'Maglor owes Galadriel money' is my new favourite headcanon, omg ahahaha
brilliant
The voyage west at the end of Return of the King is extremely funny to me, because just look at who's on board. You've got:
Frodo Baggins, hero of the Shire, in need of healing but also excited to see Valinor and meet the legendary elves who live there, a gentle soul
Elrond Halfelven, as kind as a summer, looking forward to peace west of the sea, probably wants to go chill out in a cottage with his wife for the next thousand years
Which seems fine. And then we get to everyone else.
Gandalf, cheeky bastard who's gotten so used to being a weird old wizard in Middle-Earth that's he's forgotten what Maia are supposed to act like, will immediately cause problems
Bilbo Baggins, noted storyteller, definitely planning to break into Aule's halls to see his dwarf friends, will ask all the elves weird questions and then sing about their lives and deaths in front of them, will immediately cause problems
Galadriel, who came to Aman half for Celebrian and Elrond's sake and half to taunt all her cousins about being the only one of them to survive the First Age, enjoys causing problems, will immediately cause many problems
(Also, to be clear, these are not three isolated problem-causers, they absolutely spent the entire trip to Valinor actively planning to give Amanyar society and the Valar an aneurysm.)
I just love the idea of Elrond, now reunited with Celebrian, and Frodo happily having tea with Elwing and Earendil, with nothing to interrupt them but the gentle sounds of the tides.
Meanwhile Galariel, Bilbo, and Gandalf are collectively bullying Mandos into releasing Maglor Feanorian from the halls because:
Bilbo wants to read him his translation of the Noldolante, which is written as a cheery Hobbit drinking song
Elrond always complained about how Gandalf and Maglor were both insufferably vague about advice and Gandalf needs to make sure he's more infuriating than Maglor as a matter of his wizardly pride
He still owes Galadriel money

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

Looking for writer friends to exchange manuscripts, talk about characters, plots, annoyances and even make stuff together if you're into that.
I write fiction, mostly with fantastical, supernatural or si-fi elements, as well as occasional poetry.
Nobody i know like writing, so I am looking to meet knew people and make new friends :)))
My name is Allie, i will be 25 in July, live in London, study English Lit and Language, used to study Biology and Psychology before, so basically a nerd
Love history, science, art, tv, book, frozen pizza, ginger shots and other nerd stuff
Don't use much social media other than tumblr, use my phone grandma style to watch documentaries or ytp on youtube, read fanfics and write stories
Great bonus if you are into RP, it has been like forever
If you live in London we can hang out and if you live far away we can plan visits and send cool stuff with the post
It will be epic!
I am the awesome best friend you have always been looking for, your dreams are waiting !!! 🍄💚
Much love,
Allie

Not me scrolling through old notes to find ancient x-men and other stuff fanfics i used to write with someone who likely hasn't thought about me for 6 or more years and still, after all this time feeling stuff
Did i mention i hate feeling stuff?
It is that infinitely awful feeling when someone breaks your heart in 5000+ pieces but you don't even care cause you also lost your best friend and that is infinitely worse than any failed romance.
Be careful if you start dating your bff, you always say "this will not happen to us", but then it does
And the hole it leaves in your soul does not stop bleeding
For fucks sake, I just need a hug, omg, bitch, it has been years, get a grip!!!
Moral or the story:
Be good to your friends?
Don't be dumb?
Don't reread old notes you know will hurt you?
Don't base parts of your live's work on stories you shared with someone who hurt you, so you are not reminded of them every time you sit down to do your job?
Idk, really
Please send help
#natural stupidity#relationship#pain#so much pain#writers problems#why did you leave me#i know why lol#this still sucks#it might be that Alexander and Jackie always suffer because they were us once and i still write them that way#and i cannot find it in me to make them happy because we are not#it's not everyone but it is everyone#please send help#its not about romance or whatever i just want my buddy back#why am i having a breakdown in my tumblr tags#this is normal#of course#there are two of you#lol#one after the other#same situation#how dumb did i have to be for this shit to have happened twice#do i miss you or what we had?#or do i miss somebody giving a shit about me and my work with no ulterior motives#why am i like this

"objectively physically attractive but in possession of negative rizz" is one of my favorite character concepts. i think it's so great when there's an absurdly hot person who's just a complete fucking loser. the mood is unsalvageable the moment they open their mouth kind of deal. you get no bitches because you're so sucks.

"Leo... are you high?" Jason asked and Leo giggled.
"Nooooo..." He laughed. Jason just looked at him in concern.
"How did you even get drugs?"
"The Stolls... said to say nothin'." He said and Jason sighed, saying it's bed time.
"I don't wanna." He whined but didn't complain when Jason led him to bed.
------
"Why did you do that?" Jason asked in the morning.
"I was feeling like shit. So I took them."
"Leo, you know you can talk to me right?" Leo's face scrunched up and tears fell.
"Hey."
"No one cares."
"I care."
"You're not here." He cried.
"You're not here anymore." No one answered. He curled into a ball and cried. It was just the leftover drugs in his system.

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
And this gem 👇
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard)
Aaron Rutten (free)
BoroCG (free)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates)
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, ect Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Libresprite (free, for pixel art)
Those are the ones I can recall.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
