#I’ll never reply

[nerdishpursuits]

Quite frankly this entire mindset around Rings of Power: “it’s not made the way I wanted/expected it to, following the books to a T, so it should be canceled - if I can’t/won’t watch it, no one should, let’s spread the hatred and boycott - there’s but one way to tell this story” is … disappointing. To me, it is.

No adaptation is going to be the way I envisioned. Not a one. Regardless of the company that buys the rights. Someone will always cry “Wolf”. And you know what? That’s alright. If I can enjoy a new take on a favorite series and find joy in the way someone else brings it to life? I will. Or I’ll, quite simply, not watch.

At the end of the day I’ll always have the books and my own imagination for that undiluted, “unspoiled” version. Another interpretation doesn’t bother me. Especially when it’s everything I’d want to see in a story of this caliber: mythical and whimsical, like a much beloved fairytale. With female characters not there for decoration only, held to the stereotypical standards of “women only need to be/do this in order to be palatable, lest they not be women”. Women who are not only mentioned in passing, simple tokens in a 1000+ compendium dedicated to men.

And I’m happy to be free of the gratuitous gore and endless violence of other, much-hyped franchises. Yes, it’s different than canon. Yes, we all rightly hate Amazon. Yes, there’s countless aspects one can be nitpicky about. And so on and so forth. We could sit and complain forever.

But you know what? I’m not going to let sheer hatred ruin my love for this show. I’m not going to get mired in this bottomless pit of complaints. I’m going to focus on what I REALLY enjoy: a young, brash, and quite relatable Galadriel (Cate is ICONIC, but I find Clark’s portrayal just as engaging with glimpses of the enigmatic and formidable Lady of Lorien in the Third Age; and yes, I do love me a fearless, sword-wielding elleth with a rather “swashbuckling youth”). Then there’s charming, witty Disa and the dwarves which I feel are portrayed to perfection. Durin and Elrond are a riot together and their dynamic a joy to watch. Arondir and Halbrand feel like well-established Middle Earth characters to me and I find them a welcome addition. Nori and Poppy are a delight and the Harfoots in general are a source of pure joy. Bronwyn is also a character I’ve quickly grown fond of. And I look forward to seeing what they’ve done with Numenor. Not to mention the exquisite cinematography and fantastic music score.

So, for me? There’s a lot to enjoy. Which is what I plan to do. It’s just sad you can’t go into the tags for this show and not find hate-filled comments clinging to the thread like fungus. Is there nothing that can be enjoyed these days without hateful rhetoric? I just want to stare at pretty pictures, okay?

I’m really curious how you would draw the Five Missing Children.

Technically I’ve drawn them! Only the movie versions though, sometime I’ll do the game ones too!

#ask reply #tbh it would be a lot of fun to design them #we have a clear idea of just Susie from the games? #and maybe Cassidy but that was never confirmed #So yeah sometime I’ll draw them! #I want to draw Charlie first though #I have a design for her ready #I STILL love this piece btw #think it’s one of my best fnaf comics still #these poor kids deserved better #btw the extra three is a young Vanessa / Mike and Abby

Yes, I use solangelo for all my little drawing experiments. What about it?

EDIT: this looks like the fucking propaganda posters that they throw at you in history class... i might have accidentally created solangelo propaganda, i fear

In case you ever wonder how serious fanfic writers take their craft… I just emailed three different colleges of atomospheric sciences & multiple people with doctorates in meteorology to find out what it’s like inside a hurricane

#awaiting replies #it’s funny how I’ll never be paid for this #and work is not insanely popular #but I care about it so much I still strive to make it good #i love that people are like that #writing #writers on tumblr #ao3 #creative writing #writers #writeblr #fanfiction #mine #meteorology

Oh my gosh I finally found your blog, just here to say your designs are super beautiful .

Also, you have anymore lore/info dumps to givve of your OCs/characters?

HELLO!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your compliment means a lot to me!

As for Lore… for my undragon’d girlies, Naydra has siblings :) she’s the eldest

Also I like to think her family are the ancestors of rauru and mineru. Mainly because mineru is associated with owls in-game (her mech has a very similar “owl face” to the owl on the zonaite outfit and her temple has statues of owls) which are associated with the triforce of wisdom :)

#ask #I wanted to reply right when I got this (some time in July I think?) but I had a hard time thinking of something good to share #so I ended up never replying #I’m incredibly sorry for answering this so late #I am really grateful that you guys send me asks and give me compliments #I’ll try to answer them better 🙏 #naydra #undragoned dragons

Steddie spicy food competition but they both can’t handle spice and are crying but refuse to admit defeat before the other person does. Dustin sitting there acting as ‘referee’ and begging them to stop as Eddie takes another bite of food and screaming at the same time and Steve is just sitting opposite him chanting ‘fuckyoufuckyoufuckyou’

[ghosts-cyphera]

I am a pussy so I wont be showing you who I am but I want you to know that I adore you and your writing. I can see a bit of your personality in every post and I love it. You deserve so much more praise than you get now. I hope you take time to hype yourself up a bit.

