Listen, I know all of you could make moodboards but I couldn't! I’m so old that I remember VCRs though so like, chill, okay? But I wanted one for another fic and finally decided to figure it out...I made five of them last night - hey, I said CHILL. 😅 I know, I'm late to the party and I've revealed that I am, in fact, older than 25 but I don't care. Look at my cute moodboard for my Steddie werewolf fic from last year!

In case you missed it, here's the link: Even Flowers Have Their Dangers

Meathead Huscarl: Berk calls for aid.

Courtroom: *Falls silent*

Thuggory: And the Meatheads will answer! Muster the ships!!

Mika, to a group of greenhorn drakers, excitedly: Hunt them down! Do not stop until they are found! You don't know pain or fear! You will taste DRAKE-FLESH!!!

Greenhorns: YEEEEEAAAAH!!!!

Takita: Should we...do something?

Vannie: Leave it. He always like this when he's hungry. If it actually gets them motivated—even better!

A little AU based on a dream I had recently in which the Fellowship teamed up with the Winnie the Pooh characters to escape a natural disaster, and when it was over they all moved into a house together with a massive stockpile of food :) Here's just a few of their interactions; I'll probably do more sketches of the AU if people are interested and if I feel inspired to (which I definitely have more ideas for it!) Anyway I just remember that they were all best buds in the dream and it was super cute so I wanted to do something with it <3

Galaxia! The sword of the gods! The legendary...twig?

Joke is curtesy of @krazycat6167.

You may need to click the image for better quality.

At this point it's a mixture of laziness and amusement that I draw Galaxia as nothing more than a squiggle.

More instances of Galaxia the twig:

Gandalf said ‘do not offer me that’, Galadriel said ‘I would be a queen, great and terrible,’ but Elrond said ‘get that the fuck away from me’ and this is nonsensical.

The other keepers of the elven rings were most challenged by the One, why not Elrond? Is his struggle merely hidden? Is it his Maia blood? Is it simply his mixed blood? Is that why Aragorn withstood, too?

Canonically the race of men are most easily corrupted, yet Elrond half-elven, who is almost 40% man, doesn’t notably bat an eyelash. Why?

[incorrect-thuggory-quotes]

Thuggory: I'd never thought I'd die fighting side-by-side with a Hooligan.

Hiccup: What about side-by-side with a friend?

Thuggory: Aye. I can do that.

"Not all who wander are lost" …but one can still lose directions! This particular warden seems to have arrived at an unfamiliar stop, or perhaps a forgotten one beyond recall? My second contribution for August Magma event!

TBH my ‘vision’ of Maglor is more of a music nerd than any kind of drama queen fanon makes him out to be sometimes.

Like someone who just doesn’t see the political ramifications other people saw in his songs, when it really was just a good metaphor. Someone with messy hair and pulls it back without even brushing it before going to a royal festival. The geeky, melancholic version of Finrod in his own family. A Maglor so obsessed with music and words he thinks about the sheer art of the Oath’s words rather than the context within itself or what it entails. Someone who wasn’t aware of how the Noldolantë could have been taken the wrong way and didn’t even finish it before he vanished from history (or, who knows, he probably forgot to bring the lyrics written with him when the Gap burned), probably had a meltdown when he realized that he had lost it. Someone who loves music so much that, after all is finished, he fades while singing, because it was all he had left.

Someone who once had a joyful, innocent spirit which was brutally killed after he did.

I love the references they manage to make in these shows. @benkaben This show is perfect.
