Attention Middle Earth Fans!

Please check out this Kickstarter for a travel show wherein the host, Mary Kate Wiles, will be traveling to at least 3 different houses in the US wherein the owners have made them look like Hobbit houses. There are many more than you might think!

There's a pilot episode available on Mary Kate's YouTube channel right now! Link to that right here! It has classic Travel Channel vibes, particularly reminiscent of Samantha Brown to me personally.

And if Mary Kate looks familiar to you, it's because in addition to being a known immense Tolkien fan, she's also an actress! You may know her from

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Spies Are Forever

Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story

And more! This is a passion project for her and I think it's a really cool one. I know I'd love to stay in a Hobbit house someday and it'll be nice to know what I'd be getting into if I did. Please consider checking out the Kickstarter and supporting it if you can!

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Does anyone else consider certain tv shows as happening in the same universe? For instance, I always think that Grantchester and Endeavour occupy the same universe, with Granchester obviously coming a bit before in the 1950s. Or Father Brown (2013-) and Miss Marple (2004-2013) are both simultaneously snooping around solving mysteries in different parts of England. Agatha Christie's Poirot and The House of Eliot definitely share a timeline too.

#also maybe dr finlay (1993-1996) and all creatures great and small (2021-)??? #id love to know if other people do this too #this might just be me noticing similarities in production values #period dramas #period drama #tv shows #murder mystery #british television #detective shows #miss marple #agatha christies poirot #grantchester #father brown #endeavour #dr finlay #all creatures great and small #the house of eliot

If you like taking polls, I also have 11 polls or so about Gaiman's characters, a few polls on Austen's stuff and more on Shakespeare, gothic works and comics (again, see my 'polls' tag).

Maybe I'll do other polls with other Christies too, mention your favorites if they're not here.

Dead Girl Walking - Targaryen, Velaryon, Rivers x F!Reader Modern College AU

Warnings: Murder, dead dove possibly? non con kissing,

A/n: I made this in mind that Luke is 18 in this, there is nothing between him and reader ever he’s just there to move the plot along.

***********

“Come on Y/n, you'll have fun and get to make new friends!” Aegon asks a shy and timid Y/n. She's shifting back and forth on her feet.

“I-I don't know Aegon, I mean we barely know each other. Besides, I don't think you guys would really want me to hang around you.” she says while pulling her bag on her shoulder.

“Look, just come for 15 mins if you hate it i'll take you home myself and you can forget everything about me and the rest of the guys. Deal?” he asks with a smile that makes the girl thinks about it, reluctantly she decides to go with him to his car.

“Fine, just 15 mins then.”

“Perfect! Let's head to my car then.” he says while opening the classroom door.

*TIME SKIP*

“Guys I've brought a special guest with me to today's activities” Aegon says while walking up with a shy Y/n behind him. She eyes the guys, some of them she has in her classes while some she's seen around campus.

“Hi, I’m Y/n” she says while timidly waving to them.

“Well hello there, my name is Jace but you can just call me your boyfriend” Jace say coming up to her with a beer in hand. She could smell the alcohol on his breath.

“Uh”

“Leave her alone cousin” a man much taller than Aegon came up to the girl next and began to drag Jace away. “My name is Aemond by the way”.

“Come on and meet the rest of our group, ” Aegon said, grabbing her hand hard.

“Hello, my name is Alys Rivers” said a girl Y/n thinks she’s seen around campus. She smiled back, her nerves calming down a bit. “We have biology together right?”

“Yes, I sit in the back next to the window,” she says, looking away.

“Here this will help you” Aegon says while holding out a beer for her.

“Thank you” she says while taking a sip of her drink, the liquid tasting bitter, she makes a face causing the two other boys to laugh a bit. She smiled again and took another, this time it went down easier. Soon the bottle is empty and she asks for another.

“Hi, i don't think i’ve introduced myself, my name is Helaena, i think we have dance class together?” a literal ball of sunshine sits next to her on her left side.

