I Have An Opinion Of Rings Of Power.

Please feed me any Hobbit or LOTR fanfics, please, I need something to energise me before work and I’m running low

If y’all have fic ideas for me, not even fic ideas just funny moments or angsty moments that I can add into any of my fics they would be greatly appreciated

“What’s your favourite animal?”

Me in my recovery arc

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day

so I'm rereading the lotr trilogy right now (after having just read it for the first time earlier this year) and I find it so interesting that tolkien is SO HEAVILY against allegory, specifically from an author-imposed perspective; instead, he says that the reader is the one with agency in any deeper meaning of the text:

"Other arrangements could be devised according to the tastes or views of those who like allegory or topical reference. But I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author." - The Fellowship of the Ring, Foreward to the Second Edition, p. xxvi.

I'm no English major but I exist in the sphere of literary and information studies (I'm a grad student in archival studies) and this is my favourite literary theory I've heard about in passing from my peers. anyway this is all a justification of my impending rants and interpretive posts upcoming as I go through the books and (lightly) annotate them this time around so uh buckle up for some unhinged analysis and general feral fan behaviour

hi guys

Me: *strapped to a chair in a cold interrogation room with a middle aged man pacing back and forth*

Him: *projects a picture of Sam and Frodo on to the wall* What is their relationship?

Me: Their ship is valid and very cute, but we should also consider the idea that their admiration and respect for one another is a deep, platonic bond. Love doesn't always have to be romantic, and it is important for men to be able to express their platonic care for one another in a way that toxic masculinity doesn't currently allow.

Him: Okay *projects a picture of Legolas and Gimli* what's their relatio-

Me: They're fucking.

Freak yeah. When I get my fanfics out there… 😁😬

reblog if you’re okay with people writing fanfics of your fanfics and/or fanfics inspired by your fanfics
