Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar
Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!
Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.
Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!
If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

Timeline for Nikoletta Bordeaux
(since I don't have her story written out and don't have time to start it, I figured I'd put this together to keep things organized)
1982 (December 21) - Nikoletta is born in New Orleans.
1983 - Nikoletta's mother leaves the picture shortly after she's weaned onto solid foods. She is raised by her father, Raymond Bordeaux
1998 - Nikoletta is sixteen. Her father is killed in a drunk driving accident. Nikoletta begins running a voodoo scam to pay for her last two years of high school.
2000 - Nikoletta graduates high school and continues to run her voodoo scam. She makes enough money to survive, though only just. At this time, Abner is living with his mother and siblings in STAR Labs, in the early stages of testing.
2006 (May): Nikoletta is 23. She is kidnapped by STAR Labs for experimentation. She is in the labs for about a month while they run experiments.
2006 (June): The tests at STAR Labs finally succeed, and Nikoletta is linked to a shadow realm. She develops her shadow-touch and eventually learns how to move through shadows. She uses this ability to escape STAR Labs the first chance she gets. At this time, Abner is on another floor of the building, undergoing experimentation of his own.
2007: After escaping STAR Labs, Nikoletta returns to running her voodoo scam on the streets of New Orleans. She supplements this by breaking into homes, using her shadow-walking to vanish without a trace.
2010: Nikoletta is caught in the act of breaking and entering and is arrested. She is given a power dampener and sent to Belle Reve.
2011 (January): The power dampener glitches, and it is briefly removed to be replaced. Nikoletta uses the opportunity to escape Belle Reve by shadow-walking. At this time, Abner and his siblings are in the late stages of experimentation.
2011 (October): Nikoletta is caught again, this time for a chain of assaults - her victims survived, but each was left with an unmistakable inky handprint across their faces. It was ruled disfiguring, and she was charged heavily and sent back to Belle Reve
2012: Nikoletta settles into Belle Reve and decides that it's a safer life than living impoverished on the street. She begins cultivating her reputation as the Queen of Belle Reve.
2015: Nikoletta is 32/33. She has now secured her reputation as the Queen of Belle Reve, and no longer wears a power dampener. She has an understanding with Amanda Waller - she keeps things "clean" by marking certain prisoners with her shadow-touch, controlling the violence in Belle Reve, in exchange for a safe cell and some amenities. While she could escape at any point, she stays in Belle Reve to maintain her power and control.
2016: Abner is sent to Belle Reve for blowing up STAR Labs. He is attacked his first day by another prisoner, and Nikoletta rescues him by "marking" his attacker (opening him up to violence from the other prisoners) and encourages Abner to keep his head down.
2017: The Suicide Squad is formed, though neither Nikoletta nor Abner are sent on missions. Nikoletta and Abner have sparse but friendly interactions.
2021 (April): Abner's presence results in greater conflict at Belle Reve as Calendar Man and others use him as a target. Amanda Waller subtly requests that Nikoletta mark him - the easiest way to remove the conflict before it gets worse, and she doesn't see any use for him. Nikoletta refuses, and keeps this interaction a secret from the other prisoners.
2021 (August): Abner is assigned to the Suicide Squad's mission to Corto Maltese. Nikoletta is also assigned - she suspects Waller is upset about her disobeying, and wants to get them both out of the way. She debates escaping the mission by shadow-walking, but eventually decides against it.
2021 (August): The mission to Corto Maltese takes place. Nikoletta and Abner grow closer through the mission and form a budding romance. She rescues him from Starro by pushing him into the shadow realm. She wakes up days later in the hospital, drained and exhausted but without her shadow-touch (the exertion of pushing another person in the shadow realm drained her of the excess shadows). She finds Abner in the hospital room with her, holding her hand.
2021 (September): She and Abner move into a low-budget apartment on the outskirts of New Orleans.
2021 (November): She and Abner adopt two cats - a black cat named Baron and a gray American shorthair named Barbie (short for Barbershop Quartet). Both cats were rescued strays, Baron found near one of New Orleans' many voodoo shops and Barbie found in an alleyway behind a hair salon.
2022 (January): Nikoletta's shadow-touch briefly returns, which causes her to panic. She learns to expel the excess shadows, as she did during the battle with Starro. Eventually this will become a routine - every few months, her shadow-touch returns and she drains the shadows, leaving her weak for about a day afterwards.

