Absolutely screaming tonight because not only did I finally figure out a way to fit Elves having spiritual/mental bonds that they can feel in with my plot (which took some doing, honestly, I had to turn to Nature of Middle-earth to get it to stop breaking the damn plot) but also
ALSO
I realized that if Elves from Valinor and Tol Eressëa visited Númenor
Then
Mavwin could see her mother. Nerdanel could visit and they could meet in Andúnië.
Which makes the banning of Elves from Númenor and the later sinking of Númenor so much worse from Mavwin’s perspective because it means the loss of her mother and last connection to the land of her birth for like. 4000 years. IN ADDITION TO the destruction of her foster son’s kingdom (what hadn’t already been destroyed by Sauron anyway), a kingdom she would have grown to love for its own sake.
Akdjfjdkk I’m just having a lot of feels about Mavwin and Tolkien and Middle-earth tonight and it’s driving me batty

Hello and welcome to my little sideblog! I’m Marijn, my pronouns are they/them, and I’m 26. I’m also white, USAmerican, and raised Christian (not evangelical, thankfully), if you’re curious as to where I’m coming from. My main is @earmo-imni. I’m currently in a weird place in life where I know I want to convert to Judaism, but due to a combination of various factors, I’m struggling to start the conversion process.
Until I can officially start that, I’m making do with learning what I can about Judaism on my own and reblogging stuff here. This will probably also be where I talk about my thoughts regarding Judaism, and my conversion journey, once I start it.
Any recommendations for books/videos/etc. are welcome! So is advice on converting to Judaism!

What are your three to five most niche headcanons for each oc?
Étoile
I suppose it's sorta niche because it doesn't show up until the second story he's in, but: as he regains his memories, he can transform into a form that's part-humanoid, part-Naturalborn of the Void-like! It's not named in the story, but I call it Voidborn Étoile.
They love sugar; food in general, but sugar and sweet things, oh my goodness. There's no food in space, after all; they can't help but love it!
Despite falling in love with Radagon quite fast after meeting him, they respect the fact he's married; and they actually like Rennala a lot, they think she's very sweet! ...they do not like Marika, though.
Camille
In an effort to look 'normal,' as was forced on him by his upbringing and parents and peers even well into his adulthood, he took a wife and settled down... but when he saw Margit on the battlefield, his desires were stoked, and he fled into the night and never looked back.
He hates using curved swords; he always forgets they're not stabbing weapons, tries to stab with them, and gets annoyed. Yes, Morgott has laughed at him about this.
Although he's rough-spoken, he's actually very perceptive. If you tell him anything, he'll remember it for as good as forever; particularly if you're one of the few people he really lets himself care about.
Adisa
She actually wasn't on her way to become Elden Lord; she was on her way to meet with the Three Fingers, rather than the Two Fingers. Her family were devotees and she was raised with a very bleak outlook on the world.
Meeting Varré really opens her eyes to a lot of things she knew nothing about before; her journey's more about finding herself than finding the Elden Ring.
Although she's very mild-mannered and gentle, she's not soft; if she's ever fighting, she fights to kill, and she doesn't regret it because she wasn't raised to.
Marijn
Honestly, their whole pursuit was for love and acceptance, even before they realised it. They only sought out the Elden Ring because they were told to, expected to; but they found true love of their own accord.
The taste of blood used to make them feel sick, funnily enough. Now though? They're very comfortable with it.
When their child is born, they're honestly better at the discipline than Mohg is... though make no mistake, Mohgwyn is one very spoiled child, seen by both parents as a miracle.
Eris
I didn't touch on this much, but they're also a Numen! Not related to Marika, though. As such, they're also really quite long-lived; they don't look it, but they're actually not that much younger than Radahn.
They became a soldier because they respected Radahn, but also because they wanted to prove their strength to themself.
They've picked up a lot of hobbies in their long life to pass the time: some favourites include cooking, fencing, taking care of horses, and painting.

