what she says: i'm fine

what she means: j.r.r. tolkien based luthien the fair, THE most beautiful, wonderful, brave, amazing, loved woman middle earth had supposedly ever seen and ever will see, on his wife, edith. dark-haired, gray-eyed edith, who just looked like a person. a regular person. she was a regular person, not a deathless elf maiden, but to tolkien, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. and she was, because he loved her. his love made her beautiful. he wrote to his son after she died "but the story has gone crooked, & I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos." grief is the price of love. anything that is loved is beautiful.

Just a reminder that I have a Patreon where I post my writing, if any of you want to support me and help me make money as a writer. The lowest tier is only £1.

Link here if you'd care to join :)

Hey, so everyone reblogging this post probably doesn't know this is my side account that I don't really use anymore. My main account is @dandelion-jester, it's a writing account and we have a lot of fun over there.

More importantly, I'm a student who is currently unable to get a job and the only way I have of making money is Patreon, but I have very few patrons. If any of you felt like joining to help a struggling writer, the lowest tier is just £1 a month and it would mean the world to me.

Here's the link

Thank you so much for reading (and if you join my patreon know that you are my favourite person)

Pov: you grew up reading weird fantasy in the early 2000s
