poplitealqueen:

*pops knuckles*

(actually doesn’t because she hates the sound that makes with a burning passion, plus it can fuck up your fingers)

I am sad to say I don’t know @girlofshadowsandstars very much at all. (I think I recognize the name Dani, though, but that’s likely from your blog, Fishy) so I don’t have much I can say about her.

However, if she’s your friend, she must be Koala Tea person material because *you’re* Koala Tea person material.

I’ve already showered @lacefedora with praise, but I will so do it again. Lace is great, she’s amazing, she’s a wonderful and cherished friend that I will one day meet and get sushi with (and drink with too, fuck it. WE ARE ADULTS DAMMIT AND SHE LIVES NEXT TO VEGAS. WHICH MEANS BUFFETS AND BOOZE.) 

Just today, I saw that Lace had drawn me something for my fic. Legit just out of the blue. How many people do that??? TO SOMEONE LIKE ME??? I don’t deserve such an astounding human being around me.

(I just made this all about me. Ew. Moving on)

Lace is great. Super duper uper great. Great great great.

@flamesburnonthemountainside MY DEAR MY DAIN-O. Dain is such a blast, she really is. We don’t talk as often as we used to, but I know that if I dropped her a line we’d be back to chatting like a pair of hens.

(Blame her for teaching the word ‘deffo’)

Dain is talented. (Seriously, just listen to her voice in the Sansukh Podfic if you don’t believe me). She also writes lovely things, and she’s funny. I hope she has a good day/night tonight (probably night, if she’s still an insomnia owl, hehe)

@killaidanturner is also someone I don’t know (knowing people is hard.) but I recognize the username from your blog yet again! I will say what I said with Dani: if you like them, fish, they must be made of Good Awesome Stuff. (holy shit that spells gas. *snortles*)

*claps* and @determamfidd. Holy fucking shitake mushrooms, where to begin with this amazing woman? First of all, this should go without saying: she’s a stupendous talent. Any fandom she’s in, she leaves a mark. She writes masterpieces, she composes masterpieces, she IS a masterpiece. Just.

*brain ‘splosion*

Yet despite all that awesomeness confined in one person, she’s one of the most humble people I have ever met. She will never ever ever take the spotlight from someone else – she’s one of those people that gets thrust into it, waves a little, and you fall immediately in love with her.

Also one of the kindest. It doesn’t how little she knows you, if she sees you’re having a hard time she will do something to cheer you up. She’s funny, fucking adorable like whoa, and nice. She’s one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, least of all having the privilege to call a friend.

You’re a good, astounding person, Dets. We’re all lucky to have you around. Also, 9026 kudos, baby!!! YOU BETTER GET YOUR DANCE PANTS ON. AND A BEARD. AHA)

(And since this is getting long and incomprehensible, I’ll do you in another post, Fish ;3)

Did someone say fat elves…?

@bace-jeleren, have you seen these high quality elves yet?

I haven’t seen the third elf and let me say that this post just keeps getting better and better!

@luucalio I heard ‘fat elves’ and immediately thought of you ahhh i think about Crimna way too often i love him XD

crimna is the Big Man Fat Elf™ and I love that about him, thank u im so glad you thought of him too 

this post is my favourite ever…. -maxie

How do you come up with all your lovely names for elves and dwarves? I always struggle for names for originals!

Hey Nonnie!

Oh god, this is a bugbear for anybody I think. I made up some naming conventions for Dwarves, which I have linked here

Tolkien mined the Völuspá saga for his Dwarf names… and there are actually a whole bunch of names he DIDN’T USE, so go to town! 

For the race of Men, I have used names similar in rhythm and vowel quality to the ones Tolkien already made up. It’s worth remembering that every name has a culture attached to it! A Rohirric name is different to a Gondorian one! (e.g. Folcwine, Gamling vs Faramir, Beregond etc).

There’s plenty of Elven Name generators, if you wanted to cheat a bit! Here’s one!

I also made up a WHOLE LIST OF SINDARIN NAMES for possible Mirkwood Elves, using the Sindarin-English dictionary project Hisweloke. Here they are reproduced for you, to get some sort of idea of how I did it!

Laerophen – Tree Song
Laindawar – Free Forest
Taembeng – Long Bow
Ecthelben – spear point
Magol – Sword
Haedirn – Remote watcher
Hathol – Blade
Lagorind – swift thought
Merilin – nightingale
Mithrad – wandering path
Talathar – flat land of grass
Cúdan – Bow-wright
Meneglas – thousand leaves
Síriel – daughter of the river 

When it comes to the Dwarven dark-names, I spent ages and AGES AND AAAGES wrestling with Neo-Khuzdul to find something that works (and that I can somewhat pronounce!!!)

kazimakuwabara:

Kili and Hrera, from chapter 42 of Sansukh, written by @determamfidd


So there’s this lovely scene in chapter 42, where Hrera comments that she and Kili are alike, and while it’s so sad, it is also easily my most favorite thing in the whole series. Kili and Hrera having this small bitter sweet moment. 

I love all the designs i’ve seen of Hrera, Jeza-red easily having the most amazing drawings of her! But i got this idea in my head of hair swooping back into these branch like buns on her head so i thought i’d try it. In Hrera’s beard is a mythril ornament, where her beard has been wound to form the shape of a tree.

I’m really glad i got to sit down and draw this-it’s been hard to draw anything or write for that matter. My work has now had overtime for two solid months so i’ve been very tired. I feel my art looks a little ill practiced, but i’m so glad i got to do this. Can’t wait for more story!

AAAAAH KAZIIII!!!

yes yes yes yes yes yES YES!!!

that hair design makes my heart STOP HOLY SHIT if i were ever to cosplay I would do THAT bc it is AMAZING, THAT HRERA IS AMAZING

oh kili – his face here, you have his brave little stoic face, all his smiles and jokes and armour stripped away i JUST

KAZ IT IS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT AND I LOVE YOU

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH
