Would you perhaps sketch Andreth?

Certainly! Here's an Andreth for you, my friend!

(guess how much i regretted my choice of making her braid her hair... hands, arms, and hair are all shockingly hard to get right, and tbh i didn't get them right, i just decided i was done when i got fed up with messing with them...)

Request a sketch from me

I think you should seed it popular against popular at the start.... I don't want to see my beloved Erutáro decimated by bofur in this first round 😭😭😭

Clearly a very neutral and unbiased answer ;) but I’m inclined to agree, thank you!

i don't know whether it was a fever dream, but i seem to remember a clip of lots of finrod-zong saurons singing a song and also finrod?2 finrods? were there? again i don't know if this was just a dream, but if it wasn't I was wondering if you had a link to it?

Sounds like this one:

I hope it's the one you're looking for! If there's another one, I haven't found it yet 😄

This might sound silly, but is there any kind of list of instruments ivy alexandria plays? I'm watching OUATIS live, and in No Happy Ending it sounds to me like she plays a reed instrument, but I'm very rusty on my aural skills lmao. It doesn't have the tone of recorder or whistle that size, & based on what I see of her fingers it's 2 handed so probably not brass? Either way my brain goes 💗💗😍😍😍 as a woodwind/brass player that's learning a reed instrument

(2/2) I can see a glimmer of silver on it but my recorder that size also has those silver bits that help you reach the holes so I'm not making a diagnosis based on that, & I can't see the proper shape of it. ALSO if ppl know brass instruments that are played with two hands or weird woodwind instruments lemme know I LOVE knowing about that nonsense!!!

i don’t play any woodwind or brass instruments and i’m not too much of a music person in general (only know the basics from a couple guitar and electric organ lessons) so can’t help you just by listening, but on the crew page, ivy’s instruments are listed as ‘flute, recorder, euphonium, trumpet´.

Hey, could you recommend me any (not too challenging) things to read about supply chains? Specifically about medications? :)

Oh hmm i can throw you some links to readings relevant to supply chains, but most of what I’ve read recently I probably wouldn’t recommend lol, unless you want to read about resource extraction specifically

For things not on that list and which arent too hard, I think Moby-Duck by donovan hahn is a neat look at economic geography through the case study of rubber ducks. There’s also the Containers podcast, which is pretty introductory and easy to follow, if you like podcasts?

I wish I had medical supply chain recs bc it’s something that interests and concerns me quite a lot, but all I’ve seen when looking for books are collections of academic articles or industry&business publications. I might still try to get my hands on those but they’d tend toward the difficult side of reading. I’ll post about it if I end up reading any of that stuff tho

if I find better medical recs or if anyone knows of any, pls add on!

16 & 18 for the musical asks!

16. favourite musical that’s underrated

I almost said Standing at the Sky's Edge, but it won the Olivier for Best New Musical xD not exactly underrated. It IS underrated by the general musical fandom, though. A truly underrated musical is Finding Neverland. It's so beautiful and emotional.

18. favourite musical you never talk/blog about

Legally Blonde! I had so much fun watching the pro-shot.

Thank youuu ✨️

For the books ask game, 4 & 9?

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

hm not sure if there's one above all but I would like to read more from Robin Wall Kimmerer and James Baldwin and Robert MacFarlane, for sure

9. Did you get into any new genres?

I read more historical/classic books than I ever have, I guess? and a couple biographies or books of personal essays which I don't usually read. otherwise most of the books were science, foreign policy, spy novels, a little fantasy/sci fi which aren't new

(for these asks)

Orchid & jasmine for the ask game!

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

answered before but here's more: the blue by jason isbell; walkin' (waylon jennings version); escape by seeming; the pearl by emmylou harris; the last two songs from Последнее Испытание

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

maybe some things I read so long ago that I don't think I could ever be interested in them the same way? I mean, I don't see myself ever rereading the book Fast Food Nation, though I was really, deeply, unfortunately obsessed with it when I was 12
