also it’s incredibly presumptuous to assume you're not venting or crying on shoulders a little more compassionate than theirs. But anyway.

a bit put off by family members who go "you’re not grieving/struggling the right way" and then decide you must be unfeeling just because you’re not publicly falling apart in a puddle of tears. Pretty hypocritical too, since they'll tell you to "cope" the moment you actually do show you’re struggling

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Now that I have been granted some time to draw, I have been able to update the design of Irmo! It is quite the upgrate of what it used to be, and I'm excited to see how much my art has evolved ^^

“Dancing,” the full piece. Three generations of elven women dancing away their cares, unburdened by dark lords and their wars in a brief moment of peace as they spin.

The last of the pieces I did for our fundraiser. Like the others, it’ll be in my ko-fi shop when it opens, with a percentage going+

bluesky operates like twitter did when i was in highschool and i LOVE it, but it’s also so strange to only see content from people i follow in the exact chronological order it was posted?? like, what a reprieve honestly?? welcome back 2014-2015

tolkien was a person, like any other. and assigning him to one "side" of the political spectrum or the other will never get to the heart of why fascists are drawn to his work.

it's not co-opting when the framework is there. put your attachment to middle-earth aside and fight fascism in all forms.

First of all: southern Italian red wine IS *the* red wine

Fingon + Finrod to me

the character is a ray of sunshine - are they really??

good news: we’ve learned a new word hurrraaaay

it's me vs the terrifying ordeal of "this word doesn't actually mean what I thought it did" uh

yeah not my monkeys but just saying this circus is poorly managed and I'd rather stay away. Thank you

It’s also very fucking annoying given that I literally drag myself out of bed anyway. Yeah I’m slow but it’s still better than doing nothing at all, and for me that’s *real* progress. It’s about those little unnoticeable steps. But still. I mean. Fuck off? We're good.

i don’t believe in lore dick measuring contests or excluding people who are getting into tolkien and learning but you do run into some amount of “i haven’t read the book but you have to take what i think about it seriously otherwise you’re mean” around adaptation fan spaces which is like. well, no!

I know it must be hard for some people to understand but I never chose to feel this overbearing anxiety that keeps me staring at the ceiling and threatens to choke me. No, I didn’t "choose" to do nothing. Yes, I’m doing everything I can to fight back. this is my best sorry not sorry

oh my I *need* more of this
