A Throwback for a Throwback…
I honestly can’t tell you how long it’s been since the last time I was on tumblr, but clearly it’s been long enough for me to forget how many years have passed.
I made my very first tumblr account when I was in middle school—way back in 2012, maybe 2013.
What a time that was… Fanart and fanfic abound. So far it doesn’t seem like that has changed much. How nostalgic.
Speaking of nostalgia…
When I made my new account last night, I thought to myself, “What better way to kick things off than to make an art of one of OCs from my OG tumblr era?”
So this is that. Kozaine, a human/wolf hybrid resulting from a government genetic experiment gone wrong. An OC I made when I was about 15 years old, dipping my toes into the waters of furrydom for the first time. Beautiful and powerful, just like I wanted to be at the time.
I’ve grown up a lot since then, which of course meant that I had to have her grow up too.
I often struggle to find the time to sit down and draw the way I once did, now that I’m a parent and no longer a teenage loner gripped by insomnia. (I’m just an adult loner gripped by insomnia now 🥲)
This was a fantastic reminder that I’m still capable, even if I don’t get to flex my artist muscles as much as I’d like to these days.

AAAAUGHH SHE'S SO ETHEREAL AND FLUFFY AND AAAAAAAA I LOVE HERRRRRR
andrew pope cody, who isn't used to softness...
summary; andrew pope cody with a soft gf, one who treats him with so much kindness and patience, that he isn't sure how to accept it sometimes.
a/n; i just love my popey so much i cant help but write soft stuff about him, he deserves so much better </3 this is kind of a mini-birthday drabble, since pope's bday was not too long ago :3
warnings; some bad language, sm*rf mention (i hate her), some mentions of andrews bad childhood
The family Andrew grew up in was built on tough love. If he scraped a knee, he didn't expect comfort. If he made a mistake, he waited for the yelling to start. Year by year, his walls built higher and higher.
But somehow, you've managed to weasel in through the cracks. Always treating him with kindness and patience, never ever raising your voice around him. He fucks up? You say 'oh Andy, it's okay...' in the sweetest voice, heart clenching and the guilty look in his eyes.
Physical touch has always been a touchy topic for him. Smurf had a habit of weaponizing her love against her children, using each hug and kiss as a manipulation tactic. So when you, in bed, slowly curl up into Andrew's chest, soft, warm breaths hitting his collarbone? He freezes.
You do this kind of stuff all the time. In public, you'll let your hand curl into his sleeve, or hug his arm in crowds. At the start of your relationship, it always made him freeze up. But now, he waits for it. He doesn't often seek out contact first, just waits for you to do so.
But you've gotten good at reading him. His eyes keep darting to you every other second, when he wants you to curl up to him, and pull his arm over your shoulder. He'll anxiously tap his fingers when he wants to hold your hand.
And in bed, he always leaves enough room for you to curl up to him.
But what really did him in, was when one morning, he woke up without you in bed. Now, Andrew had a habit of waking up really early. He's always up hours before you, you've even joked about it. So, of course, he was worried. You out of bed before him?
He rushed to the kitchen, only to feel relief flood his veins as he saw you there. One of his shirts on, hem brushing against your thighs, as you hummed to the spatula in your hand, breakfast frying on the pan.
As if sensing him, you turned around, giving him the biggest grin possible. "G'morning, Andy!" You set the spatula down to scurry over to him, wrapping your arms around his neck for a tight hug, "Happy birthday! I got up early to make you breakfast."
His hands shook a little, before they dropped to your waist, slowly sliding to wrap around you, pulling you as close as he could. You got up early to make a birthday breakfast for him.
"Y'didn't need to do that." He murmured quietly, lips a little pursed, fighting a small smile, "I know how much you love sleep. I coulda' made breakfast.."
You knew he wasn't being ungrateful. That's just how his brain is wired. Nothing is free, that's what he learned growing up. But you keep showing up for him. Giving him love packed up in a plate of eggs and bacon. Never expecting anything back.
"It's okay..." You hummed, slowly pulling back to go back to the stove, "I can take a little nap later. I haven't made many plans for us today, just thought we could do what you wanna do. Could go surf. Or for a walk. Or jus' stay here." You offered options, carefully plating his breakfast.
Two fried eggs, an unhealthy amount of bacon (because in this house, food is measured with love!), of course some fruits and vegetables.
Setting his plate and your own down on the kitchen island, you tugged him closer by his hand. He'd practically been frozen in a trance the entire time.
"Mhm." He grunted, kissing your temple quickly before sitting down, eyes staying on you, until you sat down and started eating. "Jus' wanna be with you today. I don't really care what we do..."
