"So snow comes after fire, and even dragons have their ending."

I'm Nicky (they/them), I'm overly invested in hobbits and I read too much fanfiction. Drop me an ask any time you like - I'm happy to chat! :)

The Doctor + broken sonic screwdriver

Please expand on "the only known hobbit murderer received no legal reprecussions"

OK, short version:

- according to hobbit custom if the family patriarch, the head of the family would be his widow until she died

- so when Fortinbras Took died, his wife Lalia became head of the Took family

- she proceeded to live another 22 years, until she was 119 years old

- her son Ferumbras never married because he could not find a single hobbit woman willing to live in the same house as Lalia. no explanation given as to why but she was presumably very unpleasant.

- Lalia became so fat that she needed a wheelchair to get about

- she finally died when her attendant accidentally (or ‘accidentally’) tipped her out of her wheelchair & down a flight of steps

- rumour had it that her attendant was Pearl Took, Pippin’s older sister

- Pearl was excluded from the party celebrating Ferumbras’s accession to head of the family

- Pearl was later seen out & about wearing a priceless necklace that was a Took family heirloom 

- rumour had it Pearl killed Lalia on purpose, the family covered it up, and Ferumbras rewarded her for killing his mother with the necklace

& that is, to my knowledge, the only known murder committed by a hobbit of the Shire!

#second of all-when the fuck does he have time to explain all of the hobbit drama?? #like -oops boromir just died. anyway back to that queen of queens Pearl

the story about Pearl and Lalia isn’t anywhere in LOTR, it’s in one of Tolkien’s letters! it’s canon tho. technically.

Me: So how did Sauron take “upon himself the form of a werewolf” when a werewolf is a man turned into a wolf? Did he turn himself into a man and then turn himself into a wolf, just to mess with Luthien and Huan? Why not just a wolf then? How do you turn into something that’s already a mix of two things that you’re not either one of?

Hey I just read just about every single doctor who fic you have over on ao3, and I wanted to tell you that I love them all <3 there's a tragic lack of bill content and you're doing the lord's work. Thank you for being awesome <33

Oh wow, this is so recent I was expecting my tumblr to be completely dead after over a year of inactivity! Anyway, thank you so much for leaving this comment, whoever you are! I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me you enjoyed my fics - it’s always nice to hear someone enjoyed them, especially the ones I wrote a while ago.

I agree, the world needs more Bill she is precious and gorgeous and amazing and I’m sad we only got one season of her.

THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME AS WELL, FRIEND

[lloydsglasses]

Psssstt -- Are you still alive?

YES I CAN CONFIRM THAT I AM IN FACT ALIVE

[lloydsglasses]

Hi I'm ur fanfic fan from earlier & I just wanted to say thanks for your latest fic I'm in LOVE. It was one of my first thoughts after 13's reveal-- 11 became 12 after feeling old/tired of acting like a kid, so then the regeneration is somewhat guided by their subconscious, right?? 12 was totally canonically feeling a gender change, at least enough to want to give it a chance. Bless.

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PERSON FROM AGES AGO I’M SORRY I NEVER REPLIED TO THIS MESSAGE BUT I APPRECIATE TO TAKING THE TIME TO LEAVE ME ONE 

[lloydsglasses]

Over the past few months I’ve experienced a significant shift in my life. I’ve spent a lot of that time feeling an overwhelming mix of happiness, excitement, jealousy, confusion, optimism, sadness,…

Hi hi hi

Yes I’m not dead, I just don’t really use tumblr much anymore, but I wrote a blog post and figured it might be worth cross-posting it, it’s about QPRs and polyamory (except it’s about more than that but I figure it’s likely to be of more interest to certain groups of people so I’m labelling it for simplicity)

So Nellas is the most relatable character Tolkien ever wrote

Because she’s an awkward dork who forgets how to be a person the minute Real People start talking to her.

Here she is rolling up to give witness on behalf of the kid she used to babysit, and she’s like Oh crap everyone’s looking at me, I suddenly forgot to my brain and aaaaaaaaaaarggh aaaaaaa what do I…how…Yes I am a Smart People I swear.

Glorfindel recognizes an old friend behind the beard and wrinkles. Glorfindel does not know his own strength.

(This is the version where Glorfindel returns to Middle Earth c. SA1200 to help Elrond and Gil-galad. I like that a lot more than his going there with the Istari in TA.)

Reminder to turn off tumblr’s stupid “best first” feature now that it’s rolled out!

Go to profile>settings (the gear)>global settings>dashboard preferences

[leavenohoofprints]

So I can only find this on mobile. It goes like this: go to your Profile, tap Settings (the gear), select Global Settings. You want to select Dashboard Preferences (which is new, at least on my Samsung Galaxy S5 version of the app)…

It will look like this when activated, and is auto-defaulted to being on.

Make it look like this to turn it off.

CONGRATULATIONS.

You have successfully deactivated this skeezy ‘feature’ which keeps you from seeing things chronologically. :D

[kavtari]

My followers - if you feel like people don’t like your posts, realize that tumblr might not even be showing your posts to people because it uses some arbitrary filter to only show what it thinks people want to see!

Time for another round of Digimon Tri: Alternative Titles!

Now in Symbiosis edition!

Episode 1: I can’t even remember what was happening anymore but as long as Gennai doesn’t lick anyone else I’ll be okay.

Episode 2: I sure wish we cared about our old friends as much as we care about this random new girl we met.

Episode 3: Why hasn’t Gatomon evolved yet.

Episode 4: Ah yes, my favorite part of classic Digimon: The End of Evangelion.

I just learned that some websites use cookies to adjust prices. That is, if you visit a certain website a lot the price will increase.

You can tell if that’s the case by checking the same web page on a different browser if you have a different number of stored cookies for that site. I checked something on Chegg and it was $14.95 on Chrome, $19.95 on Firefox, and $16.95 on Safari.

The fix? Clear your cookies for that website.

Plane tickets almost always do this!

[lmaodies]

PLANE TICKETS DO THIS ALL THE DAMN TIME 

When you’re looking for plane tickets and waiting for prices to drop, ALWAYS clear your cookies beforehand and switch between browsers. A friend of mine was looking for a flight and getting prices that were the CHEAPEST at $800-1000, I sent her a link for a round trip that was like $495, and it read as $900 on her computer because she had been hounding the airline site. 

[mugglesofficial]

alternatively: avoid all this headache by using incognito when shopping for plane tickets, text books, etc

[captocie]

Hotel rooms are notorious for this, as well. Just like, go on incognito mode to look at these sites, saves u a lot of time & hassle.