Title: Another 90s Camera: Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z
DeviantART Version [CLICK ME!]
Hello, January! Sorry for the long delay, though. Because I have a lot of things that happened at the beginning of 2024. And GOOD NEWS, I've bought something that makes my PC bring back to LIFE, after 7 months of being inactive (since Jun 9th, 2023)! 🖥️🔧😀 Although I'm still working on the topic, maybe I'll submit it this Feb 2024! 😁
Right now, it's time for my 1st throwback item share of 2024, with this neat-old camera (as my improvise).🙂
• Here's another '90s camera, this is the Olympus Camedia C-2000 Z 📷 inherited from my late grandpa named Jim, who passed away on Jun 6th, 2020 owing to complications, as well as the victim of the COVID-19 virus. Once again, R.I.P, grandpa Jim. 😔⚱️🥀 Believe it or not, I used this '90s camera for submitting on dA, back in Jan 2010. 🙂📸🖼️
Here are my snapshots from the 2010s, so far using the 90s Olympus cam:
○ Jan. 4th, 2010 #1 - [CLICK ME!]
○ Jan. 4th, 2010 #2 - [CLICK ME!]
○ Jan. 19th, 2010 - [CLICK ME!]
BTW:
#1: All these three we're stored to my dA private storage, but at least I've already posted on tumblr, couple of years ago.
(and) #2: Also, picturing & submitting these photos on whole "January" calendar was utterly coincidence. 😊📸
1st & 2nd Image(s) [took photos on Jan 19th, 2023]: ↑
• Anyways, the 90s Olympus cam possessed 2.1 megapixels of camera 📷✌️, which was pretty clear & and crisp at the time. However, as of 2024, it is considered a pretty low megapixel that no other modern high-quality companies make that, anymore. 🤷♀️ Except for cheap gadgets, of course. And when you compare to your (flagship/mid-range) smartphones 📱/digital cameras 📷 that possessed a whopping 150+ Megapixels, and sometimes 200+ megapixels for the Pro-DSLR camera brands 📷🖼️ speaks volumes to the consumers. It was simply an evolution of the camera lens. Today, like the brick phones from the 90s, the 90s cameras we're now a relic status of the past, meaning no one's using them, anymore due to outdated hardware. They now act as a throwback collection, which simply refuses to throw the trash 🚯, like this ancient 90s Olympus camera. 📷🫳 But hey, if your 90s camera still functions, then you're lucky to used it, but please be careful. 😉
• So, what about the "Olympus" 🇯🇵📷 brand? What happened? Are they still producing cameras? 🤔 Well, according to "quora.com", quote "Olympus has announced in June 2020 that it is selling its camera division to Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) and will exit the camera business altogether. The sale to JIP was completed in January 2021, and the new company created from the sale is called OM Digital Solutions." This means the Olympus camera brand is already off the camera wars; with Canon, Sony, and other Japanese camera brands still running the camera business. However, the Smartphone cameras became more advanced than the old-style digital cams. Here's hoping, that the digit cams will have the same treatment, or maybe still be around in case the smartphone's camera pixels weren't enough, in terms of the raw image.📷🤞
3rd & 4th Image(s) [Took photos on Jan 29th, 2024]: ↑
• Uh yeah, I forgot that the camera includes a soft case fitting for this model. And look, my paper dolls were delighted to see a throwback camera & they wanted a snapshot using it. 🙂📸 Yeah, but it's no longer working 📷❌, and I tried (using 4 Eneloop AA Batteries) 🔋🔋🔋🔋🤷♀️. So much so, that I decided to pretend to take snapshots with the old cam while taking photos with my actual camera from my current smartphone (Honor 8C). Was that a coincidence? 🤔 I'm not so sure 😅, but they're delighted. 😊
Well, that’s the end of my topic, more things to come this 2024. 😊

