hi ! i'm nienna. welcome here ! i'm working full time on a day job now, i'm sad i have even less time for here, but i have to eat unfortunately..
I'm on a healing journey, and wish to succeed an Artist/Illustrator in life and is lost in her love for Star Wars & Middle Earth.
I love to talk (like a lot), draw flowers and paint, to listen to music, from rock and jazz/blues to movies' soundtracks. I'm also passionate about everything History, a bit of Astrology, and everything about Space, Planets and Stars. Let's say I'm a Moonchild.
I also dove into writing a year ago and I feel so happy to be able to give birth to stories that have been sleeping in my mind for so long and now share them with you.
Feel free to come along and chat about characters, a movie or series, just a scene, or just if you have thoughts and want to talk about it !

⤷ Fic Rec (coming soon)

lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.
My original plan was to finish at least the first choice from this poll, but after realizing the Joel Miller fandom had a slight edge in numbers, I decided to do both the top two. Just haven't had the time to actually finish until now, sadly. As I mentioned in my post this summer, I hate when authors just drop off the face of the Earth and I wonder if they're doing okay months/years later, I wanted to make sure I gave a real goodbye when I knew I wouldn't have time to write anymore.
So I'll put up the fic Sunday when I have the time to format it, and then spend another week still logging in pretty regularly to reply to comments or messages, and after that I'll be pretty much done. It's been lovely getting to know everyone and I've definitely been missing it, so it's a bittersweet goodbye for sure, but I know I just can't find the time anymore. As always, can't say enough thanks to everyone and if you've sent me a DM or commented in the past couple months I'm terribly sorry for my lateness but I'll try to get some replies in this week.
Finally, here's the (still untitled) final Obi Wan x Reader one off coming Sunday :)

“What I’ve enjoyed specifically is that we’ve created a relationship on-screen that mirrors our relationship off-screen and we both get on terribly well. But we’ve made an incredible bond and a real friendship there, so that there is something important that’s lost.” - Ewan McGregor
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
I'm catching up on tumblr after my unplanned long hiatus (lol) but I saw an ancient WIP weds post from you and it made me wonder -- any cosplay updates? 👀
Babyyyyyyyy glad to see you're back!!
I juuuust recently put out a little cosplay and everything else update but because you asked so nicely, I will yap about it a little more.
Cosplay yapping under the cut!!! It's a long one, folks
Regarding Rani/Maia/my Mando armor:
lil happy me first time wearing her out:
Hi it me, yes I haz dimples like Pepsi
Back in May I had a "in person approval rating" of my kit and while I don't necessarily agree with some of the points the costume council made with regards to what my kit consists of, some points were valid. My plan was never to achieve CRL conformity because the official Mando costume organizations that are approved by Lucasarts are very anti Jedi-Mando. I am not a member of any of the Mercs splinter groups, keep that in mind. I joined another costume club because they said they were a little more lenient with the official rules, which they are.
I had made new thigh plates on relatively short notice because they were too small, again, that is a valid criticism as making the same plates bigger doesn't change the overall character design. Having to add a codpiece or a 'loincloth' to my Kama (which was a point they also mentioned) would change my design. (also I don't really see how that's necessary when Bo-Katan has neither, and I don't see the lil plate below her belt as a cod piece, if that's supposed to be it)
behold the world's most useless backplate :)
I will make a new back plate, the one I currently have is made from hard foam and despite the name it dents way too quckly. Also the plate is too small, anyway. So I'm looking into buying a 3D model of a back plate that fits the vibe that I can print at work. (I have access to a lot of 3D printers and I am so ecstatic about that, bc that means I don't have to buy a printer and filament myself, so I save 500 bucks. YAY!)
Grogu wanted to say hi, and HIDEOUS LACES AHHH KILL THEM
Another somewhat valid point was that the laces on my boots shouldn't be visible. No biggie, I'll add some faux leather to the bottom of my shin guards and the laces will be hidden.
And I might have to add snaps to the vest up on the shoulder straps. Or detach and re-attach the shoulder bands a little further in. The armor pulls them off my bebe shoulders.
I have to rework the belt pouches. I am still unhappy with how they look, even if there is A LOT of improvement between version 1 and 2.
also I need a holster for this beauty here. As cool as she is, I don't want to carry her around all damn day.
Regarding other costumes:
I have mentioned that I have two sparkle fabrics waiting for my motivation to return. I have my last con of this year in the end of November (which will also be the two year anniversary of mine and Zaddy's roleplay, theehee) and I will most likely not wear my Mando kit on both days. Being in a overall all day really messes up my posture and my shoulders and back will hate me. Not sure it's the costume's fault or just me having bad posture in general and it's more pronounced when I have limited movements.
The dresses in question, again:
Maia in a lil silver sparkle sparkle and Eve Macarro... who arguably also is Maia just in a different universe
ALSO
my dearest Heehoo, who had given up on cosplaying back in 2023 after a somewhat unrewarding trip to Star Wars celebration in London, decided to give it another try in a more comfortable costume. Me, the ever supporting (and totally not perverted) wifey offered to put together a Joel Miller costume for him. hehe
