The lovely ceallaig1 asked me a while back if I would draw her something for her brilliant fic Jewels in the Crown of Our King. Well who could resist drawing Thorin mid coronation (Tolkien you sod. Dammit man, he deserved to get that)

The Giant African Snail. While they can be kept as pets, they are often considered as an invasive species. They can live for several years and grow up to 20cm (7.8 inches) in length.
The Department of Awesome Natural Phenomena is currently rejoicing because frozen bubble has returned. Martin, MI-based photographer Hope Carter uses both store-bought liquid soap and a homemade soap bubble mixture to create beautiful iridescent bubbles that immediately begin to crystalize in the bitter cold temperatures of the Midwest winter.
The colder the weather, the faster the bubbles freeze, and Carter’s main challenge lies in quickly capturing the delicate bubbles before they burst. While most pop within seconds, surprisingly, some sit frozen for minutes at a time—“I think the longest I’ve ever had a bubble remain intact was about seven minutes,” she recalls.
“I wish I knew how many I have blown, 10’s of 1,000’s by now as most pop by the time I am able to focus the camera,” she tells My Modern Met via email. “When I am able to successfully capture the photo of nature’s beauty, it brings nothing but pure joy!”
I just watched Paddington for the first time. It was adorable, but more importantly, why did none of you ever tell me it’s about Bungo and Belladonna?

Mrs. Brown “illustrates adventure stories,” one of which is set in the “old tunnels and sewers under London.” (Hobbit holes, anyone?) She also has this hair:
They have a TREE in their entrance hall:
Their attic has a ROUND WINDOW:
THE DOOR TO THEIR HOUSE IS GREEN!!!!!
Oh, and did I mention their last name starts with B? LIKE BAGGINS?
In conclusion, this is my new favorite movie, and if Hugh Bonneville and Sally Hawkins ever want to put on some hobbit feet and act out my fics, I would not object.
