Heads Up Seven Up
I was tagged by @that-angry-noldo to share the last seven lines I wrote in my WIP! Thank you for the summons!
From To Partake:
He had let his anger get the better of him. He realizes that now, like a cold shock to his spine, here in the dark alone. He had overreacted. That is why he is so angry. He is not angry at Elrond, not really. Ereinion is angry with himself. He does not know how he will be able to stand facing Elrond tomorrow.
And from Beneath a Boundless Sky
He meant to broach the idea to Istiel, so she could put the question to her people. To our people, Elrond fiercely reminded himself. My people. Sometimes he wondered if it had been a mistake to refuse to take on any mantle of formal leadership for the remnants of Doriath. He only had not wished to tempt them to name him king — a title Elrond neither wanted nor felt that he deserved — with his Ñoldorin braids and his Fëanorian accent and his ignorance to his own childhood customs. He knew that it was hardly his fault, but there had been plenty of others who were better qualified than he was to lead the Doriathrim. Istiel had been their second choice, and Elrond’s first.
I think most people have already played by now, but just in case I am tagging @raointean @thesolarangel and @greyjedijaneite and whomever else has not played yet but would like to!
#to partake#beneath a boundless sky#these are both so angsty haha#but i'm at that spot rn in both fics#i just think there's no getting around the fact that Elrond was basically colonized as a child and i think that's something he had to#come to terms with#and sort of get used to reclaiming his cultural heritage#celeborn helped a lot#anyway#that doesn't show up often in my work but every once in a while it does rear its ugly ass head#yay trauma!#but i do think it's pretty significant that Elrond overwhelmingly aligns himself with the Sinda in the books#when he was pretty unarguably raised Noldorin from about the age of 7 onward and then was plunged into involvement in a very Noldorin court#as a young adult#or perhaps even younger than that#i have a LOT of thoughts about Elrond's relationship with his Sinda half#which are not going to fit here in the tags

The Hobbit’s official movie books really push the original timeline as the film one (despite 0 aging of characters in flashbacks pfft) BUT they also present Balin as the most ‘aged’ of the Company in both appearance and description at 178, despite Thorin — visibly far younger — being 17 years older than him.
It’s a conundrum, but I got an idea when I noticed Dwalin in the books supposedly lives to 340, even though a dwarf living to just 300 is supposed to be as rare as a human making it to 100! There’s been arguments that that was just a ‘typo’ on Tolkien’s part, but what if it wasn’t? What if we roll with that? Dwalin did look shockingly younger than Balin even though he’s just 9 years younger! That’s just 3 if you take it in human years!
So, using that 340 as inspiration and a base line, what if we say the direct line of Durin the Deathless plus the occasional offshoot like Dwalin just age slower than the typical dwarf? That their max baseline is closer to 300-350 or even 350-400 versus the usual 250-300? Because, if we go with, say, 400 as Thorin’s base max, suddenly we go from ‘Thorin should look older than Balin’ to ‘he’s in the human equivalent of his late 40s,’ and that seems much closer to the slightly aged up Richard Armitage we got in movies, doesn’t it?
This would also mean Thorin IS older than Balin despite their dynamic, but hey—sometimes your younger cousin is just wiser than you. 😂
#the hobbit#thorin oakenshield#balin#dwalin#been trying to pin this down to figure out how fast Thorin would age in a He Lives AU#if you’re curious? my take would make Thorin ‘late 40s’ in The Hobbit ‘early 60s’ in the LotR opening and ‘late 60s’ by the end#this of course all ignores visible ages in the flashbacks but how are you supposed to rectify those? Jackson should have used younger actor#there’s also a line in the movie books claiming Dwalin (and thus Balin) IS older but then you’ve got the book birthdates IN THE FILM so idk#not to mention the Sack of Erebor '2 centuries prior' HOW WAS THORIN ALIVE AND AWARE DURING THAT IF HE'S 'WELL YOUNGER' THAN A 178 YEAR OLD#haven’t really considered his nephews in this but perhaps they’d have a slightly more extended lifespan. just not Thorin long#I also like this because Armitage talks somewhere about Thorin 'feeling' older than he looks & that makes sense since he SHOULD look older#he's just aging slower than those around him. even among his own people.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...
Who's the fairest of them all?
#lowkey cringy caption but I thought it was fitting given the context#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#original character#who I still haven't figured out a tag system for lmao#Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness#alternative title: what a difference half a lifetime can make#summiya at 18/19 vs summiya at 34/35 is like night and day. she barely even looks like herself anymore#or maybe.. she looks more like herself than she ever did? what came before wasn't her. it was an empty porcelain doll devoid of personality#hiding the rotten nature underneath that's been steadily seeping through#and now that she has been thoroughly destroyed her outward appearance finally reflects what she was like inside all along#but just as she manages to convince herself of it. she looks in the mirror and refuses to accept that this is who she really is#where did that gorgeous girl who was so excited for her wedding day go? or the one who lit up upon being showered with compliments?#what happened to them? to her? how did she sink so low?#she was supposed to be better than this... better than her siblings. she was always better than Zaheer and Aiza#but now she's easily the worst of the free. their betrayal doesn't even compare#she deserves death for what she did. she looks at the bruising on her throat and wonders why it wasn't enough#why he didn't press just a little harder. then at least she wouldn't have to live with the shame#how awful of her to wish for that. she is getting what was coming to her. she did all of that for the shame. it is her punishment#she doesn't get the mercy of dying and escaping the consequences of her actions#she is by no means innocent. what's happening now is simply justice being enacted. she's sure of it#she's alone and ruined and miserable. having driven away everyone who could have possibly cared for her. not that anyone did#perhaps it's better that way. maybe then no one else will look at her and realise just how different she looks from her younger self#she wasn't happy back then either but she was content. she was taking the first step towarcs the perfect life she was promised#now that very save perfect life is crashing and burning all around her. perhaps it was inevitable. it was always going to end this way#(sleepy tags so I apologise if they make no sense whatsoever or are just rehashes of stuff I've said before.

