#nerd problems

the problems about being in the silm fandom…

nobody’s in the silm fandom.

…at least, people I’ve met in real life. There’s an amazing community here on tumblr with a good amount of (super talented!!) people in it, but so far I’ve barely met a single one in real life.

Which makes about sense, considering most people, especially considering that I’m in an academia environment with other young people that think of lotr more of an “old-timey,” “stuffy,” and “another one of those old classic boring books our teachers make us read,” and sure, yeah it’s sort of justified for them to think that, but it just makes me go ARRRGH YOU JAIL CROW OF MANDOS

I’ve met a fair amount of people who’ve at least watched the movies or read some of the og trilogy and the hobbit (yay!)…but haven’t read Tolkien’s other books, such as the silm (nay!).

…THE PROBLEM WITH THIS THOUGH is that I, being an avid Tolkien nerd, get beyond excited to hear them say “oh I’ve watched the movies and they were pretty good :)” and dump a butt ton of lore on them.

everyone probably thinks I named my OCs Apollo and Artemis in one of my recent SGA fics because of the recent moon mission but no, that's not it. actually it's just i'm a tremendous nerd and wanted to talk about Hyperborea.

I’m such a nerd, you said you’ll buy books for me and I heard I love you.

This happened when my mom and I were waiting for the bus after an appointment

*Really loud train horn blares a few blocks away* What my brain impulsively told me to say: SHUT UP ASTROTRAIN!!!
