Rings Of Power Meme Dump Part 4!

sometimes i question whether im actually ace or not and then i see allo ppl talking and go "oh. oh god yea definitely ace"

2 other things i really love from this translation of finrod song battle!!!

1) the use of "a lo lejos" (far away) to describe nargothrond, and in the next line the use of "mucho más lejos" (much farther away) to describe the western sea. it feels to me like an emphasis on how far from home finrod is in this moment. its very bittersweet to me

2) "EL VIENTO SE LAMENTA" FOR "THE WIND WAILS." ALSJAKDHSHJAH. ok let me explain. this is the first phrase following the description of the kinslaying at alqualondë. yes lamentarse can technically be translated as to wail but it also has an obvious connection to lament, regret, grief, and so on. much more powerful i think in this context (probably not intentional but i could also connect this to manwë mourning the fall of the noldor and the slaying of the teleri...... just saying)

For @aspecardaweek: Day Seven: Freeform

Elrond....was as noble and fair as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer.

Me literally anytime I go on Ao3

Rings of Power meme dump part 8!

I really like this, I once explained QPRs as looking at the rules for established relationship types and saying "No, we don't like those," and then building your own relationship, taking pieces you like, leaving what you don't, and even adding your own stuff if you want, to make a new thing that works for you.

i keep seeing misinformation about this, so: queerplatonic relationships do not have a set definition. the name comes from the idea that it's "queering" the platonic relationship, tailoring it to the individual relationships' own desires. it isn't necessarily romance lite, but it also isn't necessarily whatever definition you want to impose on it. the point of queering the platonic relationship is to break away from strict allonormative views on friendship, romance, and sex, not to make a new categorical box to fit in.

the answer to "what is a qpr?" is "whatever you want it to be." sometimes that is romance lite. sometimes it's a deeply committed friendship. sometimes it's friends who have a sexual relationship. sometimes it's based on an entirely different mode of attraction. sometimes it's fluid and impossible to put into words. it's whatever you want it to be. it's queer.

Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings is Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives!

requested by anon!

Wanted to share this edit I made a while ago for Elendil and Míriel. I'm not one for romantic subplots but I liked the writing for them. The song is The Diving Bell by my beloved The Crane Wives.

It is the first edit I've made, so any thoughts are welcome :)

I think some of the audio clips are spaced out too much, I'd do it a little differently now.

I've also got a few more thoughts on tRoP Crane Wives edits I may get to at some point.
