The thing that draws me most to this fandom, and the things that makes it unique, is that by the mere nature of the works we love, everyone's Arda is different. And not just in the usual headcanon-y ways that are typical of every story, but even down to important plot and characterization points.

Who is Gil-Galad? What is the Oath and what does it have power to do? What really is the Dagor Dagorath? How do the Laws Of The Universe work?

And beyond that- what parts of HoME do you pick and choose? LaCE? Does anyone try and work with Tolkien's horrendous math? Have you taken parts of your Arda from older or other worlds, with the Cottage of Lost Play and the exile of the Gnomes?

Have you given names to the wives and daughters? What do they mean- who are they? Mother-names or father-names for those who only had one?

I just really love how even when two interpretations of the same world seem utterly incompatible, they aren't. I'd love to see other additions/headcanons!

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 50th Tilt

Uther Pendragon, Excalibur (1981) VS. Rilk, JourneyQuest (2010)

Propaganda

Uther Pendragon, Excalibur (1981) Portrayed by: Gabriel Byrne

“i’m submitting him on behalf of my mom who says he is ‘gorgeous’ and just goes ‘ooooh’ when i show her pictures of him. she hopes that the Tumblr population will appreciate a man who ‘has intimate relations while in full armor’”

Rilk, JourneyQuest (2010) Portrayed by: Jesse Lee Keeter

"He's an orc subverting all the stereotypes of big dumb monster. He's intelligent and cares about the team under his care. He's awkwardly adorable when trying to figure out how to romance his crush and gets even hotter when he gains confidence. There aren't a lot of photos out there and it's better to watch him in action so just watch the first few minutes of the first episode of the show!”

who up thinking about rohan as a culture that is very focused on their ancestors, implying they might have shrines for their dead ancestors and family members like some real world countries.

who up thinking about eowyn praying to her mother, asking forgiveness for her plan to ride off and die fighting orcs like her father did.

Your monster parent is a wonderful soul you love with all your heart, but their size difference makes it almost impossible to show physical affection for you.

But there is one day where they either have a human form or a size close to yours, and they use it to be as affecionate as possible.

It happened in your birthday, when your dragon parent used that day to give you their tighest hug as a birthday gift to you

orctober is on the brain, fighting art block is the game--Eloise Aberdeen is Greyson's mama and she's a very strong, skilled, opinionated woman 👀

I love doing that little quest when Khadgar calls the council to tell them they will be working with the Horde against the Legion because

Khadgar waiting for you outside and behind the Violet Citadel like a nervous kid because he knows what is about to happen when he steps inside.

He is nice enough to let you know that this will be Bad and he knows ahead of time it will suck for you.

Jaina full caps "NEVER" followed by calling you vermin to your face (ouch)

Khadgar having none of it and pushing the vote anyway, aggressively

You having to deal with Ansirem who is still around and voted "Nay" to your face like okay we are all pretending this didn't happen

not to be bitter about the Durins again but it will never stop pissing me off to a burning degree that in the movies Kíli dies off in a little corner with no one but one elf he met two days ago around, and she’s nerfed to the point she’s utterly helpless until RIGHT AFTER he’s killed. It feels so bullshit and unfulfilling. I remember me and a friend were huge fans of the Durins (her even more than me) as well as the little Kíli and Tauriel side story back when the movies came out, and we watched it in theatres and she literally said she would never watch that scene again bc it disappointed her so badly. She skips it to this day. Bc why the fuck did they have Kíli die for an elf he barely knew (I like Tauriel but it is true— they’ve known each other for maybe two or three days total) over the family he ran out into battle to defend, the family he set out on the quest with and the family that he was so proud of. Why was he not with his brother, or trying to defend his uncle who was still very much alive and in danger? Tauriel literally just serves to get Kíli killed in that scene, bc they nerf her (CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. Even against a tough orc she should be holding her own) but have Legolas out there holding his own, and it is nowhere NEAR as emotionally devestating as the single sentence we’re given in the book of how Kíli and Fíli went down defending their uncle. I can almost excuse the change in how Fíli dies bc it does hold emotional weight, but Kíli’s death going from the devotion of family even to his own doom into dying for an elf he has puppy love for while being totally cut off from the other dwarves fucking killed the scene for me. And there isn’t really even a good payoff for Tauriel afterward either. We just leave her there regretting she ever loved him. It hurts me so damn much, and not least of which is because for every video someone does as a tribute to Thorin and his nephews, it always takes a sharp left turn into Tauriel watching Kíli die all by himself and it doesn’t even feel related to the other’s deaths. I think it would have felt much more like the best of both if they’d kept Kíli dying defending his family, and then have Tauriel come to him as he’s dying. But that’s not what happened. It fucking sucks. I promise I do like the movies but I will stand hard by saying that it’s weakest writing is the latter half of the second and the former half of the third movie. It only really picks up to consistently good scenes at Thorin’s battle with Azog in my opinion. Sorry for another brief hater moment but man. Man.

Ghosti, just got an ad for a romance novel that's sure to be up your and your readers' alley. It's an orc romance - "The Single Mother and the Orc". I have no idea how the algorithm thought to toss me this, but I figured I share this with ya'll.

I only just spotted this ask, but it's hilarious! You're clearly spending too much time hanging around with me and the monsterfucker contingent and the algorithm sees it. Lucky you.
