Just a Mom's reminder to everyone to be gentle with yourselves when it comes to New Year's Resolutions. It's wonderful that you're making goals to better yourself! Self-improvement and achievements make us happy!
But as someone who cares about you--it is far more important that you are happy and healthy. That means minimizing stress, not over-exerting yourself, and absolutely NO getting down on yourself if you fall short of your aims.
It's January 4th and you still have 362 days to check things off your list. (We get an extra day 'cause of Leap Year!) Take it slow and steady and enjoy the process. :)

Legolas x reader
Word count: 1900
Request (that i took way to long to start) for @jaimelamour
- archery practice with Legolas!! cute light-hearted drabble idea:)) reader/legolas getting flustered at the close proximity, fumbling hands, the Pining!!,,,,this idea is so cliche but sooo cute
(Also, I again borrowed a charactor from @sotwk go check out Naneth' s stuff, its truly amazing)
This was not a good idea. This was an awful idea. This was absurd. Who even thought of this?
Ah, yes. Of course.
Honestly sometimes you wish you could pull a Merriadoc and get kidnapped by a tree, just so you could stop making such rediculouse decisions.
A voice calling your name pulls you from your thoughts, leaving a smile to settle at the sight of Sam infront of you. He holds a plate of creamy looking... Something. "Hello Sam, what is it that smells so delightful?"
"Why it's scalloped potatoes Mx. Y/n." He blushes a bit at the compliment, an endearing sight, and one which fills you with a strange feeling of mixed mourning and hope. "I was going to see if you would like some?"
Grining you give him your permission to load up your plate, realizing to late that he is still more accustomed to feeding those with Hobbiton appetite, and you've now got more of the spuds than you could ever manage eat. Still, nothing Samwise has ever cooked could be turned down, and you dig in.
The hardonic taste of garlic, onion, and somthing else that you can't place, bloom on your tounge, sharply reminding you of the lack of prior meal. "Mister Gamgee, you have my heart, soul, sword, and boots. Stake my life on it, this is the most superb meal I've ever had the pleasure to taste!"
Sam shuffles his feet, embarrassed by the kind words. "You can keep your boots please -nasty foot prisons really- tis hardly a meal. I only made enough for appetizers." He nods politly to someone behind you before scurrying off.
You scoop up another fork full the the food, letting out a small moan of appreciation. "Whomever is behind me can take a seat, I dont bite."
A strangely pink faced Legolas sits oposit you, a small smirk as he speaks, "I know for a fact that your words are false, I need not elven eyes to have noticed the sizable chunk you tore from one orc."
"That doesn't count." At his humorously disbelieving facial expression you shrug. "Fine then, I promise I don't usually bite pretty princesses. Better?"
His only response is a small laugh. "May I purloin some of your potatoes?" You nod, and after a short search you find an extra fork, though not another plate.
His eyes light up in delight when he takes a bite and you smile, staring a bit to long for it to be considered entierly friendly, though thankfully he seems not to notice.
"So... Did you come only to steal my food, or did you have an alternate motive?" Legolas blinks, looking at thr plate with a guilty expression that you wave away.
Shaking his head he answers. "I was intending to ask if you wished to start your lesson, but did not wish to interupt your mealtime."
The mental This Is Still A Bad Idea reminder goes off, but the Prince's hopeful expression is more than enough to hit snooze.
"You're not interrupting, truthfully I was jot even planning on eating before Sam brought these to me. He is truly to sweet for his own good." Your eyes are on the plate before you, so you do not see the crease that apears between Legolas' eyes.
"If you are willing, I have found a suitable range at which to practice, as well as a bow that I believe with suit your draw strength."
"What I can't use your's?" You tease, looking up in time to see a strange flicker in your friend's -for this is what he is, no more- eyes. It is gone almost as quickly as it came, and you do not dwell on it.
"I- I would allow you, of course, but the bows of Lothlórien are meamt for a more expirianced-"
You raise and eyebrow, mouth firmly set into a line so as not to laugh. "Are you saying I am week my prince? If that is the case, I beg you simply get to the point." His eyes are (beautiful, how are eyes allowed to be so-) immediately blown wide, as he turns an interesting shade of sunkissed rose gold.
The blush extends all the way to the tips of his ears, and you have the strangest urge to trace the path of pink with your fingertips. Instead you interupt his sooft panicking, "I was joking, Legolas, I understand that you know much more about your weapon than I can ever hope to, and I trust you completely."
Legolas nods and a small smile appears. "I hold your trust as my most valued prize from this terrible war, I know it is hard won."
His gaze holds yours steadily, so you shoce a bite of potato in your mouth before you do something stupid, like kissing the Prince of Greenwood.
Not long after, you stand at the entrance to a long rectangular courtyard. This is going to be fun, you tell yourself. You're going to learn things, and shoot a bow, amd stop waching Legolas so closely.
Knowing full well that at least half of your thoughts were empty of any hope, you step in to meet the resident blond elf. And for the love of the green lady, does he have to be so perfect? The light of the afternoon sun glints off of his hair, making it look as if it glows, while accepting his figure at the same time. He holds a bow that is smaller than his usual choice, runing his hand along the wood, appraising.
He gestures for you to come closer, which you do of course. You would go spelunking in the ruin of Isengaurd is he asked you to.
"That's where we'll start, if that is okay?"
For a terrifying second, you fear that you've spoken alloud, and this only slightly fades whem you realize that he's been speaking for a time already.
Mentaly shaking yourself, you nod, pleading with your inner monolouge to be quiet and let you focouse. Shockingly, it does not comply.
Legolas shows you the beginner stance, which feels slightly odd after your sword training, but you catch on pretty quickly. The proximity of Legolas to yourself is nonexistent, and there are more than one instances which almost convince you that he is deliberately trying to fluster you.
When he shows you the apropriate hold on the bow, his hands ghost over your own, positioning them to perfection, and nearly causing you to drop the weapon. He steps back after telling you to draw the bow, but cautioning against sharply relising the string, as there is no arrow and it would split the wood.
Legolas nods, satisfied when you slowly relieve pressure from the string. He pauses a moment, seeming unsure, so you tilt you head in silent question. Eyes trailing over your arms, which are bared against the day's bright heat.
"You do not have you vambraces?" The question is more of an acknowledgment, but you incline your head in response regardless. In a second I unties the leather string holding his own in place, loosening then just enough to slide from his forearms.
Avert you eyes spawn of chicken, your brain reminds you.
After pulling both of the simple deep brown articles off he looks at you, raised eyebrow, and gestures for your arm. You hold the bow in one hand, and with nowhere to put it, you extend the other for Legolas.
The leather is warm still from his skin as it slides against your skin, and to prevent a shudder, you say; "You dont have to give me these you know, I'd be fine."
Legolas smiles, softly as always. "Fine perhaps, but few deserve pain, least of all perfection, and if I am in a position to keep you from it I will." The ernesty in his voice suprised you, and you feel a red cross your face, not caused by the heat.
"What do these markings mean?" Legolas' hands still for a breath, freezing from the tightening of laces. Quickly you stumble back from your words. "I do not wish to pry, please forgive-"
"No!" He shakes his head, and the tears in his eyes send a flash of guilt through you. "Please do not apologize. Some of them are mearly ornamentalb but this one," he is tracing an indent. "Is the mark of my... Teacher." Drawing a breath he whispers a name. "Gelir"
You let the silence stretch out, before; "I'm sorry for your loss, was he your..."
Legolas looks up with alarm, and surprisingly, a laugh. "No, Gelir was my brother, and the finest hand with a bow or beast to ever walk the natural earth."
On impulse, you reach out, placing a hand on his cheek. "I feel quite treble now, and not a little embarrassed. Is there anything I can do?"
His smile has returned, and you are glad for it. "I will tell you if I think of anything."
Pulling the second knot tight, Legolas releases your arm, something you are both relived for, and dissapointed. "Now I get to shoot right?" When he nods you take up your position.
Arrow fitted to the string you exhale as you release, frowning when it misses the target entirely. Suddenly there is a presance at your back, shifting your feet slightly, and repositioning your arms.
Legolas remains against you, hands on yours as you draw back again, this time hitting near center.
You turn excitedly to him, foot twisting in the process on an unforseen length of rope that lies half buried in the ground. Legolas catches you before you can fall, and for a brief moment you think he is about to kiss you. But he helps you back to your feet, smirking all the while.
"Of course I fall. This must be a murder attempt." You grump, pleased when he laughs quietly.
"What's this?" You glance to the ground noticing a glint of dark green. You bend down to retrieve it, only to feel you head make contact with another.
Legolas let's out a hissing noise, and the stone is gone from your thoughts. "Legolas?"
"I am fine, though it seems you have caught me."
And you have, as his hair is tangled around the pin on your shoulder. You look to his face, "Only after I fell for you."
His eyes widen, though he makes no sighn of discomfort. "Here is your stone"
You shake your head quickly. "I should like you to keep it, if you will."
Legolas tilts his head to the side. "My best friend married a dwarf, I know what this is."
You tilt your chin defiantly. "Good."
His face is still blank as you reath sharply. "I think I know what you can do for me."
Meet inches away from him you ask, "And what would that be my prince?"
Without a word he closes the gap, kissing you with far more zeel than you could have expected. The hand you'd earlier placed on his cheek now finds it's way to his neck, holding him close when you lips disconnect.
Forhead rested against his, you close his still open hand around the leaf shaped emerald. "I'm afraid you're stuck with me now."
"Well yes," he agrees. "My hair is still caught on your broach."

