Elwing = Vingilot?

I just realized that, I think, Eärendil named his ship after his wife?

Elwing means "star-foam" in Sindarin. That latter root in Quenya is wingë (combining form wingi-), the first element of Wingilótë "Foam-flower" (which later shifts to Vingilot), and then "flower" is an obvious feminine element.

So Eärendil voyaged far from home without his wife, but he named his ship after her so she'd kinda always be with him... and then she did join him at sea, under the most tragic circumstances they could imagine.

But then together, against all odds, they succeed. And while Elwing can't join him on his voyages through the stars, his new ship of mithril and of elven-glass is also named after her, so she's still kinda with him.

#peredhil #always giving me feelings #😭#silm #tolkien linguistics #earendil #elwing #vingilot #they're both earthbound and then learn to fly #bringing hope in desperate times #the ship as woman #thing does feel a little dehumanizing #but idk also cute?

chilaios telepathy compilation. btw.

also these ones arent telepathy i just think its fun that they defend eachother + are on the same page about alchohol :

#chilaios #theres probably/definitely more instances of them doing telepathy but ive already stalled so much time for doing my work so #yall can add the ones i missed #dungeon meshi spoilers #????? i guess??????#anyways this is why im insane about that “laios... you get it right?!” line because like. he usually does get it. they get eachother.#theyve reached a point where they can have a whole PLAN sorted out by looking at eachother.#of course chil would desperately hope that LAIOS would be the guy to understand #laios the one chil understands. laios the one who tries so hard to understand chil. laios the one who brings chilchuck out of his spiraling #when no one else will.#of course HE would get it. of course. LAIOS will get it. LAIOS will see through that weird fake. he doesnt see him that way.#..........right?#OH i want to convert some people with this actually so im gonna main tag #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #: ) hello dungeon meshi fandom. in front of you is a table with the papers required to convert into a chilaios shipper. you have 30 seconds #to sign them and if you dont i will personally apologize for wasting your time

The semi-rewatch of the s3 finale validated my past self's affection for Lucy Saxon

Every single new who showrunner, RTD included, repeatedly: Check out this character who is a dark mirror of the Doctor! RTD, his brain huge: Yes yes but how about we give them a dark mirror of a companion?

#doctor who #blah blah blah #lava klanka is watching you #if going on a trip with a time lord makes young women detached from their normal lives; desensitized to violence; desperate to impress him #- then what happens if that time lord has malicious intentions and does this specifically to break them?#lucy doesn't have a lot of screentime but it's so clear what's going on with her throughout it #like. even beyond the doctor-companion parallels #the way she loses hope in the future and commits to the “bring on the apocalypse! let us be the hot evil couple!” attitude #despite not actually having the stomach for even witnessing violence up close #as long as she can find comfort/excitement/catharsis in the epic scale of the events #...flash forward a year to the full awareness of the terrible mundanity of evil

#You'd think of all times I'd be having stress dreams right now‚ but I'm not actually #In fact usually my dreams are horrible things of dreadful desperate danger and darkness and blood. Losing my children‚ losing other people #who trust me to help and save them.#But they've all been things like “woman is criticizing my soap bottles” (🤨) and “there's a tornado - but it doesn't hit us actually” and #“you missed a phone call btw”#But it's not that I'm not stressed. I am. I am tied up in all sorts of knots over this pending divorce hearing. And the pending CPS case.#<- That's going to court btw. Dallas has had a full year to do the mandatory six weeks counseling and has opted not to finish it‚ so they'r #taking him to court over it to codify that he is not allowed to have anything to do with us.#Fine by me‚ him being legally prevented from having anything to do with us has always been my hope. It'll be a hassle for me having to #*also* appear in court‚ but overall a small price to pay. And it also removes my last theological objections to the divorce;#the unbelieving has chosen to depart indeed.#So! *Good* news. But also not not-stressful.#(My back is *killing* me and it gets worse the closer February 6th looms.)#On the other hand I REFUSE to worry. Because there is No. Way. that God would bring us this far just to abandon us now.#And His fingerprints are *all over* the last two years.#(I am still not precisely 'looking forward' to the court appearances.)#Anyway. Fun stuff‚ fun stuff.#Nattering into the void

i think i've finally reached the extremely esoteric, difficult-to-understand, hyper-metaphorical and weird part of Pathologic. Thing is, it's all the way on day 10, so wtf are people who've only played half of day 1 complaining about

#i guess they talk a little about all the weird Kain shit on day 1 #but things genuinely have not been difficult to get up until now #like... every time i talk to someone at this point im like. are they yanking my fucking chain #i'm having a tough time parsing all the Kain bullshit basically #pathologic #soliloquy #can i be real for a minute btw.#this game is fucking incredible #the atmosphere is fucking... chefs kiss #the feeling that i've lost any control over the plot or what happens in the town #the constant gunshots. the hisses of the fire corps. it's devastating and nerve-wracking and it makes me sick #just sort of desperately hoping that Burakh brings back good news about the origin of the plague #the tired acceptance that i can no longer pursue my leads or goals. starving the whole time #man.#this is a good game

man sometimes i think about life series bigb and his abandonment issues. man.

