[Video description: A Silmarillion parody of “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” with the lyrics overlaid atop art and map images. Each event mentioned also has its date included in its caption in the video. The video starts with the screenshot of a TikTok comment reading “Now do it to the tune of “We Didn’t Start the Fire”! Jk, excellent reading and lore!” over top the book cover of the Silmarillion. The title of the video then appears “A Timeline of the First Age In the style of Billy Joel.” Instrumental solos are captioned as “Maglor solo,” and every chorus reprise is accompanied by the same image of the House of Finwë. The chorus lyrics read:

We didn't start the fire. Middle Earth's been burning Since Morgoth's returning. We didn't start the fire. No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it.

At the end of the video, artists and instrumentalists are credited. The instrumental track is by CC Karaoke, and the art credits go to: Ted Nasmith, Jenny Dolfen, AlystraeaArt, Kimberly80, Elena Kukanova, _Element_E, choistar, Justin Gerard, Alan Lee, moumou38, Righon, Noliel, steamey, alyruko, ECUST, Tuuliky, JovanDarkArt, Heinrich Nichaus, Anna Lee, aautio, Melissa Hudson, Zagreb-Dubrava, Mysilvergreen, Herbstlied, Peter Xavier Price, KatyChamberChorus, Catherine Chmiel, Šárka Škorpíková, Magali Villeneuve, ebe-kastein, and Tatyafinwe.

Timeline of the First Age – The Silmarillion to the tune of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Tim DeMarco (bardofarda)

#THE ENDING TOOK ME OUT LMFAO #the moment they went into the last rhyme with 'but when we are gone' i fucking KNEW where it was leading and i was not disappointed #this is incredible #truly the noldolante we deserve #maglor conveniently leaving out the small fact that the house of feanor did actually start /a/ fire #maybe not /the/ overall morgoth fire but there may have been a tiny lil campfire at this place called losgar #lotr #silmarillion

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

#rant #why is everyone in aup a genius #the four musketeers have the potential for this but its unfortunate that we dont get to see it fleshed out #even aiden ended up relying on his antimagic talents in the long run #ngl owens would have been more impressive to me if they r hardworkers instead of born special #it would have made the fact that ludger took them in more interesting #and mayhaps even highlighted his qualifications as a teacher #(lowkey im still salty that we dont get the full arc of ludger teaching magic to arpa lmfao)#(owens growth feels much less impactful to me bc they are already so special that them becoming that OP is nothing surprising)#plus i thought fighting against the unfairness of the world was a theme for owens #even if one managed to close the gap between the wealthy and the poor or noble and non-noble #the division between a genius and a non-genius itself would only create another kind of classism #how r they gonna challenge it as the members of the one and only special talent club?#violetta is the closest to be the hardworking one but even then her achievement still has a hand of a devil in it #also while surna had to learn everything from scratch he had been around for hundreds if not thousands of years #not to diminish his achievements but that hardly counts cuz it still puts him next to the special treatment category #not to mention being able to learn something simply by observing it is also a kind of cheat code itself...

I got work at 11pm tonight. Also, my sister just texted me to let me know that one of my old, good friends from HS is a heavy MAGA supporter now……. 😭!!!!

#rambling #AKAKSKSK #I would’ve never expected that shit from him he was kind of a goofy and silly and had a crush on my sister #and other friends #nooooo #he’s black too but I don’t expect much from black men fr 😭#I wonder what happened lmfao #he was the one who called me out for being mean to a beginner artist online back when we were in HS and I felt so bad about it since I’d #never done that to anyone before…#I just heavily critiqued their art on DA since DA had a critique section back in the day where you could give advice to other artists and #stuff and I was stressed out around the time and took out my frustration on a complete stranger and they ended up deactivating (I went back #to apologize and never saw their acc again I felt like a horrible person that was not me bro)#but he was the friend who hit me with the “’how would you like it if someone tore into your work like that Tariah :(?’ and it made me #realize what I’d just done 😭… I was being a bully I’ve never forgiven myself for that time even though it only happened once #I was probably a junior or sophomore in hs I think orz #but nooo that same friend is a trump supporter 😭#haven’t spoken to him since then but man…

Ok also so I got my eyebrow and nose piercings back in... march, I think? I was supposed to go back in to get the bars changed out some time ago but I never did. Largely bc my eyebrow piercing has Not been healing smoothly (keep accidently banging it and getting it caught on things so it doesn't wanna heal) but I think the long bar has been actively hindering my healing (making it easier to get caught on things) so I decided to change it out Myself. Bought some new smaller jewelry online and it got here today and

I'm not generally squeamish when it comes to my own body. Like pain, blood, whatever. Don't rly care.

