Meeting Tom Bombadil this morning, braced for impact, but like bro it’s fine it’s just the scop’s song from Beowulf (etc). My guy is just singing all the histories. He got to the start of the universe and the Hobbits were all :/ about it and stopped following which is annoying bc I want to know which versions he likes!!

Enjoyed Tom Bombadil vs Old Man Willow galdor battle.

I guess I should add that just bc I keep going “IS THAT— IS THAT FROM—“ doesn’t mean I think of the story as a series of straightforward references to early medieval stuff; it’s its own story from that storyworld and it’s just fun to recognise (or think I recognise) genre beats. Also I cannot shut up and I’m having the time of my life.

Hey. Hey you. Person who hasn’t seen Wicked yet. I need you to do me a favor. For the love of God, before you watch the movie I need you to watch this video for me first. It is imperative. It is of the utmost importance.

Because there is absolutely no feeling in the world like having this song start playing in your head the second Elphaba steps into the Wizard’s palace because you KNOW IT’S COMING, and then YOU WILL HAVE AN ANEURISM FROM LAUGHING SO HARD

so many ways a character can be dog-coded. stray following someone home and begging for scraps. old and needs to be put out of its misery. attack dog. guard dog. lap dog. puppy that pees on the carpet from excitement. shelter dog just happy to finally have feet to curl up on. unsocialized that bites anyone trying to show kindness. silly goofy puddle monster. obedient until the leash comes off

The monster within the pages

(pageless version under the cut!)

I had a clear vision for the paper thing which was to be like, those book projects? where some one paints within the pages? but it didn't work out. ah well
