CONSPIRACY THEORY: that dude is actually Herodotus. Back from the grave. Full of himself.

adult life is already so goddamn weird

I mean I’m not questioning it at all, knowing the whole story even just up to the point where he has to make the choice, I would still do it too, because... well, he’s seen a lot and most of it has actually been pretty good. It’s just surprising how little people have to know before they would also do it, and FASCINATING what things people base the decision upon.

I've played this one out in my head, but I have no idea how I'll fit it into 3 sentences!

Sirius smugly threw the object (that had been the subject of his frustration for days) onto the coffee table, in front of Remus, who just glanced at it and said "you used magic," before going back to his reading.

Sirius had indeed used magic to solve this Muggle puzzle, but he couldn't have Remus know that something muggles could do was out of his capabilities; after all, he could use the washing machine and the hoover just fine!

I know there’s a bit included at the end of this one, but I think this idea has been used in a few fics. If anyone else knows of any other fics with this included, let me know!

#love yourself

there’s such a thing as loving yourself too much.

Oh my god those pratchett references <333 also maglor is like 90% bad special effects and terrible decisions. the other 10% is good hair probably

It’s when you get into the breakdown of hideous decisions vs special effects that things get complicated. The hair is amazing tho.

Did maglor abduct a third child just to stand behind him and wave a piece of cardboard up and down for wind effect at appropriate moments

What does your heart say? (Yes)

why would you remove such a glorious pratchett reference? just kidding, I can understand why you'd want to do that. that said, those words fit in maedhros and maglor's mouths astonishingly well!

I told June that this was the most Vimes+Nobby-esque interaction I’ve seen in a while and I stand by it. Arda did start out as a disk after all!

this is beautiful XD

Maglor would agree. Assuming you were referring to his monologue which, of course, you were.

I love this inutterably

...i always thought eau de nil was 'essence of nothing' omg you teach me so much

also maglor has the best sfx team

Maglor seeks to inspire and educate children everywhere, not just the ones he stole to work a lighting rig.

Oh, Fingolfin, ow -- "I suppose that counts for more than I would like", indeed.

Fingolfin used to take such pleasure in those snarky asides but now he doesn’t even know why he bothers. 

imindhowwelayinjune replied to your post “So do you think Turgon ever sent word out to dad that Aredhel was dead...”

Somehow fingon standing to attention before his father is the most heartbreaking part of this

Fingon has been taking tips from his boyfriend on hiding distress behind a facade of icy professionalism :( boyyys :( :(

"said Fingolfin to his host" I feel bad for laughing

Also: getting eaten by spiders is like, rule #1 in How Not To Hostage, gosh

The really embarrassing thing is that Maedhros spent that night running around trying to get spidered and failing utterly. Everyone involved is an idiot.

Sfghfvbn thank you for including the 100 arrows

I like. how they do not sound like monsters. Makes it much scarier.

it is too Extra(tm) to ever not appear in any Doriath-related fic. I can just see him bleeding out all ‘cough, tell them....tell them it was ten thousand arrows.’

I know people do deeply shitty things in wartime but I do struggle to wrap my hear around how cruel and spiteful and stupid what happened to the twins was. It was evil and not even productive evil, just monstrosity for its own sake.

Dagnis sue eats your children and has special hair uwu

Dagnis Sue has a special birthmark shaped like a star- oh no, that was just mud/bloodsplatter.

it was contingent on how sexual the friendships in question were

and c+c corroborate the totally platonic nature of their cousinly relationships. 100%. for sure. promise, dad.

Not sure who I should judge more, these horrible creatures or you. 

valaraukars replied to your post “what is the yummiest part of an elf”

I don't know where to start

With the brain, hun. I just told you. 

imindhowwelayinjune replied to your post “Did anyone ever hear from Turgon? I guess it's unlikely anyone ever...”

i got angry during so many parts of this post where to start

'pin a note to Hurin'

'he never saw his father alive again'

'the brief period in which Fingon had a face left to meet'

i forgive you, a little, because your bulletpoints are spot on

All my posts are specifically tailored to make you suffer, I’m so glad it’s working. I thought of your face while writing about Fingon’s lack thereof xxx