That, though... that took some effort.

But I did it! Smaller jewelry to hopefully make healing a little smoother from here on out. I also got some new jewelry for my nose stud that'll get here tomorrow. That one at least won't be a huge deal, since the nose piercing has healed so much more smoothly, thankfully.

(Preemptive warning for Gross Details in the tags. Lol)

#speculation nation #for the eyebrow piercing it's like....#ok this is kinda gross hfkshfks but i think i. at one point when it got caught on something #i think i like. tugged the piercing. um. smaller #?#like the area of skin that the eyebrow piercing runs thru is. smaller. bc it literally tore some of the actual pierced skin.#hurt like a BITCH i'll fuckin tell you that lmfao. ive been a lot more careful since.#but thats another thing with why i wanted a smaller thing. the prior one was fucking Massive in there. way too much #but now i have smth smaller. thinner too. which i hope will help with healing.#downsizing while healing will reduce the amount of variation in jewelry i can stick in there #but tbh i think itd just be wiser to stick to small things anyways. with the thinner patch of skin there.#i dont WANT to rip my eyebrow piercing out. which that was part of what made changing it so hard hfkshfm #these new ones r like screw on ends. but the one before was a pin i had to pull out.#and Let Me Tell You. i was so fucking scared of accidentally ripping it out when trying to pull that bitch. holy shit.#i got it without ripping anything. it still hurt and it bled a good bit but i got it.#switched out the jewelry. which eugh that part was pretty rough too. like not to be gross but rootin around in ur own skin is. somethin #hfksfhksbfmd but it's done and i dont intend to change it until it's healed more. so hopefully it will be. easier then.#i actually took out my nose piercing.. yesterday? to try to switch out with a shorter back #didnt work bc it was thicker. had to put the old one back in. which THAT was harrowing but mostly bc it was so. fucking. hard to do #but the new nose jewelry i got is supposed to come with a thing that makes it easier to put the nose jewelry on #(the hard part is trying to put a flat back base in from the inside of the nose. cant see SHIT in there 😭)#man. facial piercings really arent for the squeamish. good thing im not scared of pain but it has even me like Eughhh #couldve been mitigated has i gone back to the piercer. but oh well. fuck it we ball 💪#ummm should i tag for this lol #gross/#😂

okay hear me out modern au where Tommy and Maria first meet in a club in their 20s and they bump into each other while dancing and just start dancing together and they just hit it off but in the end they both forget to give each other their numbers so both of them go back to the same club the next week to hopefully meet each other again (also Tess and Maria definitely go clubbing together because I love them as best friends)

cowboy!!!! yes yes YES i LOVE this. and u could extend this meet-cute into like a whole thing where tommy and maria keep trying to meet at the club and exchange information, but something gets in the way everytime!!!! kid emergency!!! bar fight!!! cocaine bear on the loose!!! zombie apocalypse—who knows????

im thinking the first time, tess drags maria to a bar she likes because she’s been trying to get the attention of this hot dilfy guy at the bar, but he’s always tailing along with his friend. by tess’s design, maria and tommy meet and and hit it off and dance (to maria maria by santana) the night away. they fall in love and decide they want to go home together, so maria goes to the bathroom—but joel randomly comes up and is like “tommy, hey sorry selena’s mom called, sarah had a nightmare and she wants us both to pick her up, we gotta go” and in true miller dad-uncle panic they BOLT. by the time maria comes back, tess is like “idk dude, mine got a call so they had to go. seemed like an emergency. bummer” and they assume thats that

