My personal letter to @senangusking.bsky.social . I urge others who feel similarly to also write, call, and tag to let his office know where you stand.

I would prefer socials to be more of a haven from politics, but silence is also complicity.

Didn't realize I had fallen behind on All Creatures... trying to remedy along with other things...am rewarded with Wolfie cameo!

Yes. I have issues. But probably not the first thing a therapist would attempt to correct. At least this one's fuzzy? And only sometimes bites?

Work Read
Hephaestion spends 500 years planning to rescue Alexander from hell. To get to the horrors beyond the gates he must navigate purgatory's cities- crafted by souls across timelines and civilizations carrying all the vices persons and society holds without the ultimatum if death.

day 31 of #tolkientober "Destruction" Maglor moments after tossing in the last symbol of the oath that led to crumbling and severing of so many things. A history and an act that would also wither him as well.

Day 30 of #tolkientober Werewolves
Ani: "Come ON Nanu! You gotta at least -growl at me-! Huan wouldn't play with Carcharoth!"
In which Lira -really- wants to pretend to be Luthien and her sibs can't say no. El's (Beleg) helping Baur (Mablung) dress up

day 29 #tolkientober "cultivate" - to further by labor, care, or study + to encourage

Cirdan built networks, taught pupils, and created fleets. Would have loved to see him when Elrond was under his wing

#tollkientober day 28: Perseverance #sketch layout

If curious,one of the biggest reasons I'm enamored with #Bronwyn is in what we know of her she continues despite circumstances.

Let's just say when she meets #Arondir 's father in #saplingnote au, it does not go well.

Did you really think I'd get through #tolkientober w/o stealing @mgcoco.bsky.social 's #Arwen? Day 27 Libraries

headcanon: Arwen liked it Elrond asked #Erestor to mind her. He trusted her in his private library -NOT bros- and told great stories! He wasn't a stuffy curmudgeon!

Day 24 of #tolkientober "Monuments" - #uinen statuary being one of #earien 's art studies.

Didn't have access to show-canon sculpture when I had time to do that part. 😥

#tolkientober is the 'birthday' of my beloved Ashfield.How could I not use the "horses" prompt to bring him back? With him is an attempt at a fixture of my #saplingnote /Seams Vaelah- one of Bronwyn's students whom she protected when they were briefly captive when migrating

day 22 of #tolkientober "Spirit"(ed) - personal energy/drive and...well...
#Beleg and #Huan on or just bonding before the Night of the hunt... because I luff my boys.

day 21 #tolkientober - A connection with deep #roots
October 22, 2025 at 12:57 AM
truly stretching the 'loneliness' prompt. Entirely self indulgent and a nod to @lomionart.bsky.social for always being so kind...and hopefully forgiving for me stealing their #maeglin for an unsolicited #saplingnote crossover.

This is about a week's worth of words for El

Reading this is an amazing + bizarre experience. During I'm completely invested in characters + moment.Yet finishing the past 2 felt like not a lot and EVERYTHING happened. Aka true to real war+politics. It makes it hard to review and rec ...while wanting everyone to join in. #booksky
