[sandara-and-coco]

₊˚⊹⋆ Howdy there! It’s finally time for Sandrock's final release yay ₊˚⊹⋆

To celebrate this special occasion Sandara pulled off her jewelry making skills to prepare some unique rings for every sandrocker who wishes to propose to their soulmate ! So without further, here's a little story behind each design,

Qi - Sended an intriguing blueprint to Sandara with complex symbols and diagrams…He assured her that it meant something important to his soulmate so she craved the coded message in precious silver with care. Even if she didn’t get Qi special love language as usual she was sure his loved one would get it ;)

Owen - Our favorite bartender showed an intricate design to Sandara, a delicate pattern almost the same as his own parents' engagement ring. Like the gilding flowers on the cover of a fine book he wished to give his lover the beginning of the story they were about to write together in this life.

Fang - The swan holding a special meaning to him Fang requested Sandara to make his ring the shape of that gracious animal to seal his promise to love and cherish his dearest one forever.

Ernest - Came by with this big and expensive pearl that got a special meaning to him asking Sandara if she could add it to his ring. The pearl symbol of his loyalty and love was carefully placed on the gold ring, the initials of his name and his lover one engraved on the inside.

Pablo - He made a special request to Sandara in search of the most colorful metal they could find for his ring in which bismuth mineral was perfect! Showing how bright and full of all the colors of this world his love was for his chosen one.

Arvio - Insisting on getting the most fine materials Arvio asked for a special ring. He showed Sandara a rare sand flower from Baranarok symbolizing hope and renewal inspiring the shape of that jewel meant to bond him and his other half forever.

Miguel - Requested a rather simple but very elegant ring, made with pale gold with a single diamond to show the purity of his love for his chosen one.

Burgess - Asked for something extra special to convey all his will to live in happiness and kindness with his soulmate. The yellow diamond he chose shining in the center of his ring radiating like the sun all his love.

Pen - In secret Pen demanded the most powerful ring Sandara could make to give his special one great strength and power he’s all for. However he never delivered it himself…

Unsuur - While admiring his collection Unsuur couldn't choose which gem was more fitting so he brought them all to Sandara to make a special ring! (even adding a few shards Wilson lost to make the base of his special ring ;)

Justice - Wanted a pretty ring that still felt like him so Sandara took great care at bringing out Justice strong will and honesty toward his most precious one with this silver and copper ring.

Logan - The only one Sandara didn’t made because well Logan made it himself for his special one! On late hunt nights he sat by the fire and carefully carved this ring in bones with the will to give his loved one something he made with all his heart.

This isn’t much but I hope everyone will have much fun playing and living wonderful adventures with Sandrockers friendly as romantic ones ! As I used to study jewelry making it was very much fun to do and fitting hc that Sandara would make them for the town folks !

It’s been already one year that I have being in this fandom and so so grateful for everything it brought me and the wonderful people it allowed me to meet ♡

I’m currently working on the girl next and some custom ones for my fellow builders who helped me with the designs ◇

₊˚⊹⋆ Happy Sandrock day ! Wish you all the best and see you soon to continue this journey together ₊˚⊹⋆

thinking about “my brother, my captain, my king” and i know realistically it’s meant to be a brothers in arms thing but consider boromir and aragorn actually forming a brotherly relationship in the time that they knew each other

then later when he meets faramir he’s like “welp, your my little brother now” and obviously not replacing boromir, but forming their own kind of brotherly relationship, supporting each other, being there for each other, teasing the fuck out of each other and never giving the other a moment of peace, like siblings do

[minisculecosmos]

I never thought I’d be one for Bagginshield, honestly not sure that I totally am now, but something about reading more into the words they say to each other and in the movies, the overall body language and vibes… like yes I would like to go feral over these two. One interspecies queer platonic relationship coming right up. Brainrot? Absolutely.

[theamethystvampiress]

Adar: *not once having complimented Galadriel's looks, waltzes up to Elrond*: Oh, hi, hey, Cutie....you remind me of your foremother, Melian!! *winks*

What's he gonna be like next week when he runs into his ex??