“Yeah! You are such a great dancer! The way you move is incredible!” She takes a big sip of beer. She looks up and sees a familiar face. The boy she's seen at the library late at night. She never thought she would see him here of all places, to her he seemed like someone who would pick studying over hanging out with friends. She thinks his name is Luke.

As time goes on, she gets drunker and more vulnerable.

“I’m going to be right back, I have to pee” she says as she gets up from sitting by the fire pit. She stumbles as she walks towards the woods making sure that she has privacy.

When she finishes she turns and sees Aegon, she's startled.

“Ah Aegon, what are you doing here”

“Well you were taking a long time so I came to check on you to make sure that you were ok.” he says with a gentle smile.

She smiles back.

“Alright well we should head back then”

“One question, do you like me Y/n?”

“Uh, what? What made you ask me that?” she said, stepping forward.

“Just answer the question.” he says

“Um, no, I hardly know any of you so I couldn't possibly say that I like you.” she says.

He presses his lips against her in a sloppy drunk kiss. She shoves him off.

“Aegon you're drunk! Fuck off!”

He doesn't like the feeling of rejection, he is the most popular guy at Westeros University after all and no one rejects him. Y/n begins to walk back toward the other group of guys when Aegon comes from behind her and strikes her in the back of the head. She falls to the ground lifeless. Seeing what he's done snaps him out of his drunken stupor, he runs back to his friends.

“You guys, I've done something horrible.” he says, sobbing into his hands.

“What did you do? Where's Y/n?” Aemond says getting up from his seat and running towards the way his brother had come from. Moments later he comes back with Y/n in his arms. He gently lays her down.

“What the fuck did you do Aegon!” Aemond says angrily.

“I-I kissed her and she pushed me away and I just picked up a rock and hit her.” he admits and the others look disgusted.

“Is she still breathing?” Helaena asks, looking in between her brothers and a girl she'd only met.

“Barely,” Aemond says, placing his ear near her mouth.

“Well, we have to do something. Luke, do you still have those ropes in your car and Jace do you still have the cinder block from when you worked at your fathers construction site?” Alys asks both boys who knod in response.

“What the hell are you going on Alya!” Aemond says looking panicked.

“She's as good as dead anyway, that head wound is serious. Besides, it's either she lives and tells the cops what Aegon did or we protect your brother.” She says while Luke and Jace come back with the supplies.

Jace goes over to Y/n and begins tying the cinder blocks around her ankles.

“Come on, we just drop her body in the lake and no one will find her because you yourself said she's a loner and has no one, not even a family. That is the reason you brought her here tonight.” Alys says while she and Helaena pick up Y/n’s body and carry it to a nearby bridge.

Just as they are about to drop her Y/n wakes up.

“What are you doing? Why am i tied up.” she says looking around and seeing she's in Alys and Heleama’s arms. “If this is about Aegon I promise not to tell anyone. Please don't do this to me!'' She turns to look at Aegon and Aemond for help but they look down in shame. Her face drops and tears begin to fall from her eyes. “Fuck you, Aegon Targaryen,” is the last thing to come from her mouth when shes dropped into the water.

“No one speaks of this ever. We all take this to our graves.” Aemond says while walking away.

*TIME SKIP 1 Year Later*

One year has passed since the incident as the group called it. Aegon still has nightmares about that night. The others are all dealing with it in their own ways. However, the fact that they killed an innocent girl eats at them a little each day.

Today is the first day of spring semester and they are in the back corner talking amongst themselves when a girl rushes into the classroom just as the bell rings.

“Welcome students to the first day of the spring semester.” The teacher says in the front of the class, “Before we begin, I would like to ask our new transfer student to introduce herself.”

The girl who rushed in at the last minute stands up and when she faces the class the group in the back lose all color in their faces.

“Good morning all, my name is Y/n and i am happy to be here. Thank you.” she says and returns to her seat.

The teacher began the lesson and the girl in front turns her head to face the 6 friends and smiles gently at them.

