“But you always have to watch Tolkien with water. He never uses it unmeaningfully. Pools and lakes mirror stars, and hold hidden things. The Anduin has contrasting banks and, moreover, reeks of history. In a way, it is history, and the Fellowship is going with the current, to break up in confusion at the falls of Rauros. It is worth pointing out that when Aragorn later uses the same river, he comes up it, against the current, changing a course of events that seems inevitable. The other water is of course the Sea. This has been sounding dimly in our ears throughout the book, but in Lothlorien it begins to thunder. Does it suggest loss, departure and death? Certainly. But since water is always life to Tolkien, it must also be eternity.”

— Diana Wynne Jones, ‘The Shape of the Narrative in The Lord of the Rings.’

“But [Tumblr’s] value, of course, is more than just what it isn’t, and what it points away from. Despite all the drama and discourse lurking in its corners, it’s easy to make your own Tumblr life as simple and as happy as you want it to be. There are no algorithmic threats lurking around every corner, no onslaught of promoted posts from politicians or influencers. More than anything else, Tumblr in 2020 is a self-sustaining ecosystem. It’s a semi-sealed and increasingly fertile terrarium, a nigh-impossible perpetual-motion machine of a platform going productively psychotic in its isolation.”

This article actually really explains why I’m still here after 10 years.

“a nigh-impossible perpetual-motion machine going productively psychotic in its isolation” is my new tindr profile

[mayevenyou]

What a beautiful phrase!

[mayevenyou]

One thing I love about getting into new stories is getting to know the energy of their fandoms. Lord of the Rings is wistful, elegant, tinged with nostalgia. Critical Role is all gifs and angst and incredible art. But I've recently been tempted into The Magnus Archives, and as far as I can tell that fandom? Is one that is entirely composed of feral teens with an eldritch knowledge of TikTok. I am delighted and terrified. Statement ends.

Glass of Supervicious Fluid

[crabnarok]

[enemafrostofficial]

Take a fucking sip babes

[historydepartment]

I like how super cruel this fluid is

[hennethgalad]

@mayevenyou comments?

[mayevenyou]

Ah I love that you think of me whenever strange drinks come up! I think this is something Ancalagon the Black might have knocking around his basement bar - that or its what comes out of my cocktail cabinet after two weeks self isolating! Hope everyone is doing OK out there.

Followers, any ideas? Looks smoky and enticing, whatever it is!

MIRUVOR

To the untrained eye, Miruvor may sound a lot like mead. I decided to go a different route with this Miruvor however, since mead is most definitely a beverage that doesn’t appeal to everyone. This drink is perfect for a hot day or a hotter party and you can have more than one glass of it without feeling like a viking. It’s invigorating, refreshing, and just alcoholic enough to be interesting. Of course, if you’d rather pass on that aspect of it the alcohol can be completely left out without affecting the overall flavor of the Miruvor. So whether you’re a party-hardy Tolkienite or just looking for a thirst quencher, this one is for you!

@mayevenyou peach and lemon tho 🤔

[mayevenyou]

Yeah, maybe on a very, very ripe peach to cut the sweetness, but would need to try this to be sure!

Ah, Luthien. What can you say about a woman whose voice releases the bounds of winter, and whose hair is the colour of twilight and hides her from prying eyes? This is a lady whose grandson will, spoiler alert, literally grow up to be a star. 

So I’ve kept it very classy this week - a version of the classic champagne cocktail. It should be very cold, very bright, and very bubbly. And just like Luthien, there’s a bit of magic to this cocktail - it gets you drunk ridiculously fast! 

LUTHIEN - serves one

Sugar Cube

Bitters

splash vodka - poured from a bottle in the freezer

Chilled, dry champagne, cava, prosecco or other fizzy wine

Drop your sugar cube in a champagne glass, and top with three drops of bitters. Add a splash of vodka to taste, and top with champagne. Drink to all women who go out on quests.

Melethronnen and I felt very fancy - and tipsy - with these. Gifted the ingredients with the recipe tied to it to an istanneth going into the field.

[mayevenyou]

Amazing! I'm so thrilled to see these still going around. Namarie!

Scouting the ghost town of Mentryville, an oil drilling town in the Santa Susana Mountains dating to the 1870s, and was impressed by this cute old abandoned cottage…til I learned it’s actually just a left-over set from the 1984 Disney film One Magic Christmas. :)

[mayevenyou]

A different sort of history, definitely! Is it common for sets to be left up like this? I know of Hobbiton in NZ but not much else.
