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.

YES, HANDMAIDEN SPY THRILLER. A show/movie SPECIFICALLY FOR ME

Star Wars Holocron @swholocron.bsky.social · 18h

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?

In retrospect, there was a big sign that something was wrong at Khazad-dûm #Tolkien #art

"The first time, she thought she must have been mistaken. Imagining things. She was half delirious, collapsed onto the bottom of the raft, when she felt a presence lingering just outside the bounds of her mind."

Yeah, my real estate agents have been great, but the mortgage side has been terrible and the seller has been difficult.

Just unnecessarily stressful!

Why, when I say, "I don't understand anything you just said," do people think that means they should go into more technical detail, not less? (that is very grad school)

Why so many surprise emergency deadlines??? Why won't people just be decent, considerate human beings??

I'm in the process of trying to buy a condo, and it's bringing back the tension headaches I used to get all the time in grad school.
I had not missed them.

Fresh-from-the-oven ficlet for #Tolkientober Day 6: Seafarers
I thought, "Okay, this could be about Galadriel and Halbrand on the raft or it could be about Numenor," and then I thought, "fuck it, it's both."

Behind but catching up on Sticks of Power! #Tolkientober - Day #3 Crown with some trouble in not-quite paradise for Halbrand Sauron and Galadriel

Stick figure Halbrand Sauron saying “I alone can see your greatness” while stick figure Galadriel looks down from the raft onto the reflection of them wearing crowns. Her thought bubble reads “Then why is your crown bigger than mine?!”
