Decided to pin some of my Haladriel fics seeing as that's my main fandom activity at the moment - apologies for the spam!
This won't be all of them - there are some that I often struggle to love (even though I wrote them 😂)

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

If I received this response to something I'd written, I would do some reflection and take the L.
But then again, I'm a normal person.

Started a thread to try explain another huge reason I've been so down about my writing lately, but deleted it because... I don't think the people who I would want to understand will understand and it will cause me more trouble than it's worth.
Tl;dr vague post: think about your impact on others.

Every now and again people tell me what's being said elsewhere about TROP and it will never not infuriate me that people will happily make up any old random shit based on literally three sentences Tolkien wrote, yet "what else could Galadriel have been up to?" is apparently a step too far 🙄

I saw a screenshot of something complaining that Americans get two huge feast days in a month and how "this would never happen in Europe" and had to lol at the very accurate response from many Europeans that was essentially: mate, the entirety of December is "let's discuss this in January" for us!

Sometimes I start to feel a bit “I think you guys think about other people’s headcanons that you supposedly don’t like too much.”

Another thing I really liked about Wake Up Dead Man was Blanc and Rev. Jud are coming from totally opposite viewpoints on the question of faith, but even though there was a bit of banter it felt like they respected the other's position?

Josh O’Connor and Glen Close basically do The Most.
Daniel Craig, as usual, clearly having much more fun than he ever did as Bond.

A controversial opinion in the UK: having a standard emails job then sitting in a house you bought for a song and watching it rise exponentially in value due to political choices that have nothing to do with you is not it fact “working very hard to get what you have”

I feel so dumb for how I got a couple of weeks ago because I thought that basically very little kudos (compared to others) meant I’d written a bad fic. Someone has left long thoughtful comments on every chapter over the last few days and I don’t know how to process what it’s made me feel.

I remember a girl at university making snide comments about the fact I thought David Tennant is hot.
Well, she was actually an awful friend and 20 years later, David continues to demonstrate she just didn’t understand my good taste. Great human.

"In recent history, the Doctor Who actor has repeatedly made headlines thanks to his allyship towards trans and gender non-conforming people – most notably with a subtle gesture during a TV interview that wound up helping to raise £18,000 for the LGBTQ+ youth charity AKT."

Govt spokesperson at the end is a ghoul because we all know what this means…
“…under our proposed new settlement model, individuals will have the opportunity to reduce the qualifying period to settlement and citizenship based on contributions to the UK economy and society.”

They won't be the only one. This government's cruel and inhumane anti-immigration policies are already cause widespread fear, even before they are implemented. Labour needs to change course on this right now before more harm is caused.

Planning post-S2 fic and I just can’t make Sauron’s hair black even though it looks (from distant blurry photos) like that’s true. My heart belongs to coppery haired warlord Sauron so that’s what you’re getting in my fics until S3 promo hits and contradicts me!

The thing about this is, I’m an above average earner now after years of struggling.
I’d rather you make billionaires and corporations pay their fair fucking share, and I don’t give a shit if someone on benefits gets fractionally more money. I think everyone should be housed, warm and fed.