He really means it too. He doesn't care what he does today, as long as you're by his side. Andrew would literally watch paint dry, if he got to sit with you while doing so.
The rest of breakfast was spent in comfortable silence, with non-stop eye contact. And somewhere between his second serving of eggs and third glass of orange juice, Andrew reached across the island, and placed his hand in yours.
OHHHHH my heart, I needed this after finishing animal kingdom 😭😭😭♡♡♡
important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are
reblog if you're also lame and weird.
walk into a club like can I tempt you with a cup of camomile
If they respond with "no no, a little red wine for me I should think" we're getting married
Every time Sean Astin makes a statement on whether or not Sam and Frodo were indeed gay for each other in lord of the rings he’s always like “well we have to acknowledge that attitudes around sexuality have changed dramatically over the past several decades and since authorial intent is only up to speculation, the story is open to multiple readings, some of which might have different significances for different groups of people also they kiss on the lips because I said so”
at the rose city comic con panel this month a fan asked them (sean and elijah) if sam and frodo were in love and they said
Sean: .....yes. absolutely
Elijah: 100 percent.
Sean: dont tell rosie
Rosie: "This is my husband Sam, and that's his husband, Frodo. Frodo is my husband-in-law. I'm not into him, he's he's a bit too 'elfy' for my taste, but Sam likes him, and that's fine with me. As far as I know, Frodo can't give Sam children, but Frodo looks after ours all the same, so I don't mind sharing Sam if it means another pair of eyes on the wee ones. In all honesty, our family tree is right simple compared to some hobbits. Yes, I'm referrin' to you Lobelia, over there pretendin' you ain't eavesdroppin'. Still bitter you ain't got either of my boys or their house, eh?"
Tbh it's canon that Frodo invited Sam and Rosie to move in to Bag End after their wedding and they all lived there for a couple of years until Frodo went to Valinor, so yeah. Running with it.
And once Rosie dies, Sam says his goodbyes and disappears after him.
what’s funny is people assuming that rosie would somehow be too dim or naive to KNOW that sam loved frodo, instead of looking at a guy who would loyally follow a beloved friend to hell and then help carry him home again, and not be like ‘oh i can’t not fuck that.’
Polyamory, specifically polyandry, would be an interesting solution to the oddball population of the Shire.
The Shire is excellent farming country, with consistently good weather, and only one tough winter in living memory; hobbits like to produce large families; they’re resistant to disease, rarely violent, and encounter few dangers. It is usual for hobbits to produce many children, so that (for example) Bilbo and Frodo are unusual in both being only children, with no siblings, and not having children of their own. All of this should point to a population that increases every generation if not doubling outright. Young people (and their ideologies!) should rapidly outnumber the old with an ever-increasing effect and impact on society. However, the Shire has a surprisingly stable history; it never seems to increase or decrease greatly in population, and the bell curve of age seems… demographically balanced? There certainly isn’t a conflict from rising young bloods challenging the middle-aged reactionaries; there’s no unemployment; there are no housing crises or waves of emigration, or even a tendency for young people leaving home to marry. Meanwhile, not only does the Shire not suffer from internal pressures, but it remains obscure and hardly noticed in global politics.
What makes sense here is that adult hobbits form a loose group. Four parents in a polycule, between them all, may produce four children. All four parents claim to have four children. An outsider would assume this meant the adults had eight children.
Hobbits therefore are not especially fertile or fecund. They simply have large families. Much of their interest in genealogy is due to the complex relationships of blood-kin, hearth-kin, love-kin and pledge-kin, who must all be carefully tracked and measured - not just because you need to make sure that you don’t climb into bed with an un-permitted degree of blood-kin, but to track family alliances and carefully quantify the precise level of thoughtfulness to put into the proper present to gift your father’s lover’s lover (too much implies a degree of intimacy that might upset the polycule.)
Thus, while a hobbit matron may tell a startled dwarf that she has seven sons, she might only have borne five of them herself, and have one hearth-son by her wife, and a pledge-son of her first husband’s. There are between three and four fathers involved at various stages of production, from conception to pledge-duty, but there is debate about the precise number of fathers, as one child was festival-conceived and therefore provisionally pledged to the Brandybucks until more distinctive paternal traits should materialise. It’s expected that four of the sons will be uninterested in women, and their contribution to family life will be in raising hearth-children and pledge-duty. However, this level of detail is normally negotiated later in conversation, as a mutual overture of friendship. So she’s just clear and simple: yes, certainly, she has seven sons. Yes, they’re all hers. Yes, that’s fairly normal - yes, hobbits like big families. How big? That’s really hard to say! Well, about thirteen hobbits live in her house… er, she has forty-three nieces and nephews. Yes! She has nine siblings, that’s correct, but some of them are still babies themselves..
