Aulë: You want to forge with these nails???
Mairon: (holds up his hand, displaying his long, golden, claw-like nails) These ARE forged, Aulë
Aulë: But- wouldn’t they get in the way of your work??
Mairon: ( Starts clacking the nails together ) Listen, if I can’t slay while working as well, then what am I to do?
sorry if I blocked someone with too attractive profile pic - but sex bots are driving me insane
love the feeling when you find a fic that’s super long and ticks all your boxes and is really well written and has you looking forward to continuing to read every time you have to stop .
hate the feeling when you finish the fic and nothing else hits quite right anymore because you want to read exactly the same thing but without knowing the whole plot.
Sign ups are now actually functioning!

And now the website should even link to the correct forms, too, yay xD

"About a thousand years," Thranduil’s casual comment made Isildur nearly choke on his gulp of wine.
