#ten gold stars!!!

[tathrin]

The Extremely Serious and Scientific Legolas Fandom Hair Colour Poll:

What colour hair do you picture in your head for your personal mental image of Legolas of the Woodland Realm? (Not necessarily which one you think is more or less "canonical"; rather just what you see in your head when you're reading something.)

Ideally, you can also share when and how you were first exposed to Lord of the Rings in the tags or reblogs, and what you think most influenced your mental image.

No I'm not procrastinating from writing stuff, go away.

#personally i've pictured him and his dad both looking just like saaski from eloise mcgraw's ''moorchild'' since my first read of the hobbit #(and it'll take a lot more than his silhouette against the stars to pry that image from my cold dead and re-embodied hands lol) #that's just too good a visual to give up ESPECIALLY with all the gimli ''hands shall flow with gold'' stuff that comes in later #but i was around in the 2000s for when the fandom divided into two very distinct and passionate camps on this question #with the fact that he'd been often illustrated with blonde hair and occasionally with dark getting subsumed by Movie vs Book Snobbery wars #where everybody had to be Very Certain And Concrete In Their Canon Arguments about which was his One True Haircolor #so i'm curious what the general consensus (or if there even is one) is now #but i don't expect an actual answer from the ten people following my blog who will see this poll so instead let's do something silly with i #because what else are tumblr polls for? #polls #legolas #lotr #lord of the rings #lotr polls #fandom polls

Yknow? With the Xianzhou’s curse of the Abundance and the issues they faced with overpopulation and stagnation because of the undying before they began walking the path of the Hunt, there probably isn’t a ton of cultural pressure to get married and have kids which is absolutely wild considering how leaving behind descendants and the continuation of your bloodline is a whole big thing in Chinese culture

#yeah I stumbled on this thought while thinking it’s funny that jing yuan is an 800yo bachelor #who’ll probably get taken away by the ten lords commission any year now but just suddenly decided to take on a disciple/adopt a child #mind your business. #but seriously. the man’s gorgeous and has a high status and canonically has a lot of admirers #but he decided to skip the marriage step and headed straight to fatherhood (his peers are probably great-grandparents by now) #they both have gold eyes I wonder if people speculated whether yanqing was an illegitimate child #and whether jy’s admirers resent him. not only does he get to take up the general’s time he also has the energy of an angry chihuahua that #will bite you for looking at its human funny #pika’s ramblings #honkai star rail #hsr #xianzhou alliance

there are some things that in hindsight become infinitely funnier, one of them being what qrow says in v5.1 after ren suggests a possibility of a more peaceful approach:

We need to get Spring as far away from here as possible. And Raven isn't going to give up her most prized possession without a fight.

ah yes, raven's most prized possession: herself.

#rwby #rwby5 #i mean he's not *wrong* #raven will absolutely fight for herself #she's not going to be anyone's sacrifice #but also #“we need to get spring as far away from here as possible” #-> spring ends up being right in the middle of it all and oop. the relic is out #great job everyone! #ten points and a gold star for effort!

[resetting37]

#oc #okay two of them are specific to us and not their universe #but I'm think ~hypothetically~ or at least their universe's version of house of leaves and happy bunny #anyway gold star if you can guess which ocs theses options represent #maybe extra ten million stars because this is hard mode x 10

i will never understand why doomsday's bad wolf bay scene score was never released.

#that part when ten's hologram disappears and rose's theme's final part starts playing #somewhere around the score it sounds like across the stars. reminds me of another star crossed lovers #the shot of rose stranded alone on the beach and crying and ten alone in his tardis also crying #murray gold gave us banger tenrose scores and im thankful but SOME OF THEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED #tenrose #doctor who #doomsday #murray gold #tenth doctor #rose tyler #bad wolf #doctorrose #10th doctor #the doctor #doctor who score

you don’t like childe? (If so I think I’m in love I was starting to think I was the only one XD if not. Truly my bad, did not mean to offend)

I don’t like Childe. Glad to see I’m not alone!

Don’t get me wrong, he’s an interesting villain but I’m not one to go “if evil why hot” and then forgive him for all the shit he’s put us through

As @worldsokayestmagicalgirl puts it, it’s the feeling of wanting to put him in a glass jar and shake it around violently to see what he does more than anything else. Like a twisted case study of sorts

I also don’t ship him with Zhongli. Do you know how hard it is to find a fic where that pairing is not in it or heavily implied??? At this point I’m treating it like a crack ship just to cope.

#I also didn’t appreciate the FORCED BABYSITTING DUTY #what’s sad is that I have the best(?) luck on his banners #I did a random ten pull at zero pity just to get a Chongyun constellation on his banner and it turned gold #never been happier to lose a 50/50 #and then I blessed one of my friends who does like Childe on their weapon pulls #AND THEY GOT TWO KAGURA’S VARIETIES AND THE POLAR STAR WITHIN 20 PULLS #why can’t that luck go towards characters I like!! #delete later

I have made Article Progress (I copy pasted the main part of that one from the metal hammer website into a google doc, where theoretically I will add the rest)

#collecting my gold star for doing the easiest subtask of this entire thing #⭐️☺️ #typing a star emoji has shown me a whole new set of sneaky eating disorder tags i hadn't heard of before. once again tumblr #banning tags does not make people stop discussing the thing it makes them tag it ten thousand different things that nobody knows to block

[wildspringday]

wish i could put a little shiny gold star on all the posts i love

#like you get ten gold stars and we can have a pizza party!!

[youaremysunshine-court]

Exactly a month and 4 days before I find out if my life is going in the direction I want it to

#i get uni app results on june second #i need to get into a specific university if i want my ten year plan to be a gold star version #if i dont get in my ten year plan still works itll just be a mid ten years

[fraddit]

Somewhere between 100 and 400 depending on the particulars. Most of it was planning instead of prose. It got longer again 😩

#sorry to anyone who eventually reads this fic when i eventually post it ten years from now #if it's meandering and boring as hell #but i'm writing my truth and not cutting stuff i don't want to cut lol #i really wanted to keep going but i hit a wall #thanks lack of sleep 😒 #i get a gold star

Much shit can be said about me, but “did not live up to her talk” is not one of them.

#Strig IRL #will delete #I may have casually picked some office drama bc idk how they're allowed but somebody was like "HAVE A PICTURE OF JESUS BC /EASTER/' #and I was like....you know what I'ma leave a note reminding y'all that spring festivals are inherently pagan #spring festivals existed thousands of years before abrahamism and like. I appreciate ur enthusiasm but you did not corner this market. #you guys talk and it's like. I'm ten years old and I DISCOVERED 80's music. No. You didn't. It was there decades before you. #You do not and never will get a gold star for stealing other people's shit. This is the ted talk. #I also feel like if anyone says anything I can be like my dude......you are verging so close to lawsuit territory. quit while you're ahead.

[forestofsprites]

you strike me as someone who is like really organised? idk why i think that but that’s the vibe i get

omg yeah that is spot on ???!!! idk if it’s the olde autism or me trying to keep things organised bc of the memory loss but yeah… i have 3 different calendars- monthly, weekly, daily-, lists for absolutely everything, and physical spaces are also very organised! whenever i’m stressed i just organise things. i have no clue how you got it but 10/10 anon <3
