Regular days can produce great art

- Humphrey Carpenter's J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography

During a couple hours on this particular day, Tolkien took Frodo across the Dead Marshes to the gates of Mordor, then mowed the lawn.

"It was approved."

can you imagine a world where they hadn't approved of The Lord of the Rings

Also lovely that he wrote about trees that way in his daily life, too.

i just wish the frightening ghoul would say something. for once. the silence is more disconcerting than anything it might say

[cerezaofthefae]

For in its silence, the ghoul says everything, it speaks of lost love, of your greatest sin, of things not done, and of horses.

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

hey don't cry. on december 3, 1926, agatha christie went missing for eleven days and because the uk police didn't know what to do they recruited sir arthur conan doyle, creator of master detective sherlock holmes, but all he did was conduct a séance to try and contact her distressed spirit

[readysetjo]

I did a loud snort so I found a source

[json-derulo]

not only was she found alive and well after eleven days (staying under a false name at a hotel & spa almost 200 miles from where she vanished), she also never publicly explained her disappearance, claiming amnesia

Presenting: my latest miniature project! It’s meant to be Artoria Pendragon, in the style of Warhammer Age of Sigmar/40k. This is now my second Fate-inspired miniature (third if you count Mordred), and I had a lot of fun bringing her to life!

Main inspiration was this iconic pose:

As well as her Lancer variant from Fate/Grand Order:
