[dreams-of-mutiny]

: Being known in more than just one sense. Seen, surrounded by thoughts, encircled by dreams, reflected on in a moment that is separate from all other. Being known by not being known. Being known without being wanted for something. Being known by the mere fact of just being known. Being known without the “it” in the animal instinct, but by being known after having been understood in the effort of being known, dearly, friendly, interestedly in one’s own way of being, in one’s own momentum or inertia. Being known uninterestedly in the passing of time, with all the knowledge, respect, courtesy and manners that a person deserves.

Chicken - Cordon Bleu Rollups with Honey-Mustard Wine Sauce Recipe Chicken breast, Swiss cheese, and ham are rolled up and baked. A white wine, honey, and mustard sauce is then added on top. One of my favorites is this. It was an iterative process. Because I never follow a recipe and these amounts are estimates, have fun experimenting with the ingredients!

Retelling The Hobbit Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain First chapter / Previous / Next

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

i will now be needing david tennant to appear as an extra at least once a series.

like he’s never in the action, he’s just walking down the street or getting groceries while the (main) doctor runs past in a frenzy. he might look after them for a second, but then he’ll just go back to texting donna about what kind of ice cream rose wants.

#he has approximately 7 seconds of screen time #and no lines #he’s just there chillin #is this a good idea? no. but it’s funny so #doctor who #david tennant #catherine tate #ncuti gatwa #tenth doctor #fourteenth doctor #10th doctor #14th doctor #donna noble #15th doctor #the giggle #starlightseraph’s brainrot

Genuinely so ridiculously happy with how this turned out

EDIT since this got popular: Here is a link to the ravelry page with my notes/more info, and HERE is a link to the pattern (since it was originally free and has since been discontinued!)

#Lace is magic blocking is magic #Kinda want to make another one for myself but I have approximately 37 other projects to do first lmao #It's just so big and drapey and such a nice shape #knitblr

[image of the buttons at the bottom of an AO3 work. A new button is shown next to the kudos button. The new button reads "Second Kudos" and in place of the heart there is a Twitter verified checkmark]

if AO3 is looking for a new funding model, I don't know about you but I'd probably pay $8/mo to be able to leave second kudos

credit to @pie1313 for the idea ❤️

editing to add: this is photoshop. it is not real.
