I’d like to propose a toast!
my first art of 2018 was a big illustration of this group not too long after they all met, so it feels fitting to end the year with the same party, and a day after we finished their journey and wrapped up their campaign
Further travels in the last sea: starlight singing
It seemed, some nights, that the stars were singing. This is not a figure of speech; there was music coming from among the stars, echoing down into the luminous night. “It does make sense, I suppose,” Eustace remarked, “seeing as they are people with mouths and voices, and we are rather nearer them now than…” he trailed off. People often trailed off speaking, in the last sea.
Lucy liked best to listen from the archers’ forecastle, laying on her back wrapped in a blanket (although it was not particularly cold). Often, Edmund would join her, or Reepicheep. Occasionally, Caspian and Eustace made appearances too. Listening to the stars was a quiet affair, for the stars’ voices were soft even in the hush of night. No one spoke, and scarcely did they move. Yet one night, lying in her blanket between Edmund and Caspian, Lucy sighed aloud to no one in particular, “Oh, but I do wish we knew a few of their songs!”
The silence returned for a long while, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten Lucy’s outburst, until Edmund softly began to sing. It was a song of Old Narnia, which the dryads used to sing in Midwinter; a song of starlight falling among leafless branches. Lucy joined him a few moments later, for she also remembered the song. They sang together, softly so as not to drown out the voices of the stars. The others sat rapt, transfixed by music which might otherwise have been rather ordinary, but which in that moment seemed the very song of light itself.
At last, the song ended, and Edmund and Lucy fell silent. The stars seemed to quiver, and Lucy rolled over onto her side to give Edmund a smile and to reach for his hand. Caspian began to speak, perhaps to ask a question about where the song had come from, when all at once Reepicheep’s small voice cried out, “Listen!”
It was their song, sung back to them by the stars as they whirled and glittered in the heavens. The words were not the same; indeed, Lucy could not say later if there were truly any words at all. Yet the melody was unmistakably the one which Edmund and Lucy had sung, and the image it called to mind was that of tree branches, bare of their leaves, and the joy of starlight as it found them.
In regards to what happened yesterday (Jan 6th 2020), Rep. Cori Bush is calling for signatures to hold those at fault accountable for the coup. They’re very close as of 8:30 AM EST, but you can sign here.
NON AMERICANS: PLEASE DO NOT SIGN. THIS NEEDS AMERICAN SIGNATURES ONLY. PLEASE GO DONATE TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND PEOPLE IN NEED. DO NOT FAKE A NAME AND ZIP CODE. /srs
Please reblog this. This legislation is horrifying.
People in badly written fantasy stories will usually talk about the major historical events of their world and how magic has affected the lives of everyone, but ask a person in the real world to describe the effects of WWI and the invention of the combustion engine on modern life and they’d probably couldn’t tell you.
Broke: every character seems to know everything about the history and lore of the world
Woke: most characters can’t tell you much besides the basics but there are some that can tell you more complete but specific parts
H Y P E R W O K E: Every character tells you a wildly different version of the past and what effects it has on the present, ranging from the government is an imperialist, colonizing body obsessed with power to the one true ruler was sent by the gods and has smote down anyone who got in his way to “Oh you mean Jeff, the quote unquote tyrant of the west? I knew that guy! He was alright, never did anything wrong really just wanted some soup.” And there’s no way to tell what actually happened
I like your thinking

❗ATTENTION❗
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING JULY 4TH -7TH
PEOPLE OF THE BLM MOVEMENT ARE TRYING TO CAUSE AN ECONOMIC BLACKOUT THAT WOULD COST THE GOVERNMENT AROUND 3.5 BILLION DOLLARS!
❗SPREAD THE NEWS❗
(6/2/2020)
Does this include small, family owned businesses? Because if so, that's gonna fuck over a lot of people. Corporations I get, but some people are literally just trying to survive.
I feel bad for the family owned businesses during this time.
yeahletstalkgovernment
The boycott excludes small family own businesses and black owned organizations!
My first post was misleading and I've been reblogging a lot of people who corrected me and have more sources!
Ulmo by Nisachar
It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.

I drew a sad Sans, but felt the instant need to cheer him up! What better than the Great Papyrus’s ultimate hug.
I’m done seeing nazi faces all over the internet. I prefer images of the resistance.
So I've been working on this image for like a solid 60 odd hours. Anyway, Fjord and Caduceus, Followers of the Wildmother. I love this whole story arc, it's so great.
Do not repost my art anywhere. Reblogs are love.
So, our “Lung” is on fire.
It is already threatened by huge deforestation, to the point it lost 20% of its width in less than 30 years.
It’s been burning for around two weeks and almost no word has been uttered about it. I, sincerely, have come to find out about it just now. I’m shooketh ™️ because we’re really burning away this planet.
The Amazon Rainforest holds 20% of global waters, it’s an area of incredible value in terms of biodiversity and, nevermind, it’s a crucial climate regulator. Spread awareness, demand help.
Add on:
THIS IS NOT A NATURAL FIRE: farmers (presumably) set fire to the forest for political reasons — capitalism is demanding new cultivable fields;
Indigenous people are known to live in the rainforest (1 million people) ;
No, the forest won’t grow back like California Forest did/is doing.
Favorite MCU ladies as voted by my followers : #1 ↳ Carol Danvers “I have been fighting with one arm tied behind my back. What happens when I’m finally set free.”
Every person in a position of political power should have their daily needs matched to the lowest class of their country.
You make $6 an hour now, Mr. Congressman, and you’re not allowed to sit down or take breaks during your 7.5 hour daily shift. If you don’t like that, then you’re welcome to make some changes
This.
i’ve never understood being able to enact laws that will never impact you
It legitimately works. When politicians chose to live on the food stamp budget for their state they worked to increase the allotment after only a week of living that way.
And honestly? It should include having to spend time living on disability, navigating their district in a wheelchair, and taking public transit.
These people should have to live with their choices the same way they force us to live with them.

Final Memory
(made this for a convention’s art contest)
hot take: Pippin is the only one of the hobbits who is ‘team Arwen’ in the ‘who is the most beautiful woman in the world’ argument
Pippin, after being formally introduced to Arwen for the first time: hey Merry. do you think if I asked nicely enough she’d marry me instead?
Merry: Pippin. *lays a comforting hand on his shoulder*
Merry: I think it is worth a shot.
Pippin: got it *wanders away*
Frodo: why would you do that
Merry: I want to see if he’ll really try it
#PIPPIN: IF I BEAT STRIDER IN ROCK PAPER SCISSORS CAN I MARRY YOU INSTEAD? #ARWEN: UHHHHHHH #PIPPIN: GREAT! BRB
Aragorn accepts the challenge knowing full well that, as he can literally read minds, it is impossible to beat him at rock paper scissors.
Aren’t you forgetting the minor detail that Pippin would likely never think of which one he will throw?
consider: Aragorn accepts the challenge assuming he’ll win easily. Pippin wins immediately.
Arwen: well, now I must marry him. we ageed.
Pippin: :D
Aragorn: Arwen please
Arwen: I love my tiny fiance
I love it
Elrond: I don’t like it either but you agreed that if he beat you in fair combat then he could marry Arwen
Elrond: so now my daughter must marry this hobbit
Arwen: I’m comfortable with that
Aragorn: please this isn’t funny
Arwen: you should have thought of that before you accepted the challenge, I’m engaged to Pippin now.
Pippin: listen I know this isn’t actually going to end with me marrying you but this is still the best day of my life so far