on recommendation from @judge-tenderly on the randomizer:
Dimension 20 by Calendar Day:
all D20 episodes in chronological order of the day they were released. Note: this list includes the episodes of fantasy high junior year that have yet to be released, for the sake of pattern matching, though they are not in the randomizer yet. this inflates the count for the Q1 months marginally, though it will be corrected by the time the season ends.
my fun observations:
the only days with multiple episodes are: january 9th, june 24th, september 21st, september 26th, and october 24th,
october, january, february, may, and september have the most episodes; this generally reflects sidequest overlap with main cast seasons, while the other months lean one way or the other.
it also shows where the main cast seasons tend to be: fantasy high began in september and ended in january, the unsleeping city began in july and ended in october, fantasy high sophomore year began in october and ended in april, a crown of candy began in may and ended in august, the unsleeping city chapter ii began in november and ended in march, a starstruck odyssey began in january and ended in may, neverafter began in november and ended in april, and fantasy high junior began in january and will end in may.
in other words, there's intrepid heroes season throughout the year, but most overlap between them happens in Q1 and Q4, with less overlap in Q2 and Q3.
this reflects the more recent patterns of Q4-Q1 releases, with seasons ending in Q2, when the sidequests start for the year. the earlier the season ends, the more sidequests there are for that year.
technically this pattern has only been in place since 2021--the year began with the remainder of the unsleeping city chapter ii, and had four sidequests. 2022 began with a starstruck odyssey, had 2 sidequests, and ended with neverafter. 2023 began with neverafter, and had four sidequests. now, in 2024, we're starting with fantasy high junior year, which will end two weeks later than starstruck.
fantasy high often ends up grouped together because of how freshman and sophomore year were released.
there's a couple instances in Q3-Q4 where there are sequences of 4 or more episodes with Aabria, either as a gm or player
2020 had three intrepid heroes seasons, which caused the high number from that year. after, the sidequests gave more of a buffer between seasons.
there's more, but it's all in the sheet. happy watching!

What’s the vibe? #57
News:
Matchesfashion has gone into administration and they’ve also cut their workforce by half. So Farfetch sold, Net-A-Porter looking for a buyer, MyTheresa and SSense doing okay I assume?
What are the jobs of the future? Where is truly safe from risk? No where but here are some suggestions for jobs always needed: health/care, food, agriculture, public transportation, engineering, artists, craftspeople. Will expand upon this later on with more research but this is something to chew on.
Miu Miu is in my eyes, now, a brand for women of all ages, a brand that plays with the idea of youth and intellect and I guess customers really like it. From BOF this weekend….
“Prada Group released [its annual report] yesterday, with an eye-popping 82 percent uptick in Q4 sales at Miu Miu, the main driver of growth is ready-to-wear, up 24 percent year over year, and up 64 percent versus 2021, compared to 3 percent and 25 percent growth in leather goods, respectively.”
What was also great was the ideal Miu Miu customer walking the runway….Meet Dr Qin Huilan
The post continues on: "Therefore, I also want to encourage everyone who is confused at a certain point, never give up on your dreams! Before the age of 70, I only cared about my patients as a doctor. Who would have thought that at the age of 70, I would be standing here on the runway today?
Come on! Look! This is Paris! Look! This is miumiu’s runway!
Look! This is 70-year-old Qin.
#miumiu"
Living the "brand values" as they say.
Thread of thought: Kate Middleton conspiracy theories > lack of trust in British society > interpersonal relationships - "do we even believe each other?" > I'll see it to believe it culture > low hope? during an election year. Feels like the slog but I also feel like this is why people are latching onto these theories so quickly. But the photoshop was terrible and honestly, the news agencies killing the photo does not bode well for the family regardless of outcome.
In the theatre:
Bluets @ Royal Theatre (Fri 17 May - Sat 29 Jun 2024)
Slave Play (29 June - 21 September 2024) - sort of controversial but will be hyped and seen.
Person of the Week:
Fromm Studio - 3D artists, Vince Ibay and Jessica Miller, located in London (Barcelona also). They also just had an exhibition at Mother (@downstairsatmother) which finished 3rd March.
vimeo
Reading List:
Really interesting as the guy who ran it said he wanted to quit because of the "enshittification" of the internet?
from the ft article!!!
"But in case you want to be more precise, let’s examine how enshittification works. It’s a three-stage process: first, platforms are good to their users. Then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers. Finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, there is a fourth stage: they die."