#secret life spoilers #only in the tags but still #like. just thinking about the fact that multiple times this season hes thought the heart foundation was gonna kick him out #that he can’t bring himself to treat the heart foundation like more than a part time gig. because he’s convinced it has to fall apart on him #but he’s Desperate for it to stay the way it is #tango comes up to him and tells him he’s low on hearts and he immediately panics and tries to help #tango starts talking about killing himself on a berry bush and he and skizz IMMEDIATELY break the ones around him #like he doesn’t want to admit he cares about them because that means he has to accept the hurt if they hurt him #but My God does he care about them #i hope they in combination with nosey neighbors starts to fix something within him really truly

Man oni can't do this to me I'm supposed to be preparing for artfight but all I can think abt is Them™ from the second I wake up to the moment I go to bed how am I supposed to prepare in these circumstances 😔

#rat rambles #oni posting #and dude the beta is probably still going to be going during that time klei how could you do this to me #like I will still be participating in artfight but I fear Ill be on oni lockdown for the first week or smth dhskdhkdh #Ill try to at least sketch some stuff out but god if I can get my hands onto any amount of lore its so jover #now thats not a guarantee this is a beta after all but god man. fuck.#also I need to know the new dupes name right now its important #mostly because I want confirmation that I got z on the cypher right lol #chances are theyll just have another a name or smth #who knows maybe theyll have a w name and be the second ever contender for being sent to the constant #although for all we know there could be plenty more w names in the cast that are just hidden in the full names like with nails #I am in such agony rn with seemingly every place ppl post abt oni being dead silent still hello is anyone there #I thought Id at least see some more speculative stuff on the gameplay side of things but Ive seen like 2 things where ppl even bring it up #tbf some of the new stuff seems pretty obvious to deduce to me like there's no way the new fox deers dont produce lumber #and we already know the bunny guys (or the big one at least) provides reed fiber at least #the plants are mostly more mysterious tho #we have the obvious one being our new bestie the oxylite plant and the lil puffball tree thats probably the new decor plant #and the crystal grapes are probably going to be a new muckroot equivalent and at least one of the new plants probably produces smth edible #as for what recourses they need we know that at least 2 of them need watered in some way #Im currently betting theyll need ethanol but thats not based on a lot #honestly if any of them use plain ol water or even any water variants Ill be surprised #I wouldn't be surprised if most of them take ethanol or some liquid gas or smth #I still am holding out on a plant that consumed liquid carbon dioxide but Im not too hopeful #one thing Im very curious on is just everything abt how the oxylite plant grows I wanna know how good itll be so bad #because I am a proud member of the desperately wants more viable oxygen production option in oni gang and I wanna see this baby flourish #but based on how seemingly abundant it is Im afraid itll just join the squad of early game oxygen options that become too much of a hassle #to sustain late game so you're usually just going to switch to exlectroliszers each time #I hope Im wrong but I wont be surprised if Im not #they already took one oxygen plant out back and shot it dead so this guy might just be a corpse on arival if we're unlucky #well hey thats why there's a beta ig gotta make sure things are balanced or whatever

by gods, for all that i fucking hated the second half of season 9 and had been hating Fiona's characterization since season 5 basically, her leaving doesn't get easier even if you watch the scenes 50 fucking times

#Shameless did Fiona dirty not gonna lie #her characterization progressively getting worse through the season only hurts second to what the show made out of Lip #Ian Gallagher truly the only character to have escaped Paul Abbott's characterization relatively unscathed and staying dear and lovable #till the very last minute #but also i did start on S10 and #popular opinion: Debbie is so fucking annoying and irritating #and a whole entire sack of absolutely irrelevant and nonsensical character traits. season 1 debbie would've roasted s10 debbie on open fire #possibly not so popular opinion: Paul Abbott is actually fucking bad at writing female characters with the exception of V and V ONLY #(okay Mandy too)#and the reason Debbie is fucking abhorrent is because she's literally written as later-seasons Fiona. She's her.#they were both fucked characterizations #it's just that Fiona had a bite and entered into games from the top spot; she took control of the situations naturally #because she //had// power. And Debbie has none. so she looks desperate and try-hard. Emmy Rossum brought a bitch flavour to Fiona #that Emma Kenney just can't bring to Debbie #¯\_(ツ)_/¯#not that i care. the entirety of Shameless cast have more or less become absolete in narrative and plot save Kev and V and Ian/Mickey #I hope Cameron Monaghan's health insurance covered for the fucked up back he got #from carrying Shameless US' only substantial and heartfelt and meaningful plotline for 12 years basically #Lip used to be wonderful. Hell; they all used to be wonderful. and by the time we get to S10 there's basically nothing left of the show #save Ian and Mickey. that's it.

