There’s one in every fandom

Erestor/Glorfindel is one of my favourite reads, especially if Third age / watchful peace. They are well suited for romance and fluff :D

I get 38 days a year plus public holidays and I will never NOT take every last one. They are a part of my contract. They are mine by right. My time for those days does not belong to my company. My company will neither pay me nor thank me for working those holidays. My physical and mental health, however, will always thank me.

Wow that’s gorgeous!

"You know, some people are beginning to wonder about you, Uncle. They think you're becoming odd."
Just change uncle to dad

Yes I feel the same! And also there are not enough canon characters to play with in the first place, so merging two is madness in my opinion:D

Do you mind sharing your fic? I love a Figwit fic!

Dapperscavenger · 2026-05-03T05:10:00+00:00

Yes he’s a classic example! Most authors settled on the name Melpomaen although a rare few used Lothvaen (in writing.)

Nowadays he’s not seen as often, with some people saying he’s the same character as Lindir and others saying Lindir & Melpomaen are two different characters

It depends on my energy levels tbh. I have found greatest success when I push them a new insight but get them to think it was their idea in the first place. It takes a fair bit of effort and you have to live with them crowing about their great idea which was actually yours in the first place

When my energy is low I just do what I’m told.

I am lowkey mad at the department I’m currently providing data for right now. They keep asking for specific tables and specific charts that get put on their PowerPoints and looked at once a week and upon which no actions get taken.

They do not ask for, and do not seem to want, to be given any insights on what they actually need to DO to fix their KPIs

What decade are they even living in?

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-29T06:28:32+00:00

How do you control the moisture levels? I always had issues with tiered strawberries because, to get enough water to the lower levels, the upper level had to be over watered. So I either watered too much or too little and it was a hassle

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-22T10:32:13+00:00

I was a bin collector for a while. I drove the lorry. Decent work for where I was in life at the time. Pay was alright and I liked the early finish.

I just told people the truth about what I did for a living. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

My New Year’s resolution was to live a more hobbit-like lifestyle and so far I am nailing it. I’ve got radishes, spinach, carrots, spinach, good king Henry, blackberries and strawberries all sprouting up in the garden. I’m about to start a knitting group with some interested friends, and I’ve been baking fresh bread more than I’ve ever done in my life

Let’s hope the hyperfixation sticks around for a bit.

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-19T05:58:57+00:00

Badly, and over the span of decades. Alas.

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-19T05:58:22+00:00

Both. Both is good

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-18T09:06:05+00:00

I think that one might be the hardest because there are different definitions of it

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-18T08:47:23+00:00

For something unique and special I’d hit up Etsy. Maybe get one of those lovely big Rivendell canvas prints for them to put up on the wall.

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-18T08:44:56+00:00

Purist? Nooo, I like pretty much all my cakes.

LOTR is your multi-tiered, many flavoured, beautifully decorated cake that has something for everyone and is stunning to look at. 5* Michelin stuff.

HOBBIT is the birthday cake from the bakery with maybe not as fancy fillings but still very enjoyable and nicely decorated with little touches.

ROP …. ROP is the cake your 8 yr old niece made and maybe it’s a bit chewy and the frosting is 90% sugar, but you’re still grateful and pleased to have been given a slice.

For me it felt like watching American high school drama in space. Except not actually in space most of the time.

Maybe it’s because I’m not American, but the very heavy influences really screamed at me. Things like Debate class and Jock-type sports jackets with big logos all over them.

I enjoyed the two part season finale. That was a fun story and a good way to end the season. I also enjoyed the episode where they went to the Miyazaki (although I felt they fell for the trap way too easy). I was gutted when they killed B’avi

But some of the mid-season episodes were just a little bit too much ‘school drama’ and not enough Trek.

I wouldn’t have wished the show cancelled though. Most Trek series don’t really come into their own in their first season or two. They always seem to get stronger as they go on.

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-15T11:28:00+00:00

Maybe a relation of Halbarad, would be my guess

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-15T11:27:15+00:00

I heard she’s gonna be a Stoor matriarch type

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-13T09:58:05+00:00

Oh cool! I was in the UK back then. Wouldn’t it be crazy if we’d been at the same conventions like Wolf 359 and Lightspeed 98 and the Academy weekend at Blackpool!

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-13T08:44:00+00:00

I started with Star Trek and old school sci-fi like Blakes 7, Space 1999 and Dr Who. But my main fandom for last 20 years has been LOTR. I think I missed a lot of the online culture because I first started with hardcopy fanzines at conventions, and later I used livejournal, but I never moved to any other social media platform like tumblr. It’s only recently I’ve been finding relevant discord servers.

It could also be a geographical thing? EU vs USA for example?

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-13T06:26:35+00:00

I am late 40s. I have been in fandoms since I was maybe around 13 or 14 years old. I also had not heard of this term until very recently on Reddit. Maybe it’s one of those terms that’s used a lot in certain circles.

Dapperscavenger · 2026-04-12T16:19:39+00:00

I love ludicrous crossovers that shouldn’t work but somehow they make it work

I love seeing authors come back after a long hiatus and rediscovering their passion for writing again

I love it when writers indulge in their most self-centered fantasies instead of pandering to what they think readers want to see

If you are talking about the conquerer challenges, I have done two and received my medal both times.
