#and have a little more fun and interaction on tumblr

[rey-jake-therapist]

Your anon here. I just think Galadriel and Sauron are the most important relationship for TROP and to hear people who otp Haladriel say it isn't makes me think I've had it all wrong and Im dumb for wanting them to have scenes in s3. Rey, do you have any hope to give? I'm thinking of quitting the show

I think I can ? maybe ? By linking @clarekirener 's great analysis of the Amazon accounts' activities on social media. There's this post and this other post, if my memory serves well.

Amazon has been baiting the Haladriel shippers ever since the finals came out. It may mean nothing for the future, of course. It's definitely not a guarantee that we'll have (good) Haladriel content in season 3. But imho, it shows that they consider the Haladriel shippers as a huge part of their audience, because otherwise they wouldn't lose their time on us.

Now, take it as you will. All I can say is that the people on Tumblr/Twitter/Reddit who "predict" that Galadriel is now done with Sauron and won't interact with him anymore, or will interact very little with him... They don't run, write or produce the show. They're just giving their personal opinion on the matter, what they feel will/should happen after season 2. No more.

As fas as I'm concerned, the fact that Amazon keeps baiting shippers is 'hope' that they want the show to feature more Haladriel than season 2 did, because they want the money and they seem to believe that Haladriel shippers will give them money if they get what they want. Now, it's possible I'm completely delusional and that they're just wasting money having fun trolling us, idk !

And no I don't think you're wrong or dumb, and I hope you will stick around at least until season 3 comes out :)

The end of Astorvember 2024!

We have officially made it to the last two days of Astorvember, or as they were called last year AU Days:

29. Defier of Prophecy (Alternate Universes) 30. The Future of Hyrule (Post-Calamity)

As always feel free to engage with the themes literally or figuratively; make a piece of art that depicts the prompt or make a post promoting your own AUs, however you want to engage with the prompts.

Sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, whether you made posts, interacted, or lurked. I'm consistently amazed with the longevity, depth, and creativity of this fandom for a little cardboard ratman who was onscreen for five seconds and then died. I have so many plans for the next year, as well as ideas for next year's Astorvember.

Moving on to more zine things, I'm officially extending the submission deadline through February 1st. I want to give everyone plenty of time to complete their new submissions and collect older works to be submitted (I may or may not also be scheming, more info to come). Unfortunately for Astor, November is extremely busy for most folks. I want the zine to have a truly astronomical amount of submissions, so keep them coming!

FAQ under the cut, and thanks again to everyone for making the official second Astorvember so much fun.

Q: What is the maximum number of images per submission? A: No limits for now. The full, digital zine will have much looser limitations (I'm fully prepared to be proven wrong on this, but for now no limits) but for the curated, printed version I ask that you submit a shortened version in the same vein as NSFW works having a censored companion piece for the SFW editions (optional, you can also opt to have your piece removed from certain versions, but no piece will be removed from the full version). As always, no changes will be made without author/artist permission, but keep an eye out for follow up emails. Repetitive or superfluous images may be removed in the event that y'all actually find a number of images I'm unable to handle.

Q: Can I submit digital submissions such as videos and gifs? A: Yes, tentatively. The full, free version of the zine will be published as a PDF, and I may be able to embed gifs, videos, or hyperlinks. Digital extras outside of the main zine were always welcome as a category of submission, so go ahead and submit them. If you want these submissions to be included in the physical zine, please include a thumbnail and summary.

Q: Can I submit a craft to the zine? A: Yes, and there are two ways to do so. You can submit pictures of the craft, and feel free to include a short essay on why you made it, how, when, anything else you'd like to include (under 2500 words). Or you can submit a tutorial for how to make your craft.

Q: Is 2500 words a hard limit? A: No, if your work is a little over go ahead and submit it as is and I'll let you know if it needs to be shortened. The word limit was primarily intended to discourage submissions of full novel-length fics. If you want to submit a fic that's longer than 2500 words, choose your favorite chapter and include where readers can find the rest of it such as links to Tumblr, AO3, or other sites.

