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.
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.

Yeah I know Dedra is a horrible person serving a fascist galactic regime, but mad respect to her for standing up for her autistic bf and putting his insufferable mother in her place. 💅✨
I honestly have no concrete opinion right now, I like letting all versions exist simultaneously for the most part. But other than the usual son or Fingon or Orodreth, some others I've heard, ranked on outlandishness:
Lalwen's son
Glorfindel's kid, where Glorfindel is in turn Lalwen's son
Son of Caranthir (sometimes +Haleth)
A random kid Círdan found in the trash and said "yeah, I can work with this"
Finduilas in disguise
Actually Círdan's kid somehow, not Noldorin at all, they're running a con
Either Eluréd or Elurín in disguise. Or both depending on the day.
A Maia who got bored
Two dwarves in a trench coat
The ambiguity is so funny I love it.
PLEASE send me ur who-is-gil-galad theories i am losing my absolute mind rn
Weird kind of validation to having to call a physical therapy session early for the third time in a row. I got a cold a couple weeks ago so my heart rate is still being even stupider than usual. It's incredibly frustrating obviously, but it's also honestly nice to see some stats clearly representing a problem after my doctor refused to refer me to a cardiologist for more testing because he ran a preliminary test wrong 🙃
Also got told I should be walking less to recover unfortunately. I need to PACE and go for WALKS. Real stupid I think.
That's awesome 😂 It really is so perfect!
