Maybe I shouldn’t say anything bc y’all all seem so passionate about the LOTR books…but…wellllllll

I only liked several of the characters bc of the movies *runs*

*drops chapter 2 of 1600s fic*

Chapter 2
Nothing was ever certain, least of all hope. Life had been both cruel and wise enough to teach Anthony Edward Stark that much.

He swiped sweat from his brow and laid a double-edged sword across a simple anvil, hammer in hand.…

*applause*

Gentle warriors for the win! I am now inspired to write better representations of gentleness, purpose, and grief. We need unique turns on these topics.

 I think one of the reasons their story is cut is because it’s a story that speaks to more sensitive people. Aragorn looks cool on screen to everyone, and ev…

um… only ranger horses. I’ve never had a horse throw me.

@mineralizedwritings

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 they cut…

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]

@mineralizedwritings

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

*Insert a five page essay on sorrow and love and joy and how they are not mutually exclusive*

*Insert random squeaking noises of happiness*

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

@mineralizedwritings

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? O.O I feel like I was just handed a medal.

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

@mineralizedwritings

Remember Jonathan from the Art Challenge forum?

I know he doesn’t have a smile (I was not comfortable doing that in this new style) but here he is wearing a Wooten Bassett hat cuz why not?

@rae @ellette-giselle @keilah-h @mineralizedwritings @esther-c @anyone-else

I’m thinking about making something (mostly for fun) that compares characters from Freedom’s Fire to characters in other media (mostly movies tbh) and i was wondering what characters from, like, Marvel and LOTR y’all would compare each character to👀

@mineralizedwritings

Well, now you’ve learned a little more about describing characters and how that impacts how your reader imagines them!

@mineralizedwritings

Bucky looks so good!!! I’m not an artist, but the shading ended up really good!

just going to leave this here

Ferentari district of Bucharest, Romania 

The streets were crowded with people bustling around, a poor city full of life and she could feel it even through the cold wind that sent shivers down her thin limbs. Some looked mad but others seemed rather happy,…[Read more]

@grcr

Congratulations on your third win!

@mineralizedwritings

Jonathan’s clothing looks more professional than what I picked up from his description. I imagined him dressed casually in a tee-shirt.
