So cool! Where is this place?

In Lewes, Delaware~ It’s called Preservation Forge. We’ve passed it before but it was always closed - maybe they only open it during the summer? I definitely recommend a visit if you’re going to be anywhere near Rehoboth/Ocean City, it’s really cool!

Last weekend we attended the Yule Ball as house elves of Middle-earth. I was Legolas, a free elf

Either black or silver, I can never decide

mythwine answered your post:“elured & elurin's hair color”:

A quick answer? Not really. Beren and Luthien are dark haired, Elrond and Elros are dark haired. Thingol isn't. For some reason I feel that Dior wasn't? Nimloth would be blond/silve/white. So...dark haired, but willing to entertain other ideas.

[The slightly darker shade of grey, like tarnished silver, for no real good reason.]

black, to mirror elrond and elros'

I've only drawn Dior and Nimloth once, but I gave them dark and light hair, respectively; I also gave Thingol silver hair the one time I drew him. Based on that and people's answers here, I don't think it's that much of a reach for them to have silver hair (though i admit that until today I headcanoned them as dark-haired!). So that's what they ended up with XD Thanks guys!

also mythwine thank you for decoding that ask for me :D

mythwine said: I’ve never done a shippy cosplay photo before. While it figures it would involve you, I am a bit surprised I was wearing an orc mask at the time :).

What are you talking about, Orc/Frodo is a perfectly common ship, nothing weird about it, happens all the time.

Shippy pictures are basically bound to happen if you stand near me when we're both in costume.

Nah, don’t let her fool you; she’s a vampire. ;)

Oh my gawd you can't just tell people that.

Although I have said before that I go to cons to feed on the energy of the meek and nerdy. So, take that as you will.

mythwine replied to your post: “looking up field schools to attend during the summer…trying to...”:

Awww, I hope you find a program that you both like and can physically tolerate! And Dingle in Western Ireland is such a neat place! Beautiful, of course :)

Yeah, me too. It's kind of hard to judge though...and then there's some stuff that sounds brilliant but would require me to camp at the site for five weeks straight and that is basically my personal version of hell so hahahahaha nope

But yeah I love the Dingle, and it would mesh really well with my medieval studies minor (....and the fact that i just took a semester of Irish history in Ireland and am now fairly familiar with its monastic ruins lol) so I'm actually considering it. But there's also some really really interesting stuff in the Balkans in both medieval and classical archaeology sooooo idk

I also have no idea whether my university will accept credits from any of the sponsoring institutions??

So I don't understand the fma trash tag, but I do love Fullmetal Alchemist!

it's more like an extension of my inner 'i am anime trash' even though i barely watch anime haha. fma = me being reduced to feels

mythwine replied to your post: Is there a different tracking number once it crosses the border or something? I remember the USPS telling me a package I'd mailed to Canada cleared customs....and then told me when it was delivered. No details in between. 

Ah yes.  The good ol' USPS tracking number, which is exactly as useful as Canada Post's.  It says here my package reached Canadian customs seven days ago.  Where is it now?  Vancouver?  Winnipeg?  Narnia?  It's a mystery!
