~LONG~ POST

this has been so long coming but here is my aralas fic recs masterlist bc i love them so much and there’s too little good aralas fanfiction on ao3

hawthorn by aeolianharps https://archiveofourown.org/works/39137910/chapters/97913703

my favourite fic of all time. 50K, from pre-fellowship first-meeting in mirkwood to post-rotk angst. the most heart-curdlingly beautiful thing i have ever read. will make you sob but also be so glad to be alive

of men by aeolianharps https://archiveofourown.org/works/21775381/chapters/51957199

can you tell i love aeolianharps?? i do. 25K, from fellowship to post-rotk angst but with a happy ending. so hauntingly beautiful oh god.

a ghost story by samarqand https://archiveofourown.org/works/24366931

almost 10K oneshot that goes from pre-fellowship to post-rotk. the most harrowingly forestial sort of love story god i love it so much

the language of the birds by samarqand https://archiveofourown.org/works/25388575/chapters/61564924

exactly 20K from pre-fellowship mirkwood to mid-rotk one of my fav fics of all time, just the most gorgeous portrayal of love and longing and yes.

how the heart approaches what it yearns (series) by sakurashakedown https://archiveofourown.org/series/2827483

38K overall and ongoing, the first fic is 7K, the second 3K and the third 27K, the most wonderful pre-fellowship questing with aragorn portrayal of neurodivergent legolas and just fluff fluff to heal your soul

Now to rapid fire from one of my fav fic writers ever, Nanethoiithil: Rivers of Starlight https://archiveofourown.org/works/41660493 More Lovely and More Temperate https://archiveofourown.org/works/39477444

Whispers in the Dark https://archiveofourown.org/works/39273417/chapters/98273073

A Brief Respite https://archiveofourown.org/works/38184877

Beware of the Sea https://archiveofourown.org/works/37798204/chapters/94374856

Earth https://archiveofourown.org/works/37143091

All by Nanethoiithil, all <15K wonderful established relationship aralas, mid-fellowship questing with the most wonderful fluff and fellowship dynamics and hurt/comfort, except for Beware of the Sea which is post-rotk wrong person wrong time. all so lovely it takes my breath away

In Fading Light by milgarion https://archiveofourown.org/works/822388/chapters/1558852

been a hot second since i’ve read but a full-on 63K developing relationship aralas, great if you’re in the mood for something more ~classic~ with more traditional angst. absolutely fell in love with this and it’ll always have a place in my heart

those are the fics that left a wordless void in my soul once i finished them, that have had such an impact on my life it feels as though they never leave my mind, now here are a few that are less so, definitely i don’t think about them every waking hour of every day, but are still really really good:

elf ears are just ears by yerimheart https://archiveofourown.org/works/43091700 (1500 words first kiss adorableness)

the moon will sing a song for me (i loved you like the sun) by eirvosol https://archiveofourown.org/works/42569739 (1300 words declarations of love, established-relationship, a lil cliché but it’s ok)

Dead on Your Feet by LuvAtFirstRead https://archiveofourown.org/works/42147552 (6K injury/recovery trope, established relationship, also lil cliché but it’s good)

This Realm of Ours by Living_City https://archiveofourown.org/works/41136546 (1700 word established relationship injury/recovery fluff so well written agh)

in dreams i can hear your name by osamugiris https://archiveofourown.org/works/40875900 (4K classic immortal dying bc mortal doesn’t love him back fluff, SO well done)

aaaaaaand of course everything by one of my favs again: himboredfield

burdens of war and love’s embrace https://archiveofourown.org/works/31518371

i had been lost to you, sunlight https://archiveofourown.org/works/25743196

give me how it was, our place under the sun https://archiveofourown.org/works/24639829/chapters/59532244

all by himboredfield, (1400 words, 4K and 20K respectively) all are pre or mid-fellowship super fluffy aralas love confessions, with an AMAZING grasp on archaic language, so tolkien-esque and lovely.

aaaaaand to finish off with some shameless self advo, here’s my fic: at the impasse of the age, we lie in oblivion by u_wear_fine_things_well (me :D) https://archiveofourown.org/works/42924453/chapters/107839779

my 75K word magnum opus, angsty yet bantery lotr rewrite except gayer and sadder and, yk, aralas-er with a bittersweet ending

this post is for everyone who had to wade thru hundreds of not super well written fics just to find some good gd fluffshots of our fav twink archer and his punk, perpetually tired bf!! there are good ones out there (and ones that will rip your whole entire heart out of your chest like the first 4) i promise