Adar: *sees Sauron in Eregion, pulls out pictures of the Uruk kids*: *Nervous giggles* This one has your eyes...... Did you miss me? *Shoves Galadriel aside*.

"In their youth, it was rumoured that the Princess Rellana's sorcery mentor and her arms instructor were close, but few knew just how close exactly the two truly were."

Featuring a younger Count Ymir and the soon-to-be Carian knight Dominic, sometime prior to the Land of Shadows.

[camille-lachenille]

What about closeted trans woman Merry? She knows she feels increasingly uncomfortable in her body but not why. Then she helps Éowyn slay the Witch-King and they talk a good deal as they recover while the army goes to the black gate and Merry has a oh. OH! moment, where she realises that she is not a man. At first everyone thought she could help in slaying the Witch-King bc Hobbits aren’t technically of the race of Men and semantics, but Merry just starts shouting I AM NO MAN! each time someone calls her ‘Master Hobbit’. Éomer makes her a Shieldmaiden of Rohan instead of a Knight and it gives Merry intense gender euphoria bc now she has an official title and is sister in arms with Éowyn.

i want a reveal in the backend of s8 to be that buck and tommy secretly eloped in las vegas

[swarvey]

currently falling down the rabbithole of alex x m!farmer, or alex x one of the other bachelors!!

i honestly love how concernedape took a different approach to him being in a relationship with another guy, it just feels a bit more real than him just taking it like any other thing. again, i'm just a sucker for characters that have more depth to them than you first think, so alex has been climbing my list of favorite characters recently <3

Lord of the Rings - The Bachelorette AU

tumblr, here my shower thoughts au ramble.

we have Éowyn as the bachelorette (and of course she eventually ends up with Faramir). we also have the cast try and earn her affections. also everyone is human here as it's a modern universe

more under the cut...

hosted by... gandalf? or co-hosted by gandalf and someone else.

as our other notable *good choices* contestants we have; aragorn (for the dramatic plot-line of her being in love with him and him realising he doesn't want this), boromir (why not), merry (we need them to become besties somehow), maybe pippin, bilbo (sue me he'd be fun), legolas, gimli, lindir, haldir, one or both of the twins (elrohir as the only naturally flirty one or elladan as the charming-quiet-boy competition), and potentially another of the ithilien rangers.

(it would be Beregond - but Beregond is clearly the camera-man/off-stage helper who is wingmaning Faramir the entire time).

now for our bad choice contestants; sauron (fight me it'd be funny), grima (for the drama), saruman (again, for the fun & drama), one or two of the uruks

throughout the series we follow eowyn making her difficult choices, including the producers trying to keep some of the cast on for drama reasons and the others banding against it and for her.

BONUSES FOR OTHER CHARACTERS/THEIR MOTIVATIONS :

Faramir : Is here because Denethor wanted Boromir to be on the show but wasn't specific about which son

Boromir : Is here because Denethor wanted Boromir to be on the show, eventually falls in love with Aragorn

Éomer : The winner of last years Bachelor

Aragorn : Broke up with Arwen and decided why not. comes to the realisation he's gay throughout the production.

double indemnity (1944) -- fred macmurray's wedding ring

"Why don't you settle down and get married, Walter?" "Why don't you, for instance?"

[innytoes]

ok. i can't even read the rest of the list and i imagine there will be other requests for it but... What do you mean, the raccoon stole the ring you planned to propose with? - Willex.

Also for @floating-in-the-blue who did indeed request the same thing and lbr, I put that there as Willex bait.

"What do you mean, you lost the ring?" Julie asked incredulously.

"I mean I lost it!" Alex said, pacing back and forth, back and forth in the studio. "I did something stupid and I lost it and now Willie is never going to marry me because I'm stupid and reckless and-"

"Okay first of all, calm down," Flynn said. "If anyone is into Stupid and Reckless, it's Willie. Didn't you two ride a shopping cart down a hill on your second date?"

"Third," Alex pouted.

"Dude, where did you lose it, we'll help you look," Luke offered. "Or like if you left it in your pocket while doing laundry, we'll... I dunno, as an adultier adult about finding a plumber."

"Oh no it's way worse than that," Reggie piped up, and Alex shot him a glare.

"Shut up this is half your fault."

"Oh, now I know it will be good," Flynn said, leaning forward.

"So you know how we always joke that Willie is secretly a raccoon in human form?" Reggie started, sounding way too cheerful for Alex' liking. He groaned, flopping pathetically onto the rug next to Julie's chair. She patted his head in only mild condescension. Which would soon be full-blown condescension when she learned how stupid he was.

"Yes?" Flynn asked, eager.

"Well, we thought it would be funny to get a picture of Alex proposing to a real raccoon. You know, to post online after Willie said yes."

It would have been funny. Willie would have thought it was hilarious. He didn't like posting pictures of himself on social media, after so long being a photo prop for his rich foster dad, but Alex kind of wanted something to obnoxiously put online because he knew his mom still stalked his socials from time to time.

"So we went over to that pizza place, you know the one, because there's usually some raccoons hanging out behind it near the dumpsters. And we found one and lured it with some marshmallows, and then Alex got out the ring to propose, and I got a few shots, but just as I was lining up the perfect angle..."

"It grabbed the ring and took off," Alex finished miserably.

"We tried to get it back but... raccoons are fast when they want to be!" Reggie shrugged. "I took a video, though. You know, so maybe we could identify the raccoon later and try again."

He was pretty sure Reggie took a video to lord over him forever, because the sight of Alex chasing a raccoon around a parking lot and then begging and waving marshmallows at it at the bottom of a telephone pole was kind of pathetic and something that could be used as blackmail.

"So the raccoon stole the ring you were going to propose with," Julie said, slowly, so slowly. Like she was judging him. Which was fair. Alex was judging himself. On the couch, the sound of Luke and Flynn stifling laughter made everything a million times worse.

"What do you mean the raccoon stole the ring you planned to propose with?" A new voice asked from the door opening.

Alex looked up, wishing the earth would swallow him whole. "Willie," he said, his voice high pitched and creaky. "Hi! Um. I can explain."

"I think I got the gist of it," Willie said, his eyes sparkling and dancing with mirth.

"I'm so, so, so sorry," Alex said. "I thought you'd find it funny!"

"Oh trust me, I do," Willie said, moving to pull him up from his miserable lump on the ground. "And I'm going to want to see that video later," he told Reggie.

"Please no," Alex whined, even though Reggie was totally going to plug it into the big TV in the house so everyone could enjoy it, probably.

"Don't worry about it, Hotdog," Willie soothed, pulling him into a hug. Alex hid his face in his shoulder, letting the feel of his boyfriend's arms around him calm him down a little. Even when everything was shit, he always felt a little better in Willie's arms.

"I lost your engagement ring over trying to make a funny meme," he pointed out.

"Well," Willie said, pulling away. Before Alex knew what was happening, he got down on one knee in front of him, pulling a ring out of his back pocket. "It's a good thing I still have mine, then. Alex Mercer, will you marry me?"

Do you ever cry because Eddie has never in his life gotten to live for himself or have his own dreams. He was parentified from a young age, and then his girlfriend got pregnant when he was still basically a child, and he's spent all his time since then trying to make a living and take care of those who are dependent on him. Even his job revolves around helping and saving other people, and he didn't get into that because it's something he feels passionate about, but because he already had a background in saving people in the army, and he only got into that because it was one of very few ways for someone his age to support a family. He's literally never, ever been afforded the luxury of thinking about his own desires. Even his dating life revolves around finding a replacement mom for Christopher.

It's no wonder this man is not happy. He has never had the chance to consider what would make him happy. He probably doesn't even know how to begin to figure that out. It's a muscle that's completely atrophied from lack of use.

Dear @faisonsunreve thanks for the tag. This was definitely a time taking task but so much fun to do. A true time travel to your watching history. To my surprise there are three French films and three Tom Hanks films included. 😄

A few comments about certain choices.

