“…it is worth while from time to time to take a look backward, and to consider what those endured who went before us. To most of us our own life is almost the only struggle worth considering, and wrapped up in our personal affairs, we do not remember the stupendous difficulties faced by our forebears, who conquered this country and made possible its development, and the ease and luxury in which we to-day have a part.”

Excerpt from Beyond the Old Frontier ~ written by George Bird Grinnell [originally published – 1913]

Théoden Memes

Some of these are old as hell but I love Théoden and every "WHERE WAS GONDOR..." meme I've ever seen. Our fandom has the finest minds of any fandom and it's not even close.

I love Bernard Hill and hate to see the shit he's going thru because he said Amazon Rings of Power was a money grab. He's right, of course. A money grab and a vanity project for Bozo Bezos.

Love Bernard Hill, always.

Just so you know I'm still cackling intermittently at the idea of having written a tale of Beorn's forebears.

"We have a unique relationship with the Empire in Hammerfell. Since the treaty of Stros M'kai, it's been understood that we are part of the Empire, but not a subject."

--Bianki commenting on the position of Hammerfell in the Empire after the dual rebellion of the Crowns and Forebears forced Tiber Septim back to the negotiation table.

News: Double... no wait, TRIPLE Pentad Day!

News: Double… no wait, TRIPLE Pentad Day!

Preamble Above, News Below! If you’re in a TL;DR state of mind, feel free to skip down to the news below! As I mentioned last week, it’s May the Fifth — and while everyone knows May the Fourth is one of the biggest days of the pop culture year, as someone who’s entire life became dominated by the concept of the Pentad dating all the way back to — no joke — 1993? I’m pretty psyched about today…

Burzum - ForeBears

[balkanaffairsofficial]

St. Vasilij’s Day is a festival held in Macedonia, similar to the Kukeri festivals in Bulgaria. Although, St. Vasilij’s day in today’s modern times is taken with a different approach, the festival has its pre-Christian, Pagan roots. In ancient times, people created masks and costumes, to embody themselves as the soul within them, the ancestor. By nightfall, all costumes and masks are taken to be burned as a ritualistic ‘purification’.
