Ahh I love this, thank you so much for tagging me!! 💞🫂❣️ and I totally feel you on trying to keep it together *hugs* you’ve got this!! Here’s my answers:

Fav color: I usually answer this question with “ocean colors”; I love blues, but also the greys and silvers and tints of green and the light and shadow and depth and wistfulness of glittering waves 🌊 and all the different blues and greys of the sky above it too!

Watching: almost done with Narcos, hopefully seeing Project Hail Mary again (<333), and catching up on some recent Amimisu videos I’ve missed 📽️

Reading: rereading The Silmarillion; reading The Book of Charlatans and (hoping to get back to) some delightful fanfics ♡📚 and audiobooking a nonfiction read about T. E. Lawrence from my library too!

Last google: Sugar by Sleep Token (!!? oh my god what a song) 🎶

Currently working on: a pair of knitted grey wool socks, prepping some lacemaking supplies (ahh I am so excited!!), ongoing duolingo lessons, sewing a Star Wars skirt, and hopefully soon getting back to some fic writing ♡🧵

Tea or coffee: tea babeyyy 🫖🍵🧋☕️ (I will occasionally drink decaf coffee too, and do like it a lot! but tea is my go-to and my favorite ♡)

Current phone wallpaper: my lock screen is Kira Nerys and Jadzia Dax looking at each other very sapphically, and my wallpaper is my otp from my all-time favorite kdrama, Yeon Seon x Jung Ji-un 🥹💞🌸

Thanks for the tag! I love your answers!!! I'll add lil' comments while answering ^^

Fave colour: Like you I don't like to fix the color. I call my range berry colours: all those purple-red variations, sometimes going for an actual red or blueish purple. Though the one colour I go for the most is the juice of a blackberry. Just perfect 😍

Watching: I just started Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and it's very fun with loads of pop music numbers. Before I did a rewatch of Agent Carter and for a comic book show it has great female characters (though it lacks diversity in other aspects - fuck is that show white; you can see them trying to bring in some in the second season but it barely makes a difference). Still they should have gotten that third season.

Reading: A few fics in the last days. I'm technically reading two books, one about ADHD and also re-reading Polysecure. That one I am taking slow to actually absorb the information and use it to reflect and understand my own attachments styles and how I show up in relationships.

Last duckduckgo: "tumblr more text colors" lol. I tried to see how much effort it would be to highlight the berry colors in a red-purple instead of a default tumblr color.

Tea or coffee: preferably ice tea!

Current phone wallpaper: okay, absolute top choice for Kira and Jadzia looking at each other saphically! My background choices are usually not that interesting. For my phone I'm using one that came with my prev prev phone of soap bubbles.

I really really love in game music events but the guild wars 2 metal legion concert just blows the competition out of the water for me. the fact that it's integrated into the storyline for the area with the songs being in universe propaganda is fascinating and the event itself is like hands down the best and most fun way to do an event like that I've ever experienced. you spend the whole time trying to keep the show going which means constant chaotic mini events where you do things like jump in a moshpit or stand in for backup dancers or fix the exploding equipment while all the while beating back fans swarming the performers whose parts of the song will disappear if they get knocked out. it ends with you having to destroy a giant burning metal effigy of a dragon that will sometimes just pick you up into the air and chuck you into the crowd who are all giant cat people. everyone on earth download the video game guild wars 2.

HIGH KING ARAFINWË

A commission I’ve been working on for some weeks now (as you can probably tell by the amount of detailing in this), featuring High King of the Noldor and the complete opposite of a busybody, Finarfin.

I was allowed entire creative direction here, which I of course took as an opportunity to shill my primary Finarfin headcanon, which is that he looks incredibly young. Like straight up twenty-year-old boy-king level young, even though he’s actually whatever thousand years old. To the point Celebrían, who has grown up and lived entirely around Beleriand veterans and survivors, is just like ‘???’ when she takes her first look at him after sailing. When asked why on earth her grandpa looks younger than her son and whether he blended up Silmaril-debris for his facemasks, Finarfin explains that it has nothing to do with Treelight and that the greatest skincare routine in Arda is known as ‘staying out of shit’.

I used this amazing pattern by the fantastic @peasant-player for his clothing today, overlayed over hand drawn gold embroidery because you can ignore ‘never wear gold with silver’ if you’re the High King — thank you very much and I am greatly appreciative, it worked exactly like I was hoping!

I'm legit so proud of this. and also utterly in love with the idea of mae helping Fingon put on his jewelery. You guys feel? The tender intimacy of helping someone dress? The added layer of these two being noldo, and the cultural importance of gemstones and jewelery? The time and effort it took maedhros to gain the fine motor skills to do it left handed?
