You have used a beautiful rainbow thread in one of your cross stitch projects, what is it called and where did you get it?
Hi! It’s gorgeous, right??? I got it from here :)

Oh wow, that's terrible. It's not even a huge post that could have attracted trolls and assholes, it's a small post that a few active fandom members interact with. It's so fucked up that they did that to moringottos, especially after what they've been through. I hope they will be all right. Thanks for passing on the wishes.
I will say that absynthe-minded has now put out a post about it just so that everyone who sees my blog can know that. But yeah. It’s absolutely fucked up that someone did this, and i hope that whoever it was has some personal misfortune befall them.

Wait, what happened to moringottos? I saw that they have deleted. Were they really suicide-baited because of that Finwe post? I don't want to believe that this fandom would stoop so low. If you are in contact with them, I'd like to wish them all the best.
Yes. They were suicide baited and sent graphic photos of self harm, while absynthe-minded sat on their hands and refused to put out any sort of post asking people to lay off them. I will pass on the good wishes to them.

Your cross stitching is absolutely incredible.-@outofangband
Ahhhh thankyou!! I haven’t had chance to do much over the last few months, but I’m slowly getting back into it :)

I love your Feanor and Finwe story so much. Thank you for your works, they really brighten my day
Awwwww thankyou!! I’m so glad you like them, I loved writing them! As always, if you want to talk about Finwe + Feanor or anything, drop me a message off anon!
Same goes for anyone else, I’m always up for talking about my faves :D

I really like your characterization of Celegorm! If you want, I’d love to see more from him.
Aaaaaaaa is today nice anon day or what?? I can 300% promise you that there will be more Turco from me, anon.
If you want to chat, please feel free to tumblr message me off anon! I always love to talk about Celegorm :D

