Heavy is the Head (I did not know the way)
Ch 2/3(?); E; ~11k, a haladriel fic
Summary: Beleaguered PM Galadriel Noldor has to venture to the diviest of dive bars to find Halbrand, the Future King of Genovia (or--The gender swapped Princess Diaries AU)
Link: archiveofourown.org/works/632391...

Fic Cover for the fic, Heavy is the Head (I did not know the way) by mirageofmae, a haladriel fic. The picture is a collage of several images. First, a renaissance painting of a crown being placed by many hands on an unseen head. Below that, a dive bar with terrible lighting and beat up floors and vinyl covered seats. Next to that are spaces featuring out heroes, a stunning Galadriel in a black halter dress looking imperious and regal and also a seriously sexy Halbrand in a black sleeveless shirt, with short cropped hair and a trim beard, looking at the viewer with a sultry expression.

We’ve got little bunnies like that where I live and they’re pretty common in some places. My sister points out that they randomly disappear at times mid bounce. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I keep seeing AI models used for fashion and hair modeling and it’s like, if you’re trying to advertise your products to me and you couldn’t even feature a human being using those products.. why would I buy that product or trust that it’s any good?!!!! Just pay people for their labor, omg.

Like, I just need us all to agree on shared reality at its base. If you manipulate a photo, that should be disclosed or understood by context. The rampant use of AI in many many contexts is just going to fuck up our sense of reality !!! (Not to mention all the other harms)

Recognition as a bargaining chip is just vile! End support of this man made famine now AND recognize the humanity and sovereignty of the Palestinian people! We can actually do both. :/ why is this so hard.

The dismay I had when I learned I’d been fooled. My sis sent it to me. :/ I would love to see more required disclosure of AI!!! I need reality to be a thing we actually guard and hold safe. :/

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Sometimes I think people do need more separation of fiction from fantasy. RPF can be fun because it’s a bit taboo and fun to imagine your own story. But I wish folks would remember that RPF is as fictional as any ship!!! Also-bring back the 4th wall, please!!! I beg. 🙏

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

I recently looked at some photos of my niece when she was brand new!!! I remember that day like it was yesterday, all the little tugs on my heart to see her and hold her and squish her. And now she’s 17 and a whole cool person!!! It’s wild!!!!