#I’ve been thinking (and being alone with my thoughts like this is sometimes dangerous but what can ya do)#and like. I think I’ve been trying to make my standards high when it comes to dating to protect myself from getting hurt #which. of course? why wouldn’t I? but like. I think I tried to make my standards impossibly high so that when nobody lived up to them #I could just be like ‘oh! how sad! anyway it’s safer for me to be single because [whatever bullshit reason I can come up with]’#and this does protect me from getting hurt. but it also protects me from good things like. being intimate with someone.#which. if I were to be perfectly honest? that’s the only thing in my life I think I’ve ever really wanted more than anything #but of course I’m scared of that. because being intimate with someone requires opening up to them.#laying yourself bare and hoping they stick around after seeing what you bring to the table.#and like. I feel like I’m the guy who is firmly planted in one of the tails of a normal distribution #(and I’m not talking about the better-than-average part of the distribution if you get what I mean)#so like. I know there probably aren’t a lot of people who would stick around after I took off all my masks and laid myself bare before them #and I haven’t met many people I’d be willing to try that for #but sometimes. someone comes into your life and you feel like you’re ready to risk it all #but you don’t. because being vulnerable is a dangerous place to be. feeling as desperate as I do at times is a dangerous place to be #and so I’m probably not going to risk anything. but. listen like #why.. if my standards are so high.. is there this person in my life capable of meeting all of them.#and why.. when I’m this out of my mind for someone.. do there seem to be so many obstacles between me and them #why do I always fall for the ones who listen to me and show me kindness when I’m fragile.#even when there isn’t a chance in heaven or hell that it’s gonna work out.#why do I often think about how many times we’ve hugged. why do I want to live up to their high opinion of me.#why do I play the things they’ve said to me over and over in my head like a broken record.#why do I always have to obsess about the people I fall for. why can’t I just be normal about this.#like. this is starting to get in the way of my everyday life. it’s occupying my mind most of the time. this can’t be healthy.#in short. why the Fuck am I Like This and How Do I Stop.

For a moment I genuinely thought there was a character named William Honkai and I accidentally gaslighted myself into thinking I forgot jdnxksnsksns

Huhuuu I haven't been updated in honkai in a while, but I've seen ads. Ig it's another summer event???

Also, the return of the jimjams aksjsdkk

lmao I'm so sorry for the confusion, I'm not any better tho, I spent like an hour trying to find a name for him on the wiki before I gave up and called him that 💀

I am still just as far behind on the story as ever lol I've played a bit of the newest event just so I could get Polite Pow Pow Punch (arguably in the top 10 names for Kalpas)

I say return of the jimjams like I'm not forcing them into every fic lmao I swear it's not on purpose

#other herrscher anon!! 🧡🧡#the amount of time i spend on the wiki.... it's so bad #i am hoping they bring back the flame chaser summer event #like desperately praying lol #i really loved that event 😭😭

Anyhow I just got a misandric reply so let me be real crystal fucking clear here. I tolerate no hate on my blog of any kind. So if you come here and clown on my posts it's on fucking sight.

#how desperate for attention must you be to comment misandric shit on a post that tries to call out this very behavior #how desperate must you be to twist a ''stop hating men for no reason'' into a ''men have done nothing wrong ever''#how desperate must you be to turn a nuanced post into a false dichotomy hoping your aggression will win against reason #do not bring your toxicity to a place that seeks to offer equality #and for the last fucking time. masculinity and men arent the issue. the system is. a system upheld by people of any gender #i cant believe the lack of reading comprehension. and of basic fucking decency

not to be dramatic but I literally feel like I’m going insane lol

#first of all I must acknowledge the percy of it all. I don’t know how many of you are reading those posts and honestly I’m not conveying #how I feel very well but I’m so deadly serious when I say I feel sick when I think about those books and not even in a bad way necessarily #just nauseous whatever. second most pressing issue is the whole “am I going to drop out transfer suck it up or kill myself”#okay I’m really not considering that last one I have to live to see dani in july but I haven’t the slightest clue what I’m gonna do next #year. on one hand I hope this school explodes on the other transferring sounds so unfun but back to the first hand I hate this city #and I hope it explodes to and I have nobody I know to live with off campus next year and tbh I would rather die than live w sarah suitemate #which brings us to sarah suitemate. how in the hell is my only friend in this god forsaken city like kind of subtly homophobic #In addition to kind of being a bad fucking person. like lol! yes ladies six months deep with no other friends and I Am that desperate #also it’s the very beginning of the quarter and I kind of hate all my classes. okay I know they just started and it’s very early to judge #but I already feel like I’m going crazy I preferred my other two quarters where I was eating literally 12 credits I was satisfied with that #I’m just scared and lonely can I say that outright is it embarrassing to admit that outright at 11am on tumblr #the only thing that gives me comfort genuinely is just repeating that “everything works out in the end” saying bc I really do believe that #even though I hope my closest friend within a reasonable radius of me drops dead and I’m directionless and I want to kill myself #whenever I think about the book I’m reading it will all be okay #anyways time to eat the pastry I got from the campus market is not a good time to tell you guys I didn’t eat breakfast or could you tell #carmen.txt

