😭 I love everything about the way you write and depict this idea. The sadness and the grief and the loneliness of it... like listening to dead air on the phone

I think it's funny that some people are long-sleeves-short-pants people, and some people are short-sleeves-long-pants people, and you and I are so clearly on opposite sides of that divide

Ficlet for #Tolkientober Day 9: Fall
"At the edge of a cliff, Galadriel stood alone."
Writing was a struggle today, but I did it, so that's still a win.

Alpha Flight’s Vindicator surrounded by a jagged yellow aura. From her left hand extends a yellow circle. She’s clearly about to fire at something as she says, “I’m NOT in a very good mood!“

A bit over 500 words for #Tolkientober Day 8: Rings
"'One is for you,' Celebrimbor said. But she knew already."
Perhaps I ship Galadriel/Nenya.

In one week, we’ve had both Keira Knightley and Rose Byrne voice their interest in returning to Star Wars. Padmé’s handmaidens have featured heavily in the Darth Vader comic, but it would certainly be cool to see more from these characters. An espionage, resistance series maybe?