oops all wiz!
commentary below:
January - I made this when I needed an icon for my new wiz blog. I didn't have a pen though so I did it with my finger lol
February - I was obsessed with the divine paradox look!! I was still learning the ins and outs of digital so I colored all the flats by hand....... but I also remember being very proud of this
March - I drew SO MUCH stuff this month, but some of my favorite works were the little comic pages. I'd do more if they didn't take so long and if I actually had a story to tell
April - Full Mellori hype mode. I had a lot of fun with this even though I had to scrap the first concept and start over
May - Malorn brainrot came out swinging. I did this one on my computer, which has been broken this past year so that everything looks yellow on my screen. So let it be known I genuinely didn't know he was so pale until I looked at the post on my phone 😭
June - A piece from the scrapped wiz calendar. Looking back at this, I'm not sure how well it would do on paper (it seems too dark - i'd have to readjust the values). Tbh I'd still do wiz calendar if other people helped
July - Big art block summer but I wanted to paint something, so I chose pirate aquila. If only the quests were as good as the aesthetics... (hot take: the harpies are worse than the bumballoons)
August - Not much art because my mom was diagnosed w/ cancer and spent the month in the hospital (she is ok now). But i did manage to get some pirate sessions in! A lot of just sitting around and watching people's fits for inspo
September - Quick thing based on a photo i took last November from my old dorm, painted while moving into my new one
October - Trying to get back into the 101 obsession with good old Bonnie Anne
November - Based on a photo I took at school
December - Lowkey cheating because I actually did 95% of this in April, but i fixed it up a little December sooooo I say it counts? There are a *lot* of things I'd change about it now but it's still a vibe, also first time I drew 2 of my wizards interacting I think?
So this was the most I've EVER drawn. I took a long break (2017-end 2021), so January was the first time in literal years that I sat down to draw something, let alone post it publicly. The 101 community on tumblr has been so nice + tolerant of my brainrot that I really enjoy putting my stuff out there as a way to tell myself I'll stop messing with something lol.
Stylistically, I took a big leap. I learned with traditional media and I was taught in a more realism-oriented way, so trying to figure out what I wanted to do was super challenging... This explains why none of my stuff really looks the same, even after a year lol (and you can kinda see the traditional vibe in Jan.? Maybe?)
But anywayyy if you read all this, tell me: what fandom do you think I first started drawing for? I am SO curious what vibe I have

It’s ready!! And it only took me (checks calendar) three and a half months. Well...really more like a couple of weeks and a lot of setting it aside in-between. The more toddler conversions I do, the more I figure out about them. This started with @platinumaspiration’s 4t2 Sweater Playful conversion. (Cottage Living agaaaain!!) Toddler separates are not much of a thing (on account of the thumbnail issue), so I added @storylegacysims Cuffed Jeans and some TS4 BG canvas slip-on shoes which I think were originally for kids. Why can’t tops be as easy to convert as bottoms and shoes??
They’re PU, categorized as Everyday. I did all ten EAxis sweater colors, with coordinating jeans and shoes. No swatch. Maybe later? I’m also working on a de-foxed/de-cowed/de-clouded/de-landscaped/de-patched just plain old sweater texture, so expect recolors in a future post.
Note: The polycount is on the high side, at 3741, but that should be fine for most modern computers.

I had so much fun finding and converting those 70's pants that I had to do one more thing before the theme ends. This is @sentate's Daffodil Dress, with @dallasgirl79's Mary-Jane Platforms.
Get it here at GoS, and check out the other 70's and witchy goodies!

All the jumpsuitness cuteness, now in baby size! Silliness aside, here’s the BU version of my 4t2 conversion of the Cottage Living toddler jumpsuit.
No shoes, because it’s not like they’re walking around or going anywhere. The swatch is the same as the toddler version, the original 11 EAxis swatches, with the ankle carrot removed. (I don’t think I mentioned the ankle carrot [like an applique of a carrot on one ankle] in the previous post, but it was weird and it had to go.) They’re set as everyday only, for both sexes, and you need Chris Hatch’s mod to use them. You can find it in this post (scroll down or use find) or you can get @creesims alternate object versions.

