How to find the racists in nerd culture

eshusplayground:

  1. Say, “I imagine [Tolkien character*] as [non-white ethnicity].”
  2. Wait.

*For best results, make said character an Elf.

Improved Formula!: Make them non-white and not skinny! Cut your waiting time in half! 

Can you imagine Sauron as leader of Uruk&Troll Circus in Shire? (as contestant of Gandalf) He can use Ring to gain invisibility as great clown.

:

………………

*rubs forehead* There are days when I feel as though I am already the ringleader of an Uruk circus…. But if I had my ring back, you can be assured, I would not use it to disappear.

♫ What was your very first fandom?

oh mygod u,,m…  like… maybe… dinosaurs

Either Ronan Warriors or Dragonlance XD 

I know Ronan Warriors was the first thing I ever read fanfiction for… (it blew my mind “LOOK MA, SOMEONE WROTE LIKE AN EPISODE THAT ISN’T AN EPISODE AND HAS THIS NEW CHARACTER IN IT, SHE’S DATING DAIS?? WHAT AM I SEEING HERE.” ) 

Dragonlance was definitely the most-discussed topic of the playground though, and the subject of much fanart. 

Idk, Sailor Moon was probably in that category too.

◆ If you had been born into your muse’s world, who would you be and what sort of life would you have?

Well… given that almost everyone in Middle Earth, including the humans, are healthier than I am currently, I’d say whatever I ended up as, I’d do a lot more running around and traveling than I do now. XD 
Other than that… I’d probably be doing the same things? Drawing, writing, poetry, philosophizing, staring at hotties…   Idk I’d probably be Khazad. Maybe orc? I’d make a fucking fantastic orc! UvU  I can’t see me being an elf, could you? 

♔ Out of all the ships that you have/have had with your muse, which one was the most unexpected?

WELL I WASN’T EXPECTING MOST OF THEM, TO BE HONEST XD

Manwë/Melkor was a surprise…. Melkor/Gildor was REALLY a surprise. Actually, Melkor/ANYONE was a surprise *COUGH* 

✉ What is your favourite bromance/friendship/non-romance relationship with your muse?

Ossë and Team Melkor! 😀 Also Maeglin/Sauron which is… complicated. Also Miriel/Melkor ;w;  All the surrogate-mom feels… 

**NOTE**  I am sort of tailoring my answers for roleplay threads… my answers are slightly different for my personal headcanons U3U

★ During your time with your muse, what has been your favourite thread? Holy shit you went right for the balls

GOD I’VE HAD SOME GOOD THREADS UUNNNGHHHFHH  
The bad apple verse between human!Melkor(razari) and Nerdanelistarnie got turned into its own archived post because I loved it so much, and in a similar vein I really, really enjoy the thread between Melkor and Miriel, which has been going since FOREVER. 
…I’m still trying not to cry too much over A New Shadow ‘verse. 
There have been a lot of classics that I’ve been inspired by and have recycled bits of into fics and comics. 🙂  
Currently, I’m super stoked about doing horrible things to nolikereally ’s Thranduil, and I’m enjoying the few threads I’ve started for my other muses as well. 

● Admit to three guilty pleasures and/or embarrassing facts about yourself

…Ah, so this is revenge. 

Okay so I have really, really good teeth that I ABSOLUTELY don’t deserve because I have the worst dental hygiene of anyone in my family. I just.. I FORGET A LOT, OKAY? also flossing what is that

I steal snacks. I am a snack thief. An expert snack thief, to be precise. And if I’m taking a shower at someone else’s house, chances are, I have sampled whatever fancy bath products are in reach. 

Naked blogging.