Q: I don't have anything serious to submit, can I submit memes/jokes? A: Absolutely! Memes and jokes are more than welcome. As a matter of fact, I would like to write an essay on the top Astor fandom shitpost extravaganzas of the past four years. If you have a favorite Astor meme such as the egg thing (2020) or the egg thing (2024) or Astor Thursday or the White Boy Bracket or any other absurdity, submit it. Include a summary of the event from your POV, where you were when it happened, screenshots, or just what event you would like me to write about.

Q: What can I submit? A: TL;DR writing under 2500 words (ficlets, fic excepts, essays, poems, etc), visual art roughly the size of a half a sheet of printer paper or smaller (drawings, photographs, etc), miscellaneous works such as sheet music, craft tutorials, physical merch, and others subject to approval. Full info above (or here). Submissions are now being accepted until 11:59 pm CDT on February 1st.

Q: How do I submit? A: Email propheciesofdoomzine@yahoo.com and include: -The work's title -The name you would like to be credited as (screen name, url, or nickname preferred over legal name) -Is the work potentially NSFW and if so what content warnings apply Again, more info above (or here).

Q: How many submissions are you looking for? A: As many as y'all got! No limit, go wild.

Q: Can I submit more than one piece? A: Submit as many pieces as you want. Seriously, no limit.

Q: Who can submit works? A: Anyone! Submissions are very specifically and intentionally open to anyone and everyone instead of taking applications and selecting artists to create a piece specifically for the zine.

Q: Can I submit works I've already posted? A: Yes, this zine is intended to be a collection and celebration of the last four years of the fandom. All works are welcome, no matter how old they are or how many people have seen them. This also very much includes pieces from this or last year's Astorvember.

Q: Can I post the piece I submitted? A: Yes, if you want. You can post it, say it was submitted to the zine, post it and don't say it was submitted, or keep the whole thing secret. You can change your mind and post it after submissions close, before the zine is released, whatever you want.

Q: Are original characters/self ships welcome? A: Yes, so many fan works about Astor are full of original characters and the zine would not be complete without them. All original characters are welcome, very specifically including self insert and self ship characters. They are so welcome that we're making a yearbook page dedicated to original characters.

Q: How do I submit an original character to the zine yearbook page? A: Submit a simple school picture style portrait (feel free to make it silly) of your oc with: -Their name -Their relation to Astor (mentor, family, friend, significant other, weird dogs, etc) -The name you would like to be credited as and/or what fic or au they're from if applicable -A senior quote/superlative (if you want) And again, just to be clear, self insert and self ship characters are very much included in this!

Q: Mr. President there's been a second yearbook page. A: So many people have joked about Astor being a mass original character due to his lack of background and character development that if enough people submit the above for their fanon version of Astor we'll do an Oops! All Astors version of the yearbook page.

Q: Will there be physical merch? A: Possibly, still working out logistics. Proposals for physical merch are one of the categories of submissions, email propheciesofdoomzine@yahoo.com with ideas for things like pins, stickers, keychains, etc. Handmade items are welcome and encouraged if you have the time!

Q: Is NSFW content allowed? A: Yes, both art and writing. All submissions that include violence, gore, nudity, sex, etc will be marked as such. In the event that a physical zine is made there will be curated versions including a safe for work version. When you submit your works please include any potential content warnings. We'll be in contact if any works might need additional warnings. That said, no works will be censored. As mentioned above they will be clearly marked in the full version and omitted from the safe for work version. If you would like to submit a censored version of your work for the safe for work version, you may.

Q: I still have a question. A: Send me an ask, a message, email the submissions email, send a flock of birds to follow me around, reach me in my dreams, whatever. If you need something clarified or reiterated, go ahead and ask. If you're unsure about your submission, go ahead and ask. If there's a secret third thing, go ahead and ask.

Hey, everyone!

I've been both looking forward to and dreading this post, ngl. But now that the holidays are over and I'm looking at the new year, I've decided to slow down. 👇

What does that mean?

Mostly it just means that I'm not going to be participating in every event that catches my eye; not writing every idea that comes to mind. There's also a flipside to that, though! It means I'm going to be taking the time to finish "Take Me Away", "Check Me Out", and to work on "A Kingdom to Fall". I have another writing project that I'm looking forward to sharing with you, as well.

It also means I'll more than likely open my askbox for prompts and suggestions now and again. It's something I've thought about a lot this year, but I haven't really had the time to commit to doing anything like that. And, honestly, I didn't think anyone would be interested. But I want to continue my involvement in the fandom, and continue to utilize my tumblr for little things like writing prompts and headcanon questions and "get-to-know-me"s.

It also means that I get to make a dent in my "marked for later" rec list on AO3 (if you have a fic you think I should read, send it my way!). I've had a growing list of fics this last year and I'd really like to make sure I have the time to enjoy some of them!

The only reason I've been dreading this is because... Well, it means that I'm promising to commit to the projects I have going and the one that I'm about to start. 😅 But, reminder to myself and all of you, that just because those are my focuses and I'm slowing down, does NOT mean that I'm not going to write other nonsense. Because I don't think I'd function if I couldn't have other ideas going. It just means I'm hoping to have fewer stories put out in one year.

In any case, if you made it this far in my rambling -- I appreciate you guys so much! Like, you've made this experience so amazing and fun. And this decision has a lot to do with everyone who has interacted on my tumblr or on my stories this year.

So thank you a billion! Happy (early) new year! Let's have some fun, yeah?

I feel like Tumblr is such a weird social media platform because like you get to know people but also not??

Like my mutuals are the best ever but also I don't know anything about them besides their blorbos, obsessions, and maybe a smattering of other things that are ""too weird"" to post on actual personal social media platforms. Like. Have I ever had a conversation with you? No. But also, you're a friend.

OC Interactions 1/?

Tobias & Axiom

He knows of the general, knows the feats that the man has stacked up over the years as well as anyone who's been alive in this decade. It's one of the perks of knowing the people of the courts and he's always been nosy. And Axiom has seen those wings in flight, red, orange and yellow with a span that's large enough to smack anyone away. Axiom finds them to be beautiful. It's not rare to find someone part phoenix nowadays. People don't rise from the ashes the same these days. "Y'know, General, I've heard of you," Axiom remarks one day when Tobias in the court in the same day as him. "The one who burned all those who opposed him to ashes." The General scoffs, grey eyes assessing him to see if he's a threat. Except he knows himself quite well, Axiom knows perfectly well what he could do if he committed to his magic. "It's my job," Tobias says, words weighed careful but he doesn't miss the curtness of it all as if each word is a knife at thrown at someone that Axiom doesn't know about. Anger and frustration lacing every vowel. "Nothing more." "Then," he continues, tilts his head to look up at the general in all of his foreboding black armour with those gold accents. "If you could do anything else, what would it be? Humour me." "I'd get out of here, Axiom," Tobias admits. "Force them to get another pretty bird to keep on display." "Really?" He raises a hand up, places it gently against Tobias' wings enough that they flip on him, the other man practically bristling at his mere presence. "I find you quite beautiful," Axiom then says, casual. "It's just a damn shame they won't let you stretch your wings, little bird." "I should kill you for saying that-" "Because The Phoenix can't take a compliment?" "Never call me 'little bird' ever again, Li, or I swear I will gut you."

Welcome back to tumblr! Hope you enjoyed your break

It was very stressful. Ended up failing the marking period for English, but not by as much as I was failing before. Could still pull up the overall grade by the end of the semester.

I wish tumblr was. Easier
