The Constellations of northern Arda - an autumn sky above Thangorodrim

The constellations of Arda - a night sky made up of the constellations of Tolkien's Legendarium (and some added real ones (lyra, swan, dragon) that seemed to fit thematically) overlaid over an autumnal sky of our northern hemisphere. (somewhat expanded to get all of them in one view (e.g. do not @ me about orion or corona borealis ;) )

Also, for the Tolkien astronomy nerds(TM), Anarríma (which we don't have any information on besides the name) is probably meant to be an adaptation of pegasus. So the actual depiction is completely made up by me.

I ultimately landed on the idea of a giant spider (as the name translates to something like the edge/border of light/the sun) The spider not only fits well with the long limbs of the pegasus but Ungoliant's (and her descendants') stories do always play out in that edge of light and the sun, always desiring, craving and devouring it but also shying away from it. /rant over

Another Elbereth. With Valacirca (and ridiculous amount of glitter)

Day 7 - Star

I drew Varda Elentári, the Star-kindler, Queen of the Valar.

Then Varda... began a great labour.... She took the silver dews from the vats of Telperion, and therewith she made new stars and brighter.... And high in the north as a challenge to Melkor she set the crown of seven mighty stars to swing, Valacirca, the Sickle of the Valar and sign of doom.

Valacirca is the Quenya name for the constellation we know as the Big Dipper or Ursa Major.

If you get this, answer with which book you are currently reading and the next book you want to read on your tbr list.

Send this to three mutuals.

hiiii dear right now i'm crawling through a mistborn reread! and my next book is the third bridge kingdom novel which i intend to knock out the next time i'm allowed to spend all day on the couch

“The next time I see you naked, Moth, it’ll be on a bed, after I’ve taken you out for the most expensive date I can think of and you’ve barely let me touch you all night.” [...] “I’m going to ruin you,” he whispers to her. For the first time, she finds she’s not afraid to learn what that means.

I'm back here again, as one does, thinking about John's promise and how did their date go --or would. Not sure if you have future plans for Mothiverse, but I'd love to know a bit more about this 🌸🌸

hilal i literally love that you're still thinking about them because so am i.... this dude wants to work for her love So bad. like he's genuinely distressed by the thought that she's accepted a relationship with him just because he treats her like a person so he's determined to raise the bar.

that is to say, i'm not exactly sure how that translates into future chapters except as a general vibe, but god it's a good one

🥺 🎢 ⛔ 💌 ❌ 👀 🤩 ✅ 💥 🥰 >>> for the fanfic writer emoji ask

and pls excuse my curiosity

HEYYYYYY! your curiosity is inspiring.

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?

*protag being tough* *love interest seeing right through it* is like. mega weakness of mine tbh

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

probably exit row for the sexual tension but I do want to give the climax of to the flame an honorable mention here.

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

not scrapped exactly but I have one I'm holding in reserve - I thought about posting it for whumptober but it didn't quite feel right and I've been too busy to edit into something less self-indulgent and give it a little plot to fit with the exit row storyline.

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

i love comments and feedback. some people say they write for themselves but not me.. I write to be told that someone liked it :))

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

pregnancy.... especially like "ghost comes back home to his submissive pregnant wife" pregnancy. cheers if u like it but it does not fit with my cod fantasies

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

ok so. if you've seen ted lasso maybe you've seen rebecca saved from the canal by the hot dutch pilot. do you remember how Life in Color started? hot scottish black ops soldier takes protag to safe house to warm up? someone dumps a glass of water in the dryer to make sure the night doesn't end too soon??? tell me you're with me here

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

honestly ghost. he's so complex I feel like I have a lot of freedom in shaping his interactions with other people

✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?

apparently fever/illness whump??? easy trope for me to write I guess.

💥 How do you feel about criticism?

as long as it's not literal hate i'm fine with it! a lil crit goes a long way though.

🥰 How do you feel about reader interaction? Are you open to receiving questions about your fics?

YES. yes yes yes yes. i love reader interaction. please come talk to me
