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 🤣

I had a class project on William Shakespeare who turned out to be Neil Cicierega.

The result of a class assignment that I completed across 2 days (well over 10 hours total). The assignment was to make a flyer using Canva, but I fucking hate Canva, so I did as little in Canva as possible lmao.

Inspiration, References, and In Progress Images below the cut.

Inspiration and References are the Dreadbear model, the original Fallfest Poster, and the Game Over room featuring Dreadbear.

And some In Progress images! Sorry I don't have more; I was in super focus mode!

Plz gimme some cool art to look at, thanks :3

I can’t promise it’s cool, but here you go!

This is some concept art I made for my digital art class. It’s a game I’d like to make one day. It’s called Necropolis and it follows Detective Burns, a detective with a flaming passion for justice, and Pail, a human who’s really not supposed to be here. I haven’t decided much past that.

Next assignment is an animation relating to this, so expect a cutscene maybe?

My best moment was when I used an entire class period of English for my presentation on why Harry Potter and JK Rowling were both always bad. The class was dead silent when I was done.

Mastery Journal Entry: Reflecting on Business Venture Research Class

Going into m Business Venture Research class, my main goal was to get the understanding of how to properly do research and learn the different research methods while learning and evaluating how to launch a successful business. I was using this class as a way to develop the skills I needed to be in marketing, and how to learn about the trends within my writing industry. I also wanted to learn about the structure of my own business idea with using real data from people who already did the research, and I just had to find it to see how well I would pair off in my field.

Needless to say, this course met my expectation because it equipped me with the tools on how to conduct research with valid resources on different aspects of my writing business. I looked at many different case studies, I read different articles, and the assignments I did helped me assess the market demand and how I should refine my business model to make it better, and how to make it stand out above the others.

The key takeaway from this course would be how important it is to actually do research and make sure its thorough before putting your business out there. You want to make sure you stay on top trends and that there is a demand in the market for your business. Some of the readings I found extremely useful would be:

The Five Cs of Opportunity Identification: The five Cs would be Customer needs, competition, context, and capabilities. These principles had given me a structured format to visualize when creating my business idea.

Business Research Methods by Naval Bajpai: Specifically I want to talk about chapter 1. The chapter went over the differences between basic and applied research. The purpose of these two types of research is to help you decide to develop or contribute your knowledge. It went over the importance of the techniques and procedures for doing the research.

Startup Opportunities by Brad Feld and Sean Wise: This is another noteworthy resource I found helpful. In Chapter 3 it talks about the criteria for an opportunity. An idea but be durable, timely, attractive and it has to add value to the buyer. If it doesn't meet these four criteria's then there is no opportunity, and it won't be successful.

The Lean Startup by Eric Ries: This reading had given me an understanding about the methodology of the Lean Startup. It had focused on creating products and get feedback from customers so that we could better our business and products. This approach would be essential or me simply because with my content creation I want to create content people want, and in order to do that I would need to gather my reader's and clients feedback. It's essential to my success.

In my business, I would utilize the skills I learned in this class and apply al of the research methods and evaluations so that I can make my freelance business better and more appealing to my clients. More importantly, I would utilize the Five Cs of Opportunity Identification so I can better understand the market, trends, clients, and my readers. This would help strengthen my confidence in my ability to do proper research but also help me gain the knowledge for my writing. This class has helped me make better decisions and gave me the kills I needed to help me during my decision-making process and how to properly find opportunities for my business.

A Martian in a Human's Body

The clock hits 00:01

I sit in my bed writing.

Do you understand what it's like to be detached from the world you live in?

To bathe in starlight but drown in blue skies.

To find remedy in light dead from billions of years of burning.

Only to find suffering in the stones cutting your feet.

A martian in a human’s body.

To stare at home from the agonizing grip of gravity. 

To feel the world turn under your feet while you run to stay ahead.

To look next to you and see you are the only one who needs to run.

Their feet are still with the turn of the earth. 

A home so unreachable how you are now.

A martian with no human money or a steady concept on time.

An alien to the concept of getting ahead through means other than self sacrifice and love.

Raised to be human, forever and outcast in the skin you were born in. 

I will fly home.

This will not be the world I live in.

Not forever.

Tonight, the stars are glowing.

I will find my way through.

Tonight, I will make it home.

I need y'all's input, it's for a school project (I just need similarities between Kamar-Taj and democracy so I can present and get a good grade)

very very personal animatic i made for my storyboarding class

song: sun bleached flies by ethel cain

[kolibrispacestation]

this comic is for my civics class. they told me to make an analogy for the US court system so i decided to do the addisons. yes. they are my hyperfixation and i WILL make content for them.

the requirement was:

civil vs criminal cases (here we see pink selling cotton candy to noelle vs crying over the ice ring because the lightners went genocide route - and yes i do hc pink to not like them in snowgrave, and only selling the ring because they have nothing to lose)

appellate, lower, and supreme courts - we see the addisons in varying levels of success, with sneo being the highest level. i’m sorry the theme song was literally called big shot how could i not XD

life term on the job - the addisons say “all we do is advertise” and will literally stand outside as the world collapses. they’re also doing this for life — with spamton collapsing in his neo form from the strings being cut, we see my personal headcanon that once he’s free he’s back to being white addison, so back to advertising.

i hope i get a good grade because this took me all day lol
