I was tagged by @fromaliminalspace to post six recent faceless photos ✨️

This was surprisingly easy - I don't take many photos unless I go on a trip, but I went on several trips last month 😄

Tagging @p4nicaker @rabidelainebenes @solarcola @janacariad @warthoong ✨️ (no pressure!)

One Masterpost to rule them all...

I have created... lots... of masterposts, and I keep forgetting what exactly I've posted and what's still hanging out somewhere in my notes app. And if I'm not sure what exactly is out there, I guess no one else does either.

So here's an overview of my masterposts across all blogs:

Tolkien:

Tolkien Stage Adaptations, Overview ✨️

Tolkien Stage Adaptations, Performance Calendar ✨️

The Lord of the Rings Musical (masterpost, merch, directory)

Silmarillion rock operas

Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar 2026 (2025) ✨️

Musicals / Theatre:

Tumblr's Top 50 Musicals 2025 (2022)

The Rock Opera Spreadsheet Collection™ (Finrod, Leithian, Last Trial) ✨️

list of performers' creative pages (Finrod, Leithian, Last Trial)

Dream on Red Mountain archive

Emerald on social media

I do my best to keep them up to date. If you notice missing or inaccurate information, please let me know. Those marked with ✨️ are the ones I'm proudest of!

Two kids cried when I gave them back their exams 🫠 their grades weren't even bad, just a little worse than usual. Still, they were devastated. I'm feeling guilty even though I know it's not my fault, that I tried to make the best out of their work. How does one cope. They cried. In my class. Help.

Okay, I've started writing my Válka hněvu review. The introduction is done. I've got to finish it - don't let me get away with NOT doing it. Be annoying if you don't perceive any progress. I'm counting on you

My former supervisor was telling me that he was going to watch a film with his English class before the holidays - one that features the Miners' Strike. Guess which film I thought of first, and which one he was actually referring to.

OH I just realised that I discovered my love for musicals around 10 years ago - in June 2015! Happy 10th Musicalversary to me!

Timestamps don't show up reliably anymore and I find that extremely distressing. Knowing when it was posted can change the entire meaning of a post. Context matters

See you in August!