A few moments pass and Y/n gets up from her seat and walks toward the back where the pencil sharpener is but drops a note in front of the group before she does.

“You know when you're drowning you don't actually inhale until right before you black out, the instinct to not let any water in is so strong that you wont open your mouth until you feel like your head’s exploding. You're all going to pay for what you did to me” - Y/n

Villisca Axe Murder House

Past midnight on June 10, 1912 a horrific crime was committed that remains unsolved today. Villisca, Iowa at the turn of the century was the typical peaceful American small town.

June 9th was a Sunday and Josiah “Joe” Moore a Villisca businessman accompanied his wife, Sarah, and their 4 children, Herman 10, Katherine 10, Boyd 7, and Paul 5 to the local Presbyterian churches’ Children’s Day service. The Moore children among other Sunday school attendees performed speeches and recitations.

It was a special night made more exciting by the fact that two neighbor children, Lena 12 and Ina Stillinger 8 attended with the family and were given permission to go home with the Moore children for a sleep over.

The church service ended around 9:30 p.m. and the Moore’s and their 2 guests walked home. The children were treated to milk and cookies and then put to bed for the night.

The church service was the last time these 8 people were seen alive. Even today not all the facts are known including who committed the murders. Tragically, sometime between midnight and the early morning hours each person sleeping in the Moore house was brutally murdered.

Two cigarette buttes where found in the home’s attic so it is speculated that the murderer or murderers waited in this room until the family returned and settled in for the night.

The following morning an elderly neighbor, Mary Peckham became concerned when at 7:30 a.m. the Moore house was unusually quiet and deserted. Joe’s brother Ross arrived and spotted two figures in the back bedroom covered with a sheet–he also saw blood.

The town’s Marshall, Hank Horton was sent for and he announced that there was “somebody murdered in every bed.” The murder weapon an axe that had been partially wiped clean was found leaning against the wall in the back downstairs bedroom.

Horton had found the two Moore adults and the six children all in bed, they were covered with bedclothes. Each of their skulls had been bludgeoned 20 to 30 times with the blunt end of the axe.

The Reverend Lyn George Jackline Kelly was tried and acquitted twice for the murders of the Moore family and the Stillinger girls.

In the early morning following the murders he boarded a train in Villisca headed westbound. He allegedly told his fellow travelers that there were 8 dead souls back in Villisca–butchered in their beds as they slept. At the time he made this statement the bodies had not yet been found.

Kelly had arrived in Villisca for the first time on the Sunday morning of the murders. He had attended the Sunday school performance given by the children. Two weeks later he arrived in Villisca again. He posed as a detective and joined a tour of the murder house with a group of investigators.

The authorities initially became interested in him several weeks later after being alerted by several people who had received “rambling letters” from him.

Kelly was the son and grandson of English ministers. He suffered a mental breakdown while still in adolescence. After immigrating to America he had preached at several Methodist churches across the Midwest.

At the time of the Villisca murders he was preaching in several small Iowa towns just north of Villisca. He had developed a reputation for “odd behavior.” He had been convicted of sending obscene material through the mail and had been committed to a mental hospital for a time.

In August, two months after the murders Kelly signed a confession to the murders. He stated God had whispered to him “suffer the children to come until me.”

During his trail Kelly recanted his confession–eleven of the twelve jurors acquitted him. A second jury was convened and Kelly was acquitted again in November.

Several bizarre items where left at the murder scene. The first was a 4-pound piece of bacon that was found propped against the wall next to the axe.

The murderer had taken items from the bedroom dressers and covered all the mirrors in the home. He also covered the entry doors. He left a plate of uneaten food on the kitchen table along with a bowl of water stained with blood.

Some speculate that the murders were actually done by a serial killer. At the time of the Villisca murders over the course of two years from 1911 to 1912 at least 20 other people had been bludgeoned to death with an axe across the Midwest–none of these crimes were ever solved.
