well, I wrote three chapters of a story about my favorite hobbits that I will almost certainly be continuing. If you're interested and promise not to make fun of me - https://archiveofourown.org/works/25095466?view_full_work=true

Some little snippets from today, I am going camping tomorrow and will not be online but this has made me really happy this week!

writing this fic is fun because I'm rewriting movie scenes from Sam's perspective and he never knows what's going on

sam is like, "there was a flock of birds and for some reason that means now we have to walk in the snow and Frodo is cold and I'm MAD about it"

new chapter NEW CHAPTER i was writing this chapter in my head this entire week

when I finish this I am absolutely going to learn book binding just so I can put it into a nice cloth bound volume and have it on the shelf next to my copy of lotr

little recent drawings

something so freeing about just letting yourself descend into OTP madness

to various agents and editors: don't worry i'm kidding

chapter 6 is a good one you guys. a little spice, a little angst.

Gandalf needing to have a Serious Talk and Sam being like ‘omg did Frodo say he LIKE-likes me?’ is my favorite bit so far

JRR Tolkien what am I supposed to do with this

Ok I also forgot that Bilbo and Aragorn form a song writing duo and perform for all the elves in Rivendell

More art for chapter 6

woke up this morning with the persistent thought that ‘Rewrite the Stars’ from the Greatest Showman is a perfect Sam Frodo song

chapter 7...it's sad but there is a bath scene. it's not like, a spicy bath scene, but Sam gets to be clean which is probably nice for him.
