and everything in between

OH MY GOD AVELERA PLEASE WRITE THIS it’s such a good idea! Why did no one think of this before? Maybe it’s an attractive trait for the dwarves, like, apart from fighting and forging, being a maths genius makes all the dwarf girls/boys swoon? Instead of whispering sweet nothing’s into your beloved’s ear it’s like talk long division to me, baby

math!dwarves and ereborean engineering and dwarven science art and durin!tech and just… omg this fandom = the best fandom /joyful sobbing/ these headcanons are giving me so much life right now because seriously have you looked at the ereborean throne room and all those semi floating walkways they have? (though I don’t really get how there aren’t a hundred deaths a season due to people falling off, but then again they might just have magnetic boots heh) if anything that is some expert understanding of statics at least

Lets not forget Physics!Bofur using a wee sausage to DISMANTLE AGE OLD ELF FURNITURE. Off to draw magnetic boots and water clocks for these furry little nerds. Who wants to bet they have some form of hydroelectricity too?

Bofur’s a toymaker though, imagine the kind of toys he could make!

I just needed this post back in my blog

love the genre of discourse that’s like “the world used to be [thing it never was] but now society is [I’m over thirty]”

Speaking of medieval history, it's fun how the popular accounts are all "the peasantry disliked nobles, but typically loved the King and attributed any harmful decisions to bad advisors", and then the rare examples of surviving testimony from actual peasants are like "I hope the King literally explodes".

This is better than anything I’ve ever made.

Post that lives in my head rent free

Absolutely THRILLED that this post is making the rounds again.

turn on the sound

I also ☝️ think it's important to tell the difference between "the author's barely-disguised fetish" and "the audience member's unrealised kink that they're projecting onto the author because seeing a character tied up is making them feel funny in their Audience Member Parts"

T_T I wish bathroom-related disabilities weren’t still today the subject of so much baseless ableism and hatred.. When you learn that kind of shame, it can kill you. People think “it’s too embarrassing to be seen buying an enema, or to go to the ER and need a manual disimpaction. I’ll just wait this one out” and then the bowel perforates and that can kill you in no time at all. And a LOT of it is just because of the meaningless stigma surrounding something as universal and basic as.. peeing and pooping?? That’s insane! Most everyone does it! Get over yourself and stop perpetuating shame!! Knowing someone has to wear a diaper will not kill you, but the embarrassment that person feels might just kill them!!

writing your fave having sex with with their love interest is OUT writing your fave shamefully jerking off and coming pathetically fast at just the idea of fucking their love interest is IN

so basically the five people who wanted to uphold his exile were in the right

it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems

fun fact about character development by the way. you can make them develop worse.
