Ladies, gentlemen and all androgynous friends! I present to you the ridiculous glory that is Lalaloopsy Gríma!

This nonsense came to pass when a recent LoTR rewatch coincidentally intersected with the finding of little miss Pix E. Flutters the Lalaloopsy at the local thrift store; having wanted to make another Gríma doll for some time, I was taken by a vision too stupid not to put into immediate action.

Gríma was constructed with, for the most part, stash fabrics: cotton, lace, velvet, coppery-gold fabric I bought originally for the brestplate on a Vimes doll, some kind of upholstery suede, fabric paint, buttons, embroidery thread (extremely fucking expensive embroidery thread, in the case of the metallics), snaps, an array of broken chains and a salvaged buckle from a broken watch strap. I had to half-learn smocking and ruching for the yoke of his shift, and his mantle, respectively. May still return to the belt buckle to embellish it better with wire, to match his onscreen one. Technically, his hose are meant to be black, but as a nod to the Lalaloopsy inspiration, I painted his noodly little legs in black and white stripes. He took a little over two weeks to complete.

(I like to think she’s a positive influence on him)

people in lotr who i would punch in the face any day of the week:

note: again. am not an inherently violent person. i don’t regularly punch people. but here is a list of people who id thrown down with any day any time

feanor: selfish, narcissistic and a bratty kid that grew up into a bratty adult. was he a product of his bad upbringing? yeah, but he's still a prick. he's a very complex character but i'd still punch him. 9/10 for being the og "bad" guy

wormtounge: i mean if eowyn or gandalf doesn't get to him first. i have no qualms abt giving this guy a black eye. 11/10 and id love to run him over with a horse after

denethor: honestly the most punchable me out of any of them. i bet gondor would thank me for it, too. 14/10 watch me beat this senile man with his own cane.

saruman: saruman can send his crebains but nothing flies faster than these fists. again i am predisposed to punching wizards and this guy has got to be at the top of my hit list. 10/10 no one treats my babygirl gandalf that way

thranduil: i mean id immediately get sent to the dungeons but also i think someone would break me out. if not gimli, then legolas, bilbo, gandalf, or even elrond. 9/10 for punching, 19/10 for dumping a prized glass of red on his robes.

erestor: seems annoying, pretentious and stuck up. 9/10 come at me you little elf librarian twig

bill fearney: mistreating a pony that noble deserves a knuckle sandwich. 11/10, justice for bill the pony

Harry Potter x Lord of the Rings Parallels That No One Asked For (But I’m Giving You Anyway)

Alright, I know this is a bit of a detour from my usual Remus Lupin myth-busting agenda, but there are some uncanny similarities between Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Not just in story themes, but sometimes even in casting for the films.

Let’s begin:

Harry vs. Frodo — The chosen hero with a Dark Lord to defeat and a collection of cursed objects to destroy. Also, Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood used to get mistaken for each other all the time. Fair enough, really.

Ron vs. Sam — The faithful redheaded best friend who sticks around when things go absolutely to hell.

Dumbledore vs. Gandalf — The old and wise wizard who seems to know everything, dies falling from a high place, and may or may not return more majestic than before wearing white clothing. Fun fact: Sir Ian McKellen was almost Dumbledore. Imagine the multiverse chaos.

Remus Lupin vs. Faramir — The gentle warrior with low self-esteem and deep emotional intelligence. Both had love scenes filmed but cut from the final edit (truly a crime), both actors are called David (Thewlis and Wenham), and some people still mix them up.

Dobby vs. Gollum — The small, iconic CGI creature who somehow out-acted half of Hollywood and got an Oscar nomination for it.

Sirius vs. Boromir — The reckless and arrogant guy who is on the good side and dies halfway through the story purely to emotionally devastate the hero.

Pettigrew (Wormtail) vs. Wormtongue — The Dark Lord's minion with a name that literally starts with Worm.

Hagrid vs. Gimli — The loyal, bearded ally of unconventional height. Hair game: undefeated.

Tonks vs. Éowyn — The brave romantic woman who fights among men, gets her heart broken, and ends up marrying the kind-hearted warrior who suffers from chronic self-doubt.

Fred & George vs. Merry & Pippin — The chaotic duo who live for mischief, mayhem, and being each other’s emotional support menace.

Horcruxes (One of them being literally a ring) vs. The Ring — Cursed artefacts that corrupt their owners and must be destroyed. (Honestly, Sauron and Voldemort should’ve started a support group.)

Legolas vs. Lucius Malfoy — The two blond icons who could (and should) be in a shampoo advert together. (Sorry, couldn't resist 🤣)

You can’t convince me J.K. Rowling didn’t read Tolkien and say, “Yes, but what if...?”