In this way, a bewildered dwarf might assume that hobbits are absurdly fertile, producing an average of seven children per couple, at an absurd pace.
When in fact, with about half of hobbits never bearing biological children, the population of hobbits is pretty much always the same.
Tl:dr, hobbit population works perfectly well, both internally and in the perceptions of outsiders, if the majority of the Shire is gay, they’re all polyamorous, and they all firmly claim to be parents of high numbers of children. Of course Frodo fathered Sam’s kids - he named them! They were pledge-kin but not hearth-kin, as Frodo needed a lot of quiet and stability in the home.
No outsider ever parses hobbit genealogy well enough to understand this except for Gandalf, who never explains anything either.
are you kidding? Gandalf would WEAPONIZE his knowledge of Hobbit genealogy against outsiders
Since “pledge” kinships are multidimensional and can occur in different directions, hobbits can form - and formalise - family bonds simply because they choose to. Gandalf doesn’t tell anyone that the formation of Thorin’s Company, the Fellowship of the Ring, and Belladonna Took’s Accidental Troop of Mercenaries* are legal formations of pledge-siblings, a hobbit family structure usually claimed to increase social class and prestige (as high numbers of pledge-kin confer distinction on a hobbit, being a sort of popularity vote/endorsement that adds greatly to their social power. Incidentally, this is partly why Bilbo was both controversial and successful in his pledge-claim of Frodo; outsiders mistook his “bachelor” status as someone living outside of heteronormativity, while the Shire was bewildered and increasingly annoyed by his rejection of pledge and hearth commitments. By rights Bilbo had too few pledge-kin, and too little parenting experience, to claim rights to an orphan, especially one from Brandybuck hearth; but conversely, his social status was high enough that his belated bid for his very first pledge-son couldn’t reasonably be denied by anybody.)
In short, all of the hobbits enjoyed achieving even larger families on their adventures, legally and without argument or debate. It’s free real estate. If nobody else is going to sibling these losers, we will. (The condensation of so many entanglements at once also legally made Pippin his own father-in-law.)
Gandalf never explained.
* see the post about the Old Took’s “enchanted diamond cufflinks” that obeyed the wearer’s commands; which were probably, given the general state of things, two lost silmarils recovered by his Remarkable Daughters and gifted to him because things stay small and safe in the shire
@elodieunderglass wouldn't that make pippin both denethor's pledge-son-in-law, and (as pledge-brother to the king) probably outrank him?
Only through Boromir while Boromir was alive! Pippin’s familial claim through Boromir technically dissolved on Boromir’s death, as Denethor hadn’t been privy to it, and those bonds rarely stretch to a stranger when the person in the middle has died before introducing them; although Pippin, who was well-brought-up, perfectly and politely rectified the problem at once by simply swearing himself as Denethor’s pledge-son. but through his blood-cousinship to Frodo, who was older than Boromir, his status as the Took double-primarc (don’t ask) and the proximity-enhanced status-doubling effects of having a five-way cousin in Merry, Pippin was demonstrably higher status as a pledge-sibling and was also his own father-in-law and approved of himself. As such, he would have significantly raised Boromir’s social status and marital prospects in the Shire.
Inheritance follows parent-child pledge as the primary consideration, with matrilineal descent as the secondary. Pippin would have been bewildered to gradually understand that Denethor held his two sons in such odd and different standing :-/ hobbits don’t recognise kingship so it would’ve been very upsetting and disappointing to Pippin to understand how Denethor stood in position of sworn-father to a whole city of people without even being slightly fair to his younger hearth-son. Aragorn is demonstrably much better dad-material and therefore had Pippin’s vote. Pippin, by virtue of being an excellent father-in-law to a spectacularly promising young son-in-law, also considered himself a better candidate for king of Gondor than Denethor, by outranking him in Dad Competence - but was too busy by the time he realized this to point this out .
Ironically, the events in which Pippin realized this made Faramir his own hearth-son - so Pippin won in the end and took a great interest in ceremonially approving of Eowyn. Gandalf never explained
I will buy that for a dollar, yup.

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
Look through my notes app? Sure.
Look through my photos and social media? Why not.
Look through my saved folders on tiktok? Go ahead.
But what's in my liked posts on tumblr?
That's between me and THE LORD.
"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means
Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??
Fuck landlords
Do you think they're a quiet "what if" in the back of their minds?
Idk just a late night thought 😸
