About this Blog

Hey y'all I am Rebecca, your resident Aldhelm girlie; my main is @lord-aldhelm. LadyAldhelm is my sideblog that I started over a year ago to reblog anything that is not The Last Kingdom related. I also sometimes make gifs of random things and post them on here; you can see them all here: LadyAldhelm Gifs.

This is a multifandom, multiuse blog, and I reblog anything that looks interesting, including art, gifs, fandom stuff, resources, and other things.

I also have a Making Gifs with Photopea guide, which is very useful since one really doesn't exist. I use MKV and Photopea to make my gifsets.

I track #useraldhelm, and will reblog almost anything from any fandom using that tag, so feel free to tag me in your creations! All The Last Kingdom stuff will be reblogged to my main, and everything else to this blog.

Some of my favorite movies/series include: The Last Kingdom, Lord of the Rings, The Dark Crystal, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, How To Train Your Dragon (2010), Wolf's Rain, Escaflowne, The Matrix (1999), and The Lion King (1994).

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

My very first face study painting on Procreate, back in March of 2023.

This was after finishing Marco Bucci's Color Survival Guide, which unlocked my color sense!

Still haven't recaptured the spontaneity this painting, which is like lightning in a bottle to me!

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers dir. Peter Jackson

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing? Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing? Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning, Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?
