Hey Nonnie! Totally true, bc I don’t promote it at ALL, and I don’t think I will, tbh – I only set it up bc someone asked me about it. Here’s my reasoning.

I live in a two-income home, which we are slowly (god, so slowly) paying off. I have a good job, which I love. I’m able to feed myself, my family, and pay for childcare using my earnings and a bit of forward planning (I love my garden!! and I love baking). We budget carefully, and we save a bit of money each week, donate a bit each week. We’re not flush, but we are chugging along ok. We’re ok. 

Other folks who sell their work, art, words, time and effort, are finding it hard to manage rent and food. They need transport, utilities, clothes. There’s natural disasters everywhere when you turn the TV on these days. All those folks need a donation or a contribution WAY more than I do. 

So, though the thought is super appreciated, but I’m sorted for money! If people would like to show their appreciation to me, I am always turned into a stammering blushy squirmy mess by a nice review, the nightly kudos email, a bit of art, a song, or just a keysmash. Seriously, that’d do it, for me. I am a simple potato with simple needs 🙂

I’m honestly HONESTLY more content with money flowing towards those folks who need it. But thank you, Nonnie 🙂

okay, Sansûkh liveblog starts now

(would’ve done it sooner but I had shit to do on Friday, and yesterday I felt like shit + now most people have read it so I don’t have to tag it as spoilers)

@determamfidd

OK SCUSE EVERYBODY, I AM GONNA WIG OUT ABOUT THIS NOW

the tag to block is ‘sansukh liveblog’ if you don’t wanna see my screaming in joy at Erina’s reactions 🙂

Tag Games

I got tagged by @calliope-calliope! Thanks, hon *squishes*

RULES: tag 20 followers you want to know better! (uh, I am bad at that, sorry)

Name: Dets

Nicknames: That IS my nickname. My online one, anyway! I have a few RL ones too, but the most common is the shortened form of my first name. 

Gender: Cis female

Star Sign: Pisces. Glub glub.

Height: 5′3″ (162cm)

Sexuality: Bisexual, greysexual sort of mishmashy mess

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff – though to be fair, I am a studious bookworm of epic proportions also. 

Favorite Animal: Cats of all kinds, polar bears, wombats, mantis shrimp, TORTOISES, dogs with super-floppy ears

Average Hours of Sleep: 7… ish.

Dogs or Cats: I have a cat, and she is the best cat. She is 20 years old and her body is a battlefield of geriatric cat conditions… and she is still the sweetest, most loving, gentlest and prettiest animal. 

(I do like the puppers, too. But my cat is my cat.)

Blankets You Sleep With: I am a cold frog with atrocious blood circulation and the lowest blood pressure you can have without being undead, so all the blankets.

Followers: *waves at you all* HI THERE I LOVE YOU ALL 

Why I Made a Tumblr: Fandom stuff, tbh. 

Reasons for My URL: Mishmash of my names and the word ‘determined’ – because I want to be more steadfast and determined to reach the goals I set. I’ve had a habit of giving up when I get discouraged in the past, and that’s not a good way to live. SCREW THE HATERS AND THE NEGATIVE NANCYS AND SEE IT THROUGH :))) 

I tag whoever wants to do the thing. Do it and tag me! 🙂

Do you think that polysexuality would exist in dwarf culture or does their custom of having a One prevent those sorts of relationships from developing? Can two dwarves have the same One? I’m so interested in this concept.

Hey Nonnie! 

I have answered this question a couple of times before! Try here, and here 🙂

TL;DR – Tolkien says that Dwarves fall in love once. That’s it. There’s nothing – NOTHING – there about “””soulmates””” or destined partners. That’s fanon only. 

There’s also nothing to say that a Dwarf mightn’t fall in love once… but with more than one person!