It's not Verstappen’s triumph in Monaco that causes a stir, especially his qualifying lap has got instant iconic value.
At age 25 Max Verstappen is already quickly on his way to becoming one of the greatest in Formula 1 history. Not just in numbers but especially because of his occasional exceptional deeds. Acts like the one in qualifying in Monaco.
A corner for eternity
Confronted with his stats, realisation suddenly seemed to kick in. Like reality had suddenly sunk in halfway through his answer. His 39th victory in Formula 1, with which he definitively leaves Sebastian Vettel behind as the driver with the most wins in a Red Bull, what did that really mean for Max Verstappen? The two-time world champion initially began talking about the qualities of the car, tried to explain his achievements in a bone-dry manner. As he usually does.
The day before he’d shrugged his shoulders at the historical value of his incredibly good qualifying during the Monaco Grand Prix. “I always put the pressure on myself to perform and luckily that works,” the Dutchman responded, somewhat trivialising. But on Sunday he let that down-to-earth shield drop a little. “Yes, it’s great,” he concluded. I never thought I’d be in this position in my career. When I was young, I wanted to be a Formula 1 driver and the fact that I’m winning races now is fantastic. It’s better than I ever could have imagined.”
Because at age 25, Verstappen isn’t just a mere Formula 1 driver any more. He’s a motorsport legend in the making, a driver of historical proportions. He has two world titles and, as stated, 39 wins. This puts him sixth on the eternal rankings of most successful drivers, measured by race victories.
And in Monaco he underlined once more that he’s rapidly heading for a third world title, even though this season is only six grands prix underway. Only ten drivers before became more than two-time world champions. Ayrton Senna is one of them, the Brazilian has three. Meaning Verstappen can equal him this season. And if he wins the next grands prix (Barcelona and Montreal), he will also equal Senna in day victories.
Epic
But it’s the Brazilian who crashed fatally in 1994 of all people who has shown that a legendary status isn’t just commanded with stats. It comes down much more to showing extraordinary things. Senna’s epic, sometimes dirty, battle with Frenchman Alain Prost still captures the imagination. Just like Senna’s qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1988. The way in which he won pole is to this day still considered to be the best lap ever driven in a Formula 1 car.
As far as that is concerned Verstappen achieved something similar over the past weekend. Especially the image of that one turn to the right at the end of qualifying lasts. Knowing he needed a perfect last sector to enforce the crucial pole position, the world champion sought the limits. He couldn’t have cut the corner a millimetre sharper. And a striking animation of his fastest qualifying lap and that of Fernando Alonso later showed flawlessly how he turned a deficit into a lead exactly in that corner. It was perhaps the best taken corner of all time. A clip that might just, like Senna’s superior qualifying lap, show up for decades in the run-up to future editions of the Monegasque street race. This way, Verstappen has once again enriched his heritage with a special deed.
If he ever quits as a Formula 1 driver, the Dutchman will be remembered as the king of overtakes. He will be commended for his strategical ability, his tire management. But above all he will have gathered a number of extremely special highlights. Such as, of course, the way he took his first world title. But most certainly too, the magnificent qualifying from last Saturday with which he rose above himself under great pressure.
- Marijn Abbenhuis, 29 May 2023, Monaco GP, Algemeen Dagblad

DM: You're heading toward this dungeon. The nearby town wants to build a new settlement in the area, but nobody will go near it because of the local legends surrounding the area. The local council has hired a group of adventurers - you. This is a sweep and clear mission. It has already killed 4 out of 5 of another adventuring party, the sole survivor of which you met in the tavern.
Hamish (playing Thaddeus): They were low level though, right?
DM: Yes, significantly lower than you.
Marijn (playing Godric): What do we know about the dungeon?
DM: Literally nothing, the guy who could have told you just argued with you.
Hamish: It wasn't a good start, Billie opened by talking to him via telepathy.
Marijn: Billie!
Adam (playing Billie): I was trying to be stealthy.
Hamish: You didn't need to, we were in a tavern!
Adam: I- okay, okay.

