Since you guys seemed to like the idea of Gigolas in Star Wars, here you go! I’ve started the damn thing. Hope you like it.
(And hey, now the Gigolas tag has 890 stories. *wink* I’m doing my part)
*SCREAMS*
Tag: poplitealqueen
I just had the stupidest, or the most brilliant, idea ever.
Share?
*deep breath* Okay.
Gimli and Legolas’ last memory of Middle Earth is leaving it to sail to Valinor. Next thing they both know, they’re sailing through the stars inside a hollow metal boat being chased by TIE fighters.
“Looks like we’re part o’ another war, lad,” Gimli says with excited exasperation.
Basically they think the Star Wars galaxy is Valinor, and they take to being part of the Rebellion really, really well.
(Also I just really REALLY really want Leia to be compared to Galadriel. I need it. I need Gimli and Legolas to be in fucking awe of this woman. Han is totally an Aragorn type, and Luke obviously gets compared to Hobbits.)
(Gimli has a mithril-hilted lightsaber, too. Because I said so. Legolas can have a badass bowcaster and a couple blasters, too)
YESSSS
Fuck dude that sounds so amazing!!!
I would read this. All of this.
*GASPS*
OMG POP AHHH
Thank You Post
Because I’m bad at thanking individually, and this way I’ll know if I forgot someone. (Which I don’t think I will, but if I do I didn’t do it on purpose!) Ahem.
@punsbulletsandpointythings, for letting me flail my heart at her. There aren’t many people I trust enough to do that to, so… thank you. I needed it last night.
@determamfidd, for always being nice out of nowhere and knowing how it gets.
@norcumi, for reminding me that I do help people, even when I don’t know it.
@the-dragongirl, for never failing to remind me that I’m better than I know.
@lacefedora, for always, always being the first to ask if I’m doing okay.
And to everyone else that said something nice to me when I was starting to fall into a pit again, thank you. Thank you to the moon and back. You make it worth sticking around on here.
*hugs* anything, anytime, Pop.
“My horizon, Gimli, that’s what you are. My reason for waking each morning.”
Let’s play a game called Why Did I Write This In My Phone Notes At Fucking Early O’Clock In the Morning and What Does It Mean?
*clutches face* oh my god that is so beautiful
How to Use a Semicolon
Sit the fuck down, kids. It’s time to learn something.
Ever wondered how you could use this nice, spicy piece of punctuation mark without looking like a dumbass? Here’s an easy, fandom-esque version of doing just that!
First of all, what the fuck is a semicolon for? A semicolon is used to indicate a pause, much like a period or a comma. The difference is that the pause isn’t quite as long as an end mark, nor as brief as the pause of a comma. It’s nice and comfortable in the middle, like the smallest character in your OT3 after the big fuckapalooza chapter.
How the Hell do you use a semicolon? Simple! Here’s a few rules to live by:
*Use a semicolon to separate independent clauses not linked by a coordinating conjunction ( things like this: and, but, or…)
Example: Chirrut believes in the power of the Force; Baze believes in the power of really fucking OP blaster cannons.
*Use a semicolon to separate independent clauses connected by a conjunctive adverb such as however, therefore, nevertheless, furthermore, and consequently.
Example: Gimli and Legolas fucked constantly during their Quest with Aragorn; however, the two swear up and down that they are not a couple.
*Use a semicolon in a series with internal punctuation. In a complex series, it may be hard for readers to know if commas are a part of items or separating the items. In such cases, semicolons can be used to separate the items.
Example: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan have made out all across the galaxy, but especially all over Coruscant, from the Jedi Temple to Palpatine’s office; on Naboo, in the Lake Country; and on Tatooine, on top of the Skywalker Angst Hill.
*Use a semicolon between independent clauses if commas are in one or both of the clauses.
Example: Hera loves Ahsoka, that strong, mysterious former Jedi; and best of all, Ahsoka loves her, too.
I hope that was informative for you! Remember, punctuation can make or break your writing. Use it wisely.
(Special thanks to Grammar Sucks – What to Do to Make Your Writing Much More Better by Joanne Kimes & Gary Robert Muschla for having such a fantastic section on punctuation.)

replied to your post “I HAVE NEVER SEEN LORD OF THE RINGS AND I NEVER SHALL”Sansukh is amazing!
Fuck yeah it is, fam. That fic is a genre all it’s own: kickass.
(Like EVERYONE I know in the SW fandom has heard about it. You know how cool that is? AH. Makes it hard to rec it to people but great to chat about. Pretty sure at least three separate fandoms outside of the Hobbit implode every time she updates.)
*very softly and full of feeling* holy shit
i am gonna F L I P
aaaaaugh thank you Pop, thank you beautiful! damn, that means the world, coming from you ❤
To Fuck with it!
Here’s a bit from Of Iron as well! Because to fuck with it! I did my whole list today, dammit. That warrants two sneaky peekies, possibly even three.
Ahem.
This scene is called Elrond Thinks Dain Ironfoot is fucking awesome because these two would get along swimmingly if they ever met. Argue with me, go on. Try.
AWWWW YESSSSSSSSSSS
Music asks: 1, 5, 28
- 1:A song you like with a color in the title
https://youtu.be/s7dTBoW5H9k (this song is also totally on my Happy playlist)
- 5:A song that needs to be played LOUD
https://youtu.be/Fd33nTCt8NQ (fucking almost blew out the speakers in my friend’s car with this damn song one time. Surreal experience? Driving on a freeway with this song blaring. And then when the Khuzdul chanting starts, MMM. Tingles.)
- 28:A song by an artist with a voice that you love
Light on the Horizon by @determamfidd
(I was gonna put The Iron Hills For Me because god, my heart was stolen by that song, but honestly? Light on the Horizon is just so… OOMPH. If I had to pick one song Dets has done that is Sansukh ™ it’s Light on the Horizon. All that being said, Dets has a damn amazing voice. Funny, sad, epic? Honestly, man.Just BWAH.)
(Although one sure-fire way to make me cry is whisper ‘the iron hills for me…’ out of nowhere.)
sladjhfgaljhfdajhds bless your beautiful face, Pop. You know how much that song took out of me, and I am beyond delighted that you like it so much AHHHHHH
