#as have many other details

The joy of that feast was long remembered in later days of sorrow; and it was called Mereth Aderthad, the Feast of Reuniting. Thither came many of the chieftains and people of Fingolfin and Finrod; and of the sons of Fëanor Maedhros and Maglor, with warriors of the eastern March;

Fingolfin organises the only Big Party that gets mentioned in the entire Silm and only Maedhros and Maglor come? What about the other brothers? Were they not invited? It's hard to believe that Fingolfin would not invite the rest of his nephews to the Feast of Reuniting. Political scandal something something. Maybe it was Maedhros that said that nope, he needed his evening off, he didn't want to babysit his brothers again. Or maybe they were grounded, and it was way after their curfew anyway?

Jokes aside, it has just always seemed so significant for me that it was specifically mentioned that out of all the Fëanorians only Maedhros and Maglor came to the feast.

I really doubt that the invitation was for Maedhros and his Plus One. Fingolfin would have wanted to reunite with all of his nephews. But was it Maedhros' decision to leave his younger brothers in the east? Possibly. Only twenty years have passed since he was rescued from Thangorodrim. We can call it either precaution or paranoia, but I can totally imagine Maedhros deciding that he couldn't leave his realm unguarded. What if Morgoth decided to attack when everyone was having fun at Ivrin? Maybe he even wanted to stay in the March himself - to keep an eye on everything personally. But again - he had to show up at the Feast himself, as a former high king and the head of his house. Not coming might have resulted in a political scandal and caused unnecessary gossip.

But maybe Maedhros' decision was caused by something entirely different? He might have decided to order his brothers to stay in the east, just because he wanted to avoid any potential conflicts. Two camps - the Fëanorians and their supporters & Fingolfin and his people - were still not... on good terms, which is one of the reasons why Maedhros took his brothers and their people and moved to the far east in the first place. He had already got a taste of Caranthir's temper, he might have suspected that something similar would have happened again. It was supposed to be the Feast of Reuniting, not the Feast of Unresolved Family Drama.

Maybe, just maybe, it was actually the younger Fëanorians who rejected the invitation? "Sorry, Nelyo, you really don't think that we will travel THAT far just to smile nicely at Fingolfin?".

Or maybe it was something entirely different or a combination of multiple factors? I guess we'll never know...

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.

if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]

even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.

as someone who has experienced abuse from someone with a personality disorder, it's actually incredibly easy to not dehumanize everyone with a personality disorder. i've seen people do borderline eugenic rhetoric surrounding people who have npd, aspd, bpd or other personality disorders, and then be like "I'M allowed to say these things because i'm a survivor, and if you disagree you are hurting abuse victims."

and frankly? i'm tired of it. as an abuse survivor i'm here to say that you're NOT allowed to turn into a fucking eugenicist the moment you're hurt by someone with a personality disorder.

does hurting and belittling other people who happen to have the same disorder as your abuser, people that are already suffering and that are already looked down on by society, bring you any healing? does it bring you peace?

Being hurt by someone isn't an excuse to hurt others that you feel justified in lashing out on. you're literally in control of your own actions,

you may claim to be making a safe space for abuse survivors, but i will never feel any solidarity with you, and i ESPECIALLY don't feel safe with you considering i might have a personality disorder.

you are excluding a large amount of abuse survivors in the name of "advocacy". a lot of people with personality disorders developed one or multiple due to heavy abuse. in the aim of creating a safe space, you are excluding the ones who need a safe space the most.

a non-comprehensive guide to my favourite characters in claymore, the best manga you've never read (more under the cut)

don't know what I'm talking about? here's a crashcourse.

[bread-wizards]

I actually think Dorian and Orym should fight more.

Remember when their slowly building tension over and entire episode (full of passive aggressive remarks and blame throwing) led to threats? And how after, Orym thanked Dorian for handing over the crown sadly because he knew Dorian would be mad at him? And Dorian couldn't even look at him because he was legitimately hurt, thinking Orym was disappointed in him for doing what he thought was right? That was peak.

The fact they went from that to their current closeness and trust is the best part of their entire dynamic. Their relationship was hard fought and still will be. They will fight for it because they respect and care for one another deeply, and their disagreements don't change that, only improve it.

Thinking about Jon’s time with the Circus again. Thinking about what a month spent in a refrigerated warehouse would do (because it would have to be refrigerated, wouldn’t it? it’s meant to store waxworks), just how cold his skin would be. Do you think it even still felt like his skin? Do you think his fingers brushed the skin of his arm and felt only the inhuman chill of wax, and his arm received the touch of his hand and felt only the dead press of plastic?

Thinking about how thoroughly his time with the Stranger would have made him a stranger to himself.

ID: two digital colored illustrations featuring legolas, gimli, and aragorn. 1) legolas and gimli riding a horse together, with gimli sitting behind legolas in the saddle. legolas is a pale, skinny elf with long pale blonde hair, a big pointed nose, and long pointed ears. he wears green layers and a grayish cloak that matches gimli's and aragorn's. he's holding the reins and looking ahead with a deeply flustered and slightly bewildered expression. gimli is a short stout dwarf with ruddy, long curly hair and beard. he's wearing a helmet, red sleeves, matching cloak and an axe on his back. he grips legolas' sides for stability and looks away in the opposite direction with an equally flustered expression. 2) two drawings of aragorn on his horse. he's a slim man with tanned skin, stubble, and dark brown jaw-length hair. he's wearing a matching cloak and silver vambraces. he's holding the reins and looking behind him with narrowed eyes and an expression of annoyance. the second drawing is him in the same position with the same expression but he's rolling his eyes. end ID

re-reading the two towers again and decided to dig up and color these old sketches
