The Mallorn Trees of Lothlórien

"That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring and the new green opens do they fall, and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden, and golden is the roof, and its pillars are of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey." - Legolas, Lord of the Rings

When your boyfriend suggested a hike, you were quick to agree. Things hadn't been going well between the two of you, so you hoped this would be a chance to talk. Little did you know, your boyfriend had already made up his mind about dumping you, quite literally in the middle of nowhere.

You got a leg cramp and had to sit down for a while. The sun was setting, so he said he'd go to the top of the ridge and see how much farther there was to go. You had your suspicions but in the end, you trusted him, and what a mistake that was.

He's gone before you can even call his name. For a long time you sit there in shock, rubbing the tight muscles in your leg, trying not to panic. You have a map, but you hardly know how to use it. Hiking isn't your thing, and you can't remember the way back. You get to your feet and hobble up the ridge, hoping you'll be able to spot him, but he's already gone. Tears start to well in your eyes as rage swells in your chest. This is it. If you somehow make it back safely, you're going to end things with him. He's going to regret his actions, beg and tell you that he didn't mean it, that he didn't realize you'd fallen so far behind. He's done it before, just not on this scale.

He probably wants me dead. That dark thought seeps into your mind and you swipe the tears from your cheeks. You're not just going to sit here and accept your fate. You take a step forward.

SNAP.

You pause at the sound of a twig breaking. That wasn't you.

"H-hello?" You call out into the growing darkness, squinting as the sun fades and takes the last of the light with it.

You didn't think this hike would be so long and you didn't bring a source of light, and your phone somehow ended up with your boyfriend.

"Is someone out here?" You try again. "Hello–"

Something warm bumps against your hand and you scream and pedal backwards, falling on your ass.

"Sorry," a voice whispers in the dark. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"Oh my god, so I'm not the only one out here. Can you help me?" The adrenaline racing through you causes you to speak too quickly, without thinking.

What if this isn't a good person? What if they're out here looking for victims who are lost and alone? A chill comes over you, especially when you realize the person is in the dark, same as you.

"Are you lost?" They ask.

You listen to the way they speak. They have an odd accent and a lisp that makes their words end in a hiss.

"I..."

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Something touches your hand. Fingers entwine with yours and pull you up from the ground. Their fingers end in sharp curves. Claws?

"What–" you try to pull your hand away, but they hold on tight.

"Careful, you might fall," they murmur.

Something clunks and rattles.

"What's that?" You peep out, unsure whether to cling to them for safety, or run because they are the danger.

"My bones," they say softly.

You don't realize how scared you are until you take a breath and it turns into a sob.

"P-please don't hurt me," you say meekly. "I just want to go home. My boyfriend left me–"

"Shhh, I know, and I won't hurt you. Not you," the voice says.

You stumble along in the dark, fearfully clinging to their too-long fingers and sharp claws. The moon is little more than a sliver in the sky, and the most you can make out of the thing beside you is their freakishly tall form and antlers on their head that are strung with tiny bones like a wind chime. The bones rattle every time they turn their head to look at you. You snap your eyes away, your heart pounding in your chest.

You don't dare say anything else for the next five minutes. Suddenly your feet hit asphalt, and you stumble. They catch you, but you hear your shirt rip as their claws shear through. They readjust and grab your arm instead, apologizing.

"It's okay, I'm not hurt," you murmur.

A highway stretches before you, dipping towards the starry horizon. Insects buzz and the wind is a whispered howl in the trees.

"A car will come," the being says. "This land traps people. Please don't return."

"Are you trapped?" You ask.

They're silent for a while. "I'm used to it," they reply.

You hear the distant sound of an approaching car.

"Be safe," they say hastily. "I must go."

As headlights crest over the hill, you catch a glimpse of their lumbering form and pointed antlers as they slip back into the trees. You manage to hitch a ride and get home safely. You find your boyfriend huddled in a corner of the living room, looking like he's seen a ghost. His backpack is ripped to shreds, clawed in the same way that your shirt is, except he looks like he's had a much more violent experience.

He's shocked to see you're alive and barely protests when you kick him out of your house. He keeps asking what happened to your shirt, and if you saw it too. He tells you he's afraid it's going to come back and kill him and he's almost mad with fear. He runs off with his phone glued to his ear, and you have a feeling this is the last time you'll see him.

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

The idea of two people having sex and it creating another, smaller person who has a combination of their traits sounds like it was made up for fan fiction but alas I've heard tale that it's really happened

[ID: Stephen, a pale teenage boy with red hair, sits on a the top of a hill with a rural landscape. He speaks forcefully: “My race is mixed. My sex is mixed. I am woman and man, light with darkness. Mixed! Mixed. I am nothing special. Nothing, nothing pure. I am mud and flame!” END ID]

It’s Punk to love.

To stand together. To make your friends feel safe and valid even in the closet. To Protect each other.

We are the light. Time to act like it. Happy June.

I love you I love you I love you

apparently making fun of 9/11 is all I need to become popular on tumblr

[threshie]

Even better with these tags:

[ao3skin]

Pride flags Ao3 skins! :D

Happy pride month everyone!

Code, instructions on how to install them and previews HERE 

The specific flags are separated in various chapters, and there are quite a few more than those shown in this tumblr post! (I had to cut down the previews or the post would have been SO LONG). 

Of course I couldn’t make THEM ALL they are so many, and I had technical problems for flags with more than 6 colors and I still haven’t found a way to handle chevrons….

The ones I’ve made (you’ll find them all in the link above) are these: the Rainbow Flag, the Trans Flag, the NonBinary Flag, the Agender Flag, the Bigender Flag, the Genderfluid Flag, the Genderqueer Flag, the Greygender Flag, the Lesbian Flag, the Gay Man Flag, the Pansexual Flag, the Bisexual Flag, the Aromantic Flag, the Asexual Flag and the Polysexual Flag. 

The header, the menu and the footer all have flags in it. 

The buttons have flags when you hover them 

The tags are colored by type (relationships, characters and freeform) each having a different flag color!

Each flag was made to work decently well both on light mode and dark mode (reversi).

Have fun! 

here the link again. the skins are separated by chapters, different flag for different chapter.
