#BABY BLORBOS

[meg-noel-art]

My OC blorbos Sam and Lucy as kiddos! Also included an excerpt of chapter one of the WIP I’m writing for them! Enjoy!

Sam was only nine years old when she accidentally cooked her father’s prized sheep alive. 

It was an accident, of course. Up until that point in her short life, she had remained entirely unaware of her latent ability to harness the power of solar energy. Solar sorcerers were not unheard of. In fact, there existed guilds of many sorcerers of varying abilities all across the neighboring towns, cities and kingdoms.

And Sam was just a simple, lowborn girl - until she wasn’t. 

When one afternoon she stormed out of the little cottage she shared with her father and sick mother - angry that the world was insistent on worsening the health of the one person who cares about her most; her power revealed itself.

A scream and toss of a stray branch turned into a ball of flame that burst from her palm in searing, pulsing waves. Sam sleeve, along with the nearest - and dearest - sheep were instantly singed into non-existence. 

Sam blinked, frozen in shocked, eyes glued to the charred dirt where the sheep had once stood. The rest of her father’s herd ran in panicked circles, braying into the otherwise quiet afternoon. 

The noise drew her already frustrated father’s attention - and he stormed out of the cottage after her. He did not wait for an explanation, upon seeing his missing sheep and Sam’s smoking arm. I was always her fault, in his eyes. Unspoken, Sam was certain he blamed the waning health of his wife, her mother, on her too.

Even still, his prized sheep was enough to garner a more severe beating than usual. As Sam wept quietly in the corner of her room later that evening, hungry and bruised - she found her gaze drawn to the center of her right palm. Her skin looked no different than usual. Pale, calloused palms from working the small farm day in and day out. 

Part of her wondered if she’d imagined the flames. Perhaps a god had struck the sheep down out of spite for Sam’s very existence. Quite honestly, the possibility seemed more likely than the reality that she might be a magic wielder. Sorcery was for persons of high parentage - long lines of sorcery ancestry. Rarely, if ever, did magic show itself in a bloodline that hadn’t been imbued with said abilities for generations.

Quietly, Sam began to test her power as she grew. At first, the power was inconsistent, unreachable and random. As time passed, it became easier to tap into at will. However, controlling it was another challenge entirely. Despite her best efforts, attempting to regulate her power on her own led to accidents, damages and punishments. None of which ever stopped her from trying again. 

If Sam was one thing, it was headstrong.

Lucy Edevane was born with the weight of her family’s legacy placed squarely on her shoulders. From the very day she came screaming into the world, every second of her life was laid out before her. Every beat planned, every path accounted for. Every goal, hope and dream decided. Both she and her older brother were buried beneath burden before they could walk.

When she was four years old she was punished for painting the walls of her bedroom with the acrylics she’d stolen from her art tutor. Her mother, Emilia Edevane, had not only confiscated her paints and brushes - but she’d dismissed Lucy’s art tutor for an entire month. And Lucy was made to scrape paint from her own walls, with clumsy four year old hands. 

Her ability to control lunar magic surfaced when she was only five - two years younger than it had appeared in her brother. The Edevane family line was famous for their natural talent in wielding this particular and rare branch of elemental sorcery. Elias could as well - although Lucy attacked her studies and training with much more vigor than he had. And her efforts made themselves known as she progressed more quickly than her brother.

By the time she was twelve years old, Lucy was considered a prodigy by her family.

corrupted godhood. reluctant false messiah. prophecy as a creeping all consuming malady. does the oracle see the future or make the future? the horror of trapping yourself inescapably on purpose. the chains of destiny dragging you towards the path you are fighting tooth and nail to free yourself from. there never having been a chance to begin with. no other choice to make. but making that choice regardless.

I'm literally so obsessed with the fact that Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu married the most extreme versions of each other

like, I'm pretty sure that people have already brought this up, but Shang Qinghua and Luo Binghe have the same, "I'm just a little guy, you wouldn't hurt a little guy, would you?" pathetic, pitiful, crybaby aura (even though Binghe is a lot more selective with it lol)

and Shen Qingqiu and Mobei-Jun are icy beauty, rich, dense, spoiled brats that both go insane over (1) pitiful hamster man (for different reasons, but still)

I feel like if they didn't fucking die and get transmigrated, they could've had a cute assholes to assholes but lovers arc :<

Silmarillion Fandom Terminology Quiz

So, I'm doing a project for linguistics class and I'm studying fandom terminology in the Silmarillion fandom and whether or not demographics make a difference. The only demographics are age category, gender, continent, language background, and fandom background, after which you get into more fun questions, including but not limited to...

What is a Blorbo?

The Thorn Debate

What is "Accidental Baby Acquisition"?

Who is Crablor

What is a "PWP"

The quiz has three sections: Demographics, General Fandom Terms, and Silmarillion Specific Terms. Have fun with it, share it with your Silm friends!

Edit: Will close November 15th so I have time to process the results before presenting them.

Edit edit: Due to the sheer number of responses (I may have forgotten how... academically inclined this fandom is lol) I will be closing the survey on November 1st. Thank you all for your lovely contributions so far! I think I saw Fëanor called a "bitch-ass prescriptivist" and I think my professor will get a kick out of that 🤣

Haven't been able to think about anything other than the victorian/edwardian/WW1 twink and his 80's punk almost-boyfriend for a week, send help

I am also a bit surprised that people who make Scott and Jimmy's relationship toxic always make Scott the toxic one.

Like, to be clear, I don't think either of them are toxic. I just made a whole post about how their issues come from them wanting different things, not from one of them being toxic or something.

But fandoms love to stretch and dramatize, I get that. So I get why people make them toxic for fun.

I just don't get why it's always Scott.

Because actually rewatching Third Life from their pov's recently, Jimmy had just as many- if not more- moments where he was dismissive, argumentative, or selfish as Scott did.

Yet when the fandom zooms in on their issues to portray their relationship as toxic, Jimmy is always the victim, the one being manipulated, the one being dismissed and belittled, and Scott is always the mean and controlling one.

And it's just baffling to me. Genuinely. I don't understand why fans who make them toxic always do it by magnifying Scott's perceived wrongdoings and only Scott's perceived wrongdoings. I don't understand why fanon dramatizations always play up (to a frankly ludicrous degree) Scott's flaws when, to be frank, he's never been any worse than Jimmy, and nobody makes Jimmy out to be "toxic".
