time is a weird soup

Savannah, bi/ace, she/her, general overenthusiastic nerd. I like dnd, fairy tales, Les Miserables, Princess Tutu, Doctor Who/Big Finish, YA books, Romanticism and gothic lit, and go through intense hyperfixations with zero warning! sometimes I write fic and make jewelry and talk about books. please come talk to me about fluffy aus.

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

Hello, I'm Clo and I might have a problem in the form of my love for a certain redeaded elf...

I kinda made myself tear up with this, so I decided to add the final #chibi to show another aspect of Maedhros that we should not forget... <;

[wisesnail]

I don't know why but lately I have been in the mood for some Silmarillion (or tragedy, which is basically the same thing), so I'm sharing again this (for me) heart wrenching collection of Maedheos pics 😭

Nellas finds Eluréd and Elurín

Whatever else one can say about Tolkien, deciding to resolve accidentally using the same elf name twice by going "actually, it's the same guy; yeah, he just walked back to Middle-Earth from the afterlife – in fact, all elves can technically do that, but he's the only one who did" was kind of a move.

[ID START. An image of an anime character (possibly Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter) standing naked in front of floor to ceiling windows showing a bright blue sky. His back is to the viewer. The subtitles on the image read “Yeah, July 10th.” ID END]

one thing about me is that i will lose my mind about the personification of the house

[orpheuslament]

this house hates you. this house loves you. this house wont ever let you leave. this house has eyes & a mouth. you could make this house speak. you could make this house cry. this house has seen the worst parts of you & wants to keep you inside it forever. this house will die with you. etc.
