Silver on the Tree

Welcome! This is mostly a Tolkien blog, although it's also the only one I post to so there's the occasional personal or non-Tolkien-fandom post. I stan for the Valar, Vanyar, and Arafinweans, though I like most of Tolkien's characters in some way or another. I tag pretty thoroughly with default character names or obvious descriptive words. Stuff I've written or commented extensively on is under "my words", if you want just fanfic it's "my fic", and meta is "my meta". Generally original posts are under "my stuff" and/or "op" and personal posts are "stuff about me". I do have a tag cloud, the link is on the upper right. I try to keep the queue stocked to post about 6-8 times a day. I also post a lot of fashion/nature/architecture aesthetics, especially ones that are evocative to me of something Tolkien-related. Feel free to message me on tumblr or Skype (I'm yavieriel there too), I love to chat although I can't always respond right away. I try to reply to mentions/asks/replies-to-replies/etc. in a reasonably timely fashion but sometimes RL or just plain old ADD means I don't get around to it for awhile. I promise it's not your fault, I just have fairly limited spoons for forcing myself to pay attention to something my brain doesn't arbitrarily latch onto at a given moment and I save most of those for Adulting. All that said, some notes on me and Tolkien fandom: I've been around a long time, though I mostly lurked during the LJ/listserve days. I am not a Feanor fan, nor do I care for Curufin, Celegorm, and Caranthir. Trying to persuade me that I have to like any of them will not go well for you, and I really really doubt you have anything to say about them that I haven't heard before. I dislike revisionism or "heresy" and am primarily interested in in-universe speculation/discussion.
