Some New Commissions
Wanted to share some recent commissions of some Tolkien OC's and even a few canon characters :).
This first one is the lovely Máno, Maia of Namo, done for me by the wonderful NimrodelDark.
This next one is another of Máno, by DamienGrimmthedevilsson on Tumblr

About Faerie
So I was wondering if anyone know what is up with Faerie? mainly because I was going to read some fic on the site but it says that the domain isn’t available. Anyone know what’s going on? Thank you so much, and hope you’re all doing well ❤️.

Update (personal)
Hello, and hope you are all doing well on these last few days of 2020. It has really been a crazy, unpredictable year for us all, and (crossing my fingers) hopefully it will be a calmer 2021 for everyone <3.
Lots of insane ups and and downs here, both personal and otherwise. Have a few goals though for next year that I'm really going to try to stick to and work on, since they have been greatly neglected.
1. Health (mental/physical)-This has been one area of life that has been greatly in need of improvement, but it's getting there. A few positive steps involved finally getting the therapist that I desperately needed for my eating disorder(two trips to the ER later). It took a while, but eventually found one that actually wanted to help and treated me as a person instead of only a number on a sheet of paper. Next step though is to find a nutritionist to help plan meals. It's been a long road, but baby steps are better than no steps taken at all.
2. Writing-No, it's true, there hasn't been very much in that department, but I plan to make a change to that. Two new Tolkien OC's are in development, and it's gotten me very pumped to write about them :). In the coming year, there will definitely be more Tolkien content on its way about Melino, Dolguzimir, and others. The creativity muse is stirring again so that's quite a good sign. Another is to read more of the works written by others as well. It's been a while since I've even read any of other people's writing and it would be nice to continue to give support in the fandom again.
There is so much more that I could put down here that could be improved, that the list would just go on and on. But I think it's a good start, at least.
Have a good start to 2021, and best wishes to you all! <3

So it’s definitely been a long and interesting week, with a lot of running around XD.
After probably 10 years since the last time I was able to go, my family and I planned a long awaited beach trip (along with my niece and nephew) to Virginia Beach (specifically Sandbridge section of it, which wasn’t crowded at all). We took extra precautions in order to not pick anything up while there, but it was a successful trip in the end :). Sun sand and waves XD.
Yesterday’s trip to Washington DC was also interesting in its own way, taking a train and seeing the capital building and everything (as well as falling backwards down an escalator and bruising my back and shoulder XD). Well at least it was memorable XD. Although I’m not sure I will be going back anytime soon haha!
Hope you are all doing well! <3

WIP and other things
I've been trying to work on some writing, but my current living situation has made it slightly difficult XD, but I'm still trying lol. This is a snippet of a thing I've been working on in my dark!Namo AU where the Feanturi up and leave Valinor to follow Melkor. Slightly NSFW:
And the Doomsman of the Valar knelt before the dark throne, placing a hand over his chest and lowering his head. Armored in black, Namo Mandos seemed to be almost humbled as he kept his eyes lowered. To his left stood a second figure. The second Feantur, Irmo of Lorien, looked about at the surroundings with a faraway expression. The Lord of Lorien wore only light armor that extended upward from his back to give some protection to his wings. A crown of wilted flowers charred black sat atop his head.
And also, a comm. of Namo in his armor done for me by the wonderful @lorica-art on Tumblr

The Lord of Lorien wore only light armor that extended upward from his back to give some protection to his wings. A crown of wilted flowers charred black sat atop his head.
The pair were as different as night and day. And yet hardly were they seen without one another to accompany them.
Even now, as they two paid obeisance to the Dark Lord of Angband himself, they still remained side by side. who watched them with great amusement.
“Why are you here?” Melkor asked, leaning forward. “Certainly not to drag me from my fortress for a second time? Who sent you, Doomsman? Was it my brother?”
Namo’s gaze rose:
“No. Manwë is...unaware of our presence here.”
The Dark Vala rubbed his chin in thought.
“Unaware, you say?” Melkor asked, with a sneer. “Then...you are not here as Manwë’s eyes and ears? To spy on the likes of me and my minions?”
Namo heard his brother’s gentle bell-like laughter from over his shoulder.
“Dear Melkor, do you really think that of us? The Lord of Taniquetil has, more often than not, cast us out from his sight. Insulted us, even, to our faces. And for what? Why would we spy upon you when we are here before you, paying homage to your lordship?”
The smile on Melkor’s lips spread wide upon hearing that word, revealing sharp pointed teeth. Namo remembered the feeling of those teeth against his skin, making his fëa shiver at the recollection. The Three Ages in which Melkor was his prisoner. The sensation of Melkor’s body against his, writhing. Briefly, Namo’s eyes flicked to Irmo, and was unnerved to see him staring back. Quickly he pushed the indecent thoughts from his mind.
The Dark Vala’s eyes shone, the light from the torches reflecting in the dark orbs.
“Namo Mandos, ever so proud and dutiful to the word of Eru.” Melkor said, leering at the brothers. “A pillar of righteousness. Is that not correct, Doomsman? And so very just in his judgements.”

