Decided to pin some of my Haladriel fics seeing as that's my main fandom activity at the moment - apologies for the spam!
This won't be all of them - there are some that I often struggle to love (even though I wrote them 😂)

Nice first footing tradition we have... it'd be a shame if I encouraged someone to write a smutty version of it.

Most people are arguing about STs 5 based on ships. My husband and I just ripped it apart from a hardcore sci-fi POV. We are not the same.

I was gonna upload my latest oneshot on Tuesday but I think I might do it tomorrow? Idk.
There's not much else I can do to it I think. But I'm too tired to fight with AO3 right now.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance
Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn
Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

This was my first ever fic exchange after being too shy to do them for years, and I'd recommend it as a first try!
(Also even if Haladriel isn't your ship, the example application is really good for some general pointers re: what to write when you sign up for an event like this!)

There's a thread on TROP reddit that's pissing me off because... do people really not know the spiky armour thing for Sauron isn't mentioned anywhere in the books? Everyone is acting like it's some affront to Tolkien that Sauron hasn't been depicted fighting in black spiked armour in the show yet...

Can't believe I'm old enough to have witnessed three "no you totally don't get it, the studio definitely wasted all that money and the time of the actors and filmed an entire secret episode that was actually better and made my fave thing canon, trust," conspiracies now.

“They have a secret good episode, guys, this isn’t the real episode” cope is one of my favourite fandom experiences
Truly timeless
the concept of a studio deliberately making a terrible episode and then saying “haha just kidding here’s the real one” is so funny

I opened up my Haunting of Dol Guldur AU document for the first time in weeks and managed to type a grand total of... a sentence.
I don't think the mental block with this fic is over 😔

Once upon a time you could click on the heating and it stayed on.
Then someone invented a thermostat that requires idk magic or some shit and is constantly losing signal if you don't stick it right next to the boiler 🙄

For real though, it's the perfect show because there's no way I won't laugh you out of town if you bring any of that "this ship is problematic" nonsense to Dark (2017).
Everyone is related to everyone else! No, that doesn't stop them banging each other! Everyone has killed or tried to kill someone!

I wish social media websites (yes ALL of them) being such a binfire would herald the return of the truly great fandom experience: forums.
You had to actively enjoy the thing the forum was about. It didn't avoid all stupid af fandom slapfights but by god, it was easier to avoid those.

I've got a full eye test and contact lens check tomorrow and I'm fairly certain my prescription has got worse. I thought these days were behind me (after it felt like my sight deteriorated every year) so I am very not looking forward to getting my eyes tested.
