I wonder if Athena was like a loving auntie to Melanippos* since he's the son of Triteia, the sister of Pallas and he probably has that one feature in Pallas that she misses so much~ Gah, it's so cute! Plus maybe Athena, Ares, and Triteia co-parented him...

"Pausanias, Description of Greece 7. 22. 8 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) : "Ares mated with Triteia the daughter of Triton, that this maiden was priestess to Athena, and that Melanippos (Melanippus), the son of Ares and Triteia, founded the city [of Triteia in Akhaia] when he grew up, naming it after his mother . . . The people here are accustomed to sacrifice both to Ares and to Triteia (in Athena's Temple).""

Sounds like his plan worked then :/

at least my mom recognizes that he doesn’t pull his weight when it comes to helping her out like that lmao

You might like to do a tumblr tag search for "bikers of middle earth" While I started with illustrating the dwarves from the hobbit I went on to do all of the mentioned third age female characters (plus luthien) on various motorbikes :3

Oooh, thank you for the hint, that’s an awesome undertaking! :D You also submitted an Arwen on a Bonneville Triumph a while ago, and she actually is in the queue for next Saturday - but I foresee many more biker women riding across our blog in 2017!

Any chance of a celebratory/anniversary look back at favourite ffics from the past year (incase I (and others) have missed something I really shouldn't have)

oooh that’s a nice idea! though it would probably be for the best if someone else did it as i don’t read as much fic as i really wish i did lmao the few fics i have kept up with this year/past years are relatively well known with the fandom since i don’t go and actively look for fic...

melanippos replied to your post “What do you think about the trope fem!Bilbo?”

I would like to say I am happy to read six colours of stuffing out of any fem!bilbo and or fem!thorin you feel free to share with the world.

oh gosh thank you!! (i hope this was directed at me since i mentioned writing fem!bilbo and/or fem!thorin in my tags on this post and it showed up in my notifications but sometimes replies can get muddled w this new system lmao) 

when i finally ever finish my other projects i’ll probably try to revisit them at some point!!

melanippos replied to your post:i forgot how much i love olympic gymnastics holy...

How about Thorin on the rings as Erebors lead gymnast - Fili and Kili as a paired team and Bilbo defying gravity with his flips on the mat. “How the hell can anyone that short and with feet that big get so many flips with that finesse and so high in the air?!”~Thorin. Also cue lots of twinkling sweat and slow motion moments.

...........i’m sold

Now reading that it does look vaguely creepy - it was meant to be more like a childrens reading primer...

What a shitty thing. >,< But you have a really good thing to look forward to, which is Wow This Scene Reads So Much Better Now And It Really Fits And Completes This Part Of The Story! :D

YEAH IT SUCKS but I think in the end it worked out for the best...it was better to revisit the scene now that i have more of the story to work with and yeah!! it definitely fits a little better i think!