Today maybe the last time I use Tumblr. I'll take a rest for a full one month because I will do the fasting day for one month and I'll wake up at 3 in the morning and went work at 8 in the morning.
So HELL!!! I'll be more tired than usual.But maybe I'll access this site when I'm on my period because I'm not fasting at that time...
I'll miss everyone in here....
The duo moodbooster @starlady66 @lazymeriadoc my daughter @legoriel-fan and my naneth beloved author @sotwk
Soo... See you in one month guys 👋

hello! I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to reach out to you to express my gratitude for being you. In my eyes, you truly are a Naneth in the LOTR fandom and it means so much. Fandoms are places where people some to relax and heal as well as enjoy the creation of stories and characters. I find that most of us have felt lost or hurt in some aspect of our lives. And honestly, I feel as if we occasionally need a mom that won’t judge us and would support us. I don’t know you as well as I would like, but I do see you as that person in this fandom. You feel safe to me. I appreciate you creating the space for people to feel cared for and comforted.
With much love,
An anon who values you 🩷
Darling Anon,
This could possibly be the sweetest and most gratifying message I have received in the entire 15 months of my Tumblr existence. <3 Bless your heart for taking the time to tell me these things!
Everything you said helps justify the amount of time I spend online, writing fanfic, and just hanging out here. I am at a life stage where adult responsibilities (my career, my husband and kids) need to take priority. I am 38 now, but I have been writing fanfic (on paper!) since I was about 10, and engaging in online fandom communities since I was 16 (with dial-up internet!). Online fandom spaces were a refuge for me during the most challenging periods of my life.
Even though my life is pretty great now (though not without its pains and heartaches!), I can never outgrow or leave the things that give me the most comfort: creative writing, my favorite fandoms, and online friends. These have always been very therapeutic for me, so I believe they've grown vital to my mental well-being!
The "Naneth"/"Nana"/Online Mom title was started by my dear friend Callon @friendofthefellowshipsnerdblog when she remarked that I reminded her of her mom, and our other friends from SHHEEP just kind of picked up the nickname as well. As a real mom, I wish everyone could have a loving relationship with their own mothers (I truly believe all moms have genuine, fierce love for their children in their hearts--but moms are fragile humans just like everyone else, life is rough, and things can go very wrong sometimes). But whenever that is not possible, I am more than happy to act as a stand-in to whoever wants that support.
I do strive to make my blog a safe space for everyone (so it would only ever block "bad vibes"), because we have all suffered enough, and there is enough stress and fighting out there everywhere else. HERE, we just come to have fun and be silly and share and exchange things that give us joy and offer each other comfort. We all just want to be carefree kids again who can make friends with anybody in an instant--that's what we all have in common and that's all that matters in the end.
Thank you again for your kind message, Anon! I appreciate YOU so very much and I hope you have a wonderful start to your new year! <3

I really need to know how to say no to people but I just can't do it. And I know they're being forward and taking advantage of me but still I suffer the inconvenience rather than saying no sorry I can't
This evening a woman that I barely know told me I was doing this thing for her. She just said your doing this, she didn't even ask. And this is going to inconvenience me for three days!
This is the first chance I've got off work in a while and I had planned out some things I needed to get done and had already made an obligation to something else which I will now have to cancel
(Not to mention the fact that I barely and I mean barely know this lady, I met her a few weeks ago she just came up to me and started talking to me, the only thing I know about her is her first name)
Dear Anon,
It has taken me too long to get to this ask; I'm very sorry for overlooking it in my box! I don't know if you follow me or when you'll see this response, but I hope it helped you a little just to vent your frustrations. I also hope your interactions (or avoidance, hopefully?) of this Bossy Lady has gone well since you sent this ask (in October, yikes--bad Sotwk!)
I'm really bad at saying "No" to people too--especially to strangers or people I don't know well. That's just how it is! My husband would surely chime in and point out that I seem to have no problem saying "No" to him, but--sorry honey--that's because the people who know and love you best are "safe" and would understand. They would love you regardless of how many times you deny them.
When strangers ask us for stuff, our anxiety and/or social fears kick in and we feel we MUST agree or risk being judged/ostracized. I think all of us non-confrontational people-pleasers struggle with this. Then the aggressive personalities take advantage of us.
Anyway, I'm not sure you asked for or needed advice on this, but the best I've got is that saying "No" takes practice! Once you've formulated the proper, polite, autopilot response to it (it can and should be as short as "No, I can't do that--sorry."), you can start using it whenever you feel brave enough to. I think it gets easier with constant use, and you realize that nothing disastrous happens when you set boundaries. Worst outcome is, you get rid of those pushy people in your life and that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it?
I wish you well and I hope you're having a great start to the New Year! <3
(I love Ron Swanson (from Parks and Recreation) so much. He's the Master at not giving a *toot* about what others think.)

