#maker's marks

[tanoraqui]

I know Maker's Marks is being put aside until you figure some stuff out (which! i'm very excited to see your eventual decisions!) but i MUST ask because i've been burning with curiosity: is legolas involved in the fellowship and how does That go in terms of this, essentially, redneck baby elf and celebrimbor interacting???

Legolas is ABSOLUTELY still involved in the Fellowship! I need to include some short conversation that's like,

Legolas: I'm sorry for playing the 'the Noldor can't be in charge of everything again, it's not fair and we'll probably all die' card. I don't actually bear any grudges, and nor does my father. I just really wanted to be involved in this quest to determine the fate of the world.

Celebrimbor: Aren't your woods infested with spiders and wraiths? Surely you know that quests are terrible and fate is worse.

Legolas: That may be. But for my people and myself, I still want to be involved.

Celebrimbor: You're innocent and ignorant but okay, fair enough.

...basically, I think they're both quite competent in very different areas - woodcraft, archery, hearing and speaking the slow and quiet Songs of nature, vs. creative craft for art and war, Songs put to use - and can recognize that and just kinda...be co-workers? With the mutual recognition/understanding of unrelated royal princes who would rather pursue their own work than do diplomacy, and have mostly been able to do that.

My vague headcanon is that Legolas's non-reaction to the Star of Fëanor on the Doors of Durin means he's heard of the guy, sure, and what horrors the Oath wrought, including against Legolas's, like, grandparents...but Thranduil generally took a "the past is in the past, let's focus on our beautiful woodland realm rather than dwell on it" approach to his son's education, so Legolas doesn't really think of it as relevant to himself. Which, after all, at this point in time, it's not! Some older elves still hold grudges, but damn, Legolas has spiders to fight!

Celebrimbor, meanwhile - well, he does look down a little on anyone who doesn't pursue creative arts, but not in a mean way? "We can't all be classically educated jewelsmiths with a natural affinity for the most interesting and important things in the world :/", like.

Legolas is actually older if you don't count time spent dead, which you arguably shouldn't, because (I headcanon) he was born in the early Third Age when Sauron's defeat had left everyone in what seemed like ultimate peace. He has spent literally about 2000 years guarding his realm against Dol Goldur. But Celebrimbor lived through All The Shit going down; there is Light in his eyes and Darkness in his memory, as well as fire, Wrath, creation and torment. So overall Legolas is like, "hey, this guy is pretty neat!" and Celebrimbor is like, "this guy hasn't seen the level of shit we're going to deal with, but he's seen some shit, so I'm glad he's on watch each night", and if left alone together they'd either do their own things in companionable silence or swap stories of weird, shadow-warped shit they've each fought.

Jewish Maker Rachel D. Mark is crafting miniature Yahrzeit Memorial Candles as a fundraiser for Palestinian families. For those unfamiliar with the tradition, Jewish mourners light one of these long-burning candles on the anniversary of a loved one's death. Rachel's candles are 1:12 scale, measuring just 1/2"H x 1/4"D. Made with real glass dollhouse cups, Yehuda Yahrzeit Memorial Candle wax, and cotton thread wick. You can purchase one for $36 here.

In her own words:

This past March, I purchased an extra yahrzeit memorial candle when I was celebrating the life of my late brother, Daniel. At that time, I began making 32 miniature candles of grief to honor the 32,000 Palestinians slaughtered in the ongoing genocide. The project has since expanded and I will continue to make these little candles as an expression of the deep grief we feel for those lost to such terror and violence. Anti-Zionism is not the same as anti-Semitic. We, as a people, have always been and will continue to be nomadic tribes. It is not anti-Semitic to question the Israeli government's apartheid-turned-genocide of the Palestinian people. Nor is it anti-Patriotic for an American to question the US government's continued funding of this mass genocide. I am using my art and faith to raise money for organizations actively lobbying US Congress for a ceasefire and organizations directly supporting Palestinians on the ground. All proceeds from sales will be documented and shared transparently.

Her goal is to raise $1,000 through candle sales. All proceeds will be donated to Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP, JewishVoiceForPeace.org), United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA.org), and Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS, palestinercs.org).

Again, the link to buy a candle is here.

When my mom and i go to old graveyards we play a game where we try to find the oldest grave and shout out the year of death to eachother when we see one earlier than the last

And if you’re missing a lost loved one, I pray a reunion in Jannah is written for you.

It’s an absolute crime that this one isn’t on The List yet (see what I did there?)

As a Mrs. Seresin Simp™️, in honor of her husband’s love of them, how about Jake + mimosas?

Cheers, BB™️🥂🍾

Alli, these aren't just any mimosas—they are cranberry and prosecco mimosas. Mrs. Seresin most definitely serves them to coax Jake into checking a few things off their holiday to-do list. As a fellow Mrs. Seresin Simp™️, I'll be imbibing along side you. Cheers, my BB™️! 🥂🍾
