Seems like all links are broken on mobile?? I tried to access @sotwk's work and @scyllas-revenge and @from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras too. It seems like internal links within tumblr are broken, but external (like to AO3) are working.

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHATS GOING ON??????

hopefully this isn't a very rude sounding question, but did something happen with your links? I'm trying to open them through your master list and none are working.

WHAT D: And no, not rude at all, thanks for letting me know! I'll have a look right now. Seems like they don't work on mobile but work okay on desktop???? Will troubleshoot!

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.

Treebeard takes his pet hobbits for a walk.

This was so much fun to draw, really happy with how he looks, I think he turned out just as I imagined him in the series! I based him off an oak tree, I don’t believe he has a given tree in the books but I could be wrong lol.

Hi! I have a writing question, if that’s okay? Just curious about your process, like do you plan before you write? How do you take prompts and turn them into such compelling and believable stories?

Hello hello! Yes please, idm questions about my writing process!

I generally have a vague plan before I write but its not necessarily a concrete dot point sort of situation. It's more conceptual. I generally start by asking myself a bunch of questions about the world and situation. I'll use my most recent Faramir fic (Of the Earth) as an example.

The request has a few key points: Faramir is in Ithilien. Reader is (for some reason) in Ithilien. Ithilien is dangerous. Faramir is initially angry, but then not. It's then a matter of why? and how? and where?

Like: Why is Faramir in Ithilien when its still dangerous? From the lore we know he was tasked with clearing the region up. So that's a compelling reason why he would be there. This means that it's post-war, but not so far post that Emyn Arnen is established > Unlikely that I will set the story in Emyn Arnen. Then where? Henneth Annûn seems like a good candidate as it seems logical he would use it as a sort of outpost post-war while he clears the region.

Why is the reader in Ithilien? The reader perspective is normally a bit harder. I think to make a story more believable/immersive we need to think about the wider connections to the reader. Why would anyone go to Ithilien when it's dangerous? There must be a damn good reason. The idea of a forager came to me because it gives a good reason (can't let someone die without medicine) AND ties into WHY Faramir would be more forgiving (foolhardy task in the service of another)

It is then a matter of fleshing these concepts out with logical world components. E.g. If someone is a forager for the Houses of Healing, would make sense for there to be a crew/group of them. Makes sense post-war that the brothers would be receiving proposals. etc.

Sometimes its a matter of necessity too. I needed a horse for the reader to get back to the city FAST. Which then begs the question, why didn't the reader have a horse before? Because we are post-war and resources are scarce and foragers are low on the list. I needed tangible fuel for the city rumours. What then? Wax seals/medallions/anything that is quite distinctly Faramir is necessary and it would make sense that Ithilien would have its own colours/coat of arms/symbol. And then you tie it into the story.

I find that having a strong concept as a foundation makes writing a bit easier, because then the plot can change/be fluid, but will remain somewhat cohesive if the concept underlying it is solid.

Idek if this is helpful or interesting or whatever, but thank you for your question! It was fun thinking about how I write when usually I don't think too much of it! ❤️

Whether or not I ship Sam/Frodo personally, there really is no getting around the fact that “don’t go where I can’t follow” is easily the most romantic line ever committed to film.