Feature Friday with Wouter Hinrichd
Happy Friday! In this week’s Feature Friday, Wouter (pronounced WOW-ter) talks about his internal struggle with coming out, even though his older brother had already come out as gay and was accepted by their friends and family. Read on below to find out more about Wouter and his journey with self-acceptance.
Where are you from? I was born and raised in Groenveld (Noord-Holland), The Netherlands
Where do you live? I currently live in Deventer (Overijssel), The Netherlands
Instagram handle: @koenraadkulture
Age: I’m 21 years old
On an unforgettable trip: My favorite place I’ve ever traveled to is Curaçao! I study archaeology in Deventer, and a part of my education is that we have to do internships, which may take place in The Netherlands or abroad. Together with a really good friend of mine, Esther, we chose something very different than Holland and traveled to Curacao for an internship.
It was my first time really out of Europe (I had been to Turkey several times, but that is relatively speaking still close to home) and it was also the first time that I flew across the Atlantic! It was also my longest trip I’ve ever traveled, as I lived for three months there. Together with Esther, I had the time of my life! From swimming with sea turtles to climbing the St. Christoffel mountain and from dance party’s on the beach to help excavate a Caquetio-settlement site in the Midlands: It was something I had never experienced before. I’ve met a lot of great friends during this trip that I still speak with today. I think about this magical time on a daily basis, as it has made a real impact on me as a person and my perception of the world & what it has to offer. I learned a lot about myself on this trip, being away from home for so long. Sometimes bad things, but most of the time good things, like growing my self-confidence, which made this trip so special to me.
On always being curious: I have a lot of things I want to do in life, but for now, I think I would like to do a lot of traveling! There are so many places in the world I wish to visit, such as Japan, South-Africa, The US, and Australia. I’m really curious about what the world has to offer! I want to live in another country for a certain period! Or build out my carreer as a heritage young professional. It’s hard to choose one!
“My biggest obstacle in the process was that I dislike “Coming out”. I always thought: “Why does society expect me to do that? Straight people don’t have to come out as straight!’”
On coming out: Well… I remember it as a struggling time. Not because of fearing the reaction from the people close to me, because I knew my friends and family wouldn’t mind, as they were always spoken out about supporting LGBTQ+. I knew this because my older brother had already come out as gay and the support he got was amazing.
It was an internal battle for me with society and things I didn’t understand. For most of my life, I’ve felt like a freak. I’m a bit of a weirdo and a nerd, which I nowadays really appreciate about myself. I didn’t really fit in, as far as I felt.
In high school, I knew that something was different, but I really couldn’t point out what it was. This is also the time that some people started picking on me for showing “The gay-stereotypes”. This frustrated me so much. I have never seen “being gay” as something that was bad, and it angered me that people could be so mean about people that had a different preference when it comes to love. As I got older, I knew that I wasn’t straight. Thank you, Josh Hutcherson, for portraying Peeta Melark in The Hunger Games, that was a real eyeopener!
My biggest obstacle in the process was that I dislike “Coming out”. I always thought: “Why does society expect me to do that? Straight people don’t have to come out as straight!”. I also didn’t wanted to validate the people who always called me gay, because I thought they didn’t deserve the feeling that they were right. I completely wanted to be in charge of this journey myself and in that mindset, I only told the people that are close to me. Others could find out later, “Not my problem”, I thought.
On being being able to express yourself: In that period of my life, I finally stood up for myself and just did what I wanted to do and not what people expected me to do. After I got comfortable with myself, I started to truly live my life. It maybe sounds dramatic, but this is how it feels to me. There was always something missing. Now I feel so much better and feel lucky that I can also talk about this time with my brother, who went through the same process, and with my parents and friends. I feel confident most of the time and it is just a wonderful feeling to have the abillity to fully express myself.
On having a support system: My family and friends are super supportive of me and they don’t mind at all. They don’t treat me differently! The worst I’ve had so far is person yelling at me and calling me names, but it was never someone I knew personally.
On interior design: I think I would describe my interior style as young, nerdy & modern, but also with a touch of tradition. I like bright colors and patterns, but I also like the simplicity of a white room where the furniture and objects speak for itself. As a student, I don’t have a big spending budget, so I own a lot of second-hand pieces. Because I have always been fascinated by history, I like to show pieces that have a story behind them or that have a personal connection to me.
On growing up gay in the Netherlands: I am very lucky to have grown up in The Netherlands. Most of society and politics are accepting of the LGBTQ+ community and feel comfortable with my sexuality in public life. Just as in any other country, The Netherlands also has it’s bullies, anti-LGBTQ+ parties and people who are strongly opposed to people that don’t fit in the heteronormative culture, but these form a small minority. in the beginning of coming to terms with my orientation, these people could really irritate me. Now I try not to spend too much of my time on them. In the wise words of Kimberly “Sweet Brown” Wilkins: ‘Aint nobody got time for that!’.
On religion: I’m irreligious. My parents wanted me and my brothers to choose our own faith (if we wanted to) based on our own beliefs. I chose not to, as I can’t find myself in a religion.
On life in the Netherlands. Life in The Netherlands is good! I am finishing up my bachelor's degree in archaeology at Saxion University with a research about the history of the Roman Empire in the Netherlands. I have a great room in my student lodging house, where I live with one other roommate. Deventer is a very old city with a lot of great shops, restaurants, and bars. A lot of friends of mine are also studying archaeology and live in Deventer too! We often have a movie night at someone’s house or we go out for dinner and drinks. Every once in a while I’ll meet up with my friends to go out and dance in Amsterdam, Groningen or Utrecht, because Deventer doesn’t have that many clubs or bars with a dancefloor!
In the weekends, I travel back home to Groenveld to stay at my parents' house with my parents, brothers and our dog Risto! Groenveld, on the contrary to Deventer, is a very small village in the countryside, not far from the beach and the sea. I really like going there, because I can meet up with my high school friends and distance myself from the city life.
Noord-Holland has a lot of great spots to visit, like the beach, the duneforests or one of the old towns, so I like to go out on road trips with my best friend Marijn to hit these places up! We always have a blast and talk about gay-stuff, because we both don’t have a lot of gay friends that we can discuss these things with! When I’m alone I usually write, read, draw, play The Sims, Netflix or sing (I am not saying that I’m a good singer).
On his biggest inspirations: I have a lot of great inspirations in my life for different aspects of life! For example, I hugely look up to Lady Gaga as a musical artist and creator. But when it comes down to it, my biggest inspirations are my mum and dad. I know it sounds cliché, but it is true. My mama has always been very vocal about injustice in life as she faced it herself when she was younger, because she was a woman that didn’t wanted to do things traditionally. My mama is in my eyes the definition of a strong independent woman. My papa is such a hard working man who will do anything to support his loved ones. The way that he keeps going on, even when the odds aren’t in his favor, really inspire me. The amount of love, respect, and support that I’ve gotten from my parents throughout my life is priceless and I couldn’t be more grateful to have them.

