“Lie close,” Laura said,
Pricking up her golden head:
“We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?”A wolf goes for a walk in the woods and meets a dog for the first time

If only Fingolfin were born first.
#silmarillion#‘murdered by younger brother/daddy’s favorite age 261’#…i would read every word of that au mostly for fingolfin’s polite nonaggression act @ feanor becoming suddenly that much more#conspicuous after he latches onto baby finarfin like a companionship-starved limpet#also tbh: momswap where feanor is precociously violent in defense of indis’s claim#miriel is a DEAD WOMAN WHAT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT#fingolfin sitting under a giant leaf in lorien: he has a point mother! what do you think#miriel’s animate corpse: mouthbreathes via @gurguliare
“You always were my favourite nephew,” Fingolfin said, once they knew Fingon would live.
It was patently untrue and had Galadriel hissing like a kettle come to boil and Curufin pursing his lips against a smile. Maedhros, fresh from rinsing clots of his cousin’s blood out of his hair, thanked him gravely and moved the subject on, to the matter of kingdoms and supplies.
“Fool,” Curufin snapped afterwards. “We can use this. The crown-”
“Is something we are well rid of.” Our priority is the Oath, he would have added, not long ago. “Fingon will not take well to being maimed,” he said instead. “If you’re so concerned with winning hearts, see what you can do for him.”
“It was not so bad as all that,” Fingon insisted, when he was well enough to insist upon anything. “Merely dull.”
“Boredom was the worst torture they could imagine for you, no doubt,” Maedhros said and held him through the nightmares without comment. It was, perhaps, the worst torture he could imagine for himself but that was a maudlin, self-indulgent thing to think.
“The ballad that I shall make of this!” Maglor cried. All his resentment over being left to rule as regent had vanished in the face of such a song. “A light of hope, blazing against the dark! A triumph of love and loyalty over wicked cruelty!”
Maedhros remembered well the eagle’s words and remembered too that Morgoth’s followers were loyal. He let Maglor have his song though, for they were in desperate need of hope and because it would likely annoy Fingon a great deal.
“I cannot believe you let them make a song of it,” said Fingon, greatly annoyed. “Fingon the Valiant they called me and yet in this great accounting of Noldorin deeds I am a useless, swooning lump. First my hand and now my epithet. What will you steal from me next?”
“Keep the Valiant,” Maedhros said soberly. “But add that stuffed horse I never returned to the tally of my crimes.”
“Do not think I have forgotten. Cloppy will be avenged once I can wield a sword again.” That Fingon could and would learn to fight with his left had not been in doubt since the moment he first woke.
There were apologies to be made. For the ice and the docks and for not being handier with a file. But when Maedhros opened his mouth and saw the look on Fingon’s fair, scarred face, he knew they would not be welcome. He kissed Fingon instead, and that was accepted with unprincely enthusiasm.
Love was not sufficient reason for so many things. But for some it was.
But there are, I fear, no hobbits in The Silmarillion (or history of the Three Jewels), little fun or earthiness but mostly grief and disaster. Those critics who scoffed at The Lord [of the Rings] because ‘all the good boys came home safe and everyone was happy ever after’ (quite untrue) ought to be satisfied.

Elves and Eating
So, we know elves fear (souls basically) and hroa (body) are linked. Ex, if the elf is upset as hell their body just…degrades. That part is canon.
So, I think it would make sense that a sad, their body would require more sleeping, food, etc to sustain itself.
This takes stress-eating and breakup-icecream to the max. We know elves typically aren’t the biggest eaters in the world. But if an elf was very upset, they would just eat and eat and eat, sleep all the time, etc. Which leads to a few things.
1. To a smaller degree, emotion snacking is basically mandatory. “Fuck, I just failed a test. Aaaand I could go for like five hamburgers right now.”
2. This could also go for larger things. Just like human’s depression-nap system, a sad elf will just. Sleep. For weeks.
3. Perhaps it’s an elvish custom to hold huge feasts after times of sadness. Beloved town member just died? Thier funeral will have a shitload of food. Everyone will need it. Post-battle? Better start a huge potluck, shit, these elves need a lot to eat to keep up their souls now.
4. FOOD GIFT BASKETS ARE A MUST. Flowers? No one needs them. The real thing to do to cheer up your elf friend is send them several crates of protein bars.
5. Maedhros probably ate an absurdly huge amount, all the time. Even on top of how much he would eat being so tall. Invite this guy over for a buisness dinner? Better have an extra four portions for him.