My first 4t2 mesh conversion! Or...the first I’ve finished. This is the EP11 toddler jumpsuit. Cottage Living has the cutest stuff and I’m stunned that no one had converted this yet.
It comes in the original 11 TS4 colors and has white EAxis sandals. The gap at the shin has been fixed. There’s a little bit of clipping when they’re sitting, but it’s not too bad. I’ll also be doing a version without the shoulder frills and a baby version, which you can see in my WIP tag. Expect recolors and texture conversions too. I really love it and want it in all the colors. It’s categorized for PU everyday.

TwoJeffs' Find-A-Mate Crystal Ball...now 100% less biphobic!! Back in my young edgelord days, I probably thought "I'm Desperate and Don't Care!" was funny. It aged like milk. So did the g-slur in the description. I've fixed both! I'm giving you three new options, to kick off Pride month.

FOR LEONORA CARRINGTON by Peter Lamborn Wilson
# 1
Mexico City is absolutely.
Or was.
With a claridad that would’ve seemed
glossy as bone except for the fecality
of its plutonian fruit. Especially
Leonora Carrington – the secret hardness
of colonial baroque – its refusal to be
reasonable – its crown of owls
#2
Chocolate is Mexico’s great
contribution to Surrealism.
With unbroken incantations in the
voice of a lion prepare (on wild rocks)
a soup made of half a pink onion, a bit of
perfumed wood, some grains of myrrh, a
large branch of green mint, 3 belladonna pills
covered with white swiss chocolate, a
huge compass rose (plunge in soup for one minute)
Just before serving add Chinese “cloud” mushroom
which has snail-like antennae &
grown on owl dung
#3
As modern Hermeticist she ranks with Fulcanelli
a Madame Paracelsa who tells yr
fortune in the sense of buried treasure.
It seems you yourself have psychic gifts
which are only exacerbated by her soups.
Molé as Dalí realized surrealizes all
dishes via its resemblance to excrement
e. g. over boiled lobsters (serve
with pink champagne). Shit you can sculpt.
#4
Like gunpowder which was invented solely
to exorcize demons – a secret passed
along the Silk Road to Roger Bacon
who unfortunately leaked the recipe
to the uninitiated – Carrington
embodies both the siesta & the
anti-siesta. A Madam Adam
with a handcranked gramophone with a horn
lacquered black with gold pinstriping that
plays only beeswax cylinders of Erik Satie
or Gesualdo. Here alone exile
attains an elegance & impassibility known
only to stoned Rosicrucians.
#5
To live absolutely. A tricky trajectory between
clinical dementia & the sloppy lace
curtain Irish kitchen gemütlichkeit that
usually passes (present company excepted
of course) for life outside literature &
even for true love. Or else it’s
the altitude — mushrooms & chocolate — under the
asphalt the bloodsoaked landfill —
cactus cowskulls &
drunken fusillades of flowers.

2022 Movie Odyssey
Well, it’s another record set for the the latest date that this list has ever appeared. As per tradition on this blog, this is the complete list of films I saw for the first time in their entirety over the last calendar year. They are listed in the order of completion and with a respective rating out of ten from me. Each rating (my ratings system and eligibility rules are explained here) is based on my personal imdb rating. All half-points are rounded down.
March was defined entirely by my blog’s annual 31 Days of Oscar marathon (in which I limit myself to watching films nominated for an Academy Award or Honorary Academy Award winning films). June and early July were defined almost entirely by viewing submissions for Viet Film Fest - which contributed heavily to the amount of short films (one will notice tons of MGM short films and Popeye as well; the latter I believe I will be completing later in 2023) seen this year.
In sum, I saw 207 films that were new to me in 2021 (a sharp decline from 329 in 2021). 116 of those were features (films defined as forty-one minutes or longer); 91 were short films (forty minutes or shorter). My yearly goal to watch more pre-1980 films than 1980 and after - so as to ensure that I my viewing habits are well-rounded, chronologically - failed for the first time in at least eleven years. Among features, I saw six more features released 1980 and after. Adding both features and shorts, the deficit was nineteen. My professional situation in the second half of the year did not help matters.
What follows is the entire list of the 2022 Movie Odyssey:

