Chapter 5 Riddles in the Dark: What a great chapter. This is a chapter I wish I could read for the first time without any prior knowledge, because he introduces the ring so blithely and inoffensively, when we know SO Much about what that ring will do. Bilbo the chain smoker having a bit of a nic fit was amusing to me. Which is how I think the smoking should be framed in reading to children. Great beginning with several rhyming terms scattered about. It felt fun and interesting, even as we... The Hobbit chapter 5 ..read more

Recently, I reread the Emperor’s Soul, and I was thinking about how the magic system there is similar and different to how I imagine transfiguration. For those unfamiliar with the magic system, there are forgers capable of transforming objects using stamps. The gist of it is that by recognizing the history of a particular object, they can coax it into being something else. Transfiguration, by contrast, is more standardized. It’s more about understanding the abstract theory regarding a... Transfiguration and The Emperor’s Soul ..read more

Chapter 4 Over Hill and Under Hill So couple of points: 1. Best neologism in years, "it was not a thunderstorm, it was a thunderwar.". Goddamn that worked so well. 2. He drops a dread bomb just in the Front Porch ~`and that was the last they would have of their belongs'. This contrasts well with my 4th point. 3. Bilbo gets his first moment of actually helping in alerting gandalf, and I appreciate it's not a moment of glory, but a small assist. 4. The ponies. In The Fellowship of the Ring, in...

Title: Master of Wood, Water and Hill Author: Karmic Acumen Rating: T Genre: Adventure/Humor Status: In-Progress Length: 93,312 words Summary: Bilbo Baggins wondered what Gandalf was thinking. Oh well, Bag End would sort him out. His house did NOT approve of vandalism, thank you very much. That rune carved into his door learned it personally. Besides, it served the wizard right for not heeding the rumors about Bilbo and the Old Forest. Link:... Master of Wood, Water and Hill by Karmic Acumen - The Hobbit ..read more

This has confused me in both youth and adulthood for completely different reasons. My first time reading these books, I knew just enough to be sure a single robe covered the entire body and wondered why someone would wear more than one. I then grew old enough to appreciate the concept of multiple layers and assumed that to be what Rowling meant. As an adult, I’m less sure: Robes is a countable noun and can refer to either a singular or plural, which means Rowling could feasibly have...

PREFACE: This is a very long, very nerdy post that doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of canon. It’s just a talking point I have seen brought up on here, as well as on other forums. INTRODUCTION: I have four goals in posting this: 1 - To put forth the argument that the problem with quidditch IS NOT the golden snitch, it is the flawed portrayal of details elsewhere in the game. 2 - To put forth my actual gripes with quidditch’s ruleset. 3...

Context: For some time, I’ve been dissatisfied with two key underdeveloped aspects of the Harry Potter universe, and fanfiction has failed to offer the development I’d really enjoy reading. I’ve toyed around with the idea of writing it myself at times and despite having developed various aspects of it fairly well in my head, I’ve never made any attempt (beyond discussing ideas with others) to make good. Part of the purpose of this post is to flesh out the idea and construct a... A Fic That Needs to be Written ..read more

Chapter 3 A Short Rest My 4 week old found Elrond enthralling. I said his name and she made the baby O face with big eyes. I weep for my her love of bishounen already. I'll start building a shelf to store her Sephiroth plushies. As for me, I found the chapter title quite apt. It was a sweet morsel of story, giving us a better understanding of the elves, and giving us some plot details. i like how the key plot points aren't put front and center, but instead put to the end. more time is...
