chibi Adar🖤 #TheRingsOfPower #Adar

Really nice crossword clue: “Horse Napoleon got on, first of all?” (7) Answer is MARENGO, both the name of Napoleon’s horse and “MARE” + the first letters of “Napoleon got on”

Anyway apologies in advance for any ridiculous posting or writing today. Travelling to the other end of the country for funeral/related things and currently trying to remind myself it is fine! good! healthy! to cry in front of my kids.

Travelling with children makes me really appreciate why my parents’ answer to “are we nearly there yet?” was always just “yes.”

It’s not even 9am and I am already yearning to write House of Finwë fic based entirely on the nonsense that is navigating my various family WhatsApp groups while trying to co-ordinate stressful family things.

anyway here’s some belated WIPWednesday writing (from a Haladriel scene from Names Of Our Wounds)

Fandom fights through vagueposting is the most tiresome thing. Endless “SOME people” “CERTAIN shippers” “one group in this fandom who know what they did” and calls for unnamed people to admit/denounce terrible yet unspecified things done by unidentified others, signed Anonymous, etc etc etc…

In 2024 I painted a Norwegian translation of the Silmarillion, I used Gouache and acrylic paint

Ahhhh this is beautiful! Thank you!

anyway anyway, Celeborn fancasting

Pinterest suggesting me photos. I…

A queen and her two kings.

anywaaaaaaaay, I do not know how to end my Haladriel exchange fic but I don’t want it to just kind of stop, either, so I am going to continue writing in the hope that an ending turns up in time by itself.

hey I wonder what’s going on over on - WOAH never mind forget I asked, back away, back away.