on the flip side: everythings okay with sarah, but after tommy and joel tuck her in tommy’s suddenly just like “fuck—fuck!!!!!” and joels like “what? what???” and he’s like “i didn’t get her number :(:(:(:( fuck” and so joel’s like “it’s okay, i see her friend there all the time” and so tommy’s like “omg :D do you have her friends number?” “well… no” “joel… what the fuck man.” so they make a plan to go back next week with the hopes of at least seeing tess and getting maria’s number from there—tommy also wants to get tess’s number for joel, but he doesn’t need to know that

little do THEY know, tess and maria are already plotting for next weekend. they show up to that bar looking fine as FUCK—they quite literally turn heads walking through the door. of course the miller brothers are there, sitting in a booth all the way in the back and waiting, making eyes. tess and maria are not shy, so they start making their way over. unfortunately, some drunk asshole decides to try to get handsy with tess on her way there—which results in her punching him in the face, which results in him trying to punch her in the face. she dodges, of course, but it starts a full-on bar brawl that the miller boys jump into without hesitation (joel manages to tackle and land a few good ones on og drunk asshole too so. slay.). none of them get arrested or anything, but they definitely don’t get eachother numbers on account of joel and tommy having to duck the cops

so i guess they gotta keep trying ;)

#missed connections au #honestly idk how i would even end this i think its so fun to imagine scenarios where some shit goes down and the bar has to scatter 😭#tess calling joel her miller >#idk how joel turned into a shy type in this au but he did and i think itd be so cute #shameless flirt tess and shy nerdy dad joel who’s majorly oblivious?????? cmon #and then stuffy upcoming lawyer type maria who wants to be partner before shes 30 #meeting veteran tommy who spends his days taking care of his niece working with his brother and being a good mf man #he just wants to watch her be great and talk about her achievements and explain stuff to him #hes very complimentary to her yet insecure and one of these meetups she finds out hes a literal human calculator #like is crazy good at multiplication. she just spends all night giving him rando equations and checking them with her calculator #they are just sexy geniuses i love them #his ultimate goal is to take her on a proper date and maybe cook for her #it takes maybe 5 bar meetups for that to happen #one time is just gonna be them sitting and talking for so long that they just forget about numbers bc it feels like they have them already #i dont imagine maria having a son in this au tbh #this could def be a whole fic lmfao #tysm for this cowboy what a treat #sorry it took me long i wanted to edit typos!!!!#asked and answered #tlou #tlou au #the tipsy bison #tommy x maria #tess x joel

I got rien by etat libre d'orange and it smells like a damn church but if it isnt smoky and reeks of death so im calling it an ais scent now

Edit: nahh this is kuras's clinic with ais in it rather than ais himself

Tho i wonder if the seaspring could smell like a church bc of all the smokiness

#redstrewn talks #its described unisex but this shit is the most masculine shit i ever smelt #rien means nothing and if it isnt what ais is up to. fuck all. LMFAO #on the other hand bc this makes me feel like im making out with an ancient priest this scent could also be the lovechild of ais and kuras #call that the kuras clinic with ais in it #i got this bc of recs online but if i arent struggling to hell w enjoying it #apparently listed as not good for beginners to perfume. i can attest to that bc i fr feel like im fucking a priest smelling this.#real kuras-ais-unnamed scent #its ok as long as i imagine ais and kuras enough i'll probably end up liking this fragrance #my skill is taking sth i initially hate and brainwashing myself into liking it #i did smell the other eldo scents in-store but they kind of BORED me compared to rien #i hate smelling a church but it definitely did not bore me so i took it anyway #that kind of sums things up. id rather take something i hate than something that bores me #bc then at least theres an emotional spark there

Because I mentioned my Heroes fandom time and once I start thinking about Heroes I will not stop, it remains funny as shit that Heroes was like, "Here's our serial killer villain. He's not a sociopath or mentally ill or any of that bullshit, he doesn't even need to resort to this to get what he wants, he's just a fucked up little freak obsessed with power and he can stop anytime he likes. We're going to give him an utterly incomprehensible redemption arc for no reason. And it's gonna slap."

