"average elf uses 3 brain cells a year" factoid actually statistical error. average elf uses 0 brain cells per year. Braincells Elrond, who lives in Imladris & uses 10,000 brain cells every day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Good news. There are only 20 days until Andor season two.

highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.

me: oh thomas cromwell, we're really in it now. every day i get emails.

the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: i was on committees with the duke of norfolk. and they beheaded me.

me: yep. good point.

me: cromwell. cromwell this post has got too big and famous and people are starting to misunderstand me on it.

the postcard of thomas cromwell i keep on my desk: oh no! you achieved too much fame and status? and now people are misrepresenting you? should we strip your lands and title? have you been beheaded?

me: YES ALRIGHT FINE

The Rings of Power, S2E8 - Doomed to Die

"Elrond has cured you: he has tended you for days, ever since you were brought in... Elrond is a master of healing, but the weapons of our enemy are deadly. To tell you the truth, I had very little hope; for I suspected that there was some fragment of the blade still closed in the wound. But it could not be found until last night. Then Elrond removed a splinter." [JRR Tolkien, The Fellowship Of The Ring: Book Two: Chapter I: Many Meetings]

And what if I manifested some healer!Elrond for s3, what then?!

💯 We've had one Healer Elrond in S2 yes, but what about second Healer Elrond??

(watch me do this every season btw.. even in S5! I'm a hoe for healer Elrond, we're literally in the same profession 😭)

[Fandom/Fanfiction Etiquette???? Some sort of Rant????]

... Aka welcome back to Bucky screaming-

Bestie, this is a bit long. You don’t have to read it. I won’t know. I won’t judge. But if you do read it, just know that FOR ONCE, this is not about LOTR/TROP Fandom. I know. Shocking. A rare moment in history. Mark your calendars.

So I was scrolling through the AO3 tag on here, right? Minding my own business, expecting the usual posts—some fic recs, memes, some hilarious tags, some people losing their minds over an update—and then BAM.

People are out here making review cards for fics and ranking authors like it’s Goodreads for fanfiction???????!!!!!!!!

And listen, call me a boomer, call me an ancient relic of the old internet, but... WHAT?

ELROND & GALADRIEL. The Rings of Power, S2.E1 - Elven Kings Under the Sky.

That ear with that chin and cheek bones??!?! God fucking damn he was born to play an elf!!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

All right, y’all. Instead of April Fools, tell me 3 things you are excited for this April! No joke. XD Here are mine!

1. Working on my novel this month as part of a novel-writing challenge with my writing discord server! ✏️ I am drafting a Neolithic-era love story… Let’s hope it’s not too rocky 😂 🤎

2. The new Trousdale album is coming out on April 11, and I will be seeing them in concert! So I’ve gotta memorize all their lyrics 💪

3. Easter celebrations with my fam! 🐣

Thanks for the tag @glorf1ndel !!

This April, I’m looking forward to:

1. I’m having a long weekend with my DnD group (who are also some of my closest friends) in two weeks; we will play DnD IRL (normally we are on discord because half of us live in the northern part of our state and the other half live in the south), but we will also go to the Renaissance Faire together and hang out at the beach and at my friend’s lovely new apartment. It’s been a rough start to the year for a lot of us, so we’re really looking forward to quality time together.

2. Concurrently with that long-weekend, my husband will be hosting some of his best friends our our house, and I love them all very much and am excited to see them. One of my best friends is dating one of his best friends, so our groups will meet up for some dinner and board games. The last time we all hung out together was in a large group at our wedding, and that was such a joyful time, so I’m really looking forward to being all together again, even if just for a little while.

3. Continuing to write my farawyn fanfic! Actually putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) has been so gratifying and uplifting. I’ve had so many thoughts about this fic for so long, and it has so much emotional significance to me; I’m thrilled that I’m actually ~doing the thing~. I also now have several other ideas for one shots and other fics to write. Making them real and sharing them has brought so much joy, and I can’t wait to keep going.

So yeah, that’s my April! Happy April, all.