(Major spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read/watched Fairy Tail)
(Like seriously, major)
Something that always haunts me about Fairy Tail is that Natsu isn’t really the original Natsu
Like Zeref said he brought him back to life as an Etherious
But as far as I can tell creating an Etherious seems to involve writing, in detail, what makes up that Etherious in terms of personality, in order to determine what the magic involved actually creates
Which would mean, technically, Zeref never actually resurrected anyone, he just created an approximate facsimile of his dead brother
I mean, he had like previous versions of Natsu and everything (see: Larcade) which means Zeref tried to recreate Natsu multiple times and our Natsu was just the most accurate recreation, the one close enough to Zeref’s original brother for Zeref to accept
Our Natsu is still our Natsu and always has been, but he is not, in fact, the original Natsu who died. He’s a copy of a little boy who died four hundred years ago.
Except he grew up into his own person of course
Also I wonder if some part of Zeref recognized that and that’s why he was totally okay with Natsu killing him even though that meant Natsu would die too, despite literally everything Zeref had suffered and done to bring his brother back to life
#the whole thing with natsu and larcade and the etherious and zeref is honestly a horror story#usually i ignore it bc honestly fairy tail is the good times-bad writing-nostalgia-shonen series to me#and zeref is my poor little meow meow and zervis is my tragic starcrossed romance#but jfc think about zeref and his everything too long and suddenly there’s a horror story lurking behind everything#marijn talks#fairy tail#natsu dragneel#zeref dragneel#fairy tail zeref#fairy tail natsu