I’m—

are you kidding me? are you serious? did you not accidentally send this to me? I’m convinced that this was accidental because this is literally one of the sweetest things that anyone has ever said to me and I genuinely do not know how to respond or what to say or what to do I’m just— 💕💗💘 aaaah !! thank you?? so much. so, so much. I’m sobbing.

#genuinely what #thank you #this is one of those comments that I will never ever forget #I saw this the second I woke up and immediately sent a screenshot to my partner because I was sobbing #and didn’t know what to do with myself #I’ve been literally processing this for a few hours by now and even then this was the only reply I could muster #I wish you all the best you absolute sweetheart #it’s good that you didn’t show who you are because I would’ve fallen straight in love with you hahaha #(please don’t be scared to share who you are I’m not scary and I promise I will try to control the butterflies in my freaking tummy lol) #(I love you) #lo answers #‘hype yourself up’ me: ‘this was ACCIDENTAL I don’t deserve praise like this’ #bestie bestie I promise I’ll try to step up my game haha

while i’m truly genuinely happy there’s an aspec club at my university, some of the people there are very annoying

#aroallo #alloaro #aspec #aromantic #aro #non-sam aro #<- for tagging purposes bc i know y’all can likely relate #my words #‘allies are welcome’ like. okay. #i really wanted to reply with something like ‘i’ll take that as a no then’ or ‘not my question’ #but i didn’t want to come off as rude so i didn’t #i went to one single meeting last semester and 80% of the people there were nightmarish so i never went back lol #figured i’d try again this semester #but since it’s super extremely ace-centric i figured i should ask that #i will admit i meant it as a comment just as much as i meant it as a question and that person only proved my point! #luckily someone else said yes so i might give it another shot #but i don’t have high hopes #edit locking reblogs because the person said they misunderstood me #not sure whether to believe them or not but at any rate i don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea

I don’t believe you - BillFord

I don’t believe you. You betrayed me, and the worst thing is that to be betrayed there must be trust. There was trust between us, we were so close, and you put an "x" on my head like it was nothing. You said we were friends, remember? "Until the end of time", remember? So you won't leave me now. I don't believe a word you say, after all you've done against me, against our pact. I can't believe you, Sixer.

#in which bill has feelings #I’ll write Ford’s reply #You thought it was Ford’s pov don’t you? #they’re so similar #The problem is that their reactions are so different #Ford: I broke up with my partner I guess I’ll never see him again become paranoid #Bill: I’M GOING TO FIND YOU YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE! #billford #gravity falls #bill cipher #stanford pines #ford pines #gravity falls ship

You're version of Elizabeth is really sassy lol

At the end of the day, she’s still Michael’s little sister

#ask reply #seeing baby is so sassy I gotta believe in some part that’s Elizabeth’s personality coming thru #Makes sense to me in a troubled family the one daughter would be fussy #I think she’s good though I never like the narrative she’s spoiled or evil #she’s just a normal little girl who wants attention and to be loved #ALSO she probably stands up to Michael a lot #just cause Michael was a bully so in return she’s rude back to him #a fair trade I’d say pff #I’ll not take Elizabeth slander ever 😤

Loving the Sith Obi and Purge trooper Cody art! Just curious if you're going to participate in the Sith Obi-Wan event in October?

👀 I did not know this was a thing but…

…Consider me intrigued. Is there an event page for it?

Also thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the Obi and Cody arts, it’s been fun to work on them!

I’ll never really be upset at Wiz for doing rainbow capitalism bc I realized I was LGBT kind of young and panicked super hard since I had no idea who would support me so my first instinct was to run to my special interest and so I DMed an official wiz social media account and asked if they’d do anything for pride and the guy who replied was like “oh yeah totally we support you :)” and then like a year later we got the rainbow teleport

I asked for this

#I’m not saying I caused it but I am saying I got a very supportive reply #wizard101 #I’ll never forget it. it’s so stupid in the hindsight but honestly I was like 13/14 #have I told this story before?

[josukespimphand]