this being the first theory battler has lampshaded and discarded as a joke is making me extremely 👁
#umineko liveblog#like. everything else has been taken seriously even when it's stupid#but this is outright dismissed the second it's mentioned. surely not..........#ough but wait. the possibility of the captive beatrice falling pregnant is rather high#and there are several plausible scenarios with which a hidden child could work#i mean if we go full cliche then the answer here is that nanjo somehow helped beatrice hide the child#making him like double compromised with kinzo. almost like a moral stalemate even#also given the date the mansion was built we can assume this kid would be in their early/mid 30s present day#only known candidate on rokkenjima who fits the criteria would be rosa but that doesn't really makes sense#either that or gohda is a good 10-15 years younger than you'd think he is#but then i'm thinking about the ushiromiya shannon stuff and wondering if there isn't an orphanage link#not that shannon's the beatrice child because she's 15 years too young for that#but perhaps the kid was concealed in the orphanage and this is where the furniture stuff comes in?#every single servant kid is less than human unless they prove themselves to be a worthy substitute for the lost child#and the abuse comes from the fact that they also bear the brunt of kinzo's rage at this kid for having slipped out of his grasp#and of course none of the servant children can ever compare to kinzo's ideal so the cycle perpetuates forever#furniture in that they're being punished for not innately being an ushiromiya successor#this also feeds into the beatrice/kinzo becoming stuff too at a slightly different angle#the children are brought on expected to carry fragments of both beatrice and kinzo and tormented when they fail to do so#meanwhile i genuinely think if a beatrice kid existed they would presently be extremely far removed from rokkenjima#like some random well adjusted adult who knows very little of their origins#meaning that even if kinzo ever found this person they too would not be a fitting ushiromiya successor#yeah i think there might be some potential for this kind of theory

Pathfinders to Mars (ABC, 1960 - 1961)
"You know, Henderson, the progress of true science depends not only on the cold, calculating types, but also on the adventurers and dreamers. There's a place for all of us under the sun."
"Yes... as long as we don't get too close to it."
#pathfinders to mars#abc#children's television#classic tv#1960#guy verney#malcolm hulke#eric paice#gerald flood#pamela barney#george coulouris#stewart guidotti#hester cameron#hugh evans#astor sklair#peter williams#bernard horsfall#maurice durant#lisa peake#ian sadler#the pathfinders serials seem to have been in production nearly back to back‚ with very little gap between transmission#but that didn't mean there weren't further shakeups between Space and Mars; the two younger children were written out (the hamster remains#don't worry)‚ replaced by the niece of Flood's character tagging along; Peter Williams patronly father figure also disappears after a brief#appearance in the first ep‚ leaving Flood's genial sciencey everyman to take the lead focus. the most notable introduction is surely#the legendary George Coulouris (a former member of Welles' Mercury Theatre) as a slightly loony alien life truther who bluffs his way onto#the voyage; bf was present for me watching this with my dad and he DETESTED this new character‚ a perpetually suspicious and treacherous#hindrance to every one else whose stupid schemes and mischief routinely put eveyone in mortal danger. i get it... but then he's kind of fun#too‚ for all his ridiculousness... ymmv of course. the Coulouris character is perhaps the closest parallel we can see with Doctor Who‚#bearing more than a little similarity to the original Hartnell characterisation (by which i mean the very very original‚ in the first few#serials; purposefully mysterious‚ even antagonistic‚ often at odds with his fellow travellers but with a bond with a young girl among them)

