So, this year I am again participating in the Tolkien Secret Santa and made this Varda for a really nice person, whose name I will say during the 24th December. But posting a bit early without the big reveal to… warm up the interest I guess?
so @nyolofinwe is having a bit of a medical emergency so I’m opening fic commissions at $1 per 100 words, including NSFW stuff. You can see examples of my work through my fic tag or by checking out my longer stuff on AO3.
Currently writing for: Tolkien fandom, JSMN, Elder Scrolls and TAZ.

Signal boosts are always appreciated!
the medical bills are piling up quickly so I am taking as many commissions here as I possibly can
Usually, when we think of gold, we think of a warm yellow color. But the Nahuange, who lived in northern Colombia during the first millenium CE, intentionally treated gold jewelry so that it looked pinkish orange. A recent study analyzed 44 Nahuange artifacts from the Museum of Gold in Colombia, and found that they were made from tumbaga, a gold alloy which contains a substantial percentage of copper. They were also all “depletion gilded” which means copper was removed from the surface through hammering, a heating and cooling process, or both. The result was a golden shine on the outside which hid the metal’s true high-copper content.
That gilding was later removed, on purpose, to bring the copper’s pinkish tones out. So initially, the jewelry makers desired golden objects, but at some later point, it was preferable to have pinkish-orange jewelry.
Nah; I think to be a furry there’s gotta be elements of wishful thinking, projection, imagination… that sort of stuff. She’s just a Maia with a bat-form; she doesn’t need to project her personality onto a bat-sona because she can literally BE a bat if she wants. That’s my hot take.
In that case, I’m wildly guessing at EITHER at least half whippet and most of the rest bullterrier, OR greyhound x JRT x bullterrier and taking after the JRT on size. Definitely some bullbreed from that round head, but I’m guessing not *that* much because head quite long. (I love the lurcher origins guessing game, it’s the best. 😀 ) .., ears look quite long? Maybe a teaspoon saluki or beagle?
I’d say that’s pretty spot on! The round head is pretty much the only bull characteristic she’s got, the rest is definitely all sighthound/terrier. She’s got extra skin around her neck like a bunchy scarf– i don’t know what breed that comes from; It’s like she was expecting about 50% more neck. XD She also trees squirrels and points like a champ, which I guess are behaviors that come pre-installed?
I hadn’t heard the term lurcher before, that’ll make describing her much more succinct!
