where would u live in arda my good binch

idk like PROBABLY the Far Downs after Elanor & Fastred develop it, or somewhere within reasonable closeness to the Meneltarma in Numenor. Ideally Rivendell but valleys make me claustrophobic and so do misty mountains.

i don’t even know if i’m doing this right but give me som juicy lyrics for túrin maybe????

Gddjjfdhjgdgjfdhhgf I’m, THERE WERE DEFINITELY A NUMBER OF BETTER OPTIONS BUT…..

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn’t mean to make you cry

(……..)

But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go – let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go – let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go – let me go
Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me

I had seen that pic of ur cute smiles before , but not that beautiful dog! :O

she was the most beautiful dog! she was an extraordinarily stubborn sheltie who whenever we took her to the beach, would run up and down its length importantly barking at the waves convinced that her Mad Herding Dog Skillz was the only thing keeping the waves from flooding out indefinitely, and would often affect a snooty unconcerned air apparently to try to make us thing she wasn’t interested even though she was wagging her tail really hard, and would sneeze like 15 times in a row when she got rly excited…..she was Good…. 😦

Ain’t that the truth; it’s like trying to run a functioning government after years of misrule. The whole bureaucracy is messed up; there are whole departments that haven’t even gotten the memo.

(typo, but mocking invocations to the valar before they fire their steampunk cannons at the coast or something)(the something is sauron)

God i’m so weak to steampunky industrial numenor……industrial stuff is just as good an aesthetic for fantasy dystopia as yk….all the other ones that appear in fantasy imagery stuff. and especially fitting for tolkien given the immensely long timescale/overturn of eras and generations, and the sheer number of wildly different nightmare-lands in the legendarium.

replied to your post “I JUST REALIZED THAT THE MENELTARMA IS A MESA”

I always read it as a volcano – that’d explain the cone shape as well as the sudden coming-into-existence and equally sudden and eruptive end of Númenor… XD

that WOULD make sense but otoh too straightforward! why not choose a theory that raises more questions than it answers….that’s how it works right……

replied to your post “002 – Elwing/Earendil?”

earendil is a noldo savugsdnjisd, also seconding star spray (i feel like……………i read a fic once…… idk tho………), also, the ocean? ouch, also: big yes

omg i suddenly very badly want your thoughts on how meeting ar-pharazon would go

i sort of started vaguely outlining a mini-fic about it actually but mostly i figure….multi-stage debate built on a ton of future events that pharazon never imagined or could have foreseen….sort of like, on some level, he was also vaguely apologized to on behalf of his ancestors who didn’t get enough of an explanation – i.e., centered around that quote from the Akallabeth:

“The love of Arda was set in your hearts by Ilúvatar, and he does not plant to no purpose. Nonetheless, many ages of Men unborn may pass ere that purpose is made known; and to you it will be revealed and not to the Valar.”

and kind of like…..ok, compromise, you can be in suspended animation so that you can still be alive and in the world when what answers you seek will be revealed to Men….and get to meet the ancestors whom you hold up as proof of your deserving to see aman…..etc

This reminds me of Thor trying to pick up the cat he doesn’t know is actually the World Serpent, and getting humiliated. *squints at Indo-Europeans*

lmaaaoooooo….i should also mention, this is FAR from the only time this trope of humbling-a-big-ego-via-temporary-humiliation-that-fosters-self-compassion-and-perspectitve-rather-than-resentment in hindu mythology…..it’s kinda obsessed with that trope

Hey friend! Once you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is super cool!) 💖

THANKS UR GREAT 😘 Let me see….

1. I have great hair!!

2. Despite always having been pretty underwhelmed and underwhelmingly lukewarm in romantic relationships previously, I am a v good girlfriend.

3. I react maturely and decently to other ppl’s pain and problems.

4. I have a robust (albeit terrible) sense of humor >_o

5. pretty good at/willing to see things from other ppl’s point of view (much of the time this just makes me even MORE irritated and judgmental about other ppl’s bad opinions, bc I understand the fullness of how bad they are, but it’s helpful in making me nicer at least 51% of the time SO UH)

vardasvapors:

Ok ok I of course mean the Principle Behind Riverdale not the actual show which seems incredibly entertaining based on Lion’s synopses, and also things that are not Cool Nerdtastic Worldbuilding, I am actually super mean and don’t actually even mean aggro stuff, I mean stuff that is to Star Wars (or Tolkien or whatever) what Smurfs Hardcore is to Smurfs, but in the direction of Academia instead of Grittiness