Happy Father’s Day to the Doctor! My bio dad is great but alt.me desperately needed the care and compassion the Doctor provided when alt.me was first starting in their crazy reality-hopping adventure. They will always remember their time-dad, no matter what reality they’re in.

Random tidbits of the day:
Mavwin was blessed with foresight in the form of dreams, but it felt more like a curse as they started when she was very young and mostly showed the battles and violence she and her kin would suffer in the future. These dreams terrified the young Mavwin so much that Fëanor took her to Lórien to seek help from Irmo, who gave them a special charm that would focus Mavwin’s dreams onto happier things instead.
There were three significant results from this. First, after the installation of Irmo’s charm onto Mavwin’s bed, her dreams primarily featured Legolas, causing her to fall in love with him, or at least an idea of him, millennia before he was even born. This would result in a great deal of angst for Mavwin over the years, as after the First Age she assumed he had been born around the same time as her and, since she never found him, believed he was killed in the War of the Jewels. Eventually, though, she meet him in Rivendell at the Council of Elrond, and she quickly grew to love the real him.
Second, the deliberate circumvention and avoidance of her worst dreams meant that Mavwin never honed her foresight into a usable ability, and was thus unable to avoid the events of later ages, only recognizing the events she had seen in dreams after they occurred in life. In fact, after a few centuries without the charm, after going into Exile, Mavwin could no longer tell the difference between her dreams of foresight and her memories of battle.
Third, Fëanor became distinctly overprotective of Mavwin (and frankly her dreams probably fed into his later paranoia). At the time, she didn’t mind, and needed the reassurance of security anyway, and the two were extremely close. However, it resulted in a major emotional struggle for Mavwin later on, as she had grown up expecting her father to protect her from her nightmares, and instead he had lead them straight into those nightmares and even caused some of them himself. It was a very long time before she was truly able to understand and forgive him.

Good morning!
Today... I'm of a mighty need to talk about my OCs, so if anyone wants to send some asks about them, that'd be fun! There's:
Étoile (he/they, shipped with Radagon)
Camille (he/him, shipped with Morgott)
Adisa (she/they, shipped with Varré)
Marijn (they/them, shipped with Mohg; my version of the Tarnished from my series The Fall)
Eris (they/them, shipped with Radahn; the OC from my fic Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night)
...you know what, why not; let's throw Prisma the Pornographer in here too 😂
It's not mandatory of course, but if you'd like to know anything about any of them, do feel free to let me know! It'd be fun to flesh them out a bit more, some of 'em are less rounded-out than others due to being newer!

Graduation: interview Marijn, final text before proofreading.
I talked to Fenna as well about this. We made the intro together and we are going to use the same basis for every interview.
We are also having an extra textbox with the question: baddest habit developed during quarantine. -> The interview itself is more focussed on the interviewees graduation project and not about ‘corona’/’quarantaine’. So we decided to add it, but somewhere separate.

Hamish: No, let's go to the alderman now. Then we can rest as much as we like.
Rach: I had a curse this afternoon. I just need a naaaaap.
