My three OCs from the Team Medi universe are Adam III, the thinker, Joshua Maurice, the Planner and Buffi K’gar, the doer. They’re my core characters and everyone else kind of latches onto them in some way.

I’m not doing three because I just got back from rehearsal, but…

Chava Mandelbaum is engaged to Benny Budin (Bombur). She’s an astrophysics PhD, Orthodox by upbringing, and one of the middle children of a family of eight kids. Her parents booted her out a while ago over the education thing, so she’s told them to go screw themselves in the best way she knows how: moving in with a lovely fat redheaded man.

I have two dwarf OCs right now, Laran Aeducan and Japhra Cadash, from the Dragon Age games. I have a VERY extended modern au where Aeducan and her partner are two police officers who help Cadash get into a witness relocation program for turning in some members of a dangerous dwarven gang. This totally counts as two OCs – Seas, tell me about two of yours!

Because you didn’t specify human: Chazzer and Trayf are, respectively, Dwight Feldman/Noah Reisberg and Danny Reisberg’s dogs (Sons of Jerusalem). Chazzer – an Anglicization of a Hebrew word meaning ‘pig’ or ‘unclean’ – is a rescue pit bull whom Noah found in someone’s backyard. Trayf, meaning ‘unkosher,’ is a rescue Weimaraner. Both of them are complete marshmallows, and are named because their people thought it was funny to be ironic (in another example of that irony, Noah and Dwight’s pet potbellied pig is named Kosher).

Tell me a favorite OC you love to write!

Monique Willis, born Monique Bryden (Sons of Jerusalem), is an ER nurse, former roommate and current best friend of Bill Baggins. She lives with her eleven-year-old twin sons, Bryden and Reynard “Ray” Willis, and their pug, Cornwallis. In her free time, she likes reading what she considers trashy books, going for walks, and actually getting some damn sleep. Do you have ANY idea how many bodily fluids she encounters on a daily basis? But she digresses.

Interesting fact: she had a Haitian grandfather who spent some time in France, hence her knowledge of the Reynard fox story.

I don’t think you’re even meant to think Bilbo would need to apologize to Thorin. Apologies if you’ve said it before, and I’m not saying Bilbo needs to suffer, or that anyone else deserved to die, but I don’t see why only Thorin was so bad he had to die. The movie even takes away that there was a good point to not want the men and elves there. I’ll check your stuff out.

Oh, wow, side effect of answering an ask! 😀 Thanks, anon!

Thorin definitely wasn’t bad at all. He was just sick, and I’m sticking with it. ❤

In the book I don’t you’re supposed to relate to anyone other than Bilbo. I know this will get read the wrong way but I don’t hate Bilbo at all, but from a different perspective I can’t ignore the real world antisemitic tropes loaded on the Dwarves. The movie hasThorin more well rounded and talks about the dragon spell but the character is still more remembered for the gold obsession so when I think of the associations people make with Jewish influenced characters I feel uncomfortable.

Yeah. This, all of this. Which is why I flesh out Thorin as much as I can in fic. 😀

Unpopular opinion but I can’t buy the Hobbit as a good metaphor of the evils of capitalism or that it says anything about how bad rich people are when the end has Bilbo going home rich. I just don’t get why I’m supposed to agree that the Dwarves are a metaphor for rich greedy people and the Jewish connection makes me dislike it. I know the canon hints they deserve their misfortune but I don’t agree with how it’s written.

I don’t agree with it, either.

I like Bilbo, but as I’ve said before, he’s the audience surrogate – that is, if the audience is a clueless white man. Bagginshield (unfortunately) isn’t canon, so we can’t say he spends the rest of his life grieving for Thorin as Thorin was meant to be grieved. It’s arguable that his time with the Ring affected him very deeply and negatively, but I don’t like that he never faced any clear consequences for what he did to Thorin. Thorin DIED. Bilbo…well, as you said, he went home rich, and in the books, there was never a single apology.

We have a problem.

godihatethisfreakingcat:

Our apartment is just
plain too small. Proof? The kitten, in a flying leap, knocked a bottle into
another bottle of juice and broke it. Sushi ended up with glass in her finger
and had a full-scale freak-out, and it’s hardly the first time we’ve found
ourselves in a similarly dangerous situation.

The fact is, there isn’t
room for us and our things, no matter how much we try to organize – and Sushi’s
executive function difficulties and disabilities don’t allow for a hell of a
lot. It’s led to a lot of physical difficulties and emotional tension. We need
to rent a house.

Unfortunately, our
horrible apartment complex will charge us $1000 if we try to break the lease
early, and that doesn’t cover moving costs or security deposit. So here’s the thing: knitting commissions are open. If I may say so, I’m very, very good,
and I’m fast. So please commission me. I work a full-time job, Sushi is
severely disabled, and our situation sucks right now.

Please boost. I don’t think we can wait until April.

Update for everyone who’s reblogged:

Having spoken to my parents regarding what to do, Sushi and I have been convinced to wait until our lease ends, since $1000 could go towards a new bed and other necessities once we do move. Thank you to those who have commissioned already, and much of what I make from this will still be put in savings for moving costs.
