☕️ + insane fad drinks & what fad drink would elves go crazy for?

😭😭😭 i don't know what insane fad drinks are why can't we all just drink water which is so good and yummy.

(that said, the only thought i have ever had about any sort of fad drinks is that finrod felagund is definitely one of those hipster vitamin water drinkers and swears by it for hangover cures. is vitamin water even a fad drink? idk it is now. to me.)

"born as a child" is a very helpful phrase. Thank you for mentioning it.

I’m glad it resonated with you!

I think I heard it somewhere else first- I wish I knew where. It’s a great way of thinking about this stuff imo

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? (lol) What song have you been playing on loop lately?

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

Action (esp. high octane action) because I always feel like that one post about how you're writing the instructions for the boogie woogie / macarena (I think????). I can never find what feels like the best balance between describing high octane action and interiority that makes the action hit harder.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? (lol) What song have you been playing on loop lately?

Always, yes. Of late, I have been listening to this particular section of my TRSB playlist on loop:

@letmefixthatforyou replied to your post “i feel like everyone should know that i forgot to...”:

"if N 'pigeons' are placed into M 'pigeonholes' where N is greater than M, then one pigeonhole must contain two or more pigeons"

​the problem with all math statements like this is that they all functionally sound like "if one million people visualise world peace, then we will have world peace" to me. how do we know n is greater than m. how do i know if my n is greater than m. these are existential questions that i, a humble maths flunkee (failed it once in ninth grade, haven't studied it since i was 15 thanks to the beautiful qualities of the indian educational system), cannot answer.

fic questions

11 &/or 20

11. What scene are you most hyped for this chapter/fic?

IN THE OTHER PART OF THIS FIC, the scene i am MOST excited to get to is right at the end of part II. It has mood music (the finale of swan lake) and importantly, it is my favourite literary gambit: the play within a play (in this case the play within the piece of fiction). It is also very much the Hamlet version of this i.e. using a play to stir the conscience of a murderer. In this particular case -- an in-universe imagining of the Noldolante, staged by Maglor at the end of a series of events which have led to the "exposure" of a pair of murders attributable to the family. It's meant to remind them about what their fortune is built on (death! actual murder! corruption! colonial plunder!) and then it devolves into an operatic/theatrical final act of a tragedy in which there is a terrible showdown and the entire family falls apart and someone nearly dies in a car crash.

20. Share 3 images that would fit to a mood board for this chapter/fic.

Since this is three parts, one image for each part:
