buying a second hand book & being able to see underlined quotes from the previous owner is so cool. you found that line life changing? moving? earth shattering? … being able to see what has caught someone else’s eye when you may not even have noticed it is truly something

Could we please have a Feanturi week, or day, or something? A dedicated day to the Feanturi and works about them? Reblog if you agree.

not to throw myself into discourse or anything but fandom went downhill the moment fans began holding up fandom content to mainstream content standards

The late 18th century/ the Regency Period is always a fun one. Though honestly, sticking Maglor in during any of the years of the whole Romantic movement is a thing I am Here For. Imagine it, Maglor hanging out with Blake, Maglor hanging out with Coleridge, Maglor hanging out with Byron.

Tudor England feels kinda like a requirement, of course, Because you gotta have him checking out a Shakespeare play or two. I can’t help but think he’d identify particularly strongly with Hamlet

 I’d gotta say any time from the 50′s on through to the 90′s are also fun, because the Elven Rockstar following Rock history is just a Thing I Need, but Especially the 80′s.  Maglor had a goth phase, fite me.

Favorite periods for a historical Maglor?

(Some) Of Fantasy’s Many Subgenres

(science fiction version)

In honor of Lord Byron’s birthday I would like to remind you all of the time that Shelley and Keats, having not heard from him for some time, became concerned for his safety and it was determined that Shelley would go looking for him. Keats received a letter some time later that Shelley had found him in Venice, where he’d been having so much sex that he’d nearly died from malnourishment and dehydration. Keats’ entire response amounted to essentially, “You should probably have let him.”
