Aredhel-erinti - Tears Unnumbered Ye Shall Shed...

The end of Infinity War killed all the giant pandas.

Face it: with their luck there is no way they survived.

(The amphibians are probably also dead.)

mutuals try this: reblog for fingolfin. like for finarfin

I really want to join in the thanks to all of you (you know who you are ;))!!! It was an incredibly kind and beautiful gesture and trust us, all of Falešné Společenstvo was in awe. It was really amazing and the best possible reward after our performance.

It's quite difficult for me to grasp that someone who doesn't speak czech would be interested in our work, let alone put so much work to the translating of our strange language, so all of this is quite surreal. But it's a great encouragement to keep going. :) Thank you!

As a member of Falešné společenstvo I have to thank all the people from Tolkien musical fan group. You can’t even imagine how much this means to me (and I think it’s the same for other members of FS too). I almost cried when you gave us the flowers and the “letter”… Gosh, It’s so beautiful. 

This year was especially challenging. Many of us think we were cursed and our journey is painfully similar to Enchanted Isles. Even a few hours before the Tolkiencon premiere there were so many things that went wrong (e.g. broken car and keyboard stand) and I don’t even talk about cast changes because of illnesses… 

After all those years I’m a little bit burnt out (even though compared to some other members I don’t even do a quarter of their work) and I was even feeling like quitting. Of course, I didn’t mainly because well… without a very good reason, you can’t quit a few weeks before the premiere. But the other reason was that there are people outside the traditional visitors of Tolkiencon, who enjoy our work on its own, and who even want to travel from other countries just to see us. You guys are one of the few reasons, why I had a will to continue and a will to try to deliver the best possible performance. (Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best performance. Acting and singing in the gym are very hard because of the people who sit a few meters before you and you can look directly to their faces… I really wish you could see our unofficial performance last week. It is always in a little theatre and probably because of that this, performance is very often better than the premiere one).

So, thank you so so much again. You are really amazing. And I truly hope our play was worth your journey and you have enjoyed your stay at Tolkiencon and Prague…

@ the Silmarillion fandom:

I want to see how many of us there are and it’s been a few months since one of these last went around. I know some people have joined/started making content in that time, and I’d like to include them in this. So I’ll start:

@sengawolf @erudammit @kanawolf @kanafiinwe @faewisteria @darksabreassassin @filmamir @son-of-maglor @actualelffucker @goodguymaeglin @belekoroz @fratboy-of-orome @feanoriansappreciation @gloomycamomile @alia-andreth @dragonofmordor @magic-from-the-ordinary @greenwoodthegreat @seven-sons-of-feanor @chiefcouncilor-erestor @shineoftherainbow @cataclysmofstars @tyelperinquar @malachiteart @quinngrey @burdenedwithgloriousfandoms @theoriginaldrink @norse-potato @swilmarillion

When you have shawarma and whiskey on the same day and you feel like Tony Stark.

One thing I really love about Genshin Impact is its lore. Someone (I don’t remember exactly who, but I think it was My Name for Now) perfectly expressed one of the main reasons why I’m so obsessed with this game (paraphrasing):

“GI is an archaeological game. Secrets slowly reveal themselves as you walk through the world and explore it, but that doesn’t mean the information is true – the unreliable narrator plays a huge role here. The information isn’t always accurate.”

Which isn’t exactly unique… as far as I know, many games work on this principle… but what makes it the ultimate ideal for me is the combination of various philosophies, religions, cultures, and even physics that shape this lore. I love digging into it, and I love when the story puzzles connect, for example, through real religions or philosophical concepts.

And that’s exactly why I always enjoy and care more about the main world quests (which often belongs to a new region) than the Archon quest itself… And what I love the most about these world quests are the stories of the so-called god-kings. The story about King Deshret is amazing… the story about Remus is even more amazing… and now? We have the story about Och-kan (who is not a god-king sensu stricta, I guess, but he has a similar poor little meow meow vibe as the previous two).

I was so taken by the story that I had to draw him… His design is based on the murals in the Ochkanatlan. I love these idiots so much that I’m thinking about drawing all of them (including Decarabian).

Dneska má děda 97 let.

To je člověk, který poznal všechny hrůzy jak Stalinova, tak našeho socialistického režimu. Člověk, kterému zastřelili tátu během stalinistických čistek, který zažil Holodomor, nacistickou okupaci Ukrajiny, před 18. narozeninami byl odveden do Rudé armády (naštěstí se mu podařilo dosáhnout převelení do Československé zahraniční armády), přežil Duklu, zažil odsun sudetských Němců (včetně svého nenarozeného nemanželského syna) a celých těch 40 let hnusu co následovalo. A žil dost dlouho, aby se dožil i té srandy, co nabízí krásná 20. léta 21. století.

A teď by chtěl smartphone se sluchátky, aby na něm mohl poslouchat zprávy, ač neovládá ani svého aligátora s tlačítky velikosti mlýnských kamenů, a nikdo z nás mu to nedokáže rozmluvit...

Silmarillion fandom: 5 or 6 people doesn’t mean everybody. Everybody means everybody

I watched the Czech Silmarillion musical, and I LOVED IT!! Here's some of my favourite bits (though not all, this thing has a lot of gems, please check it out.)

Also, I decided to start posting my art on this account, rather than only on @evil-crayon , since this way, more of my mutuals actually see it.I'll make that same announcement over there too and then repost my old art from there here.
