Among the Exiles many believed that the summit of the Meneltarma, the Pillar of Heaven, was not drowned for ever, but rose again above the waves, a lonely island lost in the great waters; for it had been a hallowed place, and even in the days of Sauron none had defiled it. And some there were of the seed of Eärendil that afterwards sought for it, because it was said among loremasters that the far-sighted men of old could see from the Meneltarma a glimmer of the Deathless Land. For even after the ruin the hearts of the Dúnedain were still set westwards; and though they knew indeed that the world was changed, they said: ‘Avallónë is vanished from the Earth and the Land of Aman is taken away, and in the world of this present darkness they cannot be found. Yet once they were, and therefore they still are, in true being and in the whole shape of the world as at first it was devised.’
For the Dúnedain held that even mortal Men, if so blessed, might look upon other times than those of their bodies’ life; and they longed ever to escape from the shadows of their exile and to see in some fashion the light that dies not; for the sorrow of the thought of death had pursued them over the deeps of the sea. Thus it was that great mariners among them would still search the empty seas, hoping to come upon the Isle of Meneltarma, and there to see a vision of things that were. But they found it not. And those that sailed far came only to the new lands, and found them like to the old lands, and subject to death. And those that sailed furthest set but a girdle about the Earth and returned weary at last to the place of their beginning; and they said:
“Thus in after days, what by the voyages of ships, what by lore and star-craft, the kings of Men knew that the world was indeed made round, and yet the Eldar were permitted still to depart and to come to the Ancient West and to Avallónë, if they would. Therefore the loremasters of Men said that a Straight Road must still be, for those that were permitted to find it. And they taught that, while the new world fell away, the old road and the path of the memory of the West still went on, as it were a mighty bridge invisible that passed through the air of breath and of flight (which were bent now as the world was bent), and traversed Ilmen which flesh unaided cannot endure, until it came to Tol Eressëa, the Lonely Isle, and maybe even beyond, to Valinor, where the Valar still dwell and watch the unfolding of the story of the world. And tales and rumours arose along the shores of the sea concerning mariners and men forlorn upon the water who, by some fate or grace or favour of the Valar, had entered in upon the Straight Way and seen the face of the world sink below them, and so had come to the lamplit quays of Avallónë, or verily to the last beaches on the margin of Aman, and there had looked upon the White Mountain, dreadful and beautiful, before they died.”

Still working on getting my Google accounts back. Losing my Youtube, Drive, Docs, etc. has been really horrible. So many memories, comic scripts, videos and notes to myself from the last 20 years just - gone! I usually try to keep things backed up, but I'm finding out I was much less diligent than I thought & that's very fun.
Anyway, backup your files & send some positive technological energy my way!

I drew a comic adaptation of the RUR theatre play three years ago.... This year was published a new edition (in Czech), so here is a little thing to celebrate it ♥
(also...maybe there will be an English version next year *_*)
last day burned down inspiration for this piece, one of the biggest buildings of Zlín's Svit industrial area. Zatraceněě....I drew 250pages inspired by that place,I feel such a loss ×_×
There is a tower, between here and the sky. A tower like a piece of string. I heard about it long ago and so I started walking; I saw it long ago, years before I reached it. And the years were different, each of them. The closer I got the more it seemed the world was in an endless spring. There were no long nights and there was no cold. There were no long days, although, yes, there was heat.
The people here have tried to greet me; I’ve learned just enough of their language to pass for a three-year-old in conversation. They tell me they know what the tower is. They tell me something about the creation of the world and something about, I think, umbilical cords. It does look something like one. It does.
They tell me they’ve heard of someone who’s tried to climb it. A friend, an aunt, a great-great grandparent. They tell me it never goes well.
But I stand here at the base of the tower and I think it might be hollow, no, I am certain it is hollow. There is at its base what looks almost like seams, well made ones by some skilled and likely giant seamstress. Nearly hidden but not. So I know there is an inside to this tower. I know.
I have tried to cut into it, with knife, with axe. I am not surprised that it resists my efforts. And I am not surprised it is hard to climb. It is smooth, so smooth. Nothing to hold onto. And it seems to extend forever. Truly, it does. And in some lights, yes, in some lights I swear something just beneath it seems to glow.
I touch it often, now. And I beg it entry. And one day, I wonder, one day it might open and I will not hesitate, I will step right inside, and perhaps I will become another legend the people here tell, like the one of how the world was long ago created by great birds from beyond the sky.

More of the Les Mis OBC, I believe most of these are from ‘85-‘87. There’s something I love so much about the very beginnings of this show. The incredibly 80’s hair, the insane stage makeup they had Terrence Mann in, the camp of it all that just feels like something you don’t get today. It’s also fascinating to look at these photos and see how much has changed, but also how much has stayed the same about this show. Enjolras’ iconic red and gold vest, Éponine’s costume that has not changed since Victor Hugo described it in the book almost 200 years ago, Gavroche’s silly little hat. I also really love Cosette’s dress in these photos, I wish we got to see this costume design more often for her. Also huge shoutout to the og staging of One Day More, wherein the Thenardiers would pop out of the sewers to sing their lines.
A couple years ago I watched the archival video of the OBC at the NYPL at Lincoln Center, and oh boy, that ‘80s Broadway brashness (both visually and dramatically) was glorious!

SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:

SEX:
dykevandyke: #what a prostate is #and where it is located #as in. external.
dreamyeyedrose: #I remember back in the ff.net days reading an Ichigo/Renji fic where the writer assumed the penises go inside each other #and I was like “I mean I don't know how it works for sure I don't have one but idk if that's how it works”

violetfairydust: #i once read a fic where the flight time from london to seattle was 3 hours
purekesseltrash: One time, in a fic set specifically in Des Moines, IA, two of the characters casually drove 20 minutes to the ocean. The memory continues to delight me. I want to know where that author thought that Iowa was.
