So I made a snickers cheesecake. Except there's no snickers or cheese, and it's not a cake.
And this happened -
My flatmate: Goose, this is great! How did you get the filling so creamy?
Me, recalling the metric fuck ton of cream that went into this diabetic daydream: funny you ask, actually...
In fics, people often use the Quenya for adult male/female: 'the nér did this' or 'the nís said that' which is... fine, I guess? Tolkein did use them in some of his translations to mean man/woman in a non-species-specific kind of way... and this is completely irrational but to me it still sometimes comes across as directly calling someone a 'male' or a 'female'... like, technically, yes? But also wtf?
Anyway. Sindarin doesn't have a clear equivalent that I can see...
(Also nís is sometimes níssë - still singular, means exactly the same thing, idfk why)
Can 2025 maybe be the year we as a fandom finally stop using the term 'she-elf', which was invented for the Jackson movies and comes across as intentionally derogatory?
Tolkien himself referred to female elves as 'women' or 'elven-women' or similar.
Controversial Take: the whole 'chosen one' thing in the prequels is completely pointless, serves no narrative purpose that could not be easily filled by any number of other factors, and actually makes the films worse by being included but never actually explored in any meaningful detail other than the fact that it's just. kinda there.
...I'm not sure you get how this works...
you and me both, boba. you and me both
my roomkey stopped working in the middle of my midnight snack run to the flat kitchen, so guess who had to march two blocks down to site security at 2am in fucking January, -5C, in fucking ankle socks and t shirt?????
anyways currently googling frostbite symptoms because i cant feel my feet. if i die tell my parents i love them and my brothers to get fucked
Initial sketches of Erestor… plan to add colour at some point…
Top left: a peaceful moment.
Top right: the third kinslaying. Erestor is having the worst day ever.
Bottom left: he and Gil-Galad have a silent but very intense game of fashion one-upmanship going on, and Erestor plays to win. Courtiers swoon left and right. Sauron trembles before his resting bitch face.
Bottom right: casual mode. The hair hides secrets. 8,000 years of secrets, in fact.

The disdain, the eloquence - a masterful eyebrow raise!! He gets it from his dad 🥹
