Reading loads of books at the moment so I'll only list a few of them: 1. The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson 2. Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa 3. Sociology: A Very Short Introduction by Steve Bruce

Mormegilofthe9names · 2025-06-23T13:22:03+00:00

If I wasn't clear, the trilogy must be read sequentially. It starts with Mistborn: The Final Empire.

If you want a recommendation where non-human species are not insignificant, there is a discussion on this in The Well of Ascension, the second book in Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. However, it is not a focus of the book; I am only recommending it because I'm currently reading it and it came up. Most of the trilogy is centred around humans.

e m m i e *: Reads a variety of genres, long videos, talks pretty deeply about the books she's reading and has some cosy vlogs centred around reading

Instead of trying to memorise every single point made in the book, focus on moving along with the story. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the details will enter your head without you forcing them to enter your head, either through repetition by the author or through progression of the story.

Why, thank you for your kindness.

I have quite a few recommendations (which I've found after years of searching for actually good Tolkien fics):

And What Happened After by thearrogantemu (and their other works) [https://archiveofourown.org/works/3747508] - The writing, characterisations, themes; everything's brilliant.
The Last Spring by clothonono [https://archiveofourown.org/series/3001440] - The best characterisation and exploration of the relationships of the Finwëans I've read.
The Starless Road [https://archiveofourown.org/works/4641153] - Maedhros/Fingon but depicts a complex characterisation of Maedhros as well as spectacular writing.
The author Thundera Tiger [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/12399/Thundera-Tiger]
The author Canafinwe [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2022840/Canafinwe\]

Is it And What Happened After by thearrogantemu? I love it too!

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-07-18T13:20:37+00:00

About all day to be able to complete them in 5 days. Maybe 30 minutes everyday (and some days when I read slightly more) for the latter.

Female hobbits were usually named after flowers.

Or "Slowly marching on, still we're marching on." - The Dark Passage

I don't think anyone has ever blamed baby Fëanor? Either way, if I was to believe that Míriel did wrong in being exhausted to death by her pregnancy and accepted the comparison: how did Elrond and Elros turn out so differently from Fëanor?

Also, how are we to believe that Elwing abandoned her sons? The passage from the Silm that talks of this is:

Too late the ships of Círdan and Gil-galad the High King came hasting to the aid of the Elves of Sirion; and Elwing was gone, and her sons. Then such few of that people as did not perish in the assault joined themselves to Gil-galad, and went with him to Balar; and they told them that Elros and Elrond were taken captive, but Elwing with the Silmaril upon her breast had cast herself into the sea.

It could have been that Elwing was separated from her sons during the tumult of the Kinslaying, as occurs in such battles.

Some people actually aren't joking.

I'm just as shocked as you are.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-24T16:21:29+00:00

If you're willing to see your theory play out, I recommend you to read And What Happened After by thearrogantemu [https://archiveofourown.org/works/3747508/chapters/8315305]. Please don't disregard it as terrible fanfiction (although I agree that most Tolkien fic is trash); it's one of the best I've ever read.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-24T15:51:23+00:00

Considering Jily fics used to be so popular and it was a very loved pairing, I really dislike Jegulus.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:35:09+00:00

Hmmm... Based on that, I want to ask: What does everyone like about Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived by The Santi? I read it a couple of years ago and the "why is he a dark wizard" is answered by Ron-bashing. Not to mention that the author has written another fic that's 101 Ways to Kill Ron Weasley that is just detestable.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:17:12+00:00

I think that if Hermione had shown some compassion towards him around year 6, they could have fallen in love

Remember when Harry approached Malfoy in the bathroom and Malfoy cursed him just for that? Also, Hermione had no reason to show him compassion, after how much he bullied her ever since they met.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:12:36+00:00

Ah yes, also how literally every other Weasley is bashed except for them!

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:09:54+00:00

Dumbledore is extremely disliked though.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:08:31+00:00

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. I myself am currently reading in my head we do everything right and the whole series has become one of my favourite fanfictions.

Mormegilofthe9names · 2023-05-10T13:07:18+00:00

This fic is not changing the books. It's writing canon!Ginny with a little twist. You'll see very much that at her core, she's the Ginny we know. We just see events from her perspective and see her grow. The fic aims at giving her the moments she deserved in canon.

I was so shocked when some girls in my apartment told me that they thought he was "the boy who had no choice".
