LA-KiY AU OC, Richard Joy. Currently The King's High Priest after the previous one, his father, was killed by Arthur and Parker. (They tried to arrest him, but things escalated).

Richard is a special human to The King. He has the honour of speaking directly to The King and becomes his eyes, ears, and mouth as The King's new High Priest.

Heehee finally finished the page huhuhu.

Short explanation:

Before he transitioned, he was a student in art uni who loved sculpting. He had forced himself to conform with his previous identity and convinced himself that he was fine with it though the truth was more that he rejected the cult his father ran. His father had told him that The King would accept him and value his skill as an artist above human social standards.

One day, he decided to prove to himself that he is content with his identity and body by sculpting a full body statue of himself. He couldn't finish it as the more he chiseled, the more horrid his body looked. He stopped in frustration and turned away from his work. But, when he looked upon the statue again, a yellow glow seemed to illuminate the statue and mold it into another form. It became the body that Richard dreamed to have. He was enchanted but also horrified at the event. He ran away to his bedroom with high fever and forced himself to sleep.

That night, Richard dreamt of The King's embrace. Steady and gentle hands traced his body that did not fit him. Then, pain and agony. His body chiseled and broken over and over again, before many arms embraced him as if holding a newborn child.

When Richard woke up in the morning, he found himself changed into someone new. For the first time, he felt like who he was supposed to be. Happy was an understatement. He decided he needed to offer something back to The King in Yellow to express his gratitude.

Back in his art uni, he decided he would sculpt a statue of The King. He imagined the same King he met in his dream and allowed his body to be moved as stone meets chisel. Students and lecturers passed by and were drawn to the statue, as if a hidden force was guiding them.

The stone didn't carve like normal, it changed, transformed, as if something was filling it. Finally, it became the form of The King in Yellow. Everyone who observed it snapped back to reality, and as their screams filled the scene, The King, possessing the statue, ate away at their sanity. Richard only had eyes for The King.

People keep talking about the whimpering horror podcast men and how distracting it can be but as a (maybe) asexual person, all I ever heard were men in pain. Other people find the whimpering weirdly erotic while I hear a guy in desperate need of a Hospital and a Therapist

multiple things can be true at once

1) the allegations against neil gaiman seem very likely to be true, because i cannot fucking imagine that having sex with an employee relying on you and your money to avoid homelessness (and starting within a few HOURS of meeting her) could ever be a situation with unproblematic consent

2) the podcast seems to be very exploitative – first, the use of ads/sponsorships; second, the sensationalism of the story and using dramatic music and editing; and third, its general anti-BDSM narrative and it is deeply fucked up to use victims’ stories to put forward your own narrative or agenda

3) this being reported by rachel johnson just has terrible vibes, i am absolutely with everybody on this, i don’t believe she has the victims’ best interests at heart and i am suspicious of her personal motivations

some lesbian thoughts on elrond & galadriel

The dynamic between Elrond and Galadriel, despite being central to the show, sometimes feels under-appreciated in the fandom. Like many relationships in TROP, it doesn’t easily slot into a single category. It’s not merely one of friendship or kinship or mentorship

It’s not romantic, but it is emotionally intimate—and that seems to trip a lot of people up, even before 2x07. We’ve always appreciated how emotionally open Galadriel and Elrond are with each other, particularly given how guarded Galadriel is with most other characters.

She and Elrond have a long history prior to their reunion in the first episode, and during the course of the show they rely on each other as they navigate disappointment and loss, both personal and as relates to elven-kind.

They don’t always see eye to eye, but even when Elrond feels hugely betrayed by Galadriel’s choices, it doesn’t erode the love between them.

They’ve been separated during their respective darkest moments, but find solace and healing in each other’s presence. They bring light into each other’s lives, and together will be instrumental in banishing the rising darkness.

One of the strengths of Tolkien's work, and one of the reasons fans (including queer fans like us) return to these stories time and again, is the focus on platonic bonds that defy societal norms through the strength of their intimacy and commitment.

Of all the relationships we've seen on the show so far, Galadriel and Elrond embody this wonderful category-defying emotional intimacy most of all.