6. “Elrond dude there’s like hundreds of chip bags scattered in your office” “I KNOW but i am WORRIED”
-“Perhaps it’s an elvish custom to hold huge feasts after times of sadness. “
Well, that would explain why Thranduil holds so many feasts in Mirkwood
oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh shittttt
so i combined derse and prospit together with painttoolsai using the luminosity feature and…………
look at it…….
that’s so…. pretty… omg let’s all dream here pls
I’ve lived here all my life.
And then everyone lived on Derspit, the end.
soft grunge
headcanon time!: derspit is what happens when one person tries to play Sburb/etc by his or her self. Either through two computers running the program at the same time or through bizarre cheating methods.
It’s an attempt by the game to create both moons despite there being only one bed, forcing the player to go through weird glitchy mixtures of events from both areas.
The Derspitiatites (dersite+prospitian= Ders-pit-ti-a-tites) are at war with themselves and are extremely glitchy and volatile, expressing both Heroic and Just traits. They both wish for the game to be continued and for the game to be lost, and are neither helpful nor harmful towards the player. They are so volatile that they become neutral by default.
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to win the game, due to the black and white king being the same character. The reckoning, along with all other moon-based events, must be started by the PLAYER in order for them to get farther into the game.
heres a Derspitiatite arch/antiagent (cheap jack edit) to make reading all that worth your while a bit
“…are at war with themselves and are extremely glitchy and volatile”
so baSICALLY THE TRICKSTERS
CAN THIS
BE A THING
CAN THIS BE WHERE THE TRICKSTERS DREAM OMFG
OH MAN EVEN THE COLOUR SCHEME WORKS FOR TRICKSTERS
HEADCANON ACCEPTED OH MY GOD
I love this
this is just a general notice that if you haven’t read the the msscribe story or the cassandra clare plagiarism debacle on bad_penny, you are really missing out on the depths of the TRULY ridiculous in fandom history.
The msscribe story has to be the most awesomely entertaining wank report in the history of fandom EVER. Like, I stopped reading wank reports after that because nothing will ever live up to that.
I C O N I C
At the grocery store
Woman: *on cellphone* Why am I leaving you? Why am I–I’ll tell you why.
Woman: Here’s why. You don’t respect me.
Woman: You called me a whore in front of my children.
Me: *says nothing, but has a face like O.O*
Woman: You don’t respect me. And you know, there some white chick here in the store, she walking, she heard me say that and she make a face.
Woman: Because even she know you a piece of shit.
Ya MCM said ew when you told him you were on your period.
He’s 27.That shit is forever nasty lol
How
Bruh like what are you supposed to do with it? Play in it? Come on now
Ya MCM thinks periods are nasty because he can’t play in it.
He was born in 1986.periods arent nasty but woman arent supposed to have them its actually poor diet that causes them look it up just a fun fact
Ya MCM thinks periods are a result of a poor diet.
He’s over 18.This nigga thinks periods are like optional. And was confident enough to try to tell a woman with a vagina that that was a fact. The internet is wild bruh.
W i l d. and he deadass.
…………
I’m so glad I had comprehensive health classes in school. I couldn’t imagine being that dense
Actually, he’s not wrong. For Black women, a period is called such because it should LITERALLY appear to be a drop of blood, hence a PERIOD. Heavy blood flow is caused from hemorrhaging in the system, which isn’t natural. That’s why it hurts, as I would imagine. It really does involve diet.
Ya MCM thinks black women menstruate in a different way than other women.
I am literally going to end my life. It’s called a period as in period of time. A period of time I wish your mothers had not missed
i am genuinely having an out of body experience
Sometimes I see this post and think to myself it can’t be real, but yes there are thousands and thousands of people in the world who genuinely believe woman shouldn’t get periods it’s our “diet” this is a thing.
Just want to remind everyone that homeboy up there believes that because another man told him so, thus it must be true.
it’s actually called a menstrual cycle so the period = drop of blood is a REACH my guy
How are some men so fucking stupid
tangential, but period related fun fact: if you are on the pill, your period CAN be optional, because you can skip the placebos and just take the real pills all the time. i am told there’s no downside to this.
I learned from tv that periods are supposed to be blue. Any other color, someone forgot to say their prayers i guess
i feel like people have forgotten what “NSFW” actually stands for after all these years
it stands for “not safe for work,” as in “material that could get you fired if your boss sees you looking at it at your place of employment”
tagging things as “nsfw” is not something to be politicized, it is a courtesy to your fellow humans so that they do not get fired or socially ostracized for someone’s whole dick being out on their computer
just moving along like everyone else
