When it might be time to leave the hiking path and head home!!

There’s a difference between parents who want you to be happy, and parents who want you to look happy.

 If your parents want you to be happy, they will be there for you when you need them, and help you with your struggles. They’ll take your pain seriously. They wont make fun of your problems when that hurts you. They’ll point out your good sides. They’ll let you know they hold you valuable and important no matter what the rest of the world says about you. They’ll make sure you know they’re on your side, here to protect and get you out of trouble, that if something happens you have backup, you have a safety to fall back on. They’ll make sure you have a place you belong to, place where you’re welcome and wanted. They’ll be a source of comfort, warmth and support.

If your parents want you to look happy, they’ll demand that you stuff down your emotions and play an act of a child who doesn’t need anything or anyone, who is just fine the way things are, no matter how bad things are for you. They’ll dictate what you’re allowed to think of them and how you’re supposed to react on anything and everything they do. They’ll demand you hide your pain, your symptoms, your anger, your fear, anything that makes them look like less than perfect parents has to go. They’ll let you know that they are important, you aren’t. Their emotions and needs and desires are important, yours aren’t. Their pain has to be paid back, yours has to be ignored and forgotten. Your life falls back on what is and isn’t convenient to them, every part of you is judged only by how much use they can have of it. And of course, they’ll tell you they did it all for your sake, because if they didn’t, who knows how awful you would turn out. 

If they say they want you to be happy, but their actions tell you that you need to look happy “or else”, they’re abusive parents, and they do not care about your happiness.

It’s like someone observed my childhood, and wrote about what they saw.

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

So, I was a child of the "Look Happy" parents and at least I can say a mother of the "want happy children". In the end, my children's happiness washes away the pains from my past.

Take a close look at this official US Post office poster, I don't think that is where the stamp goes!

[luisonte]

wwwuiiiiiiIIII!!!!

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

Oh yes, I am so very sure that this will work and I am completely not concerned that these are diet tips that I have not "heared"... as opposed to heard. Honestly, if I must see an ad, could they at least do a spell check?!

[tanoraqui]

that theory that the Arkenstone is a Silmaril…it’s doubly implausible, but imagine if nobody knew. If the dwarves were guarded enough of their greatest treasure that…you wouldn’t even need to hide it from that many people, honestly. Mostly a few elves, and all wizards.

and then Bilbo sidles up to Gandalf like, “Thorin and all are holed up in the Mountain, but I think they’re being nuts, so I…kind of stole the Arkenstone, I think.” And (it’s been thousands of years since the light of the trees was doused save for the precious brilliance locked away in Feanor’s gems, since oaths and blood and war that raged until the skies cracked and the earth shattered, and the little people of the Shire have no memory of it at all) he pulls out a fucking Silmaril.

[tanoraqui]

Gandalf: *spittake*

Gandalf: *hurriedly glances at Thranduil. the king of Mirkwood’s eyes shine with curiosity and greed, but not recognition, nor the terrible lust that overtook Feanor and his sons. right, right, he was never in Thingol’s court while the jewel that Luthien and Beren took was there. we’re good. we’re good for now*

Gandalf: That’s, uh, nice, Bilbo. Put it away, would you?

[tanoraqui]

Gandalf, telepathically(?): EMERGENCY RINGBEARERS ONLY CONFAB NOW

Gandalf: [mental image of a goddam Silmaril in hobbit hands, labelled “thisfuckingrockagain.jpg”]

Galadriel, who watched 95% of her family slaughter everyone within 100 miles for several thousand years over these things, including each other and themselves: no.

Elrond, who was very nearly one of those people slaughtered, and did watch most of his town be killed before he and his twin were kidnapped for a while: Absolutely Fucking Not.

Gandalf: Apparently fucking yes. The legendary Arkenstone-

Galadriel: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Elrond: Thorin Oakenshield has a Silmaril right now?

Gandalf: No, no.

Gandalf: Bilbo stole it.

Elrond: *wordless sputtering*

Gandalf: @Galadriel [information packet: BilboBagginsoftheShire.pdf]

Galadriel: Oh yes, Belladonna’s boy, you were telling me about him last winter. 

Galadriel: Btw, orc+warg army probably coming your way. Spotted it in the mirror last night. Thank goodness we dealt with Dol Goldur at least, huh?

Elrond: No fucking shit.

[tanoraqui]

Gandalf @Gwaihir Windlord: hey, sorry to bother you again, I know it’s nearly mating season. but we have a situation again

Gandalf: [thisfuckingrockagain.jpg]

Gandalf: [flashbacktobadasseaglesinwarofwrathhinthint.mov]

[avelera]

I mean, given that Tolkien retconned “The Hobbit” so Bilbo’s little invisibility ring became an ancient piece of jewelry that controls minds and drives the mighty mad, one can at least understand why it seems plausible that the other shiny white gem that destroys empires and makes the mighty go mad with greed could be linked from his kid’s book to his gigantic early mythology in retrospect??