my tooth hurts so bad I can’t sleep

#I’m visiting friends #it was supposed to be a relaxing break 🙃#because now that it’s dropped below 30 degrees living in the trailer gets a lot harder #so ya know it’s nice to visit and beat the cold for a while #but nah instead I’ve been having a really really quiet breakdown for two hours while my friends sleep #cause they gotta get up early for work ya know? and my anxiety already makes me hate being here even though they invited me #because it’s still on the pretense of getting out of the cold and even though they’re friends I don’t want them to feel obligated to me just #just cause it’s cold out. that’s not their job #so they bring me into their home to do me a favor and I repay it by being neurotic in the middle of the night. sorry. again #bruh I just wanna catch a break. even my breaks are exhausting #the tank is running empty yall #I haven’t been able to afford going to the dentist for over a year and a half #and I’ve desperately needed to go. I wasn’t even able to afford everything I needed the time I went before that #so my teeth have been extra shit and only getting worse #I just hope the pain goes away #this was supposed to be a break…..#if I don’t focus on other sounds the ringing in my ears becomes unbearable #I’m sitting near a rather noisy heater and it’s drowning even that out at times #and as per usual. god won’t let me die

My campaign is verified and added to the Gaza Donations page with number 192.

Thank you for documenting my campaign from the following accounts:

@sar-soor @heba-20

@el-shab-hussein

@90-ghost @soon-palestine

@ibtisams @marnota @riding-with-the-wild-hunt @i-am-aprl @northgazaupdates @fallahifag @fairuzfan

I love you all 🙏🙏♥️🌹

I am Mohammed Almanasra, 32 years old, married, and a father of three children: Abdulrahman, 6 years old, Sarah, 4 years old, and Lina, 3 years old.

My story began with the loss of my parents and four of my sisters, who were bombed and lost their lives along with their children after the events of October 7 and the severe war on Gaza. Now, I am facing a severe injury to my leg, which is at risk of amputation if I do not receive the necessary treatment. My wife, children, and I are displaced, without parents or siblings, and my wife is also suffering from uterine cancer.

Recently, I moved to the south of the Gaza Strip, fearing for the lives of my children. We left behind our memories and our new home, for which we had not finished paying the installments, in addition to losing my job. Currently, I live in a tent that does not protect me from the heat of summer or the cold of winter, and without the minimum necessary livinng basics including water, food medical care, clothe and even bedding .

I suffer from a chronic asthma and severe attacks from tightness and an extreme allergy in the ear and I need medicine that are not available, or very expensive .

Under these difficult circumstances, after five attempts at displacement and narrowly escaping death from the bombing, I am trying with all my might to protect my family, the most precious thing I have.

My dreams were shattered, and my house was destroyed, and I found myself living in a tent no larger than 4 square metres. My work turned from a tailor to a street vendor in order to barely buy a few crumbs of bread to feed my children.

Look at what happened to my children because of the intense heat and the insects that thrive in the summer season. Every day, I take them to the hospital to treat them due to poisonous insect bites. I implore every kind-hearted soul to help me protect my children.

My son, Abdul Rahman, has a deep passion for playing football and is a devoted fan of Real Madrid. He always dreamed of playing football at his school, but the war prevented this dream from coming true.

Where are you, Real Madrid fans ?

Help Abdul Rahman achieve his dream.

Every donation will make an enormous difference in helping me save my family.

I feel very sad and embarrassed to ask for help, but I have no other options left. I know that this request is difficult, but I also know that there is still humanity and living consciences and I believe in miracles.

Your support during this extremely difficult time will give us hope in the midst of devastation and despair.

If you have any inquiries or questions, feel free to ask me, please!

To everyone with a compassionate heart,

To all who understand the essence of humanity,

This is a message from my innocent children, who trust that their words will reach everyone who truly understands the meaning of childhood.

We cry out to you, asking you to feel our sorrow and pain, and to extend a helping hand to us in this time when we are in desperate need of your mercy and compassion.

My name is being repeatedly added to many public and private donation campaigns. Please, be a support for me in this difficult situation.
