Imagine if I told you I'm editing the final version of my first book... Ha! Get ready for the flood, though when that's going to be, I won't tell any of you yet! ;P

[jmwdoesthings]

my favorite thing about elves vs hobbits is their names. elves will be named things like “maiden with the moonlight woven in her hair” and then hobbits are straight up like oh yeah my names domble bingus rumbubo

gaston leroux being the most unserious writer moments in TPOTO:

-raoul scaling down a tree to see Christine while she’s roaming the moors at night mid breakdown

-one of the opera staff claims that christine has friends plotting against Carlotta, to which another staff member goes “christine has friends?”

-gaston describes a toad coming out of Carlotta’s mouth and then goes “lmao I’m just messing that didn’t actually happen” what a troll

-the unnamed narrator holding Richard’s hand for and I quote “a few minutes” because he saw the opera ghost and got scared

-raoul straight up crying during a performance because christine sounds nervous

The blurb, good people:

Victor Sparrow may have escaped his adversaries in Keswick High, but heaven knows if that was for the better. The Ridgerber Institution is in a state of anarchy. An insane terrorist mask mastermind knows all about him. Those of the stronger bloodlines keep trying to trap him in a birdcage, his cat keeps insisting he learns how to fire a musket, two of the highest ranking Intriguists in the country have just been drowned and he's trying to prevent everything from escalating whilst trying to uphold his father's legacy and learn Sixth Sense. He's fighting about seventy metaphorical tentacles all at once, some of them aren't even metaphorical, and it's not even his first week in the second dimension... It's going to take some effort to make it to the end of the school year alive... well, that and the FOUR PARAGONS OF INTRIGUE!

It's already Jan 14th of 2025! How time flies. Like light, and faster.

This year, I hope to finally bring the book I have been writing to you. I have had the idea since I was 15, and it's been quite a few years since then, two of which I have spent solidly working and re-working and re-working again. Now, I have six novels planned, one following the other. If you enjoy teenage boys causing mayhem in an Elite boarding school for boys, hierarchies, restoring the monarchy and saving the commonwealth, the boys ^TM, nobility, cigars, steampunk/sci-fi/fantasy environment, deep philosophical conversations, masculine physical and intellectual rivalry, intrigue, cloaks, and cracked professors, please do follow along. Oh, there's other dimensions and the fashion is centered around Victorian. There are a lot of elegant hats and watches.

I don't think it will disappoint. Hoo! Here we go.

Ah, and expect art on it. Poor Professor Snape will have to be pushed to the side for a moment... Unless he won't. On a side note... he'd get on with some of my professors quite well. Especially with the raven.

I'd appreciate your support, in whatever forms, and remind you that I do have a Ko-Fi that you can find pinned to the top of my blog. I'd love to quit my job and go full time as an author...

Best!

Feanor, stop, by JRR Tolkien

An alternative title for The Silmarillion

Ah, yes, a sibling relationship at its finest. Love them.

Eomer and Eowyn only talk to each other once in the films

but they communicate so much.

When Eomer first returns with a wounded Theodred, an entire dialogue is shared between Eomer and Eowyn without a single word passing between them.

This mutual look of concern, they're both on the same page.

Eowyn then goes on to look at Theodred's wound. It's interesting that Eomer now looks curious above all things, he's waiting on Eowyn's judgement.

Eowyn looks at the wound and grimaces. It's bad. Theodred isn't going to survive this.

She looks to Eomer, who looks back at her in grim resignation.

They go to Theoden to inform him of the situation. As Eomer walks by Eowyn, he doesn't speak to her or interrupt her, but he puts his hand on her back as he passes. Even when the focus is on other things, he is giving her that gesture of support and fondness. That it is done without fanfare shows that this sort of affection is commonplace.

They both stand before the throne, both of them united in their attempt to reach through to their uncle. They're a team, a unit.

Eomer throws down proof that Saruman, who Grima is trying to protray as a friend to Rohan, is sending his soldiers to terrorise their people.

Eowyn gives Grima a death glare, challenging him to refute her brother's accusations. She's on Eomer's side, Eomer's team.

Eomer sees Grima looking at Eowyn, and knows what he wants. It fills him with fury.

Eowyn sees her brother choking Grima against the wall. She looks on in cold silence, then walks away.

When Aragorn reveals that the beacons have been lit, Eowyn rushes into the throne room, drawing to a stop at Eomer's shoulder. They wait together for Theoden's judgement.

When it comes, and Theoden sends Eomer to muster the troops, Eomer bows, but even before he has fully straightened up, his eyes go to his sister.

Again, no words exchanged, simply a look of common understanding. They both know what the risks are, they both know what is at stake, for the world, for their country, for their family.

Before Eomer leaves, he touches Eowyn's arm, before walking away.

With Eomer gone, we see a steely determination come into Eowyn's eyes. Now there's something Eomer's missing, now Eomer's back is turn and there's something about sister that she's keeping from him. She's riding to battle.

The one time they speak to each other, they're in opposition. About Merry, about Eowyn, about war.

The words are harsh. Eomer is stern, Eowyn is defensive.

But Eomer puts his hand on Eowyn's shoulder. He doesn't say "I don't want you to get hurt, I don't want you in battle", but that hand on her shoulder, tells the audience that's exactly what he's saying.

Those small moments of physical affection culminate in one great moment, when stern, stoic Eomer discovers Eowyn on the battle field, and breaks down in tears, cradling her and rocking her like she's a child.

And his devotion to her ultimately shown in him sitting small and hunched, tucked in on himself, crouching down in armour for what seems to have been a lengthy space of time, as he sits by her side, waiting for her to be healed.

This is such an effective way of showing to an audience that two characters love each other, when there is a limited time window. The movie needed to crack on to cover the ground it needed to cover, and with so many important dynamics to reveal to the audience, the creators needed to be time effective. Eomer and Eowyn don't share much screen time, but the looks exchanged, the passing moments of intimacy, tells us clearly that these are two people greatly fond of each other, and have been fond of each other a long time.

The lack of spoken dialogue almost enhances it. Little is said between them because little needs to be said. They already know. The one time they do speak, it's when they're quarrelling, because that's the only moment when they need to use words. The rest of the time, a gesture, a look, is enough.

Winter at Hogwarts:

Snape: I am the very definition of evil.

Snape: I am indigestible. I am obnoxious. I am anti-social. I have a heart of stone and nothing in the world will mold me into the soft, fleshy thing you foolish little sunny creatures expect of me-

Hagrid: HELLO, Professor Snape! :DDDD! I made some fudge, would ye like some? Still fresh, jus' from this mornin'! (offers packet)

Narrator: As we all know, Hagrid's fudge is like concrete, is literally inedible, and will force you to set up camp in the cubicle for at least two hours if you are foolish enough to sample it. Severus was more than aware of this, and his face showed it.

Snape:

Hagrid: :DDDD

Snape:

Hagrid: ✨(///U u U///)✨

Snape:

Hagrid: :)))))!

Snape:

Snape: Sure. Yes. I would absolutely love some treacle fudge as of now, for heaven's sake. There is nothing in the world I would like to eat more, damn it all to hell. Give it to me.
