Magic Shop - 07

There’s only one sure way to break a spell like this.

⤑ pairing: (eventual) OT7 x female witch!reader; Jungkook focused ⤑ genre: magic au, romance, hurt/comfort, slow burn ⤑ rating: 18+ ⤑ word count: 10.7k ⤑ warnings: descriptions of an abusive/toxic relationship, angst, probably some historical and amphibian inaccuracies, brief penetrative sex, voyeurism, forced transformation. ⤑ note: Happy Lunar New Year to everyone that celebrates it! JK’s chapter turned out a lot longer than I anticipated lol, but even though he’s one of the last members to be introduced, his story is actually one of the first ones I planned out. Also for the toad/frog lovers, I know that toads don’t technically hop the way frogs do, but the idea of amphibian!JK jumping around has my whole heart lmao. Also, to 🌱 anon, you totally called it.

Chapters:   01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07

Grey skies gloom over the great plains. Rumbling thunder and ominous, dark clouds foretell an incoming storm. As gleam-drops of silver rain down heavily, a lone toad skitters through the muddy roads, doing its best to avoid the deep puddles through the downpour. Wind picks up, bending the tall grass along the dirt paths to its will. And the poor creature – exhausted, cold, hungry, and scared – braces his small, bulky body against the harsh, biting cold.

He can’t give up now. Not when he’s come so far.

Doe-shaped eyes narrow in determination as the toad struggles to move forward against the gust of wind. Between the darkening skies and the onslaught of water, it’s hard to see a thing. The toad isn’t even sure where he’s going, only that he has to keep moving. And hope that he reaches the nearest town to find shelter from the incoming storm.

That he can get away from her.

That wretched woman that turned him into this ugly beast.

Keep reading

has anyone written about the split narrative? I could use some help

Lord of the Rings Essay Topics

There are so many different essays you could write about Lord of the Rings (and I’m focusing only on Lord of the Rings in this post, since adding in The Hobbit and The Silmarillion would make it way too long.) Since I don’t know what your grade/level is, or what class this is for, I’m going to try and offer a wide variety of topics:

Philosophical Topics:

Good and Evil - In LOTR, how does Tolkien define or describe good and evil? Is this a black and white issue, or are there some characters or decisions that are more morally ambiguous?

What is the significance of the One Ring? What do you think it symbolizes? 

According to Tolkien, what is a hero? Who is The Hero of the story?

Fate vs. Free Will (as an influence on many of the characters’ decisions, including Frodo, Aragorn, Gollum, etc.)

(This one might really apply more to The Silmarillion, but oh well.) How is mortality treated in Lord of the Rings? Especially when the reader is able to compare the mortal characters to their immortal elvish counterparts?

Literary Structure Topics:

The use of a split narrative (when the fellowship breaks up, Tolkien follows each group of characters, instead of sticking only with Frodo.)

Tolkien included a ton of songs in the book - some of which clearly advance the story, while the purpose of others isn’t so clear. What does the inclusion of these stories add to (or subtract from) the book?

Tolkien is credited with being the “Father of Modern Fantasy”, and several techniques used in Lord of the Rings have been adopted by many, if not most, fantasy writers since. You could write a great essay exploring Tolkien’s influence on the genre, and on the authors that were inspired by him. (Similarly, you could write a great essay on the authors that inspired Tolkien, and what techniques he borrowed from previous works.)

Tolkien did an extraordinary amount of world-building for Lord of the Rings. He established thousands of years of history, a detailed geography, not to mention dozens of languages. How does this affect the book as a whole?

How does the geography (scenery, topography, etc.) reflect the more abstract themes in the book? (For example, the Old Forest, the mines of Moria, the Dead Marshes, etc.)

Cultural/Social Science Topics:

There are very few female characters in Lord of the Rings. You could write about this absence of women, or about how the few female characters represent women and femininity.

It’s mentioned a few times that the War of the Ring marks the beginning of the “Age of Men” - how does this cultural shift add significance to the characters and events of the book?

Tolkien was a very devout Catholic. How did that affect the books? What Christian themes can we see in the books?

Similar to Catholicism, there are many English themes, or nods to English culture and history, that Tolkien added to Lord of the Rings. What are they, and how does this add to (or subtract from) the story?

Almost all intimacy in Lord of the Rings takes place between two men, leading some scholars to argue that the story contains homosexual themes, while others argue for a more homosocial theme. How are the friendships in Lord of the Rings important to the story? How are they different from today’s typical friendship? How does this characteristic add to the reader’s experience?

These are just a few of the many essay topics you could write about - and I didn’t even include essays focused on specific characters! There are plenty of interesting topics for essays about Galadriel, Gandalf, Aragorn, Gollum, Sam, Eowyn, etc etc.

Good luck, and let me know if you need more help!
