Interesting BBC series of short articles on LotR and WWI.
Everyone’s going on about having a ‘traditional, old-fashioned Christmas’, but when I burst into the house covered in green paint and demand a champion strike my head from my shoulders with my own axe so that I may return the blow next year, I’m ‘scaring Grandma’.
Not Thanksgiving yet but must allow this one to pass.
8. Funniest femslash ship
I feel like “funny” as a value is pretty subjective and situation-dependent, but in a general sense… hm… Hobbit ships always have a sort of quaintness around them, I think, and I’ve recently started loving the idea that sneery young Lobelia falls for someone adventurous whose shenanigans ease her out of her shell – Belladonna Took or one of her sisters feels like the obvious choice, though I could also see Goldberry as a candiate.
Maybe also Siv/Taru? Taru may have… some questionable morals, but she’s got a quirky vibe around her, and with Siv’s nature in contrast to that, there’s potential for humor there, too. ^^
9. Saddest femslash ship
Sigrun/Tuuri, without question – I want to cry just thinking about it, and how broken-up Sigrun of all people was in the aftermath. Clarke/Lexa, too, I guess, although I was never as invested in them in much more than an idea – I’d stopped watching after the Mount Weather plot and was going to wait how the next season played out… then that happened, and I’m not going to pick it up again.
10. A f/f/f OT3
I really love Anairë/Eärwen/Nerdanel as a threesome, it just is a nice idea of symmetry of the Finwëan women picking up the pieces together that really appeals to me. There’s plenty more, but maybe I’ll get this question again. 🙂
I really love Anairë/Eärwen/Nerdanel as a threesome,
me: you’ve already used this exact turn of phrase two paragraphs ago, that’s too repetitive
me, an intellectual: if I use it three more times it becomes a motif

Iran, Achaemenid ornamental Lapis lazuli plate, ca 500-400 BC.
William Shakespeare was a bisexual kid from a town a hundred miles outside London with the equivalent of a high school education who knocked up a 26-year-old out of wedlock when he was 18 and he wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets that changed the English language and the nature of Western drama and theater and if that isn’t an argument against elitism and a culture of constant perfectionism I don’t know what is
probably why people spend so much time trying to prove he didnt write his own plays
