It's a beautiful mask, but all masks fall in the end

I spent my early twenties STRUGGLING with undiagnosed ADHD (and depression, and probably autism) and it nearly destroyed my ability to be creative. A big part of rebuilding my ability to make things I loved was figuring out ways to work with my brain instead of against it, and that was where these notecards came from.

They help me develop my ideas in a way that I'll actually follow through on with a tactile, color coded system that is flexible enough to adapt to all sorts of projects. I have used them for novels, I have used them for fanfiction, I've even started using them to plan some nonfiction projects.

Galadriel cosplay details!

I am forever in awe of embroiderer Michele Carragher’s work, and to see her pieces in The Rings of Power was a delight! This embroidery is especially delicate, with most beads only 1mm in diameter, and it was definitely a challenge to recreate! Grateful to Michele for her notes on this, and of course thrilled at how beautifully @oliviarosephoto captured the details of this costume.

I know I already made posts about accounts reaching out on Ao3, making generic comments about your fics and then saying they want to make a comic out of your work. Turns out, when you do reach out to them, it's actually not a collaboration, or gift or whatever: they want you to pay them. It's always brand new profiles, with the same message template.

When you look up on instagram, there is either nothing or an account with many many pieces stolen from other artists/made with ai.

This profile over here is "flossie_the_arts" and there are no insta associated to them. The insta that does exist is "floessie the arts". I do not know if this is them or not, but there are artworks on there and the bio and captions match with what's on there.

The air is crisp, the leaves are golden, and somewhere in the Shire a hobbit is pulling a fresh pumpkin pie out of the oven (probably to “test it” before the feast). That can only mean one thing, our corner of Middle-earth is about to dive headfirst into Fall Festivities!🎃

I'm planning a week (or so, maybe 2) of fall-themed prompts, fic, and art fun across The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Rings of Power!! Think golden harvest vibes, cozy Shire kitchens, elves crunching dramatically through leaf piles, dwarves hoarding pumpkin spice like dragon gold, and men of Gondor finally admitting sweaters are superior to armor (at least for October).

🍁 What I've got cooking:

Fall Fest Week → prompts for fic, art, moodboards, memes—you name it! All the cozy, harvest, cider-mug-in-hand, wind-in-your-hair vibes.

Spooky Middle-earth → Halloween extras! From trick-or-treating hobbits to ghost stories in Minas Tirith, to Sauron pretending he invented costumes.

Community interaction: reblog games, silly polls, maybe even digital “festival booths” to hop between.

I don’t have set dates yet (it’s already September 19th, time flies faster than Shadowfax 🐎), but I'm aiming for a fun stretch in October that mixes cozy fall with spooky-season mischief. Hell, maybe we could stretch it into a November for a bit, before the Christmas period starts!

👉 This is an interest check to see who’d like to jump in! Writers, artists, gif-makers, playlist wizards, everyone is welcome to participate!!!

Bring your cloaks, your second breakfasts, and your best fall vibes, because Middle-earth looks especially magical in shades of gold and orange!!✨🍂
