what is bitch eating crackers-ing?

​it is a reference to (originally, according to know your meme) this tweet from 2011:

I haven't, for petty and unfair reasons.

Here’s my Monster of the Week ttrpg crew! We play as a group of youtube ghost hunters who keep finding real ghost and monsters (we’ve just been calling ourselves not!buzzfeed unsolved lol).  

Oren (green sweater): Cohosts the show, and is our Wronged. @ameliarating

Jenny (blue hair): Cohost the show, and is our Crooked. @mostfacinorous

McKenna (blue blouse): Handles research, and is our Monstrous. @veliseraptor

Eli (eye necklace): Cameraman/tech/man with the van, and is our Mundane. (this one’s mine if you couldn’t guess)

Jack (brown jacket): An NPC our GM introduced (which she’ll actually be using as her player character when one of our other players takes over to run the game for a bit), and is our Spell Slinger. @portraitoftheoddity

so this, uh... so when I said 'small fic' i meant 'like 500 words' but this wound up being over 2k. fingers crossed it's a good 2k, or at least that you enjoy it ^ ^

They would probably be a lot more compassionate toward each other than the Xue Yangs, I imagine.

Behold the dickamatized bambi eyes! Note the slightly parted mouth and the way his entire posture, his very being, conveys both:

a) stunned, tender yearning; he’s shocked by the force of his own feelings

How I feel about this character

like him! and I like him particularly when he's really dissected to his core, with the rare show of anger, the ambition, the guilt that surfaces in the duel with Sauron, his silence over it beforehand. the foresight and what it may entail, and his understanding of doom. there's these crevices to the character that beg for me to go in with a fine scalpel and really see what's behind the surface.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

probably Amarie, Curufin, Turgon... sometimes Edrahil under very specific circumstances (there's like, layers of power in a ship with his subject that are fun to me as someone who sniffs out power imbalances like they're coke — they're also present for a potential Beor ship buuut a lot more marked and I'm wildly unsure that's my thing unless it were written in a way somewhat discomfiting). also not in a romantic sense per se, but Sauron when I'm feeling big nasty.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

his brothers and sister, also most of the above if I take out the shippy possibilities. also Celebrimbor.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I dunno if this is unpopular but I think his role in the establishing of/contributing to elf-human feudal hierarchies is worth analysing and keeping in mind — okay wait, I have one that is probably actually unpopular and just came to me, but I absolutely don't think he's like, a naive hippie free love flower child? I see that sometimes and I don't get it (other than for the fact that he's very shippable as I likely demonstrated above lol). I just really don't believe that's him.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
