LOTR enamel pins / or golden hot stamped charms coming to my bigcartel store soon!
And if I make it to Brno's AnimeFest Artist Alley, also there! Alongside some other heartfelt media merch (like Twin Peaks, few horror stuff and picked through Marvel)
The listing for these 2 keychains are offically up on my etsy :>
They're a PREORDER, meaning it might take me upwards of a month or so to be able to mail these out! Please keep that in mind!! But they are officially purchasable
We ended up not getting the house we were looking at because it was apparently full of rot :$
But we have another one! Moving in hopefully mid September/early October?? It’s a long story
And I’m looking for cute decor for when we move it…🫠 I hate that EVERY sign of doormat with speak friend and enter on it also has a picture of the white tree of Gondor….they have nothing to do with one another just use the doors of durin???
They’re obviously just copying what’s already on Etsy 😵💫 makes me mad we already don’t have a lot of merch and the merch we do have is inaccurate ppl it’s made by non-fan
I having an idea for a Fellowship goes Camping standee set !!!
Featuring Bowomir as a little style test !!!
The idea is that they'll be available as blind bags or the option to buy the whole set! I'll draw a little backdrop that I'll give out for free with every purchase hehe and Thinking about adding a special edition standee to the blind bags Of eowyn cooking stew with faramir trying to stop her throwing in 20 unpeeled onions hahaha
people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just
got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer
lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling
game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill
Ahhh my babies are finally here! They’ve been added to my Etsy. 3inches each and double sided with different expressions/sayings on either side. I love them!

I will have these at my Anime Boston 2022 table Artist Alley Q31!
