If I had a nickel for every time I wrote a Tolkien Reverse Summer Bang fanfic tackling fantasy racism in Middle-Earth, I'd have two nickels.

Which probably doesn't surprise anyone who knows me, tbh.

Anyway, I now have a basic Hurrian vocabulary and many thoughts on Orc society.

Aragorn: 😮

(Why yes, I made a new character on #LotRO. 😆)

I might be slightly obsessed with this gorgeous, adorable set of mushroom tableware a friend gave me as an early birthday gift. 😆 🍄 ❤️

On the weekly video call with my family, my dad kept asking if I wanted to hear a story about hobbits.

I knew it'd be some dad joke fuckery so I was like, nope, not interested.

And he was like, "But why? It's a SHORT story!" and then started giggling.

Feels weird smashing and eating this purple-speckled blue egg while watching them freak out over Bumpy's similar-looking egg, in the new season of Chaos Theory. 😆

Saddest death in the whole damn franchise. 😭

I'm about to cut into the good fabric and my grandma very seriously said in Tamil, "Be careful. Pray to the gods before you cut into it."

She's not wrong tbh, this fabric was not cheap. 😆

How is it that cats don't give a shit about rugs and mats, but the moment you lay your fabric on the floor for measuring/cutting/sewing, it's the best toy ever?

She's even attacking the pattern paper and has already ripped a hole in it. 😭

Dad has a great home theatre setup & Atmos surround sound system.

Aragorn opening the doors of Helm's Deep in 4K on the big screen is exactly what I needed today.

I feel very attacked. 😆

Honestly, accurate. 😆

Looking back at my old GISHWHES tasks.

The task for this one was to dress in garb compatible with the other characters (or setting) in a painting from the 1800s or earlier, and photoshop myself into the composition.

1255BCE counts as pre-1800s, right? 😜

All good! Feel free to ask questions. 🙂

Eg. people will say you can't cook eggs or tomatoes in cast iron. I say that's nonsense. My best eggs come from cast iron, and I use cast iron for curries containing tomato too.

Use plenty of oil/butter the first few times to help build up seasoning.

He really wasn't kidding around when he declared Manifest Destiny in his inauguration speech, huh.

Insert Imhotep joke here?

In all seriousness, this is a very cool discovery!

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim was AMAZING.

The very beginning sent chills down my spine. It was such a beautiful return to Middle-Earth.

It was very faithful to source material, with Héra simply stepping into the gaps in the original narrative.

I cried a few times.

Go watch it.

Is there anything better than patting and squishing a sun-warmed, purring cat? ❤️

Probably time to take down the Deepavali decorations? It's been over three weeks now. 😅

The house can be bare for like a week before we put Christmas stuff up. Although those fairy lights are permanent. 😅

Trying this again.

The first one is my lockscreen. It just feels so peaceful and comforting and homey. ❤️

The second pic is my wallpaper. 😊

Second test.

I've been adding alt text to every image I try to upload. I always get the same error message.

Does it work without alt text? 😕

Literally can't scroll up. This is all I saw of the conversation.