[crazy-pages]

You know this actually explains a lot about why Gandalf didn’t immediately raise the alarm about Bilbo’s ring out of an abundance of caution. I mean, what are the odds, what are the fucking odds, that this one little hobbit stole both a Silmaril and the Ring of Power? Like, you are Gandalf the Grey and you have already dealt with the heart attack to end all heart attacks because this little innocent fool stole a world war inspiring artifact once. You still get flashbacks every time Bilbo offers to show you something and have to employ all of your angel’s serenity and thousands of years of learned composure not start giBbERinG “ pleaseletitnotbeanotherartifactpleaseletitnotbeanotherartifact”. And then. AND THEN! One day he’s like, “hey Gandalf let me show you this neat ring I found back on our journey”. And on the inside a tiny part of you is screaming “nottheoneringnottheoneringnottheonering” while a more rational part of your brain assures you it could not possibly be the one- “It’s this plain gold ring that’s very precious to me and turns me invisible!”

AND THEN YOU FUCK OFF AND SEARCH THROUGH EVERY POSSIBLE TOME YOU CAN TO PROVE IT CAN’T REALLY BE THE RING OF POWER, SAURON’S RING OF POWER, THAT RING, THE ONE RING, LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TOME, BEFORE FINALLY FUCKING ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS SHIT IS REALLY HAPPENING AGAIN

[countesskittymeow]

@shewhodoesnotexist what says you? :P

[shewhodoesnotexist]

I’ve never been a proponent of this theory, but I gotta admit the idea of Bilbo finding two world war inspiring artifacts is alluring ;D

Next you’ll be telling me Sting is Gurthang

[abrownpanther]

Sting may or may not be Angrist, the knife that Beren used to get the Silmarill off of Morgoth’s crown

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

Somewhere J.R.R. Tolkien is standing on a pier, looks up from his smartphone and over his shoulder at we who are left behind, a misty look in his eye. Starts walking toward an elven ship to make his way to the grey havens ... throws his phone into the sea and the last words we hear from him, "About fucking time..."

Kindle Worlds

I’ve seen a post circulating a lot over the last 48 hours about Kindle Worlds, Amazon’s fanfiction publishing platform set to devastate ao3.

that post is over 7 years old.

Kindle Worlds launched in 2013 and clearly was not successful, because it closed down in 2018. All copyright reverted to the authors on closure! Ironically, the first thing that comes up now if you google Kindle Worlds is Amazon’s inactive blog that they seemingly used to promote KW on tumblr.

I completely get why people are panicking about Kindle Worlds, but it’s not just old news - it’s not happening anymore! It did happen, and it flopped so badly that none of us even noticed.

one of tumblr’s worst features is not putting a date of origin on posts and that’s a real problem when it comes to news! so please do check the timestamps on news posts before reblogging - whilst the fight against Amazon goes on, there are other places we can be directing those reblogs, + we do not need to spend extra spoons worrying about this!

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

I was so excited to start a coup d'etat against Amazon by writing as many Disney fanfics as possible in hopes that they would license it, try and take it, I would report it to Disney and grab popcorn... Kong vs Godzilla, for real!!

Well, this looks Deeply Cursed™

[patrickdiomedes]

I have a feeling that your worries aren't all the faeries would take away

[tflatte]

well, it’s not wrong. once the fairies take you you stop worrying about what you used to worry about. granted, you start worrying about the fact that you’ve just been turned into a deer and are being chased by the wild hunt, but you know. not technically a lie.

[lakidaa]

honestly at this point just fucking do it.

Sign me up, I am ready to go.

I am starting to understand but, for us chimps in the room, what does the initial ape get from the snakes who borrowed his bananas? Why would he let them borrow his bananas and what do they promise the ape?

Question for fanfiction writers. Is it okay to leave reviews on your chapters if I am complimenting and being funny? For example, if I say, "you are brilliant but you left me hanging and I dislike you but cannot wait for the next chapter, etc," things like that. I'm not trying to be clever to gain attention, its just my quirky sense of humor but I don't want to annoy you. Honest answers are welcome, you won't hurt my feelings. Tagging some writers but anyone else can answer. @madamebaggio @myrielleglassman @themoonlily

Here’s an update!

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

If you enjoy fanfictions of Lord of the Rings characters, mainly Eomer and Lothiriel, you must read this wip. This is one of my favorite authors who writes such interesting twists that make for great reads.

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

You're having a bad day that turns into a restless night and a morning that starts with a headache and irrepressible gloom. Then suddenly you get a notice that a Fanfic you have been following was updated. When you last read it, the main couple were struggling after they just seemed to be getting along so well. You hope they mended their troubles and find happiness together, it sure would perk up your day. But no, they get pulled further apart, make rash decisions and then just when he realizes what he might be losing a new threat appears and ... cliffhanger. REALLY?!!! Do you talented writers know what you do to us readers?!! Now my day feels worse as if I am in this story also on a cliffhanger of my own. What to do? No choice but to keep refreshing my notifications waiting for a happier chapter. 🤪

“What’s a soul mate? It’s… Well… It’s like a best friend, but more. It’s the one person in the world who knows you better than anyone else. Someone who makes you a better person. Actually, they don’t make you a better person. You do that yourself, because they inspire you. A soul mate is someone who you carry with you forever.”

[rhofanficreadergamerdreamer]

I was just talking about soul mates last night. I have been rather sad today because although I love the person I am with, deep in my heart I fear I was with my soul mate many years ago, ages ago, and we broke up. There have been many times I have thought of him. But, maybe he was half my soul mate and I married the other half.... thank you @fistful-of-fandom for sharing this.
