I’m using some of your graphics for a fic binding project and wanted to ask how your prefer being attributed?

ohh that is so exciting, thank you!! 💖 I would be so excited to have my divider used in a binding project. If you want to add a little note like ‘dividers by saradika-graphics’ or however you want, that would be totally fine with me!

I was looking through various Paralympics for inspiration on including a disabled character in a high fantasy story I’m working on and came across disabled archery. Perfect for the story I’m working on!

However most of the resources I’ve found so far relate to disabled archers in modern sport competitions- how the competitions are scored, the requirements for aids in competition and so on. I’ve having trouble translating what I’ve learned about disabled archery in competition to fantasy.

The information I’m looking has to be out there I just haven’t found it. Do you have any resources or ideas? General thoughts on having a disabled archer are also greatly appreciated.

Thank you and I love this blog!

Hey!

It would be much easier for us to answer if we know what your character's disability is, and what's their body and limb function. If you could send us some additional info about it, we could help more.

Is the main issue visualizing how archery could work for your character specifically because of the setting? The sport hasn't changed that much across history (at least compared to other sports), I think that watching modern Paralympic archers wouldn't be that much different. There's also photos/videos of the first Paralympics-adjacent events like the Stoke Mandeville Games that took place in the 40s, and they used bows that would probably fit in fantasy much better than the modern ones.

For translating competition-para-archery to fighting-para-archery, I think you would be considering the same things as you would in regular archery.

I think that having a disabled archer is great! It's one of the oldest paralympic sports with a lot of history :) also I feel like most disabled characters who fight always have it "counter" their disability in some way, and I always thought that giving a disabled character a bow or a gun would be a much better option that makes a lot more sense as well.

If you have a more specific question, please send another ask. More information about your character's disability will be helpful as well.

Here’s the truth of the obscure blorbo off;

We’re all winners.

It’s called obscure- so if your favorite Tolkien blorbo lost in the first round (like me) then that just proves they’re obscure! The sooner they lose the more obscure! So- we’re all winners in the end.

A very cheering way of looking at it!

I don’t know why folks are sending in pet pics but you’re clearly having a rough time so-

hope you feel better!

omg thank you

Not to come out of the blue but. I saw these tags;

On the magic amulet post you reblogged and I was wondering if you would tell more about this fic? It sounds amazing.

yeah! it's one of the fics i'm working on for fandom trumps hate, and it's a fun little low fantasy god au where jon is a professor of theology at oxford who takes a sabbatical to scotland after his grandmother dies unexpectedly. he meets martin (a god) there, but he doesn't realize that martin's a god and martin doesn't realize that jon doesn't know that he's a god, and a comedy of errors (and romance) ensues. there's not many scenes that take place at oxford, but the idea of divine amulets just Showing Up places and being a Thing That Causes Problems fits well into the lore (and is also very funny) and i like to think that whoever has the office next to jon studies divine artefacts and has Had Enough.

As asked; 📓

Jongerrymartin time travel au. Shit happens, Gerry ends up not dead and the three of them fall in love. Otherwise, events happen pretty much as in canon. They time travel after the eyepocalypse. For this one, we're going they're brought back as they are, and their younger selves are still running around somewhere. And then they proceed to Cause Problems for Jonah/Elias pretty much. Who is so confused about all of them but Jon especially. Someone that powerful couldn't have appeared out of thin air! Naturally, JGM find this hilarious and go out of their way to be confusingly powerful in front of him, purely so he can be concerned about these people who appeared out of nowhere with this kind of power.

Ahem. So there’s this post I saw recently that went something along the lines of “there is no greater advertisement for a show then a tumblr mutual with a new hyperfixatation”.

meanwhile im microdosing on being a hobbit blog by having the bagginshield url even tho i never talk about it anymore
