The Fëanorian family back in the peaceful days of Valinor

(As peaceful as a house of seven children can be, at least)

It pisses me off when people only count people killed outside of camps for ice kill counts. No ice hasn't just killed 4 people this year. People have been dying in camps and no one's said anything about it. They should count too. We should remember them too. They're victims just like everyone else.

I just learned that a lot of vintage perfumes and fragrances were intentionally created to blend well with the ever-present smell of cigarettes, and in specific a lot of iconic ones that are super musky and floral and civet-heavy were intended to compliment the smell of fur coats or even "refresh" that new fur coat smell, which is one of the reasons (besides just shifting preferences and trends) that a lot of them smell really, really bad to modern noses.

I bet there's some stunning genius diva out there right now who meticulously coordinates her Victoria's Secret body mists with her vape flavors.

a while ago, partner & i went stick hunting for various projects and found a somewhat dragonish pine branch -> Stick Dragon Time!

all bark, sticks and lichen are natural materials, mostly unaltered except for some light drybrushing. the head and legs are 3d printed, and painted to match the wood. the whole noodle is about 1,5 meters long, and will reside on the living room wall. making this was the most fun i've had with a project in some time; there is a healing power to sitting on the bathroom floor for hours glueing scraps of wood together.

i did occasionally fake things like inviaible friends and hating vegetables because i thought they were, like, obligatory parts of childhood, but not because I ever thought i was doing it wrong.

Has a baleen whale ever been kept in captivity for any length of time? If so was it successfully released or did it die?

there have been several instances of young baleen whales running afoul of something and being captured for rehabilitation, yes! they were mostly gray whales.

which makes sense, gray whales are slow enough to get caught in the first place and hardy enough to not immediately stress themselves to death over being poked and put in a tank (as long as hundreds of pounds of delicious shellfish are on offer, anyway)

none of them were ever kept very long, they were rehabilitated to a healthy weight and then released. (healthy weight for a juvenile gray whale is almost 20,000 lbs. BIG baby)

hey, it’s severe myalgic encephalomyelitis awareness day. i’m hopeful that things will change. i’m hopeful that people will learn about us.

infographic credit; see more here

please hold us in your heart. ME itself is not rare (it’s over 5x more common than MS), but it’s really rare to find someone who actually knows what severe ME is! ME has been misrepresented as a vague fatigue syndrome. it is not. it’s a complex multisystem illness with a predictable pattern of neuroimmune crashes that come 24-72 hrs after physical or sensory exertion. it can become progressive and fatal. millions of people with severe ME are isolated and neglected by doctors whose knowledge of ME is based on outdated research.

it seems as though long covid can sometimes progress into ME, so cases are increasing, but many of us have had it for decades already. it crushed my life when i was a kid. but i’m still hopeful.

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I make fingon just a smidge older than maglor because I think maglor wouldn't care if he was a bit older but fingon? Fingon would be so friend-who-is-a-year-older about it. Fingon would say "when I was your age" and then start describing what he did last week. He would shoo maglor and finrod away on account of "the adults are talking" whenever he and maedhros were hanging out. He would call maglor his baby cousin and talk about how he held him when he was born (i.e. he sat in maedhros's lap and maedhros helped him "hold" the new baby)

#Tolkien #...yes #Even better with my assumption that maedhros is much closer to fingolfin's age than fingon&maglor

Snippet Saturday

So this has been sitting in the mental wip folder for ages. Thank you to @mdaaaang for the tagging game :) Pro tip! Anyone can make up a song. You just hum notes until something sticks and then it's a rhyming game of whatever topic you choose. But Watch Out! It's just as prone to perfectionism as the arts you're actually practiced in. I'll continue to fiddle with it whenever I'm bored.

Based off the line in Ch. 9 of Anastasis by @chthonion where Finrod sings, “A Silly, bouncing tune, a walking-song, as Bilbo would say: a pleasant rhythm, full of alliteration and nonsense. The story is about a bird flying through Aman and looking for a place to nest, but it is mostly an excuse to make sly observations about the various corners of Tirion:” I used “Old witch, Old witch” by Burl Ives as inspiration for what I wanted it to sound like.

A bird flew down to Tirion to find a place to nest. Searching many places, she wants the very best. Looking high and looking low, but didn’t think to ask. In a land blessed by the Valar, it should be no hard task. First found is a metal smith, its rafters dry and warm. But clanging from the anvil is louder than a horn. And in the morn’ to her surprise, smoke fills up the air. It’s clear to her she must now leave and find a place more fair. Tucked between tall buildings is a comfy ledge to roost. But twisting turning streets make her dizzy and confused. Round and round she looks all day, but still can't find her perch. It's time to find another place this one can't get much worse (<- seems redundant. Ideally revise) Lastly is a music hall filled with pleasant song. "Surely," says the bird, "This place and me will get along." But pounding drums and mournful harps drown out her cheerful tune (...) under trees and 'neath the moon. (...) This one thing she knows: Elves will bring 'bout no matter where they go.

re your summary of Cotillion:

"CLASSIC fake dating, ft. a truly unforgettable and ridiculous cast of characters, convoluted schemes, hilarious mishaps, a poorly attempted elopement and maybe the only sexy Heyer dad to be set on page."

Sorry but ONLY sexy Heyer dad? Which you wrote with your full chest in reply to an ask mentioning These Old Shades?? When Satanas himself becomes a dad in the sequel???

Would I rather have Lord Legerwood as a father than the Duke of Avon? Of course. But one simply cannot deny the sexiness of the domineering silver fox of a duke as he appears in Devil's Cub. Reconsider, please!

dbnkfghjndfghdfgmhdn okay I have to be honest my only excuse is that I simply do not register Justin Alistair, Duke of Avon also sometimes known as Satanas, as a father. I read through Devil's Cub again recently and while Avon is as appealing as ever, he doesn't register as a father in the same way that Lord Legerwood does. The relationship is altogether different - more impersonal disciplinarian, patriarch and subordinate, than father-son. Like, he's just doing Justin Alistair Duke of Avon behaviours but now he has a son and there's no sense that a shift has taken place towards the parental, because the way both Rupert and Fanny defer to him in These Old Shades has already told us what he's like as a disciplinarian, given they how they react to him as subordinates (often displaying quite a bit of fear) rather than as siblings (compared to other Heyer families). So there's no real distinction and no sense of Avon as father per se, because Avon has always been the patriarchal lord of the manor of the Alistair clan.

But Lord Legerwood is presented very distinctly as Freddie's father. That's all we know about him. He appears on page mostly to either offer good advice or to be baffled by his own son. It's much more clearly the relationship between a man and his heir, a father and his son approaching him for advice etc. The sexiness lies specifically in his semi-ironic approach to his offspring, who is clearly not as smart as him, coupled with his fatherliness - he offers advice when applied to, clearly has taken the place of confidant, which means Freddie trusts him rather than fears him. Its that disjuncture between like, clearly a Heyer father who has managed to be decent as a father, versus his own private and clearly quite scathing opinion of his son's relative lack of intelligence. And sadly, Avon does not really navigate that tension for me as a father! Avon is just sexy as Avon, but Lord Legerwood is sexy as a dad specifically.

#This is 100% correct #Avon is a Romantic Lead Emeritus and it shows #But i would fucking love to get drinks with Legerwood and listen to the latest and greatest Freddie Bafflement #'Just listen to what The Boy thinks he's gotten away with THIS week--'#Meanwhile i would only get drinks with Avon to poison him and woo away his wife #She'd kill be for it of course but. Y'know.