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

[shymagnolia]

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

[flagellant]

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

[coffee-or-hot-cocoa]

i need all the help i can get for finals

[finnglas]

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

[azaraspirit]

what the hell? i could use some luck *hits reblog*

[saturncix-deactivated20250309]

i mean. i could use all the luck i can get for my exams.

hello everyone! if you live in the united states, we have until the 25th of may to protest the biden administration’s arms deal with isr4el by contacting our senators (call, email, etc.)! it’s as easy as looking up your senators (local district office > dc office) and letting your voice be heard. it’s your right as a constituent to hold them responsible and something as simple as sending an email or leaving a voicemail could potentially save lives and play a part in fighting against the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. if that’s not enough, may 25 is my birthday, so consider it a 20th birthday present :)

apparently ppl don’t know about waifu2x??? despite its… concerning name it’s literally the most convenient website i’ve ever come across as an artist

it allows you to resize artwork without it becoming pixellated. this is a MASSIVE help if you, for example, make lineart too small or something. it works best with things that 1. have no textures 2. have smooth lines 3. have cel shading, but it still works really damn well for things that don’t fit that profile

here’s an example:

normal size

2x in paint

2x in waifu2x

so like, there’s that. go wild

[jake-clark]

Original:

Photoshop scaled:

Waifu2x scaled:

It’s legit!! Tell your friends!

[information-hunter-sky]

waifu2x-multi is the newer version. It allows for rescaling multiple pictures at a time and to scale them up to 10x the original size.

These are not only legitimate, but 179 of them were made by the real, actual Jim Henson Studios.

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

[teaboot]

“These artifacts were excavated by archaeologists from a burial site in the 1970’s. The remains were returned for reinterment” Okay cool, cool cool. So you just, like. Dug up the grave of a respected family member, stripped them naked, mailed their body back to their family and kept everything they were lovingly put to rest in. Like a graverobbing bastard

[toothmuncher3000]

Reminds me of the time when of the elders from my hometown started touching a totem pole in the Museum of Anthropology out at UBC and got yelled at by the staff, only to tell him that the pole had been stolen off of the front of her bighouse when she was ten years old.

Museum collectors did the equivalent of kidnapping a family member when they were away fishing.

[totallynotagentphilcoulson]

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires all institutions that receive federal funding to repatriate remains and artifacts so if you can identify the source of something on display absolutely get a hold of that institute’s repatriation office

Cary grant and Randolph Scott lived together for 11 years in their mansion entitled the bachelor pad there are press pictures of the two of them living in a completely wonderfully domestic setting

When Cary grant has to marry as to stop the rumours of their gayness he became very depressed, him and his wife divorced 13 months later

[cheese-greater-official]

Putting more pictures here because yes

[ladyoftheharbour]

Also they reason said wife divorced Cary is bc Randolph “refused to leave” their home and Cary wouldn’t kick him out.

I’d seen some of these pub stills before but not all of them, imagine middle America looking at this and thinking they were just bachelors sharing a house holy fuck

[eco-socialism]

[angiethewitch]

hey a local town actually did this!

they planted berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, herbs, all sorts. they label each plant and the sign said "free to take, leave some for others to enjoy!"

and people did. they took a bit, but left some for others.

it also fed the homeless people living around there.

bearing in mind this is a tourist town, so i half expected to see the plants gone. but nope, there's always some left.

people aren't naturally selfish, and they will share. the initiative works

[explorerrowan]

And honestly? Most people who don't need it won't bother to stop and pick fruit. It's only people who actually need it who will devote the time. People with money still have grocery stores.

[Image description: tweet by Black Botanist @CreativeTiana: transcript follows]

I was talking to someone about planting food and fruit trees in public spaces and they were like “Why so everyone can steal the food?”

And I was like “See, that’s the problem right there. Why should taking food off a public tree be stealing?”

christmas eve what about christmas adam

[qoti]

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

[forfuturereferenceonly]

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

[achillesvevo-deactivated2020090]

Someone isn’t having a good christmas adam

[theguilteaparty]

Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying.

[shojo]

Happy Christmas Adam everyone
