Normal Girl On A Normal Date :]

We hope that those who come after us will make it further than we could.

so I wade out into the very center of the torrent, the water rushing about my feet as if it still longs to drag me down with him, bearing my brother before me-

-and then I let him go.

skimmed through annihilation again and was reminded of when the biologist stumbled around pissed off and drunk through the tide pools when she was feeling lonely during her research project. shes so funny

And in the end, it is a matter of the length of the narrative.

Actually, I find Tolkien's treatment of Aredhel a bit annoying. It makes no sense for Aredhel to follow Turgon to Gondolin. Turgon's building of Gondolin and hiding there was perfectly reasonable for Turgon. The only thing he did that didn't make sense was taking Aredhel with him. Aredhel and Gondolin? I don't understand anything. Turgon is not her father, the king she must obey, nor is he the most agreeable of her siblings. And the Gondolin-like approach is completely incompatible with Aredhel's character as described throughout the book - a hunter, a lover of travel, and a temper that can be inferred from her friendship with the sons of Fëanor. Tolkien has her join Gondolin without any reason. Aredhel follows Turgon to Gondolin because Tolkien needs her to give birth to Maeglin, which will bring about the downfall of Gondolin. She was captured by an evil husband because she had to give birth to an evil son (and if you don't think race determines personality, this is all annoying.). Unlike the sons of Feanor, who brought about tragedy because of their own contradictions in personality, she had contradictions because she had to be the tool of tragedy. It's annoying to see a character who could have been really interesting get treated like this…. Like many women in real life, who had potential but were ignored and used only as a tool.

Idk if it’s just me but i really do find tumblr to be one of the most enjoyable places to post art. Like the engagement and ability to leave tags has always made me feel a lot more connected to the people interacting with my art. I love snooping through peoples tags and seeing how something i creates fits into their collections, or just how they feel about it in general. Idk, it’s just always been my favorite. Thanks to everyone who shares and enjoys my art, you guys are the coolest :)))