I loved your feanor and Nerdanel fic so much. Please write more of them being happy if you get the chance and feel like it!
I’m really happy you liked it! I will be honest with you however, and say that it’s unlikely. The Fëanor/Nerdanel was mostly a vehicle to write about my hcs of Fëanor heating up when he feels emotion. Who knows though! :)
Anonymous asked:
Your Silm fics are great!
Aaaaa thankyou! :D this made my morning!
I will ask: How long have you been in the Tolkien fandom (not necessarily online, but just how long have you liked Tolkien) :)
Thanks for asking :)
I’ve loved Tolkien since my Uncle read me the Hobbit when I was six. I read LotR soon after that, because I’d definitely read it by the time I went to see the first film! So, since 1999 :D
I started lurking around the silm fandom in late 2013 early 2014, and started contributing during the readalong in summer 2014 :)
if you haven't already done: 7 - 11 - 23 for Silm's fandom!
I’ve done them! Can’t link the post but if you scroll down my blog a bit, they’re there :)
all the parts of the ask meme you haven't done yet, for Tolkien
Ok haha, again sorry for no cut, tumblr mobile sucks.
4 Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?
Yeah, Maedhros/Fingon for reasons explained in an earlier ask. I’d say they were popular yeah :’)
7 Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
This isn’t specifically silm, but the movies ruined Bilbo for me. I used to love him but I can’t stand Martin Freeman.
8 Have you received anon hate? What about?
Nope
11 Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
I feel like the fandom is actually kinder to the Angband crew than they are to the Feanorians sometimes. At least, the ones that aren’t Maedhros and Maglor. Curufin seems to be the one most considered as “evil” and a lot of people kinda think of him only as a villain and a bad father if they think of him at all.
12 Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?
Silm doesn’t really have arcs haha.
13 Unpopular opinion about XXX character?
Maedhros and Fingon’s families were more important to them than each other. They certainly cared a great deal for each other, but I’m really not into characterisation where they’ll go for each other over their immediate families always. Mostly because I enjoy reading about them with interacting favourably with their brothers/sister rather than them shipped.
Also that Maglor isn’t Saint Maglor the Weepy. He regrets, yeah, but if he could do it all again and could save his family by killing, he’d happily wade through blood.
15 Unpopular opinion about the manga/show?
Feanor Did Some Things Wrong But The Valar Were Super Skeevy With Silmaril Ownership And Intervening When They Really Shouldn’t Have
18 Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?
No, it just means I have different tastes. Variety is the spice of life, it’d be boring if we all thought the same thing
24 Would you recommend XXX to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes but with the addendum that it’s really heavy going and it’s definitely not for everyone
25 How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?
I couldn’t write a better story than Tolkien. But I’d love an au where the feanorians survive.
2, 17, 22, 23 for tolkien :)
2 Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?
Maedhros/Fingon probably comes under this for me I guess.
17 Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…
I’m not gonna dream of putting myself on the same level as Tolkien. But I feel like Feanor died too early, I would love to see how the first age changed with him alive.
22 Popular character you hate?
oooooooh. well the aforementioned beren and luthien i guess. Even then it’s not hate, it’s hate of the bullshit way they’re written.
23 answered!
9, 10, 21, 23, 26, 27 :D
Since you didn’t specify we’ll do tolkien.
9, 10, 21 already answered :)
23 Unpopular character you love?
*Gestures at url* i wish people would remember there are Feanorians other than Maedhros and Maglor sometimes
26 Most shippable character?
Ummmm you can ship anyone if you try hard enough. Idk haha, I literally cannot think of an answer here sorry
27 Least shippable character?
Ungoliant *shudder*
3, 5, 6, 20 for Tolkien?
Again, sorry for Bad Opinions not being under readmore, tumblr mobile
3 Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?
Yes. Several times. Very quietly though, everyone has a right to their opinions and it’s my job to regulate what i see rather than being an arsehole to people.
5 Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
Yup. Maedhros/Fingon. Oversaturation and frustration with a lot of key tropes for the ship. I know several really good writers who write them without this, but it’s too late for me now haha they’re notp.
6 Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
Can’t really say so? The way i start out is open to all ships tbh, it’s after I’ve been here a while that i get Bitter
20 What is the purest ship in the fandom?
…so pure for me has been Tainted by tumblr purity culture. But I guess fallen banners is always very cute when i see it and there’s never any real drama there haha.
1,9,10,14,19,21 for Tolkien
…some of these answers may get people annoyed, please know that I’m in no way telling people what to write or what not to, this is just my own personal feelings after being into this fandom for a few years
1 What OTPs in your fandom do you just not get?
None tbh, i love crack ships myself so i understand why people ship everything, even if I don’t myself!
9 Most disliked character(s)? Why?
…I’m not into Beren and Luthien. I don’t usually enjoy Author’s Pet Good Guy characters, and they have plot armour to the max and get away with a great deal of stuff no one else would.
10 Most disliked arc? Why?
See above. The only reason I read B and L is to see Celegorm and Curufin’s Greatest Hits. They’re basically Disney villains.
14 Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
Too Much Angst. way way too into sticking to canon like gospel.
19 What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?
Lack of AU fic.
21 What are your thoughts on crack ships?
I’d rather read a fun crack ship than Maedhros and Fingon doing the angsty daddy issues missionary for the 50th time
Tumblr mobile wouldn't let me readmore sorry
Probably a little late, but I think I started following you when you were in the beginning of the large Pokemon cross stitch! And because that was so awesome and we bonded over ygo a little and you're so nice I've stuck around and I love seeing your work!! :D
Awww thanks!!! I still follow you too, we are Old Mutuals
I absolutely love the stitch you did from Chapter 9 of the Silmarillion ("then Feanor ran from the Ring of Doom") and I love the font you used, but the link isn't working.... Would you mind directing me to the page for the font? Please and thank you!
I’m really sorry, but the site seems to have shut down! I’ve tried regoogling it and everything, but it’s gone I think. I did find the alphabet like this pic below, but when I tried to open it larger, the page was gone. So I hope this is of some use to you, and I’m really sorry I can’t be more help!
