Oh! Great topic. Creative narration is my favorite. I like in manga how characters explain their own backstories, because the author gets to have them explain it through their own eyes. And that way, we can even see two characters describe the same event in different ways.
I also like in the book thief how death is the…[Read more]

(Tagging you both bc I didn’t realized until adding the tags these replies were from two people so I wrote it in one post 😂)
Also, I think those interconnected side plots like the Stewardship drama and Eowyn’s story are what really keeps the books from dragging on too long. If it was just destroying a ring, it w…

Hey y’all! I’ve been thinking about literary voice. I know every writer has a different voice, but what about using voice as a tool to set the scene? Like an extended form of dialogue?
This crazy thought spiral took me while reading some of Shalom Aleichem’s short stories (think Fiddler on the Roof). I was amused by the tongue in cheek humor of…[Read more]

Excactly! It’s so sweet, but not sugary sweet, you know? If it’s not in there, then half her character is left out (the real Eowyn, in fact) It’s a neat turn on illustrating healing and hope that really brings a lot of light into the story. 🙂
I think it’s my second time to read/listen to the Return of the King. I read the…[Read more]

Yess… I was freaking out at that chapter. I felt like I was in a dream XDXD
I can’t believe what they cut from the movie of them! That chapter was the completion of Eowyn’s arc, and cutting it out made it seem like her arc ended at the triumph over the Nuzgal, which is really wrong. Her arc isn’t about war, but healing. And…[Read more]

Yes! We just listened to the chapter with him and Eowyn, and I just kept crying and laughing.

Yeah… Aragorn/Strider is one of the reasons Faramir is not my only favorite. 😉

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? I feel like I was just handed a medal.
Faramir is my favorite lotr boy and nobody can change my mind 🥰
The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD
yesss I love him 😭 I love Aragorn too thoug…

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 It was fun to try to draw from my head, although I ended up needing reference pictures for his eyes because he kept looking scared. XD And Faramir should not be scared.
Thank you! Yes, he is described in the book as Westernese: tall, raven-black haired, grey eyed, and noble of…[Read more]

@koshka @ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed
Well, it’s been a while since I shared any art, but the recent LotR discussions inspired to try my hand at one of the few characters I pictured vividly.
Meet the Ranger Faramir as I met him. (Although the photo quality is bad. Sorry.)

That’s a perfect illustration of their relationship. XD
You draw horses so well! I lost my courage for horses a while ago. They’re so big! XD Anyway, Tug is beautiful.

I know!!! And it doesn’t make any sense why not, unless they just wanted to emphasize a smaller circle of awesome characters.
And if they wanted a sweet, visible romance, Faramir and Eowyn are so incredibly perfect. We just listened to that part last night and I was half laughing half crying. But maybe it’s a mercy because they…[Read more]