murdoc has been carrying the whole thing for a while now methinks hes the only one that kinda still has the old vibes but hes in a poor setting now..(or its literally just phil tying the very loose strings so it doesnt all fall apart, continuity-wise) i just want them to be a regular ass band again with murdoc making shit up, they can still make lore filled mvs just make it clear its just for a video and act like a normal band outside of all that like they removed that layer at some point
and i guess it was like that longer than it wasnt, so at this point its pretty much pointless to wish for the good old, but its sad theyre just characters in no way rooted in the real world now..
#and not to parrot glow but i read their posts just to feel sane thanks for being the only person that can put it into words#i think the ppl that are bigger fans of the old gorillaz see into it more and see the changes while newer fans younger fans and#feel good fans (they know the few songs thats it idkhowtocallthem) dont really care about the past and only see the project as it is now#and since its successful theres no need to change it. milk this cow!#but dont dare send the merch on time. and quantity > quality!#the almanac was the worst purchase and i cant even sell that thing nobody wants it. whats a guy gotta do other than use it as a doorstop#heavy enough to break a bone too perhaps#trash

Jacinda just resigned.
#i feel more about this than expected.#she was a politician who didn't try to act like a man to be authoritative#i mean we had Helen Clark. who i also admired. but she was kinda terrifying from memory#although i was a lot younger#Jacinda on the other hand was able to be nice as well as the authority. gentle. understanding.#all sorts of things i'm not used to seeing from people in charge#my department's egm was like this during the lockdowns too which was another great example#but its an even better example when its your PM#she's also 2 days older then me 😅#so i feel perhaps more of a connection than inusually would to a politician#i mean i get it. if i'd had to run the effing country through a volcanic disaster. a terrorist attack. and a pandemic i'd be tired too!#her comment to Clark saying lets get married now was adorable#and her feeling on her decision was so evident#while Labour didn't achieve nearly as much as I'd hoped it wasn't exactly a smooth run so i get it#but#thank you Jacinda#jacinda ardern#nz#new zealand#politics#real life

Shea! To complete out the (main) elder 'jinkas
(basic character info in read more!)
Name: Shea Gender: Female (she) Physical Age: mid 40s Height: 5' 00" (152.4cm) Pokemon: Lilligant
An extroverted personality, Shea has made a name for herself in her local community, remembering little facts and details about her neighbors and friends. She will often invite others over for meals, especially since her child, Dot, moved out. Although she can be embarrassing at times, she strives to bring a little bit of joy to those around her.
#pokemon#pokemon gijinka#lilligant#ditto#ocs#shea#ju-long#dot#multirealm art#hey! it's ya girl! back and brighter than ever!#this might be one of the first times i actually shied away from giving her the flower on her head. clip to make the design more subtle#anyway! i love her! i like to think that S*hea either pseudo- or flat out adopted D*ot!#maybe if i have time or gumption i'll do a ref for them!#anyway i like to think that she meets J*u-Long when she was younger and the two have basically been close friends since#perhaps. even... more...? idk there's a something in my head where it'd work in a crack-sense but uh. yea

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I refuse to believe that all of the Evans family just died out. Instead, I like to think that the whole lot immigrated to Aus (back when they were literally paying people to do so), and only Lily’s parents stayed behind because “reasons” (maybe even for Lily to attend Hogwarts — more reasons for Petunia’s jealousy much?).
Anyway, wouldn’t it be fun if they/their descendants then bumped into the Grangers when they were on their Amnesia Gap Year? Maybe there’s a wee magical Evans in the mix too, and only years later is the connection to Harry made. There’s much hijinks in the meantime. And basically, yeah, I think that should be the plot of the Cursed Child.
#harry potter#headcanon#and the Potters?#I have a theory that they struggled for generations with infertility issues#hence James being an unexpected miracle child surprise#and perhaps even accounting for Harry’s birth#maybe because of past Potter fertility issues James didn’t expect to be able to have kids easily#and so Jily weren’t exactly… careful#hence Harry being born while they were so young#anyway I’m only 50/50 on this hc because it was also the 80s and having children that young wasn’t all that uncommon#in fact my mum was younger than Jily I think#but the Evans headcanon? that’s canon to me