#never question how anyone could possibly stan a war criminal who may or may not even be that repentant. this is NOTHING.#I've been like this my whole goddamn life.#also discovered I do not own season 4 which really does need to change. purely for sylar redemption arc.#and also my absolute favorite most ballsy cancellation show ending of all time. because fuck 'em that's why!#what does anyone tag heroes lmfao #heroes nbc #actually I was gonna make a brotherhood joke about the circus but then remembered that ray park literally played toad so like. yeah lmfao #tbh I do think everyone would be way more normal about the quality of heroes if we took it as it was intended: a comic series* in tv form #like who CARES about bullshit over the top plots! this is about power metaphors and vibes #and yanno what? it delivered on both fronts.#*I know this only applies to superhero comics. I ran out of characters in that tag. don't @ me.

group work is Not It. I should have known better than to enroll in an engagement course that involves planning workshops with a group of other students……. guess who is doing all the work! :^) Back in tha day my teachers called me a ‘natural leader’… fun fact!!!! I am actually not! I do not like being in charge! it is actually just that people take advantage of me! Hope this helps

#God. I wanted to take the class so bad bc it’s about the history of art in prison systems #and it involves a weekly art workshop in a prison #the group that runs it is pretty blatantly abolitionist and partially run by formerly incarcerated ppl #so it’s made pretty clear that we're not ‘teaching’ art bc thats weird and enforcing a hierarchy if ur a 'teacher'#its more like a way to get materials inside and basically hang out with and make art alongside incarcerated ppl #under the guise of ‘volunteering’ as the dept of corrections labels it #anyway that’s all off topic but basically I am doing all the fucking work lmao we’re supposed to go in for the first time tomorrow and #my group members suck shit at communicating and the person who’s supposed to drive is like radio silent whenever I ask #where we should meet and shit #FUCK!!! I hate logistical shit like this #its taken us a million years to get cleared by the system (on purpose i stg) so its literally midterm time and we havent gotten in yet #i swear if our first one gets jeopardized by this girl who refuses to check her damn texts or emails or even come to class im gonna be so #pissed. lmfao #goddddd this is giving me flashbacks to when i took the class where we were supposed to do workshops at an elementary school #different vibe because in that scenario it was definitely supposed to be educational and we lowkey were 'teachers'#but my classmates also didnt do shit and i also ended up doing literally everything #WHY TAKE A CLASS LIKE THIS IF U DONT WANNA DO IT LIKE SERIOUS QUESTION #maybe they just want to put it on their resume LOL #they need a vetting process for this class i stg like interview these bitches before they enroll #cuz some of these people fr do not care

AI "artists" really are the modern day digital version of that kid in high school that'd trace art from printouts or from their classmates' works and say they drew it despite never having drawn a day in their life. Fuckin grifters

#textpost #There was this leech in high school that was always asking me to draw her stuff and she did shit like this #One time she conned me into helping her paint a huge welcome back banner for a teacher that was on leave for a major illness #I had to give up my study hall for it and it took WEEKS #Of course most of the banner was a big dragon she told me to draw while she traced weeb shit around it #It turned out she had 1. Not told any of the teachers about this 2. Didn't want to take the banner when it was done #So I wasted weeks drawing this thing I ended up having to take home because we couldn't hang it up #I was pissed and I didn't even like it because I had to work on it in like 30 minute rushed segments #and my drawing was surrounded by all this traced nonsense #This kid drove me up the wall lol She'd lie about having pet wolves and stuff too and wouldn't leave me alone no matter what I said to her #In retrospect I think she had a huge crush on me but I couldn't stand her lmfao

second-to-last chapter of Empty Hands and Empty Rooms!!

i think there's just one more chapter left!!!! (though it might take uhh a minute, because not only am i back at work, but about to start 10 hour days and saturdays for two weeks UGH)(and then of course, the book-exclusive epilogue i cannot wait to get to)

#so close to the end!!!! really hoping it's ending ok #life happens and readers drop off from reading but it always worries me that maybe it got boring or took a direction they hated #ANYWAYS work is a public works project now which is such a nice change from tech companies #you sure do get tired of their 'don't use our elevator don't park on the (EMPTY) lower floors out of the rain don't breathe our air'#we're adding projectors to classrooms!!!#not thousand dollar lights to conference rooms for a gc that claims we're ''lucky'' to have parking #lmfao bitch its in our contract you dont have a CHOICE about that
