as written by a Silmarillion-worshipping, non-RoP-watching fan of *color* (yep, I have dark skin too). I swear on Feanor’s burning silmarils that I am not racist. Nor am I “patently evil” as Amazon seems to think all non-lovers of the series are. I also have chosen to distance myself from trigger-inducing RoP discourse, by, well,Continue reading “My issues with Arondir”

Feanor, son of Finwe: master craftsman, linguist, and High King of insults
[minus all the wonderful elven diacritics because I cannot be bothered to format] So, with all the Amazon Rings of Power stuff going on (which I will not discuss here because I am still getting over the fact that Finrod, my beautiful elf lord Finrod, is shockingly bereft of the silky, long, possibly braided tressesContinue reading “Feanor, son of Finwe: master craftsman, linguist, and High King of insults”
WoT: an example of source material diversion done right

In the real world, this rarely happens. But in the perfectly programmedContinue reading “Animal Crossing New Horizons Island Tour: Middle Earth Madness!”
Anime Crush List ♡
Yes, I’m a 28-year old married woman gushing about my hypothetical harem of 2D dudes. Get over it. You see, there is something just sublime about anime boys… Their perfectly crafted, perfectly symmetrical faces, all straight lines and triangular jaws and angled eyebrows… Hair that maintains its immaculate styling and gloss no matter how manyContinue reading “Anime Crush List ♡”
