Is that even possible 🤯

MGCoco | Tolkientober 🎨 @mgcoco.bsky.social · 9h

I sound like a girl defending her mediocre boyfriend BUT it’s an otome game so he was very sweet otherwise!

Spoilers?? /////

Also you learn during the story that he’s actually a prince from another country, he just really wanted to finish his research before the deadline to go home

I once played an otome game where the guy I picked to romance turned out to be like a grad student who spent all day in lab, had a tiny apartment with no furniture, and didn’t have time to cook so he just ate frozen pasta all the time. 😭

„The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame.“
I’m doing a TRoP villains series on Instagram mainly with the #inktober prompts. ☺️

She is wearing a green dress with a blue belt, a redish coat over, and a cape shaped like moth wings with fur on top. Her braid is held with bronze pins shaped like moths as well as pale ribbons.

Ósanwë: The door is shut. She has slammed it, latched the lock, dropped the key into the depths. But, now and again, drifting in the outer corners of her awareness, the light slipping through the cracks distorts, shadow moving on the other side. She reaches out a hand, draws it back.
