Nomadic Canadian. Lots of Tolkien. Occasionally active for creative inspiration, no longer engaging in discussions. I believe in past lives, alternate realities, and truth in fiction.

VAN EYCK

I lost it at the end.

Okay, I had to check out the Van Eyck thing. I was a bit in denial because, come on, every single person can’t look like President Putin!

There are no words to describe how wrong I was.

This awesome arboreal dwelling is the Living the High Life Tree House created by Blue Forest, a British tree house design and construction firm. It’s a luxury family-sized complex featuring two separate tree houses, one for kids and one for their parents. The elevated dwellings are connected by a network of rope bridges which also lead to an adventure play area and an assault course, the latter of which is also accessible via an 80-yard zip line.

It may look rustic, but this is a top-of-the-line tree house. The kids’ house features three medieval towers, and inside one of them a concealed hatch in the upper floor leads to a secret game room containing a plasma TV and video game console. Meanwhile the grown-ups’ treehouse features a conical thatched roof and interior walls made of hand-split oak shingles and cedar tongue-and-groove boards. Inside there’s a kitchen (complete with plenty of wine storage), bathroom, and a large open living area for treetop entertaining. The complex also features accommodations for guests of the family.

Head over to the Blue Forest website to check out more of their amazing custom-built tree houses.

Most modern fantasy just rearranges the furniture in Tolkien’s attic.

And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge.

Something moves in the shadows, unseen, hidden from our sight. It will not show itself, not yet. But every day it grows in strength.

Arranged Marriage AU

[lady-carvenstone]

After the death of Smaug and the Battle of Five Armies, Bard became king of New Dale, while Thorin and the Company has been restoring Erebor. When Fili returns after a few years helping Thorin and then his mother in the Blue Mountains, he finds out that he is to be wed with princess Sigrid of Dale in order to forge stronger alliance between Dwarves and Men. Both sides agree, none of them very happy. Not so long after marriage Fili has to travel in order to make new political alliances. He’s attacked on the road by a pack of wargs and is slightly injured. When he comes back, he realises, after a few days in her care, that his wife might care for him more than he ever expected.
