mae govannen tumblr. I’m a dumbass who spends way too much time thinking about middle earth. also expect to find here a disorganized smattering of lefty politics, surreal humor, high fantasy, mythology, heavy metal, and whichever blorbos are taking up space in my brain at the moment

I reblog art on a queue to help increase its lifespan. I only support human artists, let me know if I accidentally reblog ai generated “art”

in may I was diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer. I’m still recovering from a major surgery and the effects of some heavy painkillers so bear with me if I act disoriented

also I did the cool kids thing and made a carrd

1. the character everyone gets wrong

oh boy this could be a lot of characters. but I’ve gotta go with Elwing, she has the most grating characterization in the fandom. no, tumblr, Elwing was not an abusive mother, there’s absolutely nothing in canon that suggests anything remotely close to that. also the people who shame her for being driven to suicide while simultaneously praising Maedhros as a tragic woobie when he did the exact same thing

Certain Men suborned by Melko went among the camp as minstrels and betrayed it. Melko fell upon them at early dawn in a grey rain, and the terrible Battle of Unnumbered Tears followed, of which no full tale is told, for no Gnome will ever speak of it. (In the margin here my father wrote: 'Melko himself was there?' In the earlier outline Melko himself entered the camp of his enemies.)

In the battle Noleme was isolated and slain, and the Orcs cut out his heart; but Turgon rescued his body and his heart, and it became his emblem. Nearly half of all the Gnomes and Men who fought there were slain.

Men fled, and the sons of Urin alone stood fast until they were slain; but Urin was taken. Turgon was terrible in his wrath, and his great battalion hewed its way out of the fight by sheer prowess.

So. Headcanon that Turgon and Curufin both have significant damage to their hands - not enough to warrant a full amputation, but damage nonetheless.

Curufin’s hands and forearms have huge burn scars all the way up to the elbows, from holding on to his father’s body as he burned from the inside out. And Turgon is missing two full fingers and one cut off at the second knuckle, from holding onto his wife’s hands in the icy waters until she fell from his grasp.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

IT'S FINALLY HEEEREEEE! Lestat's Lover is a masc frame set (though most pieces will also fit the fem frame) inspired by vampiric and historic fashion with some spice.

All the pieces have a bunch of different beautiful swatches (btw I've added some more swatches so I advise my testers to redownload if they want em). They also have normal and specular maps. The Skull earrings have two versions with two different fits for the ear. There are also two version of the Enchained top; one using the bg nude top, one using @luumia 's BOD-E II lean. The accs lace top can be found in right wrist. Fantom mask is found in hats.

Blue eyes… limpid… ???

Hi my name is Cytherea “Dulcinea Septimus” Loveday and I have silky chestnut ringlets (that’s how I got my fake identity) that have been painstakingly curled to spread out over my shoulders and blue eyes that appear a limpid moonless purple and a lot of people tell me I look like the Duchess of Rhodes (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!).

It's very funny when people reading Gideon the ninth for the first time comment in confusion about how little people talk about "Dulcinea" but like. Actually we DONT talk about Cytherea enough.

Cytherea - who was dying for 10,000 years! Cytherea the miracle worker who was brought before God and he LIED to her and he told her and her friends they were doing the right thing and he WATCHED as they killed each other and he is DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN. Cytherea who is trying to get God's attention but who is also trying in her own monstrous way to be kind. They all have to die because /the only other option is to become what she is./ Of course Jeannemary and Isaac have to die. Isaac has to die because she can't let him kill Jeannemary. Jeannemary has to die because she watched Isaac die and Cytherea knows there's no coming back from that. Dulcinea HAS to die because the only other option is to suffocate slowly in her own cancer for 10,000 years and Cytherea /can't let her do that./ The fifth and the fourth and the sixth and the ninth - they ALL have to die because if she could go back that's what she would have wanted. They don't know it yet, but in 10,000 years, they'd want it too. She didn't take her chance to die when she had it. They don't know how lucky they are.

And Cytherea who put on airs of being petty and selfish meanwhile she gave herself away until there was nothing left. Cytherea who hated God because he took everything she had without blinking twice. Cytherea who said over and over "me, I will" and whose sisters and brothers died around her and who wouldn't let them forget about Loveday - who loved Loveday when they all hated her.

Cytherea who held Gideon in her arms while she was dying during the siphoning trial and told her "remember this feeling. Remember how much it hurts. And if anyone ever asks this of you, you have to remember and say no." Gideon, who reminded Cytherea so much of Loveday. Cytherea, who /asked that of Loveday./ And Gideon, who went out and /did it anyway./

Cytherea, at the end of everything, who NEEDS to kill Gideon and Harrow because they love each other and she can't let them get it wrong like she and Loveday did, who sees the skull they're hiding in open and sees Gideon's body and sees Harrow pick up that sword and has lost despite everything, and who finally gives up and lets them kill her.

TRUE CRIME PODCASTER: *in the same cadence you would tell a preschooler a bedtime story* ...and this guy was kinda freakin gross! He would hang his victims on meat hooks in his shack! I'm not gonna lie guys, that sounds pretty icky! Major red flag moment, LOL! But do you know who WOULDNT send you human organs? Our sponsor, HelloFresh!

LOST MEDIA YOUTUBER: *in the same cadence you would issue a debriefing on a terrorist attack* Number 7. The Oonglydoomples. *scary transition sound to slowed down footage of a kids show with a crt filter over it* The Oonglydoomples was a kids show on Nick Jr that ran from 2001 to 2003 that was about Jake Oonglydoomple's adventures in the big city. Only one episode of it has ever surfaced online. We have tried to get into contact with the shows creator, Mark Wankencock, but we've had no luck. Maybe someday, we'll all oonglydoomp once again.
