Moving back to my old blog hotchocolatedictator
My favorite Tolkien illustrations by Cor Blok in no particular order:
Bilbo and Gollum. Bilbo is the moon for some reason which is cool i guess
Smeagol and Deagol. I love the seaweed in the background, great attention to detail
Frodo serving Robin Hood-realness at his and Bilbo’s birthday party. Literally iconic
Isildur taking the ring from Sauron. Its great but I would like to see more of Sauron than just his hand, because I think he has the potential to look really cool
Pippin jumping into the bath at Crickhollow… no comment
Bilbo gives the Mithril coat to Frodo. Great poses, very stiff and awkward. I like it.
The fellowship. This one is a classic.
Gandalf and the balrog. Amazing
Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo. I love the way he reaches for his sword, it looks very natural
Merry and Pippin and Treebeard. I like his legs and the fact that it looks like he’s wearing shorts.
The battle of Helms Deep. This one is just great for a lot of reasons. I like how the orcs in the background are just happy and sad smileys. Gimli is throwing a rock at them. I don’t know who the guy with a red hat is in the background, but I love him.
Gandalf, Theoden, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli finding Merry and Pippin in Isengard ft fucked up Shadowfax. Look at them smiling!
Sam, Frodo and Gollum. Frodo got rid of his Robin Hood hat which is a shame, but Gollum with a beak makes up for it.
Eowyn protecting Theoden from the Witch King. The fellbeast is a crow or perhaps a raven. Merry is hanging on the side, stabbing Witch King in the leg and he looks amazing
Mt Doom. Frodo looks very chill about getting his finger bit off, and Sam is just kind of floating there. I love everything about Gollum
It was a cottage of questioning witches, research witches. Eye of what newt? What species of ravined salt-sea shark? It's all very well a potion calling for Love-in-idleness, but which of the thirty-seven common plants called by that name in various parts of the continent was actually meant?
The reason that Granny Weatherwax was a better witch than Magrat was that she knew that in witchcraft it didn't matter a damn which one it was, or even if it was a piece of grass.
The reason Magrat was a better doctor than Granny was that she thought it did.
Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if your takedown of conservative Christians involves calling Jewish beliefs archaic, calling our G-d wrathful or convoluted, or just implies in any way that bigotry is somehow less antithetical to Judaism because “Jesus is love”, it’s both incorrect and antisemitic. There’s people who still practice the “Old Testament” (the Tanakh) and some of them are queer, poc, disabled, etc.
All the patches I did for my Poser Jacket. This is the best thing I've ever thought of.
Here are (most) the designs in decent quality, feel free to steal them, feel free to make up your own in a similar style, feel free to show me, feel free to do whatever you want!!!!!
ya im complainiong about them i want the COOL PANTS not the MOM OF THE COOL PANTS
[ID: A drawing of 2 pairs of pants. The first, labeled, “cool pants brand,” shows a thin person in detailed and complex loose tripp pants with sparkles around them. The second, labeled, “+ their plus size line,” shows a plus size person in plain and undetailed form fitting pants with little drawings of poop around it. End ID.]
I am late to the Game Changer/Dropout bandwagon because my wife only just now started dating someone whose login we could steal. My current Autistic Hyperfixation that Will Never Be is a Taskmaster episode (or series) with Game Changer contestants.
Brennan getting into screaming matches with Alex Horne (by which I mean Brennan screaming and Alex being British) over ambiguously worded tasks. Grant trying to flirt more points out of Greg Davies. Some of the musically-inclined guests like Zach Reino being given one of the Taskmaster song assignments and absolutely slaying. Lou Wilson doing *literally anything* on that show.
It will never happen, and so I will ultimately go to my grave unfulfilled, but the fantasy is everything.
just had to reset my password on an account and you'll never guess what the first 3 letters of the temporary password they gave me were
get yourself a girlfriend who can carry the whole polycule
muscled!velma came to me after seeing this post bcs i thought "huh, velma must be pretty strong to carry 3 human beings and a great dane" so here we are.
[ID: two traditional drawings. In the first one, Velma is drawn with large muscles and is flexing one of her arms. She is in mustard and red work out gear with her brown hair tied up. In the second, Velma holds Fred, Daphne, Shaggy and Scooby in one hand, looking proud of herself. The rest of the gang look down at her, smiling. End ID.]
I had some leftover gifs from my gtkm project, so please enjoy this “Velma carries Everyone” compilation.
The categories are extremely arbitrary and most likely incorrect. Bare with it.

I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies
we need to bring back genderqueer and genderfuck, we need to pull the "wouldn't you like to know weather boy" labels off the shelves again
Boss's wife upon hearing I'm a medieval scholar: Isn't it crazy all the things medieval people thought would stop the plague?
Me: *Fighting all my devils & angels not to bring up that she drank horse antiparasitic last year.*
You’re a better person than I
Racism/appropriation of indigenous ppl is RAMPANT in the furry community so let me say some things:
STOP calling ur characters w*nd*g*s. You don’t even have to change the design, just stop calling them that. Call them like. Skull deer or some shit there is no reason for you to be using that word.
Stop using “spirit animal” in referral to ur fursona. This is obvious idk why it even needs to be said.
Stop making “two wolves inside you” jokes. The “two wolves inside you” is in reference to a racist made up native proverb from a white dude.
You aren’t appreciating cultures by doing things we tell u to stop. If you want to appreciate: buy from indigenous ppl, respectfully learn about cultures, listen to native people, and DON’T MAKE EXCUSES.
