Ill Have To Check This Author Out If This Is So.

I’ll have to check this author out if this is so.

Reasons Why I love Tolkien

Reason Number One: He wrote strong female characters into his work before women really had a voice and his women are still stronger than many women writers invent today. 

Reason Number Two: Tolkien was an amazing linguist and inventor. Many of his languages stem from others (Quenya was modeled after Finnish) but they are all original and provide such a rich depth to his work. 

Reason Number Three: Tolkien invented an entire mythology and provided a rich history for all of his worlds. No one had ever written an entire invented mythology just for books before and his mythology was indeed very detailed. 

Reason Number Four: Tolkien drew and designed maps. Maps are awesome. I love all of the visual imagery shown in these maps and how detailed everything is that Tolkien thought up. 

Reason Number Five: Tolkien did not use the common, perfect heroes. Instead, he used ordinary, unlikely people to accomplish heroic feats. Everyone had to work together to save the world; Elves, Dwarves, and Men had to get along. But, it was all because of the brave Hobbits that the quest succeeded. “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”

There are many other reasons why I love Tolkien’s works so much, but these are my top five!!! 

Here’s a work in progress I’d be more than happy to get behind, especially if the deel from my culture is on the way. A male equivalent would be even better when this is completed. Nucaktek Asirpa (Happy New Year).

World traditional costumes, super cute project by Pauline Otaka. You can find merch (stickers+cards) on her Etsy shop :D

I love that for Japan, besides furisode coming of age dress (3rd pic), she also drew outfits for both Hokkaido (Ainu attus coat) and Okinawa/Ryukyu (yotsudake dance costume)

You are still going to be here after the change. If your characters and relationships you’ve made on this shit storm of a site, is too important to abandon.