All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) – 7.5/10

Baby Wants Spinach (1950 short) – 6/10
Chicana (1979 short) – 6/10
Start Cheering (1938) – 6/10
Ladies of the Chorus (1949) – 6.5/10
Drive My Car (2021, Japan) – 10/10
Belle (2021, Japan) – 6/10
La bestia debe morir (The Beast Must Die) (1952, Argentina) – 9.5/10
The Stork’s Holiday (1943 short) – 5/10
Beach Peach (1950 short) – 6/10

What Price Fleadom (1948 short) – 6/10
A Hero (2021, Iran) – 7.5/10
Nightmare Alley (1947) – 9/10
Flee (2021) – 8.5/10
One Ham’s Family (1943 short) – 6/10

Congrats to Jamie-Lee Rattray! You were my neighbor (in some way, shape, or form) all four of our years at Clarkson, my classmate in that one history course senior year, and our social circles overlapped in multiple places. Now, as a member of Team Canada's Women's Hockey Team at the 2022 Winter Olympics, you (and 3 others) are truely Golden Knights!

Ugghhh. I found a fic that I absolutely love. That I adore. That positively speaks to me. I have been reading it on repeat for days. It's a WIP, and so well written, unique, and complex that I feel like I'm reading new source material, not fic. And as a result, it has given me much inspiration.
In the past two days I have managed to churn out one 1700 word long fic and 3400 words (and counting) of another, which looks like it'll become a monster of it's own. I'm waiting to see if I hear from the original author before I post these "fics inspired by" (which I will tag, credit, and link appropriately on AO3).
In the meantime my holiday fic exchange contribution for another fandom sits in my WIPs at about 300 words, where it's been for months since the writer's block hit, and is *checks calendar* roughly 5 weeks overdue.

looking for a fic
Harry potter fandom-
I am on the search for a fic I read a couple of months ago on AO3. If I recall correctly, Harry is spending the summer in Diagon Alley and ends up starting a school where he, Hermione, and Daphne Greengrass teach incoming muggleborns useful stuff like how to use a quill, some basic spells, and wizarding culture (Harry is also taking that lesson) so that they aren't behind the wizarding raised kids when they get to Hogwarts. I think Flitwick helps? And the building they use is one that it turns out Harry inherited because the Potters owned properties. There's other stuff, too, like Harry having multiple heirships and starting to get involved in politics (which is where Daphne came into play).
And then when they get back to Hogwarts Harry gives Daphne a portrait of Slytherin from the Chamber to put in her common room. Harry had been going down to the chamber and learning from books/a portrait he found down there so I think this takes place in maybe 5th year? I feel like the characters are too mature to be third years and I don't think the tournament is happening, so 5th year makes more sense. Might even be summer after 5th year- I don't remember Sirius being in the fic but I do remember Harry being Heir Black so his absence would make more sense if it's after 5th year.

My #1 post of 2022
Thought-
You know how Snape talks like a mix of some academic and some posh person out of the turn of the century? Yet we also know that, given his working class background, that's probably not, like, his natural way of speaking?
I think he started talking that way when he first started teach to combat imposter syndrome and to make himself seem older than he was, and he just stuck with it.
Like, seriously, he was 31 years old at the start of the first book, and contextual evidence leans towards indicating that he likely started teaching when he was 20 or 21. The 5th/6th/7th years at the time would have been students who remembered him as a surly, bitter, dark upper year student when they were 1st/2nd/3rd years, and his fellow professors would likely still be somewhat thinking of him as their student. Can you imagine suddenly being a teacher at your old Junior-Senior High when you're barely in your 20's?
He had to do something to differentiate himself from his history at the school, and to make himself feel like an adult in a place of authority. I mean, I'm 30, own my house and car, have a steady, well paying job, have completed both a BS and MS, and I still don't always think of my self as a real "grown up".
So he started talking like a posh, pretentious academic prick and stuck with it.
But his inner dialog is probably all, like, 'these fuck'n littl' idiots.'
