i know this is almost def not gonna happen in sansukh, but i love the idea of the feanorian tauriel discussion being an actual thing; like she’s looking for the dwarves, so who better to ask than famous dwarf-friend celebrimbor? so there’s a ginger elf wandering around asking after celebrimbor, and when the feanorians hear about this (or at least the noldor royal family, who didn’t kill that many other elves and were probs reembodied) they naturally think tauriel is celebrimbor’s secret child–

–and are super excited to meet a new relative (this one didn’t even kill any other elves!). celebrimbor is very very confused. the noldor are very welcoming to tauriel, and really interested in getting to know her. tauriel is completely oblivious, and thinks the noldor are just weirdly helpful.

Nonnie, yes you are right – that is not happening in Sansukh, sorry for disappointment… but why the heck does that mean it won’t exist?? Go write it! This is a great premise and I love the idea and I would read the heck out of it! GO WRITE YOUR IDEA INTO THE WORLD, MAKE IT INTO A THING! Love it and name it and dive, dive, dive into it!!

I’ll be honest, I have immediate distrust of anyone that writes Hobbit fic that still has Thorin, Fíli, and Kíli killed off.

Unless that fic immediately follows it by revealing that Middle Earth is actually full of dwarven ghosts that return for the Drama™ by staring at Mahal’s magical Gimli pool for hours on end, and you suddenly find yourself cheering every time another dwarf dies, because you just *know* that reunion in the Halls of Waiting is gonna be amazing. Sure, you’re still crying, but it’s like crying in a long line for an amusement park ride: the wait is a painful test of endurance and you’re scared about what’s to come, but then you ride the ride, get off after a shockingly fun time, and remember that you’re still at that damn amusement park for the rest of the day. Also, you’re now a depression-recovering bisexual dwarven ghost king that has the power to yell WHAT THE FUCK at living people and sometimes they actually listen.

Sansûkh. I’m talking about Sansûkh.

MATE…!!

YOU HAVE MADE MY NIGHT YOU DELICIOUS GENIUS THANK YOU ❤

Reading Meme

I got tagged by @elenothar who is made of awesome. Hey mate! Long time no speaky!

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest?

The Little Prince, by

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It’s been with me for over 30 years.

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next?

*nervous laughter*

Um, I honestly can’t remember what I read last. My brain is currently Swiss cheese… probably one of Dr Karl

Kruszelnicki’s fab books, I pop them like candy.

But I do know that I am waiting for Mr Dets to finish A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson. I got it for his birthday, but I also really wanna read it :)))

3. Which book does everyone like and you hated?

ummmmmmmmm… idk. I have found Asimov’s prose very dusty to get through in the past (and this is coming from a Tolkien fan). I like his world (universe?)-building though.

4. Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t?

Muuuuuuurrrr, tons of them most likely, but remember what I said about brain = Swiss cheese? Nothing is springing to mind!

5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?”

None of them ever ever ever, what the heck is the point of that?

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end?

I always wait til the end – I don’t think I’ve ever spoiled the ending for myself tbh.

7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside?

I like them.

8. Which book character would you switch places with?

Arrrrrrrrrrrgh decisions!

9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)?

My ancient copy of LOTR. My uncle gave it to me, and Tolkien’s universe was a love we shared.

10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way.

HAHAHAHAHAHA we have a book here that Mr Dets stole from his primary school library… it now belongs to the Dwarfling, and the school name and stamp is clearly visible on the inner leaf!

11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person?

I give a LOT of books as presents, but I buy them specially… I’ve never really given away any of my own darlings! Which explains why we just remade/reorganised the ENTIRE FRONT HALF OF THE HOUSE so we could fit in yet.more.bookshelves lmao

12. Which book has been with you to the most places?

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Because irony 😀

13. Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later?

I didn’t mind the ‘reading’ part of the required books, that was good! It was pulling them to pieces afterwards that I resented 🙂

On the other hand, I enjoyed Out of Africa as a kid, and it grated a LOT with me as an adult. Social evolution, I guess.

14. What is the strangest item you’ve ever found in a book?

My grandmother’s school report from 1936. She was 11.

15. Used or brand new?

Both is good.

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses?

I’ve only read The Stand, so I don’t really feel qualified to answer. But why can’t a book be both, honestly? Media can be self-indulgent escapism AND genius simultaneously!

17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book?

*pokes Swiss cheese brain* come on, you dumb thing, work...

18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

War of the Worlds. They’ve never, EVER, EVER done it right.

19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question?

*glares at everything written by Anthony Bourdain*

20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take?

My ferociously smart MIL, who has fab taste in books.

I tag @poplitealqueen, @notanightlight, @peggaboo, @kailthia, @lesbiankiliel, @fishfingersandscarves, @ginervcweasley, @poesiariptide and whoever else wants to do the thing!

if helga hufflepuff isn’t ur favorite founder then ur wrong because when all the other founders were like ‘i’ll teach the smart ones’ and ‘i’ll teach the aristocratic ones’ and ‘i’ll teach the ones who r willing to fight bears with their teeth’ helga was just like ‘fuck that i’ll teach anybody who wants to learn’ and thats how u do education

luke skywalker made SURE that his astral projection wore the sleekest black number (thread count: 900), even brushed off dirt that didn’t hit him just for the drama of it all. there’s only one bad bitch and there he is in custom gucci boots!

And did you notice that he trimmed up his beard too? AND touched up his roots. Iconic.

Somewhere within the Force, Padme Amidala is beaming with pride.

Luke Skywalker astral projected himself dressed in Space Gucci™ head to toe and in peak Dramatique form, purposefully waited until the last moment to reveal to Kyle Ron that his bitch ass had been punkd before immediately peacing out and ascending into the force BUT NOT BEFORE HE GOT ONE LAST DRAMATIC MOODY STARE INTO A BINARY SUNSET (does this planet even have two sun’s?????) like this is it we have reached peak Skywalker Drama anakin is sobbing with pride out in the force honestly when could your fave ever
