it was supposed to be Mairon; I've recently started liking the idea of him with white eyes

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

The Fourth Kinslaying is actually so funny, and by funny, I mean horrifying, because imagine you're some Vanya chucklefuck who decided he was going to enlist in the Valar's legions because, idk, it'll look good on your CV later, and like. against all odds you win. you win an unwinnable war, you defeat the mightiest of the Valar. maybe you even see Morgoth's feet get hewn from under him with your own eyes. and that afterparty? oh, it must've been wild. it must've gone on for weeks, and maybe your friend's a little hungover, and they ask you to cover their shift, and you're a good sport and maybe you're still a bit tipsy you won't lie, so you agree. guard duty's pretty easy anyway, you just have to stand there. you can even lean on your spear, squeeze in a little nap, 'cause surely nobody would ever be dumb enough to attack Eonwe's war camp, right? except look out mama! a crazy Maedhros Feanorian behind you!

taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.

and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.

I haven't drawn it in a long time :,)

[trying-trying2lyk]

i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny

[annelidarchive]

the legend of the five rings core rulebook is written by two guys. one of them has done a decent amount of research into feudal japanese society and has an enthusiastic historical interest in the topic, while the other derives intense sexual gratification from talking about "thousand-folded steel". at all times they are fighting to the death and you can tell who's winning on a paragraph by paragraph basis

[jaybegirl]

Can I offer you all a Jayvik Spirited Away AU in this trying time?

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world
