Okay but if anyone made a Lotr theater/ opera company au then Aragorn would absolutely be the tired stage technician who is so done with everyones bullshit but still runs around and checks on everyone and reminds them to drink their water.

#gimme legolas and gimli as the diva tenor and baritone who try to drown out the other in their big duet  IT’S DECIDED THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE IT’S CANON FOR THIS AU NO TAKEBACKS!!!

So what about Boromir? Is he the conductor and are the hobbits in the orchestra? Is he a light or sound tech? I’m a bit stuck on this.

oh my god

I feel like Frodo is the guy who was just the swing performer at first, but ended up having to step into the leading role with NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER, and the effort of cramming in all the lyrics and blocking and dialogue just utterly flattens him…

Sam… HMM. Perhaps the rehearsal pianist/keyboard player? The guy who (lbr) is the one who keeps every singer sane, who teaches you every musical cue and walks you slowly through the tricky timing. Works closely with Frodo to get him up to par for opening night?

Merry and Pippin – if these guys aren’t in the brass section, then I don’t know orchestras. They can be found in the nearest pub during every interval. They are loud. Too loud. When they’re not playing they’re talking. And they steal the water bottles from every other player. 

Boromir – OOOH – he might be the Tech Manager for the theatre itself! Which means he knows the building. Whereas Aragorn as Stage Manager is in charge of the show, Boromir is in charge of the equipment (such as orchestra lifts, bars and flytower, house audio etc) and basically runs the building, and heaven help anyone who messes with it

I feel like Gandalf is the director, probably… and omg boo holy shit I love the idea of Arwen as the costume designer!

Favourite LotR moments | Éomer thanking Gimli after the attack on the Hornburg gates.

The postern was closed again, the iron door was barred and piled inside with stones. When all were safe within, Éomer turned: “I thank you, Gimli son of Glóin!” he said. “I did not know that you were with us in the sortie. But oft the unbidden guest proves the best company. How came you there?”
“I followed you to shake off sleep,” said Gimli; “but I looked on the hillmen and they seemed over large for me, so I sat beside a stone to see your sword-play.”
“I shall not find it easy to repay you,” said Éomer.
“There may be many a chance ere the night is over,” laughed the Dwarf. “But I am content. Till now I have hewn naught but wood since I left Moria.”

You don’t understand how perfect this is. Or maybe you do, I don’t know, imma talk about it anyway. 

Bc the stage manager just shows up behind the baby-actors and takes care of them while also scaring them half to death. The Stage Manager looks kinda evil and probably hasn’t showered in a while but knows literally everything. The Stage Manager is the rallying cry when tech gets hard, they are the threat when people mess around, they are the source of safety protocols on late nights, they are the person that the Producer *cough*Elrond*cough* looks to for certainty that everything will be ok. The stage manager is the one that steps up. They are the one to face down everyone else’s problems and pick up everyone else’s slack. They are the one with ancient knowledge that saves the day at the last minute. They are the one with the unexpected dramatic-streak when they’re dealing with jerks. They are the one who you’re pretty sure hasn’t slept since rehearsal started and you know for a fact could kill you nine different ways if they chose to, one of which is just their glare. and then. 

then. 

opening night. 

The Stage Manager shows up, showered and dressed to the nines, and is crowned with glory by the producers for achieving this thing while everyone else cheers and throws flowers. 

This could not be more perfect. 

YUP I ENTIRELY DO

AND YOU ARE ENTIRELY RIGHT

Okay, so I had this dream a couple of nights ago that was basically Lord of the Rings, but all of the horses were replaced with motorcycles.  It was pretty great because it was just pretty much exactly like the films, but with everyone riding around like crazy bike gangs. And everyone had bikes that were unique to their characters. 

Well, like it says on the ring,  “One hog to rule the roads.”

I finally got the new scanner/printer/copier. So I decided to scan this piece as I am really happy with the background. I also really like how it turned out overall as Laindawar is so much shorter than Muil. 

@determamfidd

AHH THAT’S LOVELY! 

I am mesmerised by all the detail! The sword-hilt, Muil’s shoes, even the trim on Laindawar’s tunic! WOW!

My Dísith costume is here, and fits a~MAZE~ing! So much thanks to @houkakyou for the impeccable work done on the clothes and to @determamfidd for the amazing writing that brings characters to life and makes me want to do something in her honor.

Note to self: hair needs to be poofier, lace the bodice tighter, and find beard and boots and jewelry.

*gasps*

HOLY HANNAH YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE

QUEEN DISITH IS HERE AND SHE IS MAGNIFICENT!
