Bit obscure, but here’s some Silmarillion art. Been reading it again and the image of Oromë has really stayed with me.
“And Oromë tamer of beasts would ride too at whiles at the darkness of the forests… and his white horse Nahar shone like silver in the shadows. … But even as Oromë passed the servants of Melkor would gather again; and the lands were filled with shadows and deceit.”

This is Seahenge, also known as Holme I, an early bronze age momument located in Norfolk, England. It consists of a timber circle with an upturned oak trunk in the centre.
So, I’m thinking of migrating my art livestreams over to Twitch, but this puts me in a bit of a difficult position because I know a lot of you tune in for my music selections, and Twitch doesn’t let you stream copyrighted music.
I have a few choices available; one is to obviously just stream in silence and everyone can listen to their own music, another is to try and find playlists online of tolerable tunes, and another is to maybe go live with my shitty microphone and my nasal, Idaho-accented, real ass human voice, and just whinge about fandom and make bad puns and answer Tolkien questions and stuff for three to five hours… With long periods of tablet sounds and my upstairs neighbors clunking about.
Do y’all have an audio preference for livestreams? Like, are you usually staying for the art, the chat, or for background noise/activity while you work on something else? What do you think would be the best option for me?
