…all wet and covered in mud. He took it home, gave it a bath and took care of it until it became a full rooster. The rooster was so troublesome. Finally it was given a forever home out of town but my dad asked not to slaughter it for food. The rooster died of old age.

Well, my dad, who is the kindest person I’ve ever known, he said "set them free. They want to be free" but in my situation "free" would mean back in the streets. No way. It made me real sad. My dad used to rescue any kind of animal in trouble he saw. There was this time he found this small chick…

"You should get rid of some cats". Easier said than done! It is not that I will kick them out or put them back in the streets or anything. Either I find homes for them or they stay, and that’s it.

Sticks of Power gets a bit meta with yesterday’s #Tolkientober prompt #3 Hope, and nothing gave me hope like Arondir and Bronwyn’s ill-fated love. Miss you, love you original otp 😭

Stick figure Arondir holding hands beneath a tree with stick figure Bronwyn. Hearts surround them. A stick figure artist watches them on the tv screen box crying while an arrow points to the artist that says “Myrs w/ her feels”

So what if Halbrand did actually somehow whip out that armor for Galadriel in Númenor? Sticks of Power continues with #Tolkientober Day 4 “Armor”

Stick figure Halbrand Sauron gestures behind him to plate armor with a star on the front. He says “I made sure it had a Féanorian star!” Galadriel looks at with a frustrated stick figure face and the thought bubble that reads “…seriously?…”

Stick figure Halbrand Sauron saying “I alone can see your greatness” while stick figure Galadriel looks down from the raft onto the reflection of them wearing crowns. Her thought bubble reads “Then why is your crown bigger than mine?!”

Armor: Elrond exchanges his robes for armor, and she finds she does not very much like the shift. Not so long ago, she had accused him of playing courtier, of not knowing evil as she has known it. But she does not, in the end, wish for him to. A sword in his hand where a pen should be. #Tolkientober

Gardens: The scent of flowers floating on the wind awakens memories long-buried by ash, dust, sand—blood. Her hair had caught the golden light of the lanterns as she’d spun and laughed. A garden. A glade. She’d been dancing. And there had been the scent of flowers on the wind. #Tolkientober

#Tolkientober Day 5: Hope For this prompt I could only think of the most truly hopeful scene in all Tolkien adaptations for me🖤🤍 P.S: Inspired by "The Swan" by Hilma af Klint✨ #Adar #Galadriel

Colour illustration (in browns, blacks and blues) of Adar and Galadriel standing in front of each other with a hand extended. Adar has Nenya on the palm of his hand and is offering it to Galadriel, who hesitantly extends her hand to take it.

The scene is split in two halves by the tone of the background, very dark behind Galadriel and very bright behind Adar, so Galadriel's figure is silhouetted against the dark background, and Adar's is silhouetted against the light background.

There is a halo of blue light around Nenya, also enveloping their outstretched hands.

There are forms of trees and roots in both backgrounds, white in Adar's half and black in Galadriel's one.

#Tolkientober Day 4: Armor Sauron in the First Age, when he was Morgoth's lieutenant👁️ PS: I love armours so I think this prompt should appear in every Tolkientober 🦾 #Sauron #Armor

A color illustration depicting Sauron in full body, all cladded in a dark armor. He is holding a spear in his right hand, and wears a small, spiked crown on his loose hair, which glows as fire. He also wears a cape that flutters in the wind and shimmers slightly. His face is tense and his gaze glows.

The color of the background and also the tone of the figure es bright red.