Favorite film of all time: The Thief of Bagdad (1940): The jewel of the film is Conrad Veidt’s insane Jaffar dressed up with the turban.

Best script: Some Like It Hot (1959): The story about two antihero musicians trying to make a living and avoiding gangsters by dressing as women and joining a female band and traveling to Miami is still unique to watch.

Favorite poster: The Empire Strikes Back (1980): Memories from the childhood. Darth Vader’s perhaps a little too epic posture promises you an emotional adventure and that promise will be fulfilled.

"I’ll watch it some day": Napoléon (1927): @missholson and I were introduced to this 6-hour biopic of Napoleon and we were stunned by the shots of the twenty-minute triptych sequence, where widescreen panorama is made by projecting multiple-image montages simultaneously on three screens. Blu-ray is waiting on the shelf.

Big personal impact: Elvis (2022): I wasn’t prepared for the narrative where female gaze and male vulnerability are allowed and validated.

You like, but everyone hates: Angels & Demons (2009): Don’t know today’s reception but when it was released the film was heavily criticized by the critics and the audience. I like both this and The Da Vinci Code (2006), but having more convincing characters, plot and hold for the entirety makes it better than the first one.

Underrated: The Ninth Gate (1999): Polanski is a very contradictory director for his sexual abuse charges, therefore it feels shameful to admit liking his films or considering his films to be valued. Many find Gate as a dull thriller. The film doesn’t rely on jump scares or gore but the mystery around the occult books and the things you can’t see. 

"Why do I like this?": Bachelor Party (1984): This is my favourite question of them all. I discussed with @faisonsunreve about on what basis you should answer this and does it reveal your true movie taste. The 80’s crazy comedy is a silly and out-dated genre and that is why the films of this era fascinate me. Bachelor Party is full of lame humor and over-the-top characters. Yet the storyline is versatile and entertaining. Young Tom Hanks embodies the past. 

Great soundtrack: La Cage aux Folles (1978): Ennio Morricone has said first he has to understand the film, the images, the story and the director’s intentions before starting to compose. I would like to know his study for Folles, because the soundtrack has such a humorous, characteristic and warm sound. 

That cinematography: Furiant (2015): I was balancing between Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) and La double vie de Véronique (1991), but this short film stands out with the way the rural landscapes, the dimly lit rooms and the unspoken moments are visualized (and edited) by the producer, director, writer, cinematographer and editor Ondřej Hudeček.

Criminally overlooked: Angélique film series (1964-68): Yes, you could put almost any Conrad Veidt film here, however I chose this. I have been fond of Angélique films since I was a child. These spectacles tell the story of Angélique in the time of King Louis XIV of France. Romance, adventure, scheming with breathtaking soundtrack and costume design, beautiful Michèle Mercier in the leading role and the flashy way of speaking French offer us an exquisite interpretation from the 60’s. 

Favorite active director: Peter Strickland: I have seen only The Duke of Burgundy (2014) and Flux Gourmet (2022), nevertheless his style of using the aesthetics of Italian genre films and the intimacy he creates is just heartwarming.

Anyone who wants to make their own version, please do and let me know. 📼📀📦🔦

a while ago, when i was writing not shy of a spark, i wrote this one specific sentence: "Regulus is sprawled on the couch in their flat with Aristotle’s Poetics in his hand, not giving up on it even thought he feels like his brain is going to spill out of his ears soon."

however, the thing is, back then i had no clue what i was saying because i had not read a single work by Aristotle.

now, i'm doing my literary studies homework, reading Plato's and Aristotle's arguments about poetry, which of course includes Aristotle's poetics, and i get paper rings Regulus in that scene on such a personal level because me too, dude, me fucking too.

imagine going out to get your goth groceries and taking your goth boat back to your goth house and then on your goth doorstep by your freshly pruned goth shrubs lining the walkway there’s this girl with pink hair whining about how your goth house isn’t cute at all and you’re just standing there holding your goth bag of carrots and the roast you were going to have for dinner like “oh no”
