#the girls should get their perfect nail polished hands on lotr

[marsconer]

writing lord of the rings fanfic is like. *has three versions of how an event goes* *goes into research tangent on folklore and anthropology* * cries about it* it’s what tolkien would have wanted.

Tagged again by @anotherghoul666 , thank you so much! These are fun.

✨ Get to know me ✨

Current wallpaper: Planets. (Wallpaper and the lock screen are the same image.)

Last song you listened to: Death by Glamour (Metal cover - RichaadEB with familyjules7x)

Currently reading: On a re-read of Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites by Joy Demorra(@/thebibliosphere, don't want to actually tag her since this has nothing to do with her). The book her fanbase bullied her into writing a few years ago. Screenshots from her website I took earlier since I can't be bothered to type it all out.

Last Movie: LOTR - Extended edition marathon while petsitting last weekend.

Craving: Deep tissue massage and twelve hours of sleep on the perfect mattress in a room scented with lavender and cosmic white noise on surround sound speakers.

Currently wearing: Grey jeans, Return of the Living Papa Tshirt, the few pieces of jewelry I can actually tolerate wearing on a daily basis (devotional necklace, bracelet). A musky, suede cologne a cute girl once complimented me on so now it's the only cologne I want to wear. Extremely chipped dark purple nail polish. Pink slippers. Some kind of slutty little robe that doesn't even have pockets so I don't know why I have it. (It's a slutty little robe. That's why I have it.)

How tall are you: Not as tall as I want to be.

Piercings: Both earlobes done at Claire's (retail store that uses a piercing gun for any who are not familiar), nips done by a professional. Claire's healed beautifully, hardly needed to do anything. The nips lasted about a year and a half with intense babying, doing everything right before I threw in the towel and had to get them removed. I miss them so much, and I am Extremely Bitter about it.

Tattoos: None, but I have a whole list. Currently number one is Phedre's Marque on a bicep. Maybe with a little personal flair from the artist, I've seen a ton of variation online and wouldn't mind something unique!

Glasses/contacts: Glasses. I need new ones.

Last drink: Tropical Punch ZOA energy drink.

Last show: Metal Family (It's really cute.)

Last thing you ate: Buttered toast.

Favorite color: Still blue.

Current obsession: Ghost.

Unrelated Obsession: Skyrim (Ugh, Miraak, my love. We could have had so much if the devs weren't complete cowards. The First and the Last, fated to fight as the pawns of something bigger and inescapable. Doom-driven. We should have been able to hold hands and kiss about it.)

Pets: A nine year old bichon-frise/Shih-tzu mix named Honey Belle. She can't live in my apartment so she stays with my dad, who needs everyone to know he can't believe I'm naming myself after the dog. (I DIDN'T, IT WAS JUST A FUNNY COINCIDENCE INVOLVING SONG LYRICS AND AN INSTRUCTOR/FRIEND TRYING TO RAISE MY SELF-ESTEEM.)

Do you have a crush on someone: Everyone whomst is niceys to me and supports my silly little fics. (I promise I'll get back to Femslash February, I am not immune to writer's block.)

Favorite fictional character: I'm going to be incredibly egotistical here and say my DND character from an abandoned campaign, Tenacity (tiefling. Naturally). She was thrown off a cliff when she was a baby and somehow she STILL had the most normal backstory/childhood of the party. (Going through my notes app and found some WIPs of her and her adopted dad, a transmasc aasimar.)

Last place I traveled to: California, to visit family last September. More locally, the cemetery and my walking route. The land is waking up.

#long post #because i can't resist the chance to ramble.

all criticism of rings of power is valid and the show is actually very meh. but i already know i’ll always have a fondness towards it. ever since i was young i was enchanted by tolkien’s world and yet even at eight i had this nagging feeling it was rejecting me. i came to realize it was simply the overwhelming maleness of it. maybe it sounds a bit too ‘political correct-isms’ in this year of our lord 2022 but galadriel as a main character made me feel so welcomed and she’s rash and stubborn and she’s ancient and wise in the original movies but this is a woman ( she-elf ) who spent the last ages hunting a evil those around her stopped believing is still there. i get her. she’s feminine ( yes, even in armor. a sword doesn’t make you less of a woman. ) and she’s heroic and she’s a heroine and she’s being tempted and she’s so personal to me that i don’t care how offensive to tolkien himself it is.