💌 send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome. 💌
hi Naneth! ik I've been pretty quiet lately (mental hospital threw me off pretty bad) but im back to be as obsesive as ever!
Your latest HCs have been AMAZING my god the LORE- I'm loving it >:D
@laneynoir Laney-girl, is this you? :) I've missed you! I hope you're doing much better now, and I'm so sorry you went through that rough patch. I always want you to do everything you can to take care of yourself, but I'm glad you're back and that you've reached out to at least let your anxiety-prone Nana know how you are. :)
I've been doing my best to keep the Thranduil/Thranduilion HCs coming! But fanfics are a lot slower to come out the gate, I'm afraid. XD I'm glad you've enjoyed what I've written recently; remember I'm always around and open for anything YOU might want to request!
Take care of yourself! Love you!

SOTWK!! I NEED A NICKNAME FOR YOU I CANT SURVIVE LIKE THIS!!
My dear @quickslvxr, you are ALWAYS free to call me Nana or Naneth like the rest of the cool kids *IF* you want to. Otherwise, I'm fine with any nickname you want to come up with!
A few suggestions off the top of my head:
Mrs. Eadig (*ahem* I shall take no arguments here)
Madam Mirkwood (cause let's face it, I be pimping those Mirkwood elves out, including their King)
Yenta (except I'm not Jewish)
Bubbie ('cause I feel that old sometimes)
But seriously... anything you want! XD

happy birthday to the naneth of us all!! it’s currently raining where i am but i wish you nothing but clear skies and sunny days 🎉💕
I was just thinking today how it's kind of nuts how tornados and hurricanes are happening elsewhere while the West Coast is being baked into a crisp this week. 😅🥵 but your wish for me came true, skies were very clear and bright today! 🥳 I take those over cold and dark/dreary, personally. Just better for the mood!
Thank you as always for your sweet thoughtfulness! I am proud you adopted me as your Naneth! ❤️🫂 (and that gif... child, you know my weakness too well now...heehee.)

Happy Mothers Day nana!!!!!! 😘😘🤗🤗
Thank you so much, dear Callon! <3 I am happy to report that I had a lovely Mothers Day, with much credit to my sweet husband. The funny thing is, people like to greet moms on Mothers Day by saying, "Oh, I hope you have a restful, relaxing day!". However, that is a pipe dream for moms of little kids who are still attached to Mommy and need her for every other thing. My time for a "relaxing" Mothers Day is probably not until 10 years into the future still. Haha! In the meantime, I'm happy to have my boys still need me and want me around, exhausting as it can be.
Thank you for being such a wonderful "internet daughter". :)

Happy Mother’s Day dear Naneth!!
Thank you my darling Riki! <3 I know a lot of people struggle with this holiday, and for very valid reasons. I am grateful for friends like you who have taken the time to give me a little shoutout. As amazing as motherhood is, it is also the most difficult job I ever will have, so every bit of thoughtful kudos feels wonderful!
I am blessed to have you as a Mutual! <3

A person can be told "I love you" literally every single day of their life, and still live their whole life feeling wretchedly unloved.

💌 Send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome 💌
Thank you my darling Jordie! I'm sorry about your recent love life problems. As someone who had to endure a LOT of that before I landed "The One" (when I was almost twice your current age!), I can tell you that:
The pain really, really sucks.
But that's normal.
It will feel like it will never go away.
But it does. I PROMISE. It might take a while, but it will be a distant memory soon enough.
You will feel the joy of being in love again. I PROMISE.
You are BEAUTIFUL and WONDERFUL, no matter what.
If he didn't see that enough to cherish you as you deserve, then it's better that he's gone.
There WILL be someone who treats you well enough to deserve you.
And finally (not to sound Boomer-ish)... you are still SO YOUNG. So, so, so very young. There is plenty of time to grow and explore and meet more people and learn about relationships. <3
In the meantime, plenty of ice cream and comfort films and all the crying you want! Wallowing is part of the healing.

*hugs you hugs you hugs you*
I'm sorry your not feeling well Nanath :( love you!
Thank you for the love, "Anon"! <3 I am actually feeling mostly recovered from my own illness, but there have just been back-to-back Mommy challenges this weekend that have left me feeling exhausted and drained. I LOVE being a Mom, but the struggles get very real, especially when having to take care of kids makes it hard to squeeze in proper self-care.
But that's what Naneths do! We carry on with full hearts and tired bodies. ;) Love you @laneynoir!
