This is part of my ongoing Discworld jacket embroidery project. Of course Great A'Tuin has to be on there. And of course it has to be the biggest one of them all.

I'm going to put the finished product in my masterpost, but I'm so proud of the thing that I have to put it in an extra post beforehand. Enjoy!

In honor of our very first sneak peek of the movie Wicked, my nostalgia kicked into high gear and I'm honoring one of my earliest fandom crazes with a silly little comic I'm calling "Fiyero Doesn't Get Enough Recognition For All The Shit He's Been Through."

Enjoy Fiyero having the weirdest 72 hours of his life.

Sequel comic here.

Ok so when everyone left Rohan after Theoden's funeral, Faramir stayed at Edoras.

I wonder how long he stayed for, and if he regularly came back for visits. Minas Tirith and Meduseld are only a few days ride apart so it's doable.

Did Eowyn, Eomer and Faramir hang out together as a trio. Did Eomer and Faramir grow close as buddies? Did Eomer get used to having Eowyn and Faramir with him in the early days of his kingship? Did they muck around together in their off time and grow close as a unit? Did it almost remind Eomer of when Theodred was alive and the three cousins were as close as anything?

When Eowyn and Faramir left Rohan for Ithilien after their wedding, was Eomer not only saying goodbye to his sister, but his new brother, and the friendship the three of them had formed together? Did Eomer watch Eowyn ride away with her husband and feel the sting because this time, it was him standing on the threshold of their house, watching the two people he loved best riding away together while he was left behind to wait? Did Eowyn and Faramir feel the gap that Eomer's absence leave behind?

(Did that actually make him and Eowyn closer in the long run, because it meant they could fully understand each other at last?)

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

gif makers use the same footage for a gif but they all come out completely different. it shows how everyone’s views on things are different and i think that’s beautiful. shout out to all the gif makers and their beautiful creative minds and their wonderful talents 💗

fics that are like 500 to 1200 words or so often have a particular kind of energy to me - like the author sat bolt upright in bed, struck by the most brilliant inspiration of their entire lives, and then typed as fast as their fingers would allow them to in order to capture it all before it left.

oneshots that are just a straight, clear shot from the brain to the page with no real filter in between? that's good stuff right there.
