Bagginshield/Drarry Musings

[valtsv]

everyone in fantasy novels is horny on main for elves and it’s honestly a travesty like why the hell would you want to marry an elf you’ll just spend the rest of your days growing old in the woods with a bunch of immortal bastards whose heads are so far up their asses they think singing week-long ballads is prime entertainment and say shit like “thou” and “beseech” unironically y'all should be hooking up with dwarves who 1. actually know how to throw the fuck down and let loose at a party 2. will literally shower you in diamond dust and gold they mined and crafted with their bare hands and 3. can sling you over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes with their huge muscular arms developed from hours of said mining and crafting. there’s literally no contest.

@strangezeroz welcome to tumblr where the app decides when you can be gifted with the sight of og memes, you cannot look for these yourself via the search engine, you won’t find them, you have to wait to be gifted them

[miss-nerd-alert]

For those of you who might be new here, Tumblr has no algorithm, legendary memes are brought to your dash by mutuals like pet cats bringing you dead birds.

Sexy majestic time for the next top King Under the Mountain.

Being overly-familiar with a series is such a weird burden sometimes because like

you’ll see some theory being passed around that you instantly know is wrong. Like it’s surprising to see people supporting it because the flaws in its logic are so glaringly obvious. Until it hits you that, yeah it’s wrong, but only because you were able to immediately remember the 5 second conversation between two background characters 17 minutes through s2e13 that definitively disproves it. And no casual fan would have any reason to remember that off the top of their head and it’s you who’s the weird human encyclopedia with a shot-for-shot memory the entire damn series.

Like at that point you don’t even know anymore whether to argue your point or just…maybe go outside for a little bit.

i believe in bilbo and thorin's love so strongly that i don't care if i'm being delusional!! they are very real to me!! 😭 they're in love and reshired and living their best old man lives

[voluptuarian]

Reading Vanity Fair now after having watched three different adaptations of it over the years without it hitting home that Pitt Crawley is named for William Pitt the Elder, I was completely unprepared to then immediately have this information followed up with his father having been named Walpole, and the combined effect had me laughing so hard I had to put the fucking book down.

[voluptuarian]

Picked it back up just to get hit with Mungo Binkie, Lord Binkie 😂

[shantismurf]

I have no context and I still have to put my phone down laughing 🤣

Now Hobbit names suddenly sound totally normal.

[darcylindbergh]

every single thing bilbo says in the beginning of the fellowship of the ring is specifically designed to tear my bagginshield heart out… “I put this off for far too long,” “I meant to go back, see the Lonely Mountain again,” “Frodo’s still in love with the Shire” meaning bilbo himself isn’t and probably hasn’t been in eighty years, and of course, “I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, mountains!” bitch you don’t want to see mountains again. you want to see his mountain - you want to see him. you want to finally go back to admit the things you could not have admitted before under the pain of grief. and when you say the perfect ending to your book is that “he lived happily ever after, to the end of his days,” you mean that it’s an ending you could only have in books, and you are setting off on the journey to write it down - to admit it to yourself. bilbo baggins shut your mouth

Spelling mistakes? I guarantee neither of us saw those at 3:00 AM Monday Morning.

@sherbertilluminated there's a line somewhere in Ursula Vernon's Digger that goes something like "it is difficult to be metaphysical around the truly geologically minded"

I found his bio on societyofpresidentialdescendants.org and it was so delightful I had to copy paste the whole thing:

“Ulysses Grant Dietz grew up in Syracuse, New York, where his Leave it to Beaver life was enlivened by his fascination with vampires, from Bela Lugosi to Barnabas Collins. He studied French at Yale (BA, 1977), and was trained to be a museum curator in the University of Delaware’s Winterthur Program in American Material Culture (MA, 1980). A decorative arts curator at the Newark Museum for thirty-seven years before he retired, Ulysses has never stopped writing for the sheer pleasure of it. Aside from books on Victorian furniture, art pottery, studio ceramics, jewelry, and the White House, Ulysses created the character of Desmond Beckwith in 1988 as his personal response to Anne Rice’s landmark novels. Alyson Books released his first novel, Desmond, in 1998. Vampire in Suburbia, the sequel, appeared in 2012. His most recent novel, Cliffhanger, was released by JMS Books in December 2020.

“Ulysses lives in suburban New Jersey with his husband of 45 years. They have two grown children, adopted in 1996.

“Ulysses is a great-great grandson of Ulysses S. Grant. His late mother, Julia, was the President’s last living great-grandchild; youngest daughter of Ulysses S. Grant III, and granddaughter of the president’s eldest son, Frederick. Every year on April 27 he gives a speech at Grant’s Tomb in New York City. He is also on the board of the U.S. Grant Presidential Library and Museum at Mississippi State University.”

And frankly, the novels sound like they slap:

Desmond was nominated for a Lambda Award.

“With his husband of 45 years.” You kids don’t know ... they got together before AIDS, at the peak of the Gay Glam Life. They stayed together as their generation died around them, and made through it to the point where they could marry and have a legal family. He looks like a chipper preppie who never had a serious thought or care in the world, but it took *incredible* determination, commitment, and also luck to get here.

having now read the first of this man's vampire books, you can absolutely tell that he cares a lot about historical furniture because oh my god he really wanted to tell us about all the historical furniture in this vampire's house. material culture as foreplay. seduction via theses about chairs

Hi!

So I was re-reading your 'Roses of Iron' story again, because it is quite possibly my favourite bagginshield fic ever. (And one day I will beg permission to print it out and enshrine it in gilded hardcover)

But I hadn't realised you had a Tumblr until I went looking, and I saw that you had posts about commenting on stories even if they're old (yes! Agreed!)

And while I could do that, and may yet do so, I figured I could also send you this.

That is to say, I adore your stories and after sending this I plan to go binge read all the new ones that I hadn't realised you put up. Thank you for the new work, and know that your older stories are still being read and appreciated, if anything ever happened to them I would, literally, cry about it.

Also I'm probably going to want to make fanart so just double checking if that's cool.

Hi! Comments on whatever forum are lovely, so thanks for the note!! So glad you enjoyed Roses... it was a beast to write but it seems to be my most beloved of children by so many. Fanart is definitely welcome! I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

Thanks again for the lovely note! <3 <3 <3
