“It [The Lord of the Rings] is finished, if still partly unrevised, and is, I suppose, in a condition which a reader could read, if he did not wilt at the sight of it…now I look at it, the magnitude of the disaster is apparent to me. My work has escaped from my control, and I have produced a monster: an immensely long, complex, rather bitter, and very terrifying romance, quite unfit for children (if fit for anybody); and it is not really a sequel to The Hobbit, but to The Silmarillion.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien to Sir Stanley Unwin, 24 February 1950. Reprinted in The Fall of Gondolin (via thebookwormunderground)

What writer hasn’t finished their first draft and thought, “the magnitude of the disaster is apparent to me”? 

I've never been more devastated that I'm going to miss an event in my life. What a fucking icon.

never mind, I can make it!!

Update;

She expected maybe 5-10 people to show up. There were about 100.

I gave out scotch eggs to commemorate the occasion.

She gave a beautiful speech, was blindfolded, then kicked REAL good. Crumpled. Gave us a thumbs up.

Applause. Then the flute. Then a moment's silence.

Absolutely beautiful. I fucking love trans people and Glasgow and trans Glaswegians.

Ok thank GOD there’s an update.

Driving in Boston is so funny because the street names are so old they make no sense now! There’s no river on river street, no beach on beach street, no school on school street, no market on market street, no quarter on quarter street, no hope on hope street, no mercy on mercy street, and no escape on any street at all

reconnecting with my new england roots this winter break. I’m pretty sure this is sorta incomprehensible to anyone unfamiliar to the area.

gothic horror is when there's a location. cosmic horror is when there's an unauthorized fucking Thing. folk horror is when you're outside.
