How old are you?:

What’s your aesthetic?:
Soft butch / neon femme / dark non-binary witch / smol rabbit
Do you collect anything?:
For a while everyone assumed I collected owls and spammed me with a shit ton of owl merch, which I don’t mind! But when left to my own devices I apparently collect financially-inadvisable amounts of Pote Usa Loppy plush.
What is a topic you’re always up to talk about?:
There’s nothing my spoony ass is up for talking about always, but I can generally open my mouth and vomit forth a continuous fountain of bees?
What’s a pet peeve of yours?:Angbang was a mistake.
Good advice to give?:
-Never go in tags. Why would you do that. It’s not safe in there and you know it.
-Fact check! Always! We are a sinful tribe on tumblr.com and we must change our ways. Make friends with google and learn to recognize reputable sources.
-Don’t give up even if it’s taking you a really long time, or you feel like people are leaving you behind; none of that matters. Your progress bar is your own.
Recommend three songs:
Strela– Arkona
Ampersandstorm–Maduro
Karangailyg Kara Hovaa– Yat-Kha
A food that’s nasty in your opinion: We’ve been over this: every time you eat a grapefruit you are rimming Satan’s bitter pink asshole.
Bangmar
Friend: WTF is “bangmar”
Me: It’s like Angbang, but for the goings on in Angmar and sometimes Mordor.
Friend: So, like, Nazgûl slash?
Me: You’re damn right Nazgûl slash
Friend: Did you make this up?
Me: As far as I know. In that context, at least.
Me: Who knows ¯(°_o)/¯
Friend: God you’re weird
Me: Bangmar is a thing/place, my friend, and I’m the Witch-King of it
Everyone in this fandom is very attractive and I’m angry?? >:

“Melkor, in the Spring of Arda, would hold Mairon in the palm of his hand when they spoke.” I think about this line a lot.
:‘3 thank!
I was having so much fun with the discussion of shipnames and nomenclature in general that I was rereading the Shibboleth, as one does when one wants to gird oneself with knowledge and pedantry and also smack oneself in the head a lot.
There are three things that give me much joy.
1.) We’ve spilled much ink arguing over Celegorm’s hair color, but after reading the discussion of Maglor’s name, I’m kind of surprised I haven’t found anyone arguing about his.
“Makalaure: Of uncertain meaning. Usually interpreted (and said to have been a ‘prophetic’ mother-name) as ‘forging gold’. If so, probably a poetic reference to his skill in harping, the sound of which was ‘golden’ (laure was a word for golden light or colour, never used for the metal).”
Sure, you could go for the poetic reference here, OR you could have a whole new hill to die on: the fact that the gold in his name references color and light, and the fact that other names in the family also indicated hair color, might denote that Maglor was a blond bitch, dudes.
I’m not going to argue this myself, but only because I don’t think he could pull it off.2.) And okay this isn’t news, but
“Tyelkormo ‘hasty-riser’. Quenya tyelka ‘hasty’. Possibly in reference to his quick temper, and his habit of leaping up when suddenly angered.”
plus “[Celegorm] Turkafinwe ’strong, powerful (in body)’. (Turko)”
means that we have canonically swole Celegorm, aka Bouncy McGee.
My protein-packed gymrat Celegorm is a FACT. Also he jump.
3.) And finally, apparently Aegnor’s name is not the actual perfect Sindarin form of his Quenya name – because there is no adjective in Sindarin nasty enough.
“There was no Sindarin adjective corresponding to Quenya aika ‘fell, terrible, dire’ though aeg would have been its form if it had occurred.”
This indicates two things to me. One: Aegnor def introduced himself to girls in Beleriand bars with ‘Lol yeah, you can call me Aegnor, but technically my name’s too badass for your language’ and two: Finarfin, gentle birbprince and bastion of diplomacy, literally named his son ‘THE HEIN FLAME’
Just an addendum that makes it even better in Aegnor’s case tbh: That is actually his mother-name! Earwen gives all her children the funniest names hahahaha
Earwen: *has a kid*
Kid: *is smol, splodgy, probably poos a little*
Earwen: HAIL AND WELL MET, IRON FIST
Earwen: go big or go home, little man
Both: *fist-bump*
Finarfin: *snaps a picture, wipes a tear*
teachers day: Daeron and a dwarf friend talking interesting Círth things
shout out to thorin oakenshield for getting lost in the shire not once, but twice
too majestic to ask for directions
Even the ring wraiths asked for directions.

Was going to be drawing something completely different, but my hand slipped.
He’s more like half-orc, really.
From the same setting as the dark elves. And thwacking people with the bat is a great workout. His momma wouldn’t approve though.
