Fave and least fave MDZS characters? 😃
Thanks for asking! 😃 I had to think hard about this one...
Picking favourites is hard, because the ranking seems to vary from time to time, but Jin Ling is my baby (my nephew?), what with his arrogance being a defensive barrier he puts up to look tough, to win approval and to hide his insecurities and loneliness. I just want the best for him. But again, picking one fave is hard.
Least favourite is probably Wen Chao - as far as we know, he has next to none redeemable qualitites. He definitely didn't deserve what he got in the novel, but I can't say I miss him. I first considered saying Xue Yang, because he's a manipulative murderer, but everytime I give Yi CIty a closer look, I can see his character complexities and it's more of a love-to-hate (or love-the-pain).
It's been like half a decade since I last posted on tumblr, but now Mo Dao Zu Shi sucked me back into fandom, and behold who I find...
Posting about MDZS and The Untamed are the same people who I back in the day knew from the Silmarillion fandom.
Le tue mani, le tue gambe
BURY ME NOW FOR I HAVE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN
Hi, you probably don’t remember me. Chances are you do from back when I was more active. In which case, I hope you’re doing great. :) I have fond memories from when I was active in the Silm community
Chances are that you’ve followed me only recently, in which case thanks! I’m glad to see you’ve found interest/enjoyment in my posts. I’m just going to let everybody know that I’ve almost abandoned my tumblr. I check in sporadically to check on fandoms and people I follow, but I haven’t posted since early 2015 and I can’t say for sure that I will ever start posting actively again.
This is just to say that you may follow me, but you might as well not, because I never post anything anymore. :P Still, I appreciate every like and share, so thank you.
home isn’t where the heart is, middle earth is where the heart is
HoME is where you do in-depth research on where the heart is
Headcanon:
Huan was the first dog to walk the earth. Huan, meaning 'hound', was what Oromë called him. Upon that time it was simply a name and did not become a common noun until there were a lot more dogs around. But while younger dogs were given proper names, Huan kept his old one.
When Celegorm met Huan, the elf was not yet that old, but he was old enough to know that real names are given by those who made you. One name from your father, one from your mother. Celegorm was to Huan neither, and thus did not have the right to name him.
Others wondered at this, saying him he should name his pet. But Celegorm gently told Huan that if he ever wanted to take upon himself some other name, a cilmësse or an epessë, he should just say so. Huan never expressed such a wish. His ancient name held too much meaning.
Ahhhh, I just came across your blog and your HashiMada writings is so damn adorable. This ship is like drowning in angst so your fluffy fics are like a balm to my soul. Great job. *dreamy sigh*
Aww, I haven't been on tumblr for weeks and this is what I come back to!
Thank you, kind anon! :D
Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth
Rationalist!Andreth is kind of canon. (Transhumanist!Andreth is unambiguously canon.)
Back in the Jurassic period, gwenniel requested a fic about Sauron and Thuringwethil interacting. Gwenniel, you are under no obligation to even notice let alone read or like this fic after literally a year of waiting, but I have now written it.
*****
Her memories of the West were mostly of painful, searing light. No matter where she went, it was inescapable. Telperion was better, she could just about bear it, but when Laurelin took over, she would find the deepest shadow she could to escape the burning gold.
She met Mairon, Aulë’s apprentice, just once in the west. It was during Telperion’s hours, and he had come looking for her.
‘Fire’s alright,’ she told him, grudgingly looking at his lantern. ‘But it’s the rest of the light. It blinds.’
‘It reveals things which would rather be hidden,’ said Mairon, gazing into the small flame with an unreadable expression. But she shook her head.
‘It does not. It blinds me, it makes it impossible to see anything. Light is glaring and blaring and blocks out everything else. In darkness there is peace, and clarity.’
Ahh, what a nice surprise! (I had almost forgot about this one.) Thank you!
Go read it, everyone! It's goood, and there are ever too many fics with these characters.