I’m all moved out of my apartment now, after a whole lot of heavy lifting and throwing away junk. I’m not sure even how to feel, only a little bit nervous and excited at the same time. I’m just hoping that it will lead to some future positivity and some new opportunities job wise. A new start will be good, I’m thinking.
Hope you are all doing well <3!

A favorite that made my day
This is most likely now one of my favorite commissions that I've ever had done :). This commission is of Pallando, probably during his off time from being the head Maia of Mandos, done for me by the fantastic @shirojikimattari on Tumblr. I love it, and I will most likely get a second commission from this artist of Aratacáno :)

So, updates? Not very many, to be honest. Although my state plans to open on the 18th, so we’ll see what happens with that. No word from my job either, not that I was expecting one yet. To be honest I’m not sure why I’m posting an update, because really hardly anything has changed XD.
Once again I have to bring my cat to the vet, since her health has declined quite a lot. She never really fully recovered after getting her teeth taken out, and I feel so terrible about that. The vet tried to get me to pay for another surgery, but I’m so nervous that she will just pass in the middle of it. My cat has been my best friend, and all I want is for her to have a good and healthy life. But looking at her now makes me so upset, since she can hardly keep food down. Hopefully the vet will be able to give me some supportive advice. It’s tough.
Hopefully you all have been having a good week ❤️.

Writing Update*
I decided to rewrite this fic that I had originally written a while ago, trying to maybe make it a little better than it was (I think it turned out okay). This takes place in Numenor, during the reign of Ar-Pharazon. Not too many warnings for this, except for whatever it says in the tags.
Ao3 Link
The idea of Ar-Pharazon waving a drumstick around in the air continues to make me laugh, for some odd reason lol. With Sauron off to the side, saying: I tolerate you. FOR NOW! XD
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, whether it's a kudo or a comment <3.

It seems that the quarantine in Minnesota has been extended past the April 10th date when it was supposed to end (not that I’m really surprised about that, to be honest) and is now scheduled to let up around May 4th. Although from what I’ve been seeing, it might go even longer. I had planned to move back to the east coast by the end of April, but I’m thinking that it’s probably best to stay put at the moment. On the positive side of things, at least we’re having some Spring weather. Definitely not complaining about the lack of snow XD.
Best of health to you all <3

Well I’ve finally heard from my job. I feel soooo much better now that they’ve at least made a decision, and not leaving their workers in the dark. Now at least I can take the necessary steps. It is really a relief, to be completely honest. It might sound silly, but it’s the truth. I would rather know what’s going on and be able to make a game plan, than to have no clue.

Commishy Stuff and Personal
Hope that you are doing okay :). I just wanted to share this beautiful commission of Fëanor that was done for me by the wonderful @captainhowell on Tumblr. After receiving this, all I want to do now is write about Fëanor lol. I had been working on a fic involving a Vanyar OC, but it always seems that the Fëanor muse has a talent for swooping in at random times XD. Best of health to everyone <3.

It would seem that the insanity is moving quickly around here. Trying to pass the time by working on a WIP fic and doing other productive things (aka some semblance of Spring Cleaning), and avoiding social media and the constant barrage of negativity and updated death tolls. Was going to go to my sister’s house to at least try to do some laundry, but decided against it because of her kids and their health. Well, at least it was an attempt at some normalcy 😆. One thing that I have to admit that I miss is having a daily routine (never thought I would end up saying that haha!).
Tried to fix my sleep schedule which has been completely thrown off (I’m usually a night owl anyway, but sleeping two hours a night might not be a good idea lol).
Stay positive, everyone ❤️.

So, in order to have something to do during this quarantine life, I’ve given myself some goals to work on. Top priority is to work on becoming better at cooking. Honestly I’m VERY bad at it, but normally I only have to cook for myself so it’s not a problem. However, since I have not much else to do being stuck in my apartment, I might as well work on improving it. My mom, who is literally a master when it comes to cooking has already started on making me “her project” in that respect lol. Well, there’s so excuse now 😂.
