I don't know what brought you here, but I'm just glad you came. Prepare for mostly re-blogs of stuff I like or identify with.
Genderfluid, so She/He/They, whatever floats your boat.

Everyone in the mid 2000s wanted to write a decent Girl-Falls-Into-Midde-Earth fic but only ONE person had the balls to have their OC sit out the entire War of the Ring in Rivendell, learning to make shitty pottery and struggling to shave her legs with a straight razor.
Every now and again, out of the blue, I remember bits of this fic. The soap and the river. Everyone mistaking her grief over Borimir for pining.
I want to see girl falls into middle earth after the plot is over, where she can actually change things and doesnât have to keep as many secrets which I shate - looking for Maglor who is so stunned that someone showed up from another world and that a random girl cares about him that he actually agrees to go to Rivendell to find out WTF is going on, explaining to Gandalf what happened and he does mind scan or whatever and says âyup this random person knows stuff she shouldnât but not for malicious reasons, no one kill her or anythingâ, telling Folco Boffin (and honestly, all the hobbits close to Frodo and Sam and Merry and Pippin) what he was left out of and that yes his friends carried an evil magic object halfway across the world and yes Frodo is more emotionally scarred than anyone who stayed behind in the Shire even though that may not make sense to him so please just ask them what they want from him if they are upset instead of trying to tell them theyâre not upset or whatever other BS people usually do to try to make people feel better, and maybe getting a few answers of her own (why didnât Gandalf send help for the Shire sooner, if he knew? Which version of canon is true? Did Elros ever meet his biological parents on Numenor? Is there any way someone else can take over for Earendil for a little while so that Elrond can meet him if he wants?)
HonestlyâŠâŠ.. I think you should go read Donât Panic.
đYES! Okay MOOD thatâs exactly why Donât Panic is so important to me, because it gave my 14 year-old dyslexic ass such easy access to deeper lore that was over my head at the time, tbh. Like Iâd read LOTR but not digested every detail and all of a sudden I was getting it handed to me in the form of snarky satire and it made the world twice as real as well as made making me curious about the silm and other works and started my lifelong obsession with Westron, lol. Like for whatever itâs worth, I wouldnât be the same sort of Tolkien fan today if it wasnât foe Donât Panic, as silly as that sounds.
Wait THERE IS A SEQUEL??
The sequel is so fucking long and fucking meandering (the way any good tolkien fic should be) and spends so long talking about like infrastructure and culture of Rohan and Gondor (specifically in the capital cities) and then introduces more OCs that I would kill and die for like actual characters.
The entirety Donât Panic and its sequel Okay Now Panic is longer than the lotr trilogy.
