Hi, I'm Leafy and I'm a recovering reddit addict.

Love nicotine+. Choosing not to see those locked file assholes was the best gift this interface gave me.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Season One: Amazon Original Series Soundtrack) (open.spotify.com)

While finding myself amazed at how this whole Fediverse thing works, I came across this Rings of Power magazine in kbin. I'm a big fan of the show and hope to see positivity (mostly, of course as constructive criticism is a good thing) and discussion on the show. To be more on topic, I've added a link to the score from Season 1...

@Biotic Hello and welcome! So far it's just me but I'm a huge fan and hope that we'll have some good discussions come season 2.

@Biotic That is true! And part of the reason I claimed this community early was to ensure that it won't fall into less loving hands.

They finished filming season 2 this month, but I think it'll take a while for editing and animating so some time 2024 is a safe bet.

A return to teaching phonics is good news! A little meh about the cursive thing because it's really only practical if they're writing with fountain pens. It's more important that children write things physically, doesn't matter what print.

@DerpyPoint Not the biggest fan of them but if that's what the people want...

@arkcom Yeah it's so odd that they count Boosts instead of Upvotes. Why do we need two??

That is cheaper than a house wei. Which is probably a worse reflection on KL property prices.

  1. Mithril. I do not understand why it had to made such a big deal of. I especially cannot stand that apocryphal story. Fingers crossed it was all lies to deceive the elves.
  2. The pacing. Some parts were entirely too fast and then some parts (cough Harfoots) lingered too long. I liked the Harfoot plotline, but it could have been so much snappier.

I'll start.

  1. Galadriel. I like how unhinged and unlikable she was. It might be very at odds with her Third Age personality but I've always liked the more conflicted and Feanor-like versions of her found in earlier versions of the Legendarium. It's the ironic parallel that the darkness she saw in Feanor she was too proud to see in herself. Also, I just like the House of Finwe and their drama.
  2. Numenor. It was by far the most gorgeously rendered and carefully designed setting in the show. I love the cracked and crumbling old, Elvish-influenced parts of the city and the hints of Valar worship. I like the existence of so many canals in the city, hinting at a people who wouldn't get off their boats if they can help it. Fitting for descendants of Earendil!

Damn... I really loved the one at the Curve too. So many memories.

Omg, is this a universal experience?? Because that's what my mom did too.

What?! I was only there at CNY. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Saved this picture a million years ago and thought it'd fit the general idea.

I had that problem too but turns out I didn't turn on notifications in settings. Maybe tweaking that might help?

Upvotes can be seen from your "Favourites" page, boost gives us reputation points. I do not understand the logic tbh.

LeafyPasserine,

I think it worked? My reputation points increased.

Nice! And don't worry about forgetting what inks are in which, I do too. I keep on reminding myself to make swatches but I never do.

@Kootta You could try using a wet cloth/tissue to wipe the nibs and see if that helps. If you're looking for starter pen recommendations, Pilot and Platinum have better quality control. A Preppy wouldn't break the bank and are pretty reliable.
